Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP) Emergency Plan is to protect the health and safety of the general public, persons temporarily visiting or assigned to the plant, and plant employees in accordance with the requirements set forth in Appendix E, "Emergency Plans for Production and Utilization Facilities", of 10CFR50, "Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities". Detailed procedures concerning the implementation of the Emergency Plan are not included here but are included in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. These procedures, listed in Appendix 4(D), describe the duties of individuals and groups in the event of an emergency and they also serve as an interface of the Emergency Plan to plant operations, security and radiological control. Supporting emergency plans, which include the emergency plans for the states of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, are listed in Appendix 6(F).Information submitted in this plan was developed in accordance with the elements outlined in NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1 "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants". Information that describes the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) for Southern Nuclear is outlined in Appendix 7(G).B.

SUMMARY

Southern Nuclear Operating Company corporate management has overall responsibility for maintaining a state of readiness to implement emergency plans for the protection of plant personnel, the general public and property from hazards associated with ionizing radiation originating within a company facility. The authority for planning, developing, and coordinating emergency control measures is discussed in Appendix 9 (I), Responsibility For The Planning Effort.The Farley Plant Emergency Plan describes the organization and facilities both onsite and offsite that will be used to deal with a spectrum of accidents ranging from minor onsite incidents to those that could affect the general public.There are three phases of responsive action contained within the Farley Plant Emergency Plan. The first phase includes initial actions directed toward the protection of personnel and the elimination of the potential for further exposure to the hazard.1 Rev. 42 The second phase includes immediate and planned action directed toward termination of the incident, containment of the effluent, establishment of incident boundaries, establishment of control, channeling of information and protection of the facility and equipment. The third phase is to restore the facility to its normal operating condition. To respond effectively utilizing these phases, emergencies are classified according to increasing severity as Notification of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency or General Emergency. C. GENERAL INFORMATION

ASSESSMENT FACILITIES In order to carry out the assessment actions described in Section IV, facilities must be available for initial as well as continuous evaluation of emergency conditions.

1. Onsite Systems and Equipment a. Natural Phenomena Monitors 40 Rev. 41 The plant is equipped with both primary and backup meteorological towers instrumented as shown in Table 2. The primary tower provides input to a recorder in the control room which records wind speed (35 ft. or 150 ft. elevation), wind direction (35 ft. or 150 ft.elevation) and lapse rate (selectable between redundant 200 ft. -35 ft. channels).

The primary tower feeds lapse rate data and both towers feed wind speed, wind direction, sigma theta and sigma phi data to the plant computer utilized for dose calculations. Computer terminals in the TSC and EOF can be utilized to obtain real time or 15 minute average readouts of meteorological data. Should the plant's meteorological equipment become inoperable, information is available from the approved Flight Service, from the Georgia Pacific Paper Company or from the regional National Weather Service offices.Various types of seismic instrumentation are located on vital pieces of equipment and structures throughout the site, a number of which have readout and/or annunciation in the control room. A complete discussion of these monitors is given in FSAR Section 3.7.4.Seismic information may also be obtained from the National Earthquake Center in Golden, Colorado.The plant is equipped with hydrologic monitors to monitor river water level and service water pond level. These monitors have readout and annunciation in the control room. Redundant river water level monitors provide control room indication from 65 to 130 feet MSL river level. A discussion of service water pond level monitors is given in FSAR Section 9.2.1.5.b. Radiological Monitors Portable monitors and sampling equipment used during normal plant operations are available in the Health Physics Instrument Issue Room on elevation 155 of the auxiliary building for use during emergencies. Portable monitors and/or sampling equipment designated for emergency use are located in various areas of the plant. A general category listing of emergency supplies and equipment is included in Appendix 1(A) and an itemized listing can be found in FNP-0-EIP-16, "Emergency Equipment and Supplies". Process, area and effluent monitors that may be used for emergency assessment are described in Appendix 3(C). A complete discussion of these monitors is given in FSAR Sections 11.4 and 12.1.4.Monitors on gaseous effluent release points provide 41 Rev. 50 input signals to a plant computer utilized for offsite dose calculations; computer terminals in the TSC and EOF can be utilized to obtain one minute or 15 minute average effluent activity data. FNP-0-EIP-30, "Post Accident Core Damage Assessment", provides correlations between containment high range area monitor readings and core damage.c. Post Accident Sampling Facilities Facilities are provided for obtaining highly radioactive samples while minimizing personnel exposure. Reactor coolant samples, both pressurized (RCS) and unpressurized (RHR/containment sump) may be obtained utilizing a remotely operated sampling panel.The panel provides for obtaining samples of both liquid phase and non-condensable gas phase components. Particulate, iodine and noble gas samples may be obtained from the containment atmosphere or the plant vent stack utilizing remotely operated valves. All systems provide for collection of small aliquots of the sampled media. Sampling capability also exists for the steam generators and steam jet air ejectors. Shielded containers, portable shielding and remote handling apparati allow analysis with minimum exposure.d. Fire Detection Fire and smoke detection monitors are located in all vital buildings on the plant site with extensive coverage in the Auxiliary Building, Containment and Turbine Building. A complete description of the fire protection and detection systems is given in FSAR Section 9.5, and fire protection re-evaluation report entitled, "Farley Nuclear Plant Fire Protection Program Re-evaluation".

2. Environs Monitoring Facilities and Equipment A comprehensive environmental monitoring program is established for the Farley Plant covering both onsite and offsite areas. Equipment used in this program that may be used for emergency assessment is as follows: a. TLDs b. Air particulate and iodine monitors c. Portable radiation survey instruments Although the TLDs and the air particulate and iodine samples may be evaluated by an outside vendor, the capability for evaluating the air particulate and iodine samples exists at the plant. FNP-0-RCP-25 provides methodology for utilizing available air sampling and monitoring 42 Rev. 49 equipment to measure radioiodine concentrations in air in the plume exposure EPZ as low as 10-7 uCi/mI under field conditions.

Interference from noble gas and background radiation will not decrease the minimum detectable activity. A detailed description of the minimum portable and fixed health physics equipment available at the site is given in FSAR Section 12.3. Predesignated monitoring and sampling points are listed in FNP-0-EIP-4, "Health Physics Support to the Emergency Plan".The states of Georgia and Florida have mobile laboratory facilities that could be used in case of emergencies. All field monitoring data will be transmitted to and analyzed at the EOF (the TSC until the EOF is staffed). The University of Georgia and Oak Ridge National Laboratories have fixed radiological laboratories in the general geographic area that can aid in radiological analysis. It is estimated that the response time for these organizations will range from 2 to 4 hours.The plant is equipped with a computer which utilizes automatically input meteorological data, effluent monitor data and selected plant parameter data (e.g. steam generator pressure, plant vent stack flow rate, etc.) to calculate estimated and projected offsite dose.The system automatically actuates when effluent monitors indicate abnormal release point activity and continues until manually terminated. Calculational results are available at computer terminals located at the TSC, EOF and other selected locations. In the event that the above computer is not available and for long term dose assessment, a manual personal computer method is provided in FNP-0-EIP-9.3, "Personal Computer -Automated Dose Assessment Method". The system calculates estimated and projected offsite dose, and plume dimensions, location and arrival times out to 50 miles from the plant site. Meteorological data, effluent monitor data and plant parameter data utilized in the manual calculations will usually be obtained from local data systems. In the event that the local data systems are not available then data may be obtained from the control room meteorological data recorder, effluent monitor instruments and control room indicators. A detailed discussion of the automatic offsite dose assessment method is provided in FNP-0-M-007, "Emergency Dose Calculation Manual". A detailed discussion of the manual offsite dose assessment method is provided in the MIDAS (Meteorological Information and Dose Assessment System) Technical Manual.Results of dose estimates and projections are provided to off-site agencies responsible for initiating protective actions using the SNC Integrated Data Display System, telecopy system, ENN, ENS and/or commercial telephones. 43 Rev. 50

ASSESSMENT ACTIONS AND PROTECTIVE MEASURES A. CLASSIFICATION OF EMERGENCIES CLASSIFICATION OF EMERGENCIES IS DESCRIBED IN APPENDIX 11 (k)I B. POST ACCIDENT ASSESSMENT ACTIONS Effective coordination and direction of all elements of the emergency organization require continuing assessment through the duration of the emergency situation. In addition to continued monitoring of control room instrumentation and plant parameters, some special assessment actions are, initiated if appropriate. These assessment functions are identified below: 1. Reactor Coolant Sampling, Containment Atmosphere Sampling and Plant Vent Stack Sampling.RCS, containment atmosphere and/or plant vent stack samples will be taken and analyzed to assess the severity of core damage and the potential radiological consequences. The detailed sampling procedures for each area are provided in FNP-0-CCP-1300, "Chemistry and Environmental Activities During a Radiological Accident". FNP-0-EIP-30 "Post Accident Core Damage Assessment" provides a method to estimate the extent of core damage utilizing various plant monitor readings.2. Surveillance of Control Room Monitors Surveillance of radiological and meteorological monitors in the control room is primarily the responsibility of operations personnel. However, in the event that offsite assessments based on this data are necessary, an individual designated by the Emergency Director will maintain surveillance over effluent monitor readings and dose projections, periodically reporting them to those designated in FNP-0-EIP-6, "TSC Setup and Activation". If the dose assessment computer is inoperable, the designated individual will periodically log the monitor values.3. In-Plant and Site Surveys During emergency conditions in-plant, site and site boundary surveys will be performed as appropriate by the Field Monitoring Team as described in FNP-0-EIP-4, "Health Physics Support to the Emergency Plan". The Field Monitoring Team will be capable of sampling under field conditions and will be capable of measuring radioiodine in the presence of noble gas and background radiation to as low as 5 x 10-8 uCi/cc.4. Population Exposure 56 Rev. 50 Exposure projections shall be periodically estimated in the affected sectors utilizing projected dose and measured dose rates. The Dose Assessment Supervisor will work with the state/local agency representatives to determine the Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) exposure (resulting from external exposure and inhalation of the plume and external exposure from deposition) and thyroid Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) exposure (resulting from the inhalation of radio-iodines).

5. Environs Surveys and Monitoring

a. Short Term Assessment Short term assessment will involve the use of the estimates and projections provided by the emergency dose calculation computer programs performed in accordance with FNP-0-EIP-9, "Emergency Actions" and FNP-0-EIP-9.3 "Personal Computer-Automated Dose Assessment Methods".

Onsite and offsite surveys will be performed as necessary to verify release information or as a backup assessment method should the instrumentation used for dose assessment go off-scale or become inoperable. Monitoring teams will normally be dispatched in vehicles and will be equipped with two-way radios for communication with the TSC or EOF. Teams will be equipped with liquid sampling equipment, a GM instrument, an ion chamber instrument, and/or an air sampler as deemed appropriate by the Emergency Director, Health Physics Supervisor or Dose Assessment Supervisor. An environs survey team could be in the field within one hour. Radiological survey and sampling points will be identified by sector as shown in Figure 20. The correlation of various measured parameters (contamination levels, water and air activities) to dose rates for key isotopes and gross radioactivity levels is provided by FNP-0-RCP-25.

b. Long Term Assessment The long term aspects involving offsite assessments of contamination involving analysis of soil, vegetation, food, milk and water will be primarily handled by the states of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida as discussed in their Radiological Emergency Plans. The response of SNC would be to increase the sampling frequency of its established environmental monitoring program.C. PROTECTIVE ACTIONS AND EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS The nature of protective actions to be implemented, the criteria for application, and the area involved or groups of persons for whom the protective actions would be taken are given here.57 Rev. 49

1. Onsite Protective Action a. Evacuation In the event of a Notification of Unusual Event an area of the turbine building, auxiliary building, or containment may have to be evacuated.

Personnel would be notified to evacuate the affected area via the public address system as directed by the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. Should a Site Area Emergency, General Emergency, or an Alert.be declared, immediate notification of all persons onsite may be accomplished by sounding the Plant Emergency Alarm and announcing the condition over the plant public address system.Personnel onsite would report to their pre-assigned assembly area and preparations for evacuation of nonessential persons from the site would begin. Depending on the severity of the emergency condition, these individuals will be held in an assembly area, evacuated, or returned to work.If a site evacuation is warranted, personnel will be advised as to which routes should be used. The normal routes are State Highway 95 North or South and County Road 42 West (Figures 17 and 19). All personnel being evacuated from the site will be monitored before being released. Personnel leaving the site would then proceed, in their own vehicles, on one of these major routes, to their residences. Transportation for persons without vehicles will be arranged.The details for evacuation and personnel accountability of all categories of personnel listed above are given in FNP-0-EIP-10,"Evacuation and Personnel Accountability" and FNP-0-EIP-14"Personnel Movement, Relocation, Re-Entry and Site Evacuation".

b. Personnel Accountability Each plant supervisor or the senior individual onsite from his group is responsible for accounting for all persons working in or visiting his group. Accountability within the Protected Area will be determined by the senior individual at the assembly area coordinating with the Primary Access Point (PAP) and then will be reported to the Emergency Director by the senior plant security force member at the PAP. Accountability within the Controlled Area will be determined by the senior individual at each assembly area coordinating with the Central Security Control (CSC) Building Staff and then will be reported to the Emergency Director by the senior individual in the CSC.Contractor personnel assigned to Plant Modification and Maintenance Support (PMMS) report to the Fabrication Shop and will assemble by individual craft. Fitness for Duty Facility personnel outside the Protected Area report to the Training Center Break Room. No public access areas 58 Rev. 51 pass through or are within the owner controlled area. The owner controlled area is fenced and/or posted. Security patrols are conducted at random intervals as a part of daily routine.Detailed procedures for determining and reporting accountability are given in FNP-0-EIP-10, "Evacuation and Personnel Accountability".

Responsibilities for accountability during local evacuations are also listed in FNP-0-EIP-10,"Evacuations and Personnel Accountability". Following accountability initiation, security personnel will control site access and egress for the duration of the emergency, maintaining entry/exit logs to allow accountability of all personnel onsite.c. Contamination and Exposure Control Measures f The limits for personnel exposure set forth in 1 OCFR20 shall not be exceeded without approval of the Emergency Director or his designee. Emergency exposure criteria are: 1) Farley Nuclear Plant personnel who have completed the onsite radiation protection training, may receive o 10 Rem When emergency onsite action is required to eliminate a source or potential source that represents a hazard to the general public or to prevent a substantial loss in property and a lower dose is not practicable. o 25 Rem For life-saving operations such as rescue and search for known missing persons or for protection of large populations when a lower dose is not practicable. o >25 Rem but not to exceed 100 Rem For lifesaving or protection of large populations only on a voluntary basis. The volunteer worker should do so with full awareness of the associated risks for the radiation dose to be incurred.2) Hospital and Ambulance Service Personnel, may receive o 3 Rem If there is an adequate number of attendants such that rotation may be accomplished without further endangering the patient(s). o 5 Rem If the number of attendants is limited such that personnel cannot be rotated.o 25 Rem To save a life.59 Rev. 27 Dosimetry, respiratory protection equipment and protective clothing will be issued for use in accordance with established Radiological Control Procedures. A supply of radio protective drugs (potassium iodide) is available onsite and, if necessary, will be issued at the direction of the Emergency Director to emergency personnel remaining or arriving onsite.The levels of permissible radioactive contamination for personnel and equipment to be released from an RCA during an emergency are as follows: Personnel Equipment<5,000 dpm/100 cm 2 ND GMT/100 cm 2 (smearable) and<.25 mR/hr (fixed)However, the Emergency Director may authorize higher levels based on plant conditions and recommendations from the HP Supervisor. When levels above these values are encountered, decontamination will be initiated. Facilities, supplies and waste disposal capability exists to provide for both personnel (emergency or onsite relocated) and equipment decontamination. Methods for equipment decontamination are discussed in FNP-0-RCP-862, "Area and Equipment Decontamination Guidelines" and for personnel in FNP-0-RCP-29.1, "Guidelines for Personnel Decon and Response to Personnel Contamination Events" with particular attention being given to radioiodine contamination of the skin. Extra clothing for personnel will be provided in the event personal clothing is confiscated. Information on personnel decontamination facilities is contained in Section III.To prevent or minimize direct or subsequent ingestion exposure to radioactive materials deposited on the ground or other surfaces, access into the exclusion area will be controlled by security personnel. Additionally, if conditions warrant, the site drinking water will be sampled and analyzed for radioactivity and quarantined, if necessary. If a quarantine is placed on the water, it will not be returned to use until the activity has returned to within acceptable limits as dictated by the State of Alabama Board of Health "Regulations Governing Public Water Supplies". Personnel which are found to be contaminated when monitored during evacuation will be returned to the plant for deconning if possible. If the plant is not accessible, the personnel will be transported to the nearest decontamination facility.Offsite contamination controls are described in the states of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida plans.2. Offsite Protective Action The states of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida are responsible, in 60 Rev. 39 their respective state, for handling the offsite radiological aspects of any emergency that should develop at the Farley Nuclear Plant. The Emergency Plans for Alabama, Georgia, and Florida are given in each states Radiological Emergency Plan.The criteria to be used for offsite protective action recommendations is given below. The basis for protective action guides is the "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Action for Nuclear Incidents", EPA-400-R-92-001. It should be noted that these levels are quite low and are used as guidelines for protective action rather than rigid levels of action. Recommendation of sheltering in residences shall be considered when there is radiological puff release that exceeds the projected dosage for a general emergency listed in section a below or there are hazards on or off-site that would make an evacuation dangerous. Areas within a ten mile radius in which protective action is deemed necessary will be referred to by Evacuation Zone as shown in Figure 21. The population distribution within this ten-mile radius has been predicted for the life of the plant and is summarized graphically in Figure 22.a. Classification of Offsite Incidents SNC Projected Organ or Classification Dosage Media Involved GENERAL 1.0 Rem TEDE 5.0 Rem Thyroid CDE SITE AREA 0.1 Rem TEDE 0.5 Rem Thyroid CDE b. Response Classification Protective Actions to be Recommended to State Authorities GENERAL Recommendations based on plant conditions or projected dose: 1.) PAR 1 -Shelter to 2 miles and 5 mile downwind zones. Used when there is radiological puff release that exceeds the projected dosage for a general emergency listed in section a above or there are hazards on or off-site that would make an evacuation dangerous. 2.) PAR 2 -Evacuate to 2 miles and 5 mile downwind zones. Used when a general emergency has been declared but the projected dosage for a general emergency listed in section a above has not been exceeded.3). PAR 3 -Evacuate to 5 miles and 10 mile downwind zones Used when a general emergency has been declared and the projected dosage for a general emergency listed in section a above has been exceeded.4) Distribution of potassium iodide (KI) in accordance with State plans.5) Advise Remainder of EPZ to Monitor Local Radio/TV Stations and TARs for Additional Information. 61 Rev. 45 Classification SITE AREA ALERT Protective Actions to be Recommended to State Authorities No Protective Action Recommendations are to be made at the Site Area emergency level. The Emergency Director should upgrade to a General Emergency if PARs are determined to be needed and not already in a General Emergency. No Protective Action Recommendations are to be made at the Alert level.The Emergency Director should upgrade to a General Emergency if PARs are determined to be needed and not already in a General Emergency. The authority for initiation or relaxation of protective action recommendations is vested solely with the Emergency Director and may not be delegated to any other member of the emergency organization. Processes for development, approval, and notification of protective action recommendations are described in NMP-EP-1 11, "Emergency Notifications" and NMP-EP-1 12"Protective Action Recommendations". 62 Rev. 51 RADIOLOGICAL SURVEY AND SAMPLING REPORTING SECTORS FIGURE 20 63 Rev. 49 T PROTECTIVE ACTION SECTORS FIGURE 21 64 Rev. 49 ¶10MILES 0 t CN c'J C C)Ci r- b,, oý2 Nv cI 00 '*- 0) -0A Co 4,2 0ZE 34.0 009420 19 6' 0?6 3 63 ~9?0A 0 celLot. c C1 0 102- 1 n.Ce~ c O( ri 0 10 ,7N3.4-5 7 1 0' '6L 0 0 PREDICTED POPU ATIO INI THE VIINT OF F R EY NU L A PLANT7 0 18 19 9961FIUR BASE ONj FSA FIUE 2.-5 6 AN 7,0 n3. 0 1520 FIGURE722 65 Rev. 44 V. ACTIVATION OF EMERGENCY ORGANIZATION A. DECLARATION OF AN EMERGENCY The Shift Manager shall have the authority and responsibility to immediately and unilaterally declare an emergency and initiate emergency response. Section IV of this plan delineates criteria for declaring emergency conditions. Upon declaration of an emergency the Shift Manager will immediately notify the on-call Emergency Director (ED). Until the on-call ED arrives onsite and relieves the Shift Manager, the Shift Manager shall complete the duties of the ED prior to the on-call ED taking full responsibility for implementation of the Emergency Plan. Duties of the Shift Manager as an Emergency Director are addressed in FNP-0-EIP-3.0, "Duties of the Emergency Director". Additional notification responsibilities are discussed in Section VI and described in NMP-EP-1 10, "Emergency Classification Determination and Initial Action" and NMP-EP-1 11, "Emergency Notifications". The ED, Shift Clerk, or designee will notify the EOF Manager of the emergency condition. The EOF Manager will decide on the appropriate level of activation utilizing the criteria shown in Table 4.B. ORGANIZATION ACTIVATION The minimum quantity of personnel available on shift and the quantity of additional personnel available within 75 minutes following declaration of the emergency to staff the emergency organization are shown in Table 3.Each shift shall have a Shift Technical Advisor (STA). The STA will have No duties or responsibilities for manipulation of controls or command of operations during an emergency. The normal shift crew will consist of at least those positions listed as "on shift" in Table 3. There will be a licensed operator in each unit's control room at all times when fuel is in the core of theýrespective unit. There will be a Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) in the control room (shared) at all times when fuel is in either core. Shift staffing for core alterations will also include either a SRO limited to fuel handling or a SRO not assigned any duties concurrent with core alterations. Upon receiving notification of an emergency, the Emergency Director will proceed to the site. A shift communicator will coordinate the plant call list to notify those individuals of the Emergency Organization needed to meet initial activation requirements. The EOF Manager will be notified in accordance with NMP-EP-1 10, "Emergency Classification Determination and Initial Action".Criteria for the activation of the Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center and Emergency Operations Facility are shown in Table 4.66 Rev. 51

In the latter instance this shall include portable equipment assigned to the emergency.

7. Availability of trained personnel and support services.The Emergency Director will analyze the input from his advisors in the areas listed above to determine if plant restoration efforts can begin. The following criteria shall be considered appropriate for the consideration of relaxation of protective measures: 1. Plant parameters of operation no longer indicate a potential or actual emergency exists.2. The release of radioactivity from the plant is controllable and no longer exceeds permissible levels and no danger to the public from this source is credible.3. The plant is capable of sustaining itself in a long term shutdown condition.

4. Plant entry and clean-up is possible without workers receiving in excess of their permissible exposures.

Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP). The following information describes the methods used to obtain population data and to estimate evacuation times. It also reports the estimated population figures, evacuation road network information, and evacuation time estimates (ETEs).In compliance with the NRC's and Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants (NUREG-0654) guidelines, the population is broken down by protective action zone (PAZ) and by sector. 1 Three categories of population have been identified in this report: permanent residents, transient, and special facilities. The permanent resident population is made up of individuals residing in the 10-mile EPZ. The transient population consists of workers employed within the area, recreational sportsmen, and visitors to the area.IEM used PTV Vision VISUM-a computer traffic simulation model-to perform the ETE analyses. For the analyses, the 10-mile EPZ was divided into eleven geographic areas based on the four 90-degree sectors and two-mile, five-mile, and ten-mile radius rings. A total of 66 evacuation scenarios were considered as part of this study to represent different temporal and weather conditions. In order to represent the most realistic emergency scenarios, evacuations for the eleven geographic evacuation areas were modeled individually for the Weekday, Weeknight, and Weekend scenarios. Each of these scenarios was then considered under both normal and adverse weather conditions for 2010 population projections. ETEs for 2010 normal weather conditions ranged from 1 hour 15 minutes to 3 hours 5 minutes.ETEs for 2010 adverse weather conditions ranged from 1 hour 25 minutes to 3 hours 20 minutes.The factors that contributed to the variations in ETEs between scenarios include differences in the number of evacuating vehicles, the capacity of the evacuation routes used, the type of warning systems within the zones, and the distance from the origin zones to the EPZ boundary.Based on the data gathered and the results of the evacuation simulations, the existing evacuation strategy is functional for the 2010 conditions, given the lack of severe congestion or very high ETEs. The evacuation time study follows this summary.1 NRC and FEMA. Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants.

Farley Nuclear Plant, also known as Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP), is owned by Alabama Power and operated by Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC). In order to ensure the safety of the public living in the vicinity of the power plant, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires nuclear power plants in the nation to conduct evacuation studies for the population within the 10-mile radius emergency planning zone (EPZ) at regular intervals. This population evacuation study fulfills regulatory requirements outlined in the NRC's and Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants (NUREG-0654), Appendix 4.2 SNC contracted IEM to perform a population evacuation study for the 10-mile radius EPZ surrounding FNP. This appendix presents the results of that study. It describes the assumptions and methodologies used by IEM to obtain population and evacuation network data and to perform evacuation time estimates (ETE) analyses. ETEs in this evacuation study incorporate the projected population numbers for the year 2010. This appendix reports the updated population figures, evacuation road network information, and ETEs.The study is consistent with the requirements specified in Appendix 4 of NUREG-0654. When appropriate, the study uses guidance contained in NUREG/CR-6863 and NUREG/CR-6864, Volume 1,3,4 The study is intended to provide information for State, local, and FNP emergency management personnel to effectively plan for an accidental event at the plant.Site Location FNP is located on the western bank of the Chattahoochee River in the northeastern corner of Houston County, Alabama. The City of Blakely, Georgia is approximately 14 miles northeast of the plant and is the nearest significant population center from the plant. The City of Dothan, Alabama is approximately 15 miles west of the plant. Figure 1 shows the location of the FNP site.2 NRC and FEMA.

The land within the plume exposure pathway is divided by the Chattahoochee River. The FNP EPZ covers portions of Houston and Henry counties in Alabama, and Early County in Georgia. The EPZ is primarily a rural farming and lumber harvesting area. Transient population in the EPZ is minimal with the exception of recreational users along the Chattahoochee River, and hunters.NUREG-0654 recommends that the EPZ be subdivided into evacuation areas, for performing the evacuation time estimate analyses (see Table 1).5 TABLE 1: EVACUATION AREj FOR ETE ANALYSIS Approximately 2 miles Four 900 sectors Approximately 5 miles Four 90'sectors Four 90°Approximately 10 miles (EPZ) sors sectors Approximately 10 miles (EPZ) Entire EPZ The 'State of Georgia and State of Alabama Radiological Emergency Plans (REPs) define the geographical and political boundaries of the EPZ. Based on the geographic and political boundaries in the EPZ, one 0-2-mile area, four 0-5-mile areas, and four 0-10-mile areas were identified. For evacuation and emergency response planning purposes, these areas have been further divided into 19 protective action zones (PAZs).6 The zone descriptions were obtained and verified from the FNP's 2007 public outreach calendar 7 , county radiological response plans 8' and discussions with SNC and plant representatives. The zones were selected based on existing political boundaries and prominent physical features, either natural (e.g., rivers and lakes) or manmade (e.g., roads), to enhance direction and coordination of the public in the affected area.5 NUREG-0654.

Following initial notification, all persons within the EPZ will evacuate. Evacuation of the EPZ will be considered complete after all evacuating vehicles are outside the EPZ." Existing lane utilization patterns will prevail during the course of the evacuation. There will be traffic control points (TCPs) in the network to allow efficient flow of traffic toward the reception centers." Reception centers are modeled as defined in the 2007 public outreach calendar." All households having more than one vehicle will only use one automobile. This is consistent with empirical data, which indicates that family members, when possible, prefer to evacuate as a unit.9" Non-auto-owning households will evacuate with neighbors, friends, and relatives, or will be evacuated through coordinated efforts by State and county emergency management officials. This is also consistent with the 2007 public outreach calendar. For evacuation modeling purposes, it is assumed that one vehicle will be made available to evacuate each household of this population segment." To model the population evacuation during adverse weather conditions, speed limits are reduced by 40%, and road capacities are reduced by 25%. This is consistent with research that concludes that during adverse weather conditions, drivers may reduce their velocity by nearly 40%, which can result in a 25-30% reduction in capacity 1 0 Weather-related capacity reductions of 20-25% are generally used in current evacuation studies for bad weather roadway conditions." 1 Methodology IEM used PTV Vision VISUM, a computer simulation model, to perform the ETEs for the FNP site. 12 PTV Vision is the leading software suite for transportation planning and operations analyses used in more than 70 countries. Detailed information on the evacuation time analysis methodology using PTV Vision is provided in Section 0.

E-7 Rev. 49 Sources of Data The most up-to-date data sources were reviewed and analyzed to prepare appropriate input data for running the traffic simulation and providing the best ETEs. These data sources are explained below: " Population estimates were based on data obtained from Synergos Technologies, contact with individual facilities, and discussions with the SNC emergency planning staff. 13" The peak estimated employment level at the plant reflects office or operations personnel." Roadway geometric data was obtained from PTV. PTV data is based on high-quality, regularly updated, NAVTEQ street network data. NAVTEQ networks are detailed and include neighborhood streets in every community in North America. This data was validated by IEM during a "ground truthing" field trip in November 2007." Roadway and intersection approach capacities were calculated using the concepts and procedures defined in the Highway Capacity Manual.1 4" Warning diffusion and mobilization times were based on the data presented in Evaluating Protective Actions for Chemical Agent Emergencies.' 5 This data was collected during evacuations executed in response to large-scale chemical spills, and it explicitly incorporates the time required for communication of the warning (warning diffusion) and the time required for an individual to respond to the warning (mobilization). The data collected in this meta-study were based on transient, permanent, and special populations." Vehicle occupancy rates for the different population categories were derived based on average household size and discussions with the counties' and plant's emergency planning staffs.13 Synergos Technologies, Inc.

Oak Ridge, TN: Oak Ridge National Laboratory, 1990.E-8 Rev. 49 Scenarios Modeled In accordance with NUREG-0654 guidelines, ETEs for each of the evacuation areas (refer to Table 2) have been prepared for several temporal and weather conditions. Based on the discussion with the SNC emergency planning staff, estimates have been prepared for weekday normal and adverse weather conditions, weeknight normal and adverse weather conditions, and weekend normal and adverse weather conditions. Normal weather refers to conditions where roads are clear and dry and visibility is not impaired.Adverse weather refers to rainy or snowy conditions where road capacities are reduced by 25%and speed limits are reduced by 40%.Evacuation conditions are modeled for the populations of the year 2010. Table 3 presents the snapshot of the ETE scenarios that were modeled for the study.TABLE 3: ETE SCENARIOS MODELED\ >Norma IVWeather ,Adverse Weather Weekday Weekday Weeknight Weeknight Weekend Weekend The various population components for different scenarios are summarized below: " Weekday: This situation represents a typical weekday period when the workforce is at a full daytime level. Assumptions on the population levels for this condition include the following:

• Permanent residents within the EPZ will evacuate from their places of residence.
• The plant site employment is at an estimated peak daytime level.* Workplaces are fully staffed at daytime levels.* Schools are in session.* Recreational activities, such as hunting and fishing, are at daytime levels." Weeknight:

This situation reflects a typical nighttime period when the workforce is at a nighttime level. Assumptions on the population levels for this condition include the following:

• Permanent residents within the EPZ will evacuate from their places of residence.
• The plant site is staffed at an estimated peak nighttime level.* Workplaces are at nighttime levels.* Schools are closed.* There are no recreational (hunting and fishing) activities.

E-9 Rev. 49 Weekend: The weekend situation represents a daytime period when recreational activities are at peak levels. This condition would most likely occur during any weekend day during the hunting season. Assumptions on the population levels for this condition include the following:

• Permanent residents within the EPZ will evacuate from their places of residence.
• The plant site is at an estimated peak weekend level.* Workplaces are at weekend levels.* Schools are closed.* Recreational (hunting and fishing) activities are at a peak estimated level.Population-and Vehicle Demand Estimation IEM identified three population categories within the EPZ surrounding FNP, as specified in the NUREG-0654 guidelines.

These populations include the permanent resident population, the transient population, and the special facility population. The permanent resident population is made up of individuals residing in the 10-mile EPZ. The transient population is composed of individuals working and/or visiting within the EPZ but not living there. For instance, the transient population consists of workers employed within the area, recreational sportsmen, and visitors to the area. Special facility populations may require additional consideration in the event of an evacuation. For the purpose of this study, only special facilities holding populations of more than fifty people are considered under the special facility category. Facilities with less than fifty people are considered under the transient population category.FNP is located in a rural area of Alabama. There are no concentrated population centers, and there is minimal transient population with in the 10-mile EPZ. There are several types of special facilities within the EPZ, including seven schools and five major employers including the plant itself. The majority of the population consists of permanent residents and workers.IEM derived the 2010 permanent population estimates from 2007 third-quarter population estimates and the 2012 population forecast obtained from Synergos Technologies, Inc. Local school data was obtained through contact with individual facilities. The recreational visitors'population figures were based on discussions with the FNP's emergency planning staff, and staff contact with individual parks. After discussion with the appropriate facilities and the site emergency planning personnel, it was estimated that the 2007 school and recreational user information applies to the year 2010 since no major change in the land use patterns within the EPZ is expected in the next three years. These population estimates formed the basis for determining the evacuee demand used in the analysis for any given evacuation scenario. The populations from these sources were assigned to each applicable zone.E-1I0 Rev. 49 Permanent Residents IEM used GIS software to process the geographic data and associated population counts for census blocks in each of the counties surrounding FNP. IEM then aggregated these populations over each zone to generate a permanent resident population count, which comprises the nighttime population. To calculate population by each zone and radial sector, census block population was aggregated within each of the sectors. Since boundaries of the sectors do not follow census block boundaries, many of the blocks had to be divided into sub-areas based on sector boundaries. To do this, IEM overlaid the census blocks with the zones and 10-mile radius sectors. The blocks were then split into sub-areas and the block population was allocated to sub-areas based on an area ratio method. The populations of the block sub-areas within the sector boundaries were then aggregated for each radius sector.The area ratio method assigns each sub-area a portion of the block population based on the ratio of the area of each block part to the area of the entire block. For example, if a particular sub-area contains one-fourth the area of the total block area, the sub-area receives one-fourth of the block's total population. Figure 3 illustrates this principle, in which one-fourth of the total area is located in the sub-area, which includes one-fourth of the population. The area ratio method assumes that the population within the block is evenly distributed, a reasonable assumption in most cases.E-1 1 Rev. 49 FIGURE 3: AN EXAMPLE OF THE AREA RATIO METHOD APPLIED TO A CENSUS BLOCK DIVIDED INTO SUB-AREAS E-1 2 Rev. 49 The populations of the block sub-areas within the sector boundaries were then aggregated for each sector. This method was also used in the few instances in which the zone boundaries did not follow block boundaries, making it necessary to split blocks along a particular zone boundary.Additionally, the permanent resident population is divided into auto-owning and non-auto-owning populations. Auto-Owning Population It was assumed that one vehicle would evacuate from each permanent resident household. This assumption is consistent with the research indicating the tendency of evacuees to evacuate, where possible, as a family unit. 16 The population projections and estimates indicate that 92% of the households within the EPZ have at least one vehicle. The data also indicates an average household size of 2.5 persons for the FNP EPZ.Non-Auto-Owning Population The population projections and estimates indicate that 8% of the households within the EPZ do not own a vehicle. It is assumed that privately-owned vehicles of friends and/or relatives will be available to evacuate this population component. This assumption is used since it provides the most realistic representation of evacuation traffic generated from the non-auto-owning households. For an estimate of the vehicle demand associated with the non-auto-owning population, IEM assumed one vehicle would be made available to evacuate each household. This is based on the previously-stated assumptions that a family would use a vehicle from neighbors, friends, and relatives, or will be evacuated through coordinated efforts by county emergency management officials. 1 7 Table 4 shows the distribution of the 2010 total permanent resident population by sector and ring, while Figure 4 presents the same data graphically.

The employment data was obtained from Synergos. These populations were combined with other contributors, such as the percentage of the population that is of working age, to daytime population estimations and assigned to population centroids in a manner similar to the permanent resident populations. The daytime populations incorporate employment and workforce information, such as county working-age population and unemployment statistics. The recreational population shown for the FNP site considers users of parks and waterways, primarily boaters on the Chattahoochee River. Through conversations with FNP's emergency planning staff and with staff from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Mobile office, IEM estimated there will be approximately 120 hunters/boaters throughout the EPZ on weekdays during the hunting season and approximately 575 hunters/boaters on peak weekends during the hunting season. In addition, there will be approximately 20 picnickers /campers at parks during the weekdays, and 90 picnickers/campers on the weekends.A vehicle occupancy rate of 1.5 was used to estimate the number of vehicles used by recreational area users, such as hunters and fishermen.

A vehicle occupancy rate of 1.1 was used to estimate the number of vehicles to be evacuated by the FNP onsite population, as was discussed with SNC and plant emergency planning staff. After consultation with SNC emergency planners, students were assumed to evacuate via buses at a rate of 52 students per bus, with the remaining school population departing mostly in their own cars (occupancy rate of 1.25).

Additional information regarding the evacuation routes was obtained from the past ETE report for the FNP site and the county radiological emergency response plans. The maps and descriptions in both documents were used by IEM as the basis of network verification activity. IEM personnel also met with the FNP emergency response planning staff regarding additional information and clarifications. The public outreach calendar included a detailed description of the evacuation routes for both the Alabama and Georgia sides within a 10-mile radius. It provided descriptive information on recommended protective actions and the names and locations of reception centers for each zone. The map in the calendar clearly marked the evacuation routes and the direction of evacuation towards the respective reception centers. The reception centers are located well beyond the 10-mile EPZ.IEM personnel drove along the designated evacuation routes in the direction of an evacuation, and all the way to the reception centers to collect complete and accurate information about the physical state of the roads. Any differences between information indicated in the calendar, NAVTEQ data, and existing field conditions were noted and, where necessary, were incorporated into the analyses. Figure 9 shows the entire evacuation network.E-31 Rev. 49 FIGURE 9: FNP EVACUATION NETWORK WITH RECEPTION CENTERS E-32 Rev. 49 Network Definition IEM performed a complete review of the evacuation roadway network. The evacuation network was developed using published evacuation routes and GIS road network data representing roads available from NAVTEQ 2 1 and the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT).2 2 The high accuracy NAVTEQ street network GIS data, obtained for the PTV Vision simulation software, was used for field validation purposes and to build the digital evacuation network database. The GDOT data was used to supplement the NAVTEQ data where required. To ensure the accuracy of this data, the entire evacuation network, including those roads outside the 10-mile EPZ leading to the reception centers, was verified by traveling each route in the network in the direction of evacuation and collecting detailed information regarding the properties of each road section using a Global Positioning System (GPS)-enabled device. The GPS allowed IEM personnel to locate-with a high degree of precision-any sections that had changed in channelization, curvature, speed limits, or other necessary network information. The specific network attributes that were collected during the field trip included number of lanes, speed, turns, traffic controls, pavement type and width, shoulder width, and any other information required to model the traffic capacity of each link in the network.Evacuation Route Descriptions The evacuation network modeled for the ETE analyses covers Henry and Houston counties in Alabama, and Early County in Georgia. The evacuation routes were originally developed by the Alabama and Georgia Emergency Management Agencies and county emergency officials. The evacuation route network is composed of three kinds of roads: highways, major arterial (roads connecting to highways), and minor arterial or connector roads (residential roads connecting to major arterial roads).An example of a highway in the EPZ is United States Highway 84 (US-84). Examples of major arterials are Alabama State Road 95 (AL-95), Alabama State Road 52 (AL-52), Georgia State Road 62 (SR-62), and Georgia State Road 370 (SR-370). An example of a connector road is Bill Yance Road in Alabama. The connector roads, although not part of the evacuation routes described in the calendar, actually load the evacuee population onto the evacuation routes. The following items are descriptions of each evacuation route as mentioned in the calendar (see also Figure 10 and Figure 11).21 PTV America, Inc. "NAVTEQ Data for PTV VISION."

TABLE 11: RECEPTION CENTERS Reception Center Address 1701 E Cottonwood Houston County Farm Center Road Dothan, AL 36301 12020 Columbia Street Early County High School Caly b GAr982 Blakely, GA 39823 Evacuation Network Characteristics The evacuation network, as modeled using the NAVTEQ street network data, contains 1,077 links in the direction of evacuation and includes the connector roads.23 The total length of the network, again in the direction of evacuation and all the way to the reception centers, is about 454 miles. Detailed information regarding the roads that make up the evacuation network is provided in Appendix B.The highways generally have a posted speed limit of 50-65 mph. The major and minor arterial or connector roads generally have a posted speed limit of 35-45 mph. On some of the roads, especially the highways, the posted speed limit decreases to 25 mph near city limit boundaries. Unpaved roads or dirt roads do not have posted speed limits, so a speed limit of 20-25 mph was assumed for modeling purposes based on comfortable and safe driving speeds achieved by IEM personnel on these roads during field verification. Most of the links in the evacuation network (including some highways) generally have one lane available in the direction of evacuation. There are no interstates within the 10-mile EPZ. Two roads in the EPZ have network links with two lanes in the direction of evacuation-US-84 west towards Ross Clark Circle in Dothan, Alabama, and US-84 east toward Jakin, Georgia. AL-52 and GA SR-62 also have two lanes in the direction of evacuation along some sections (due to the presence of passing lanes). US-84 has three lanes available in the direction of evacuation as it approaches Ross Clark Circle in Dothan..23 A link is defined as a road section where its characteristics (e.g., speed limit, number of lanes) are constant. An intersection starts a new link or ends a link.E-36 Rev. 49 Traffic control along the evacuation routes is mostly managed using stop signs. In Alabama, traffic lights were found along AL-95 (approaching center of Columbia), along AL-52 (approaching Dothan), along Ross Clark Circle (in Dothan), at the intersection of Broadway and Old US-84 (in Ashford), and along US-84 (approaching Dothan). In Georgia, a traffic light was found at the intersection of Church Street and Columbia Road in Blakely.Evacuation Time Esiae Moho2!ETEs are developed using VISUM, one of the core components of the PTV Vision software suite.VISUM is used to estimate evacuation times for different scenarios (e.g., day vs. night or normal vs. adverse weather) for user-defined spatial networks. Information provided by PTV Vision includes evacuation or clearance times, operational characteristics (e.g., average evacuation speed, average distance traveled), points of congestion, and other data necessary to evaluate evacuation plans.The evacuation network was defined based on the information provided in 2007 public outreach calendar. IEM Subject Matter Experts drove the designated routes to ensure complete and accurate information about the state of the roads and to evaluate the appropriate selection of routes given the current conditions onsite.Population (number of cars) loaded onto the network is based on the data and methods described above in the Section 0. Loading times for the evacuation network are described below.Additional details about the methodology are included in the following sections.Assumptions Key assumptions that have a substantial impact on the results of the analysis are detailed in the following sections. Any assumptions associated with the development of population estimates are included in Section 0.Loadinq of the Evacuation Network The timing of network loading24 is derived from data presented in Evaluating Protective Actions for Chemical Agent Emergencies.25 This data was collected during evacuations executed in response to large-scale chemical spills and explicitly incorporates the time required for communication of the warning (warning diffusion) and the time required for an individual to respond to the warning (mobilization). The data collected in this meta-study was based on transient, permanent, and special populations and is therefore appropriate to use as "general" warning diffusion and public mobilization curves for all three population types.The underlying assumption regarding the applicability of Rogers' mobilization curves in the ETE study is that public perception of radiological emergencies differs from the actual characteristic of such an event. The familiarity of the hazard and the social assessment of the risks associated with the hazards are among the underlying forces that guide the decision-making process in an evacuation scenario. People are more likely to respond to calls for evacuation when the assessment of threat in the community is high and dangers to life and property are recognized. The reality may be different. The alarm associated with social response in a radiological emergency makes the use of Rogers' mobilization curves prudent for the ETE study.24 Loading is defined as the appearance of evacuating vehicles on the roads.25 Rogers, G. 0., et al., Evaluating Protective Actions for Chemical Agent Emergencies (ORNL-6615), Oak Ridge, TN: Oak Ridge National Laboratory, 1990.E-37 Rev. 49 It should also be noted that these curves were developed from the empirical data collected from real-life evacuations in response to actual events. No similar study developed specifically for radiological events is readily available. Therefore, the widely accepted Rogers' mobilization curves were used for this study. The implications of assuming public behavior in absence of real data are unknown. Actual data taken from a somewhat similar real-life scenario and similar public response is more applicable than some manufactured assumptions about how people will behave.The specific timing used for warning diffusion is detailed in Figure 12. Since the distribution of times depends on the warning system employed, the alert and notification systems (ANS) around the site were evaluated based on the description in the emergency plans. The warning diffusion time distribution was chosen based on the availability of sirens, tone alert radios (TARs), and the emergency alert system (EAS) in the EPZ. It was also assumed that in boating and recreational areas, local emergency officials will sound sirens and/or use loud speakers to warn visitors. Any deviations from this assumption will impact the evacuation times. For example, any loss of the capability of the ANS components will potentially increase the evacuation times. For example, Figure 12 shows that if only EAS is used, the evacuation times will be longer since it takes comparatively more time for warning to diffuse.The mobilization curve (Figure 13) is combined with the warning diffusion curve to form a composite loading curve that reflects the actual time distribution of cars loaded on the network.It is important to note that the starting point for this curve is the time at which public notification begins-not the start time of a hypothetical event.E-38 Rev. 49 100%90% -A ------80% -A -70% ,- r->/60% °4)S50%.2 0CL 40% , I." 6 0% " 50% .-i---,-_0'I- A 0%20 20%--4----TARS, 'Siren & EAS 10%- _____ --U-Siren & EAS 0% ý-7*- E AS 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 Minutes from Warning Start FIGURE 12: WARNING DIFFUSION FOR SELECTED NOTIFICATION SYSTEMS26 26 Ibid.E-39 Rev. 49 100%90% _80%70% -0 2 60%50%040%/20%0% 0 2 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 Minutes from Warning Received.FIGURE 13: POPULATION MOBILIZATION TIMES27 27 Ibid.E-40 Rev. 49 Evacuation Simulation Evacuations were simulated using the population and vehicle demand data, evacuation network data, and loading distribution data discussed in the previous sections. VISUM was used to simulate evacuations. Figure 14 describes the framework of the analysis and three of its main features: the demand model, the network model, and the impact model.FIGURE 14: ETES ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK USING VISUM The Demand Model The demand model contains the travel demand data. The total number of vehicles originating from a zone is calculated by dividing a population with its expected vehicle occupancy rate. The total number of vehicles originating from a zone is then distributed to different time intervals based on the loading distribution curve for the zone. The loading distribution curve for the zone depends on the warning system available for that zone. The travel demand is described by an origin-destination (OD) matrix. The OD matrix refers to a time interval and the total number of vehicles departing in that time interval.The Network Model The network model describes the relevant supply data of an evacuation network. The supply data consists of traffic zones, nodes, links, speed limits, and capacities. Traffic zones describe areas with particular boundaries based on demography, topography, land characteristics, access routes, and local jurisdictions. They represent the origin and destination of trips within the evacuation network. Nodes define positions of intersections in the evacuation network. Links connect nodes and, therefore, describe the road infrastructure. Every network object is described by its attributes (e.g., speed limits and capacities for the links). The travel time of a vehicle on a given link depends on the speed permitted on and the capacity of-the traffic volume that a road can handle before the formation of a jam-the link. The capacity calculations in the analysis are based on the Transportation Research Board's Highway Capacity Manual.28 The Impact Model The impact model takes its input data from the demand model and the network model. PTV Vision provides different impact models to analyze and evaluate the evacuation network. A user model simulates the behavior of travelers. It calculates traffic volumes and service indicators, such as travel time. VISUM traffic assignment procedure chosen for this analysis simulates movement of vehicles on the network as time passes in the evacuation, and outputs volumes for each link at each time after analyzing the queuing behavior. This time-dynamic functionality allows for loading of the network via distributions, as when using a range of mobilization times.The ETE is measured by noting when the last car passes the boundary of the EPZ. VISUM displays the calculated results in graphic and tabular forms and allows graphical analysis of results. In this way, for example, routes per OD pair, traffic flow, and isochrones can be displayed and analyzed.28 Transportation Research Board, National Research Council. Highway Capacity Manual. Washington, D.C. 2000.E-41 Rev. 49 Evacuation times were estimated in order to give emergency planners in the area an approximate time required for evacuation of various parts of the footprint. The estimates were derived by using population (demand) data to determine the number of vehicles and then modeling the travel of the vehicles along the evacuation routes from their origin to their assigned reception center.The evacuation time estimates are composed of two components. The first is loading time, which is the time required for residents within the area to prepare and then begin their evacuation. The second is travel time, which is the time between the residents' departure and when they cross the EPZ boundary. Loading time depends, in part, on how long it takes residents to receive the warning, and is thus dependent on the warning systems in their area.As a part of the analysis, zones in the study area were grouped into scenarios to represent the different areas that might need to be evacuated during an incident. So that planners could more effectively order evacuations, scenarios were based on zones and potential wind direction. These scenarios are discussed in more detail in Section 0.Each zone had been assigned a set of evacuation routes by State and local EMA planners, and these route restrictions were reflected in the modeling of the scenarios. These guidelines generally route evacuees based on the county where these are located at the time of the incident.The evacuation routes are described in more detail in Section 0.Summary of ETE Results The evacuation time estimate results are displayed in Table 12. Evacuation times listed include warning diffusion, public mobilization, and travel time out of the EPZ. It is important to note that the evacuation time is the time from the moment at which public notification begins-not the start time of a hypothetical event.E-42 Rev. 49 0-2 Miles A 80 75 75 90 85 85 0-2 Miles A 80 75 75 90 85 85 0-5 Miles, SW 0-5 Miles, NW 0-5 Miles, NE 0-5 Miles, SE A, B-5, C-5, D-5, A, E-5, F-5 A, 1-5 A, J-5, K-5 140 155 145 130 105 155 95 120 165 175 160 135 150 165 150 140 110 160 100 135 175 185 165 150 0-5 Miles A, B-5, C-5, D-5, E-5, F-5, 1-5, J-5, K- 160 155 180 170 160 190 5 0-10 Miles, SW A, B-5, C-5, D-5, B-10, C-10, D-10 155 140 170 170 155 185 0-10 Miles, NW A, E-5, F-5, E-IO, F-10 155 155 175 165 160 185 0-10 Miles, NE A, 1-5, G-10, H-10, 1-10 145 115 165 150 120 170 0-10 Miles, SE A, J-5, K-5, J-10, K-10 150 130 170 165 140 185 0-10 Miles, Full All Zones 175 155 185 195 170 200 EPZ 29 Note: The scenarios are each considered individually; if combinations of the geographic evacuation areas are to be evacuated together, the larger of the two numbers should be used as the evacuation time. For example, if zones E-5, F-5, J-5, and K-5 (combination of 5-mile NW and 5-mile SE scenarios) were to be evacuated on a normal 2010 weekday, the ETE would be the greater of the two ETEs or 155 minutes.E-43 Rev. 49 Discussion of Scenario Results General Trends u The ETEs in both normal and adverse weather are driven more by the warning system and available speeds rather than the roadway capacities because vehicular demand is low compared to available roadway capacities." Adverse weather conditions increase ETEs by approximately 5 to 20 minutes, due primarily to reduced travelling speeds, and to a lesser degree, to reduced roadway capacities." For each evacuation area except for the two-mile radius, the weekend scenario produced the highest evacuation times. This is due to the increased amount of recreational transients in the area (hunters and boaters and park visitors) on the weekend. This population has a higher warning and diffusion time than other populations-up to 3 hours 5 minutes, compared to 2 hours 30 minutes for EAS and sirens, and 2 hours 5 minutes for EAS and TARs.Evacuation Area 1: 0-2 Miles The majority of the population within the two-mile radius, Zone A, consists of Plant Farley employees. This population will evacuate to the Houston/Henry County Evacuation Center in Alabama, primarily using Pleasant Grove Road to US-84.There is also a small amount of permanent population, transient employees, and recreational hunters in the area. These populations will primarily use SR 370 to SR 62 to exit the EPZ for the Early County reception center in Georgia, and US-84 to exit the EPZ to Houston and Henry counties in Alabama. The evacuation times range from 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. The highest evacuation times are for the Weekday Scenario, when the Plant population is at its peak. No significant congestion occurs in this scenario.Evacuation Area 2: 0-5 Miles SW This evacuation area includes all population in the two-mile radius (Zone A), and additional population in the five-mile radius in Houston County west of the Chattahoochee River and south of Nuclear Plant Road/Edsel Deese Road (Zones B-5, C-5 and D-5). This population includes permanent residents, transient employees, Plant Farley employees, recreational visitors to the Chattahoochee River, and hunters. There are no special facilities in this evacuation area. The population evacuating this area will primarily use US-84 to leave the 10-mile EPZ. The small population that will evacuate to the Early County reception center will primarily use State Route 370 to State Route 62 to exit the EPZ. The evacuation times range from 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes and are highest for the Weekend Scenario. These times are driven by warning and diffusion times and are not influenced by significant congestion. E.-44 Rev. 49 Evacuation Area 3: 0-5 Miles NW This evacuation area includes all population in the two-mile radius (Zone A), and additional population in Houston County in the five-mile radius west of the Chattahoochee River and north of Nuclear Plant Road/Edsel Deese Road (Zones E-5 and F-5). This population includes permanent residents, transient employees, Plant Farley employees, recreational park visitors, and hunters. This area also includes two special facilities: a day care center and Houston County High School. The population evacuating this area will primarily use Alabama Highway 52 and US-84 to leave the 10-mile EPZ. The small population that will evacuate to the Early County reception center will primarily use State Route 370 to State Route 62 to exit the EPZ. The evacuation times range from 2 hour 35 minutes to 3 hours 5 minutes and are highest for the Weekend Scenario. These times are driven by warning and diffusion times and are not influenced by significant congestion. Evacuation Area 4: 0-5 Miles NE This evacuation area includes all population in the two-mile radius (Zone A), and additional population in Early County east of the Chattahoochee River in Zone 1-5. The population includes permanent residents, transient employees, Plant Farley employees, recreational visitors to the Chattahoochee River, hunters, and special facility workers. The population evacuating to the Houston/Henry County reception center will primarily use Pleasant Grove Road to US-84 to exit the EPZ. The population evacuating to the Early County reception-center will primarily use State Route 62 to exit the EPZ. The evacuation times range from 1 hour 35 minutes to 2 hours 5 minutes and are highest for the Weekend Scenario. These times are driven by warning and diffusion times and are not influenced by significant congestion. Evacuation Area 5: 0-5 Miles SE This evacuation area includes all population in the two-mile radius (Zone A), and additional population in Early County east of the Chattahoochee River in Zones J-5 and K-5. The population includes permanent residents, transient employees, Plant Farley employees, hunters, and special facility workers. The population evacuating to the Houston/Henry County reception center will primarily use Pleasant Grove Road to US-84 to exit the EPZ. The population evacuating to the Early County reception center will primarily use State Route 273, State Route 370, Cedar Springs Highway, and State Route 62 to exit the EPZ. The evacuation times range from 2 hours 0 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes and are highest for the Weekend Scenario. These times are driven by the warning and diffusion times and are not influenced by significant congestion. Evacuation Area 6: 0-5 Miles This area includes the entire five-mile EPZ, consisting of zones A, B-5, C-5, D-5, E-5, F-5, 1-5, J-5 and K-5.The evacuation times for the entire 5-mile EPZ are similar to the maximum evacuation times by sector for each scenario. The evacuation routes for the entire 5-mile radius were similar to those for each sector. The evacuation times ranged from 2 hours 35 minutes to 3 hours 10 minutes. For each scenario (Weekday, Weeknight, and Weekend), the evacuation times for the overall five-mile EPZ were 0-5 minutes higher than the highest time for each sector. This indicates that there will not be excess congestion from adjacent sectors evacuating together.E-45 Rev. 49 Evacuation Area 7: 0-10 Miles SW This evacuation area includes all population in the five-mile SW radius (Zones A, B-5, C-5 and D-5), and additional population in the 10-mile radius in Houston County west of the Chattahoochee River and south of Nuclear Plant Road/Edsel Deese Road (Zones B-10, C-10 and D-10). This population includes permanent residents, transient employees, Plant Farley employees, recreational visitors to the Chattahoochee River, and hunters. The area includes a day care, Ashford Elementary School, Ashford High School, Houston County, Career and Technical Center, Ashford Academy, and several other special facilities. The population evacuating this area will primarily use Alabama Highway 52 and US-84 to leave the 10 mile EPZ. The small population that will evacuate to the Early County reception center will primarily use State Route 370 to State Route 62 to exit the EPZ. The evacuation times range from 2 hours 20 minutes to 3 hours 5 minutes and are highest for the Weekend Scenario. These times are driven by warning and diffusion times and are not influenced by significant congestion. Evacuation Area 8: 0-10 Miles NW This evacuation area includes all population in the five-mile NW radius (Zones A, E-5 and F-5), and additional population in Houston and Henry counties in the 10-mile radius west of the Chattahoochee River and north of Nuclear Plant Road/Edsel Deese Road (Zones E-1 0 and F-10). This population includes permanent residents, transient employees, Plant Farley employees, recreational park visitors, and hunters. This area also includes three special facilities: a day care center, Houston County High School, and Webb Elementary School. The population evacuating this area will primarily use Alabama Highway 52 and US-84 to leave the 10-mile EPZ. The small population that will evacuate to the Early County reception center will primarily use State Route 370 to State Route 62 to exit the EPZ. The evacuation times range from 2 hours 35 minutes to 3 hours 5 minutes and are highest for the Weekend Scenario. These times are driven by warning and diffusion times and are not influenced by significant congestion. Evacuation Area 9: 0-10 Miles NE This evacuation area includes all population in the five-mile NE radius (Zones A and 1-5), and additional population in Early County east of the Chattahoochee River in Zones G-10, H-10 and I-10. The population includes permanent residents, transient employees, Plant Farley employees, recreational visitors to the Chattahoochee River, recreational park visitors, hunters, special facility workers, and Camp E-Tu-Nake school. The population evacuating to the Houston/Henry County reception center will primarily use US-84 to exit the EPZ. The population evacuating to the Early County reception center will primarily use State Route 62 to exit the EPZ. The evacuation times range from 1 hour 55 minutes to 2 hours 50 minutes and are highest for the Weekend Scenario. These times are driven by warning and diffusion times and are not influenced by significant congestion. E-46 Rev. 49 Evacuation Area 10: 0-10 Miles SE This evacuation area includes all population in the five-mile SE radius (Zones A, J-5 and K-5), and additional population in Early County east of the Chattahoochee River in Zones J-10 and K-10. The population includes permanent residents, transient employees, Plant Farley employees, recreational visitors to the Chattahoochee River, recreational park visitors, hunters, and special facility workers. The population evacuating to the Houston/Henry County reception center will primarily use US-84 to exit the EPZ. The population evacuating to the Early County reception center will prim'arily use Cedar Springs Highway, State Route 39, Ades Springs Road and State Route 62 to exit the EPZ.Evacuation Area 11: 0-10 Miles The evacuation time of the entire 10-mile EPZ was similar to the evacuations of the separate 10-mile 900 areas. For all scenarios, the 10-mile radius evacuation times were 0-20 minutes longer than the highest individual sector times. These times show that as traffic from each 900 area merges, congestion in the network will not significantly contribute to increased evacuation time.Some routes such as Ross Clark Circle, US-84 and Alabama Highway 52 (leading to Houston/Henry County reception center), and State Route 62 leading to Early County reception center may experience some congestion as the volumes reach levels that are near the capacity of the road.E-47 Rev. 49 The analyses related to confirmation of evacuation and potential mitigating measures to effectively manage the traffic flow were performed and are provided in the following sections.Confirmation of Evacuation Confirmation of the evacuation process determines whether the evacuation has been completed. The time required for confirmation of evacuation is dependent upon the method employed. The most time-consuming method typically employed is to use ground vehicles. The time required involves the driving time for each route selected.Informing people to leave some standard signs on their doors or windows, such as tying a white cloth to the front doorknob of the house or to the mailbox (as mentioned in the public outreach calendar), when they leave their houses would help the authorities in the confirmation of evacuation. Presence of TCPs and Access Control Points (ACPs) at strategic locations within the evacuation network could provide real-time feedback regarding the progress of the evacuation process. All evacuees are recommended to register at the designated county reception centers as they arrive. This procedure helps the authorities to account for the population within the designated county. This can be accounted as one of the means of confirmation of evacuation only under the assumption that all the evacuees would actually report to the reception centers and nowhere else. Telephoning people at their homes could also be considered as a possible means of ensuring completion of evacuation. As noted in the county radiological emergency response plans, evacuation confirmation will be accomplished by the county Sheriffs Department and supporting law enforcement agency personnel, who will traverse roadways throughout the affected area to ensure that the residential population has evacuated their homes. Personnel from the State Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Section and the county Emergency Management Agency will ensure that hunters and fishermen within the 10-mile EPZ are evacuated. Additional assistance is available from other State agencies. Officials from the plant will advise the county EOCs when evacuation is confirmed at the plant site.The actual time associated with the confirmation process would depend on both the number of personnel and the amount of equipment available. These resources may change significantly under various emergency conditions. Evacuation Traffic Management Locations and Other Potential Mitigatingq Measures In order to efficiently promote smooth movement of traffic flow during an evacuation, several TCPs have been identified by the plant and county emergency response planning personnel. These TCPs are listed in Table 13 and shown graphically in Figure 15. The responsibility of supervising traffic controls during an evacuation will be shared between State and county emergency management and law enforcement personnel, as available. Each TCP will be manned and/or road blocks will be established to direct evacuees out of the EPZ and to deny access into the affected area. Also, route markers will be placed along the evacuation routes at critical intersections and road block locations to promote more efficient traffic flow out from the EPZ.E-48 Rev. 49 TABLE 13: TRAFFIC CONTROL POINTS FOR THE FNP EPZ Location ID 1 2 3 Description 3840 E.

Variations in ETEs between scenarios generally correlated to differences in the number of evacuating vehicles, the capacity of the evacuation routes, the roadway conditions, or the distance from the origin zones to the EPZ boundary. The weekend scenario produced the highest evacuation times due to the longer mobilization time for the higher number of recreational transients in the area (hunters and boaters) on the weekend.The analysis shows that the capacity of the roadway network within the EPZ is adequate to accommodate the population for all scenarios. Based on the data gathered and the results of the evacuation study conducted, IEM believes that the existing evacuation strategy is functional for the year 2010 conditions, given the lack of severe congestion or very high ETEs.E-53 Rev. 49 Appendix A: Geographical Boundaries of Evacuation Zones A-AL A-GA North: Hunter Road, then line due east to Chattahoochee River West: Macedonia Road and

G-i Rev. 41 A. INTRODUCTION A.1 PURPOSE The purpose of this appendix is to outline the function of the Emergency Operations Facility for the Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC).Additionally, this appendix delineates the actions to be taken by SNC Corporate Staff in the event of an emergency at any (SNC) site.A.2 SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY This appendix provides the framework for operations of the EOF for SNC. This appendix is an integral part of the site specific emergency plan(s).This appendix may be implemented to coordinate a SNC response to an emergency at any SNC facility or in response to a transportation accident involving radioactive material.Additionally, this appendix provides the mechanism for obtaining and providing additional emergency response support and resources to SNC site(s) in the event of an emergency. The SNC Corporate Staff will be responsible for offsite emergency response support and resources as requested. Overall management of the emergency will be accomplished at the specific site(s)[Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP), Hatch Nuclear Plant (HNP)and Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP)].A.3

SUMMARY

The site specific Emergency Plan, is activated by the Emergency Director (ED).Upon notification of an ALERT or higher classification or as directed by the ED, the EOF will be activated as described in emergency implementing procedures. When notified, the designated corporate emergency organization management report to the EOF to be briefed on current conditions and perform their assigned tasks.Each manager's support staff will operate from that group's office area. Offsite support personnel and equipment will be dispatched to the site Operations Support Center (OSC) or Technical Support Center (TSC)upon request from the specific site Emergency Director. The corporate emergency organization will provide offsite emergency response support and resources to SNC sites 24 hours per day until the emergency has been terminated. The EOF will be activated for an ALERT, SITE AREA or GENERAL emergency classification. This facility will be operational within about an hour of the initial notification. SNC's goal is to begin notification of all required on-call Emergency Response Organization (ERO) personnel as soon as practicable, within 15 minutes, following the declaration of an Alert emergency or higher emergency classification at any SNC site. Minimum EOF staff for facility activation will include the EOF Manager, the Dose Assessment Supervisor, the Dose Analyst, the Field Team Coordinator, the ENN Communicator, and the Licensing Support Coordinator. Access control for the EOF is established through the use of electronic card readers.G-1 Rev. 41 During the emergency, the emergency director will normally be located in either the TSC or Control Room at his/her option. The emergency director is responsible for the management of the emergency response. Specific duties and responsibilities are provided in the site specific Emergency Plan and Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. SNC has taken precautions to ensure that the EOF can be quickly accessed and made operational within about an hour of the initial notification and is safe-guarded against unauthorized personnel. The common EOF is located in a secure building. The building itself has posted security guards and video surveillance cameras. Any outside doors that do not have security guards are accessible only by SNC ID badges. Additionally, the EOF facility door is accessible only to people with ID badges that have been pre-approved for access. If an event were to occur during off-normal hours, a guard will be posted at the main entrance to Building 40 to allow access to offsite agency or other responders without pre-designated ID access.B. EOF ORGANIZATION The EOF Organization consists of selected management and staff members located in the SNC Corporate Office. This organization is responsible for providing offsite emergency response support and resources, as needed. The EOF Organization is displayed in Figure 1 and typical duty assignments are shown on Table 1. This organization may be supplemented or reduced by the EOF Manager, as required, to respond to the specific emergency situation but will not be reduced to below the minimum staff as specified in A.3 above.SNC normally maintains ERO positions in a duty rotation. Several positions have been designated as plant specific and, as such, have personnel designated for each of the 3 sites. Specifically each of the following EOF positions has site-specific personnel designated: E EOF Manager G-2 Rev. 41 a EOF Technical Supervisor In order to augment additional staff that may be needed in the unlikely event of a multi-site accident, SNC will re-activate its ERO notification system. When the EOF is activated, all EOF staff pagers are activated, and all EOF personnel are expected to report to the EOF. Personnel that are not needed to augment positions are briefed and dismissed with a stand-by status.B.1 EMERGENCY OPERATIONS FACILITY (EOF) MANAGER The EOF Manager manages the foltowind activities:

EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT Following the declaration of an emergency, response activity will be coordinated at a number of facilities.

These emergency response facilities are described in the site specific emergency plans. The EOF is a common facility for all SNC sites and is described in this section.D.1 EOF DESCRIPTION The EOF is the central location for management of the offsite emergency response, coordination of radiological assessment, and management of initial recovery operations. The EOF is located in Birmingham, Alabama and serves as the EOF for all SNC sites (VEGP, FNP, and HNP). The EOF will be activated as prescribed in the site specific Emergency Plan implementing procedures. From the EOF, SNC corporate management personnel assist the states and other governmental bodies by communicating protective action recommendations approved by the Emergency Director to ensure public health and safety. Plant systems information, radiological data, and meteorological data are provided via the SNC Integrated Data Display System to EOF personnel as needed to: assess environmental conditions, coordinate radiological monitoring activities, and recommend implementation of offsite emergency plans. Data displays provide periodic and timely conditions of the affected plant and periodic and timely assessment of radiological conditions in the plant environs.The SNC integrated data display system utilizes data provided by the plant specific data links. These station data links are described in each site specific plan. These displays may be either manual or electronic. Data displays are located in the main caucus area of the EOF, dose assessment area, plant status area, and engineering area within the facility. Other displays may be located in the command center area. Data is also available to all state agencies responding to the EOF. Data is available both in the main caucus area and the area designated for the particular state agency. Similarly, this data is available to state and local authorities via a secure network dedicated to data distribution among the various offsite emergency response facilities. The data display system provides the user with a "master view" for the monitoring of multiple site events simultaneously. Data required to support EOF operations is provided by an extensive ring bus transport network. Data may also be obtained manually via telephone from the Control Room and the TSC to the EOF.G-1 1 Rev. 41 Contained within the facility will be the manpower and equipment necessary to provide dedicated direct communication links to the plant site(s). In addition, there are commercial and company wide phone systems to and from the site(s).A communication link will be established and maintained between the Emergency Operations Facility and the Technical Support Center (TSC) until the emergency director determines that the communication link is no longer needed.Other communications equipment accessible to the EOF includes Nuclear Network (an intra-industry computer-based information exchange network), telecopiers, and computer workstations designated for emergency use.Computer workstations are dedicated for performing dose assessment for multiple sites.The EOF is the distribution center for all field data and sample analyses. This information will be available to county, State, and Federal representatives. The EOF is sized to accommodate 35 persons, including 25 pre-designated persons, 9 persons from the NRC, and 1 person from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Provisions have also been made for the relocation of NRC staff (including NRC communications capabilities) from the EOF to a near-site location, if requested. It is anticipated that representatives from the state(s) of Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Florida will be dispatched to the EOF for an event at specific SNC site(s). The EOF has been designed to accommodate these representatives. Agreements exist between the appropriate State agencies and SNC to ensure rapid response of state personnel dispatched to the EOF. Table 4 provides additional information concerning EOF communications capabilities. Upon activation of the EOF, Corporate personnel will provide staffing 24 hours per day until directed otherwise by the Emergency Director.The emergency director, located at the affected site(s), is responsible for the management of the emergency response. Specific duties and responsibilities are provided in the site specific Emergency. The EOF consists of several rooms, as shown, together with the location of key personnel, in Figure 2. The EOF is a dedicated facility. The designated emergency planning coordinator for each of the three sites maintains an office within the EOF to ensure readiness and daily operability. Based on the physical location of the EOF, specialized ventilation systems are not required. The EOF ventilation system is consistent in design with G-12 Rev. 41 standard building codes. Similarly, EOF functions would not be interrupted by radiation releases from any SNC site.Normal power to the EOF is from a reliable offsite source. Emergency lighting is provided by battery operated lights. Back-up power for the EOF is supplied by onsite diesel generation. All essential equipment is backed up by the diesel generation system.The EOF is located adjacent to the document management section for SNC.The following records or information are available: 0 Technical Specifications.

• Selected plant operating procedures.

0 Emergency Plans.* Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

• FSARs.a State and local emergency response plans.* Savannah River Site Emergency Plan.The following records or information can be transmitted to the EOF manually, electronically or by facsimile:
• Environs radiological monitoring records.0 SNC employee radiation exposure histories.
• System piping and instrumentation diagrams and HVAC flow diagrams.* Piping area diagrams.0 Electrical one-line, elementary, and wiring diagrams.The above records or information are available in current form and updated as necessary to ensure currency and completeness.

Operations at this facility are directed by the EOF manager.D.2 Contingency Planning Optimum functionality and availability was considered in the decision to locate the EOF in Birmingham, Alabama. At this location, functionality of the EOF would be uninterrupted by radiation releases, natural phenomena, and security based events at any of the SNC sites. Support operations and coordination with Federal, State and local organizations would continue. If personnel were to be dispatched to the sites, then personal protection equipment would be available from G-13 Rev. 41 the local emergency management agency or from one of the unaffected SNC plant sites.In the unlikely event that individuals should need to respond to the EOF from within the 10 mile EPZ of any SNC plant, they would be surveyed prior to release by local emergency authorities at the reception centers in accordance with State and Local emergency response plans.In the unlikely event that the EOF becomes uninhabitable, resources and personnel will be transferred to the Corporate Headquarters of Alabama Power Company, located in Birmingham, Alabama. These actions will be taken as part of the normal business continuity plan.E. COORDINATION WITH GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES The site specific Emergency Plan(s) delineate the governmental agencies to be notified and specifies the information to be initially conveyed. It is anticipated that representatives of various agencies will be dispatched to the EOF for an event at an SNC facility. Arrangements have been made between the appropriate State agencies and SNC to ensure rapid response of state personnel dispatched to the EOF.E.1 U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Coordination with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) may be underway at several locations simultaneously. For details of the NRC response, see the NRC Incident Response Plan NUREG 0728.Initial notification of the NRC will proceed as specified in the site specific Emergency Plan. The resident NRC inspector(s) and plant personnel have direct communications from the site control room to the NRC headquarters in Rockville, Maryland. and to the regional headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.The resident inspector(s) may be reinforced by additional NRC personnel shortly after notification of an emergency. The Emergency Director is responsible for coordinating NRC activities to reduce duplication of effort and reduce impact on the plant staff during the emergency situation. Provisions have been made to have direct NRC FTS lines in the TSC and the EOF during an emergency. This will allow personnel in the control room to continue responding to the emergency while personnel in the TSC or EOF respond to questions and input from the NRC.G-14 Rev. 44 NRC activities requiring response from the licensee will be coordinated by the EOF Technical Coordinator through the EOF manager.E.2 STATE GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES The government notifications are outlined in the site specific Emergency Plan(s).Coordination of offsite responses to the emergency is the responsibility of State agencies as outlined in the State Radiological Emergency Response Plans.E.3 LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES Notification of local government officials is outlined in the site specific Emergency Plan(s). Coordination with local government agencies will normally be through the responsible State agency.E.4 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Notification of DOE officials is outlined in the site specific Emergency Plan.F.

CLASSIFICATION OF EMERGENCIES The classification system is based on the four emergency classes described in 1 OCFR50 Appendix E and NUREG 0654, established by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), for grouping off-normal nuclear power plant conditions according to (1) their relative radiological seriousness, and (2) the time-sensitive onsite and off-site radiological emergency preparedness actions necessary to respond to such conditions.

The existing radiological emergency classes, in ascending order of seriousness, are called:* Notification of Unusual Event (NUE)* Alert* Site Area Emergency (SAE)* General Emergency (GE)The classes, therefore, determine initial steps to be taken by on site and by corporate emergency response personnel. The emergency classes are used by offsite authorities to determine which of the preplanned actions to be taken by their emergency organizations. An emergency classification is indicative of the status of the plant. Inputs to the emergency classification system include the status of various plant systems, radiation levels in and around plant areas, and the rate of release of radioactivity from the plant. These are termed Initiating Conditions which are a predetermined subset of nuclear power plant conditions where either the potential exists for a radiological emergency, or such an emergency has occurred.The SNC classification scheme is based on NEI 99-01, Rev 4, Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels, January 2003 endorsed by Reg Guide 1.101, Rev 4, Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors. The Initiating Conditions lead each plant to a classification Implementing Procedure which contains the Threshold values for each Initiating Condition. Each Initiating Condition has specific conditions associated that are termed Threshold Values. When an Initiating Condition is observed and the criteria of it's associated Threshold Values are met, an Emergency Action Level is met and the event is then classified and declared at the appropriate level.The SNC Classification procedures are written to classify events based on meeting the Initiating Condition (IC) and a Threshold Value (TV) for an EAL considering each Unit independently. During events, the ICs and TVs are monitored and if conditions meet another higher EAL, that higher emergency classification is declared and appropriate notifications made. Notifications are made on a site basis. If both units are in concurrent classifications, the highest classification would be used for the notification and the other unit classification noted on the notification form.At all times, when conditions present themselves that are not explicitly provided in the EAL scheme the Emergency Director has discretion to declare an event based on his knowledge of the emergency classes and judgment of the situation or condition. K-1 Rev. 48 Once an emergency classification is made, it cannot be downgraded to a lower classification. All the actions associated with the emergency classification level must be completed and then a termination of the event can be affected. At termination, on an event specific basis, the site can either enter normal operating conditions or enter a recovery condition with a recovery organization established for turnover from the ERO.The described emergency classes and the emergency action levels which determine them are agreed on by SNC and State and local authorities. The emergency action levels will be reviewed by these officials annually.a. Notification of Unusual Event 1. Description The classification of Notification of Unusual Event applies to situations in which events are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.2. Response In the event of a Notification of Unusual Event, the Shift Manager will assesses the conditions and implement the Classification EIP.The Emergency Organization will perform the following:

1) Inform State and local offsite authorities of the nature of the unusual event within 15 min. of classifying the emergency.

Notify the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) as soon as possible (ASAP) but no later than 1 hour following classification of the emergency.

2) Augment on-shift resources, as needed.3) Assess and respond to the event.4) Escalate to a more severe class, if appropriate, or close out with a verbal summary to offsite authorities followed by a written summary within 24 hours.b. Alert 1. Description The classification of Alert applies to situations in which events are in process or have occurred which involve an, actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of intentional malicious dedicated efforts of hostile action. Any releases of K-2 Rev. 48 radioactive material for the Alert classification are expected to be limited to small fractions of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guideline (PAG) exposure levels. The purpose of offsite alert is to assure that emergency personnel are readily available to respond if the situation becomes more serious or to perform confirmatory radiation monitoring if required and to provide offsite authorities current status information.

2. Response In the event of an Alert the Shift Manager will assess the conditions and implement the Classification EIP.The Emergency Organization will then perform the following:

1) Within 15 min. of classification, inform State and local offsite authorities of Alert Emergency and reasons for emergency.

Notify the NRC ASAP but no later than 1 hour following classification of the emergency.

2) Augment resources and activate the emergency response facilities (e.g.Technical Support Center (TSC), Operational Support Center (OSC) and the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)). These actions may be delayed for security based events at the discretion of the emergency director.3) Assess and respond to the emergency.

4) Mobilize, and dispatch if necessary, onsite survey teams.5) Provide periodic plant status updates to offsite authorities.

6) Provide periodic meteorological assessments to offsite authorities and, if any emergency releases are occurring, field monitoring team readings or dose estimates for actual releases.7) Activate the Emergency Response Data System for the affected unit within 1 hour following declaration of the Alert.8) Escalate to a more severe class, if appropriate, or close out the emergency class by verbal summary to offsite authorities followed by written summary within 8 hours of closeout.c. Site Area Emergency 1. Description The classification of Site Area Emergency applies to those events which are in progress or have occurred that involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public from radiation or contamination or security events that result in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) prevent effective access to, equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases of radioactive material for the Site Area Emergency classification are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except near the site boundary.K-3 Rev. 48

2. Response In the event of a Site Area Emergency, the Shift Manager will assess the conditions and implement the Classification EIP.The Emergency Organization will perform the following:

1) Within 15 min. of classification, inform State and local offsite authorities of Site Area Emergency and reasons for emergency.

Notify the NRC ASAP but no later than 1 hour following classification of the emergency.

2) If necessary, provide protective action recommendations to State and local authorities.

3) Augment resources and activate the emergency response facilities (e.g.Technical Support Center (TSC), Operational Support Center (OSC), and the Emergency Operating Facility (EOF)). These actions may be delayed for security based events at the discretion of the emergency director.4) Assess and respond to the emergency.

5) Dispatch as necessary onsite and offsite survey teams.6) Dedicate individuals for plant status updates to offsite authorities and periodic press briefings.

7) On a periodic basis, make senior technical and management staff available for consultation with the NRC and State officials.

8) Provide meteorological information and dose estimates to offsite authorities for actual releases via a dedicated individual.

8) Provide release and dose projections based on available plant condition information and foreseeable contingencies.

10) Activate the Emergency Response Data System for the affected unit within 1 hour following declaration of the Site Area Emergency.

11) Escalate to General Emergency, if appropriate, or close out the emergency class by briefing of offsite authorities followed by written summary within 8 hours of closeout.d. General Emergency 1. Description The classification of General Emergency applies to those events which are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential loss of containment integrity or security events that result in an actual loss of physical control of the facility.

Release of radioactive material for the General Emergency classification can reasonably be expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.K-4 Rev. 48

2. Response In the event of a General Emergency the Shift Manager will assess the conditions and implement the Classification EIP.The Emergency Organization will then perform the following:

1) Within 15 min. of classification, inform State and local offsite authorities of General Emergency and reason for emergency.

Notify the NRC ASAP but no later than 1 hour following classification of the emergency.

2) Provide protective action recommendations to State and local authorities based upon plant conditions and/or actual or projected releases of radioactive material.3) Augment resources and activate the emergency response facilities (e.g.Technical Support Center (TSC), Operational Support Center (OSC), and the Emergency Operating Facility (EOF)). These actions may be delayed for security based events at the discretion of the emergency director.4) Assess and respond to the emergency 5) Dispatch onsite and offsite survey teams.6) Dedicate an individual for plant status updates to offsite authorities and periodic press briefings.

11) Close out the emergency class by briefing of offsite authorities followed by written summary within 8 hours of closeout.K-5 Rev. 48

2. CLASSIFICATION PROCESS The Classification Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure is used to classify the emergency condition upon recognition of an off- normal condition relative to an Initiating Condition.

Two Initiating Condition Matrices and a Fission Product Barrier Evaluation table are used depending on the initial mode of the unit. The Hot Initiating Condition matrix and the Fission Product Barrier Evaluation table are used when the unit is in the Technical Specification defined modes of Hot Shutdown, Hot Standby, Startup and Power Operation. A Cold Initiating Condition matrix is used when the unit is in the Cold Shutdown, Refueling, or Defueled modes. The IC Matrices are human factored to read from top to bottom General Emergency to Notification of Unusual Event within a category or subcategory. To facilitate the expeditious classification of emergencies, the various initiating conditions which may result in an emergency class are grouped into six recognition categories as follows:* Radiological (Hot and Cold -R series)* Fission Product Barriers (Hot -F series)" System Malfunctions (Hot -S series)* System Malfunctions (Cold -C series)* ISFSI (Hot and Cold -E series)* Hazards (Hot and Cold -H series)Within each category, sub categories and specific Initiating Conditions are identified. Each Initiating Condition has specific conditions associated that are termed Threshold Values.These Initiating Conditions, Threshold Values, and bases are provided in this Appendix.K-6 Rev. 48 Not Initiating ondiiiMatrixMoeiis1, 2, 3 and 44 2vi Categories / Subcategories Radiological stem Mlofunrinned

Operating Mode Applicability: All Threshold Values: (1 OR 2 OR 3)NOTE: If dose assessment results are available at the time of declaration, the classification should be based on Threshold Value #2 instead of Threshold Value#1.While necessary declarations should not be delayed awaiting results, the dose assessment should be initiated / completed in order to determine if the classification should be subsequently escalated. NOTE: The Emergency Director should not wait until 15 minutes has elapsed, but should declare the event as soon as it is determined that the release duration has or will likely exceed 15 minutes.1.

Dose assessment using actual meteorology indicates doses greater than 1,000 mR TEDE OR 5,000 mR thyroid CDE at OR beyond the site boundary.3. Field survey results indicate closed window dose rates exceeding 1,000 mR/hr expected to continue for more than one hour; OR analyses of field survey samples indicate thyroid CDE of 5,000 mR for one hour of inhalation, at OR beyond site boundary.Basis: VALID: an indication, report, or condition, is considered to be VALID when it is verified by (1) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment. K-10 Rev. 48 This IC addresses radioactivity releases that result in doses at or beyond the site boundary that exceed the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAGs). Public protective actions will be necessary. Releases of this magnitude are associated with the failure of plant systems needed for the protection of the public and likely involve fuel damage. While these failures are addressed by other ICs, this IC provides appropriate diversity and addresses events which may not be able to be classified on the basis of plant status alone. It is important to note that, for the more severe accidents, the release may be unmonitored or there may be large uncertainties associated with the source term and/or meteorology. The Emergency Director should not wait until 15 minutes has elapsed, but should declare the event as soon as it is determined that the release duration has or will likely exceed 15 minutes.The monitor reading Threshold Values are determined using a dose assessment method that back calculates from the dose values specified in the IC. The meteorology and source term (noble gases, particulates, and halogens) used are the same as those used for determining the monitor reading Threshold Values in ICs RU1 and RAI. This protocol will maintain intervals between the Threshold Values for the four classifications. Since doses are generally not monitored in real-time, a release duration of one hour is assumed, and that the Threshold Values are based on a site boundary (or beyond) dose of 1,000 mR/hour whole body or 5,000 mR/hour thyroid, whichever is more limiting.Since dose assessment is based on actual meteorology, whereas the monitor reading Threshold Values are not, the results from these assessments may indicate that the classification is not warranted, or may indicate that a higher classification is warranted. For this reason, emergency implementing procedures call for the timely performance of dose assessments using actual meteorology and release information. If the results of these dose assessments are available when the classification is made the dose assessment results override the monitor reading Threshold Values. Classification should not be delayed pending the results of these dose assessments.

Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment. This IC addresses radioactivity releases that result in doses at or beyond the site boundary that exceed a small fraction of the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAGs). Releases of this magnitude are associated with the failure of plant systems needed for the protection of the public.The Emergency Director should not wait until 15 minutes has elapsed, but should declare the event as soon as it is determined that the release duration has or will likely exceed 15 minutes.The monitor reading Threshold Values are determined using a dose assessment method that back calculates from the dose values specified in the IC. The meteorology and source term (noble gases, particulates, and halogens) used is the same as those used for determining the monitor reading Threshold Values in ICs RUI and RAI. This protocol maintains intervals between the Threshold Values for the four classifications. Since doses are generally not monitored in real-time, a release duration of one hour is assumed, and that the Threshold Values be based on a site boundary (or beyond) dose of 100 mR/hour whole body or 500 mR/hour thyroid, whichever is more limiting.The release rates which result in site boundary doses of 100 mR TEDE are in excess of the range of the monitors listed in RU1 and RA1.Since dose assessment is based on actual meteorology, whereas the monitor reading Threshold Values are not, the results from these assessments may indicate that the classification is not warranted, or may indicate that a higher classification is warranted. For this reason, emergency implementing procedures should call for the timely performance of dose assessments using actual meteorology and release information. If the results of these dose assessments are available when the classification is made (e.g., initiated at a lower classification level), the dose assessment results override the monitor reading Threshold Values. Classification should not be delayed pending the results of these dose assessments.

Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment. This IC addresses a potential or actual decline in the level of safety of the plant as indicated by a radiological release that exceeds regulatory commitments for an extended period of time. The occurrence of extended, uncontrolled radioactive releases to the environment is indicative of a degradation in these features and/or controls.UNPLANNED, as used in this context, includes any release for which a radioactivity discharge permit was not prepared, or a release that exceeds the conditions (e.g., minimum dilution flow, maximum discharge flow, alarm setpoints, etc.) on the applicable permit. The Emergency Director should not wait until 15 minutes has elapsed, but should declare the event as soon as it is determined that the release duration has or will likely exceed 15 minutes.Also, if an ongoing release is detected and the starting time for that release is unknown, the Emergency Director should, in the absence of data to the contrary, assume that the release has exceeded 15 minutes.Threshold Value #1 addresses radioactivity releases that for whatever reason cause effluent radiation monitor readings that exceed two hundred times the alarm setpoint established by the radioactivity discharge permit. This alarm setpoint may be associated with a planned batch release, or a continuous release path.Threshold Value #2 is similar to Threshold Value #1, but is intended to address effluent or accident radiation monitors on non-routine release pathways for which a discharge permit would not normally be prepared.Threshold Value #3 addresses uncontrolled releases that are detected by sample analyses, particularly on unmonitored pathways, e.g., spills of radioactive liquids into storm drains, heat exchanger leakage in river water systems, etc.Threshold Values #1 and #2 directly correlate with the IC since annual average meteorology is required to be used in showing compliance with the RECP and is used in calculating the alarm setpoints. Due to the uncertainty associated with meteorology, emergency implementing procedures should call for the timely performance of dose assessments using actual (real-time) meteorology in the event of a gaseous radioactivity release of this magnitude. The results of these assessments should be compared to the ICs RS1 and RG1 to determine if the event classification should be escalated. ¶IRA2 K-15 Rev. 48 Initiating Condition Damage to Irradiated Fuel OR Loss of Water Level that Has or Will Result in the Uncovering of Irradiated Fuel Outside the Reactor Vessel.Operating Mode Applicability: All Threshold Values: (11 OR 2)1.

Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment. UNPLANNED: a parameter change or an event that is not the result of an intended evolution and requires corrective or mitigative actions.This IC addresses specific events that have resulted, or may result, in unexpected rises in radiation dose rates within plant buildings, and may be a precursor to a radioactivity release to the environment. These events represent a loss of control over radioactive material and represent a degradation in the level of safety of the plant.Threshold Value #1 addresses radiation monitor indications of fuel uncovery and/or fuel damage. Raised readings on ventilation monitors may be indication of a radioactivity release from the fuel, confirming that damage has occurred. Raised background at the monitor due to water level lowering may mask raised ventilation exhaust airborne activity and needs to be K-16 Rev. 48 considered. Application of these Initiating Conditions requires understanding of the actual radiological conditions present in the vicinity of the monitor.in Threshold Value #2, indications include water level and personnel reports. Visual observation will be the primary indicator for spent fuel pool and fuel movement activities. Personnel report during fuel assembly movements is included to ensure that reports of actual or potential fuel uncovery is classified. If available, video cameras may allow remote observation. Depending on available level indication, the declaration threshold may need to be based on indications of water makeup rate or lowering in refueling water storage tank level.K-17 Rev. 48 ,¶RA3 Initiating Condition Release of Radioactive Material or Rises in Radiation Levels Within the Facility That Impedes Operation of Systems Required to Maintain Safe Operations or to Establish or Maintain Cold Shutdown Operating Mode Applicability: Threshold Values: All (1 OR 2)1.

Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment. K-18 Rev. 48 This IC addresses raised radiation levels that impede necessary access to operating stations, or other areas containing equipment that must be operated manually or that requires local monitoring, in order to maintain safe operation or perform a safe shutdown. It is this impaired ability to operate the plant that results in the actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. The cause and/or magnitude of the rise in radiation levels is not a concern of this IC. The Emergency Director must consider the source or cause of the raised radiation levels and determine if any other IC may be involved.This IC is not meant to apply to anticipated temporary rises due to planned events.The area requiring continuous occupancy is the control room and the central alarm station. The Central Alarm Station is in the Control Room envelope. The value of 15mR/hr is derived from the GDC 19 value of 5 rem in 30 days with adjustment for expected occupancy times.For areas requiring infrequent access, the 1 R/hr (Locked High Rad Area) is based on radiation levels which result in exposure control measures intended to maintain doses within normal occupational exposure guidelines and limits (i.e., 10 CFR 20), and in doing so, will impede necessary access. As used here, impede, includes hindering or interfering provided that the interference or delay is sufficient to significantly threaten the safe operation of the plant.K-19 Rev. 48 ¶RUI Initiating Condition Any UNPLANNED Release of Gaseous or Liquid Radioactivity to the Environment that Exceeds Two Times the Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for 60 Minutes or Longer.Operating Mode Applicability: All Threshold Values: (1 OR 2 OR 3)I NOTE: The Emergency Director should not wait until 60 minutes has elapsed, but should declare the event as soon as it is determined that the release duration has or will likely exceed 60 minutes.1.VALID reading on any effluent monitor that exceeds two times the alarm setpoint established by a current radioactivity discharge permit for 60 minutes OR longer.2.Monitor 2 X Setpoint Value 2.00 x 105 cpm (planned release)Liquid Radwaste Effluent Line RE-18 58 4 1.58 x 104 cpm (no planned release)Steam Generator Blowdown Effluent Line 2.80 x 103 cpm RE-23B Steam Jet Air Ejector RE-15 3.54 x 10 2 cpm Plant Vent Gas RE-14 3.64 x 104 cpm RE-22 4.36 x 102 cpm RE-29B (NG) 8.88 x 1 0' pCi/mI 2.

Confirmed sample analyses for gaseous OR liquid releases indicates concentrations OR release rates, with a release duration of 60 minutes OR longer, in excess of two times Technical Specification 5.5.4.b, as confirmed by the ODCM.K-20 Rev. 48 Basis: UNPLANNED, as used in this context, includes any release for which a radioactivity discharge permit was not prepared, or a release that exceeds the conditions (e.g., minimum dilution flow, maximum discharge flow, alarm setpoints, etc.) on the applicable permit. The Emergency Director should not wait until 60 minutes has elapsed, but should declare the event as soon as it is determined that the release duration has or will likely exceed 60 minutes. Also, if an ongoing release is detected and the starting time for that release is unknown, the Emergency Director.should, in the absence of data to the contrary, assume that the release has exceeded 60 minutes.VALID: an indication, report, or condition, is considered to be VALID when it is verified by (1) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment. This IC addresses a potential or actual decline in the level of safety of the plant as indicated by a radiological release that exceeds regulatory commitments for an extended period of time.Nuclear power plants incorporate features intended to control the release of radioactive effluents to the environment. Further, there are administrative controls established to prevent unintentional releases, or control and monitor intentional releases. These controls are located in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM), Ref 2. The occurrence of extended, uncontrolled radioactive releases to the environment is indicative of a degradation in these features and/or controls.Threshold Value #1 addresses radioactivity releases, that for whatever reason, cause effluent radiation monitor readings to exceed two times the Technical Specification limit and releases are not terminated within 60 minutes. This alarm setpoint may be associated with a planned batch release, or a continuous release path. In either case, the setpoint is established by the ODCM to warn of a release that is not in compliance with the TS 5.5.4. Indexing the Threshold Value to the ODCM setpoints in this manner ensures that the Threshold Value will never be less than the setpoint established by a specific discharge permit.Threshold Value #2 is intended for effluent monitoring on non-routine release pathways for which a discharge permit would not normally be prepared. The ODCM establishes a methodology for determining effluent radiation monitor setpoints. The ODCM specifies default source terms and, for gaseous releases, prescribes the use of pre-determined annual average meteorology in the most limiting downwind sector for showing compliance with the regulatory commitments. These monitor reading Threshold Values are determined using this methodology. Threshold Value #3 addresses uncontrolled releases that are detected by sample analyses, particularly on unmonitored pathways, e.g., spills of radioactive liquids into storm drains, heat exchanger leakage in river water systems, etc.K-21 Rev. 48 11RU2 Initiating Condition Unexpected Rise in Plant Radiation.

a parameter change or an event that is not the result of an intended evolution and requires corrective or mitigative actions.VALID: an indication, report, or condition, is considered to be VALID when it is verified by (1) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment. K-22 Rev. 48 This IC addresses raised radiation levels as a result of water level lowering above the RPV flange or events that have resulted, or may result, in unexpected rises in radiation dose rates within plant buildings. These radiation rises represent a loss of control over radioactive material and may represent a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant.Classification as a NOUE is warranted as a precursor to a more serious event. Indications include instrumentation such as water level and local area radiation monitors, equipment parameters and personnel (e.g., refueling crew) reports. If available, video cameras may allow remote observation. Depending on available level instrumentation, the declaration threshold may need to be based on indications of water makeup rate or lowering in refueling water storage tank level.Threshold Value la: Personnel report of low water level is the primary indicator. Threshold Value lb limits: FSAR 9.1.3.1.2 indicates that 12 feet of water above the stored fuel yields a dose rate of about 2.5 mR/hr. These monitors do not directly see the fuel, but see the dose reflected from the ceiling or containment dome, A conservative reduction on reflection is 10-2 (Ref. 10). Thus when on-scale, the lowest reading monitor (RE-0005, 10 4 mR/hr, Ref. 8, Table 3.3-6) equivalent reading at the pool surface would be 106 mR/hr. Then a rise from a general area dose rate of 2.5 mR/hr represents log (106/2.5) = 5.6 1/1 0 th thicknesses. Assuming a 1/1 0 th thickness is 2 feet (Ref. 11), the monitor reading rise is equivalent to a water level lowering of 5.6 x 2 = 11.2 feet. Thus the fuel would have at least 6 inches of water cover.Threshold Value #2 addresses UNPLANNED rises in in-plant radiation levels that represent a degradation in the control of radioactive material, and represent a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant.K-23 Rev. 48 Fission Product Barrier Degradation NOUE FU1 ANY Loss or ANY Potential Loss of Containment Op. Modes: Power Operation, Hot Standby, Startup, Hot Shutdown ALERT FAI ANY Loss or ANY Potential Loss of EITHER Fuel Clad OR RCS Op. Modes: Power Operation, Hot Standby, Startup, Hot Shutdown SITE AREA EMERGENCY FSl Loss or Potential Loss of ANY Two Barriers Op. Modes: Power Operation, Hot Standby, Startup, Hot Shutdown GENERAL EMERGENCY FG1 Loss of ANY Two Barriers AND Loss or Potential Loss of Third Barrier Op. Modes: Power Operation, Hot Standby, Startup, Hot Shutdown NOTES 1. The logic used for these initiating conditions reflects the following considerations:

• The Fuel Clad Barrier and the RCS Barrier are weighted more heavily than the Containment Barrier. NOUE ICs associated with RCS and Fuel Clad Barriers are addressed under System Malfunction ICs.* At the Site Area Emergency level, there must be some ability to dynamically assess how far present conditions are from the threshold for a General Emergency.

For example, if Fuel Clad and RCS Barrier "Loss" Threshold Values existed, that, in addition to offsite dose assessments, would require continual assessments of radioactive inventory and containment integrity. Alternatively, if both Fuel Clad and RCS Barrier "Potential Loss" Threshold Values existed, the Emergency Director would have more assurance that there was no immediate need to escalate to a General Emergency.

• The ability to escalate to higher emergency maintained.

For example, RCS leakage steadily to public health and safety.classes as an event deteriorates must be increasing would represent an increasing risk K-24 Rev. 48 Farley Fission Product Barrier Evaluation FUEL CLAD BARRIER Threshold Values: The Fuel Clad Barrier is the zircalloy or stainless steel tubes that contain the fuel pellets.1. Critical Safety Function Status INOTE: Heat Sink CSF should not be considered -RED if total AFW flow is less than 395 gpm due to operator action.RED path indicates an extreme challenge to the safety function. ORANGE path indicates a severe challenge to the safety function.Core Cooling -ORANGE indicates subcooling has been lost and that some clad damage may occur. Heat Sink -RED indicates the ultimate heat sink function is under extreme challenge and thus these two items indicate potential loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier.Core Cooling -RED indicates significant superheating and core uncovery and is considered to indicate loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier.2. Primary Coolant Activity Level The 300 piCi/gm 1131 equivalent. Assessment by the NUMARC EAL Task Force indicates that this amount of coolant activity is well above that expected for iodine spikes and corresponds to less than 5% fuel clad damage. This amount of radioactivity indicates significant clad damage and thus the Fuel Clad Barrier is considered lost. (Figure 4 may be used to evaluate)There is no equivalent "Potential Loss" Threshold Value for this item.3. Core Exit Thermocouple Readings Core Exit Thermocouple Readings are included in addition to the Critical Safety Functions to include conditions when the CSFs may not be in use.The "Loss" Threshold Value of 1200 degrees F corresponds to significant superheating of the coolant. This value corresponds to the temperature reading that indicates core cooling -RED in Fuel Clad Barrier Threshold Value #1.The "Potential Loss" Threshold Value of 700 degrees F corresponds to loss of subcooling. This value corresponds to the temperature reading that indicates core cooling -ORANGE in Fuel Clad Barrier Threshold Value #1.4. Reactor Vessel Water Level There is no "Loss" Threshold Value corresponding to this item because it is better covered by the other Fuel Clad Barrier "Loss" Threshold Values.The 0% RVLIS value for the "Potential Loss" Threshold Value corresponds to the top of the active fuel. The "Potential Loss" Threshold Value is defined by the Core Cooling -ORANGE path.K-25 Rev. 48

5. Containment Radiation Monitoring The greater than 80 R/hr reading is a value which indicates the release of reactor coolant, with elevated activity indicative of fuel damage, into the containment.

The reading is calculated assuming the instantaneous release and dispersal of the reactor coolant noble gas and iodine inventory associated with a concentration of 300 ýiCi/gm dose equivalent 1-131 into the containment atmosphere. Reactor coolant concentrations of this magnitude are several times larger than the maximum concentrations (including iodine spiking) allowed within technical specifications and are therefore indicative of fuel damage. This value is higher than that specified for RCS barrier Loss Threshold Value #4. Thus, this Threshold Value indicates a loss of both the fuel clad barrier and a loss of RCS barrier.There is no "Potential Loss" Threshold Value associated with this item.7. Emergency Director Judgment This Threshold Value addresses any other factors that are to be used by the Emergency Director in determining whether the Fuel Clad barrier is lost or potentially lost. In addition, the inability to monitor the barrier is incorporated in this Threshold Value as a factor in Emergency Director judgment that the barrier may be considered lost or potentially lost.RCS BARRIER Threshold Values: The RCS Barrier includes the RCS primary side and its connections up to and including the pressurizer safety and relief valves, and other connections up to and including the primary isolation valves.1. Critical Safety Function Status There is no "Loss" Threshold Value associated with this item.NOTE: Heat Sink CSF should not be considered -RED if total AFW flow is less than 395 gpm due to operator action.This Threshold Value uses the Critical Safety Function Status Tree (CSFST) monitoring and functional restoration procedures. An RCS Integrity RED path indicates an extreme challenge to the safety function derived from appropriate instrument readings, and these CSFs indicate a potential loss of RCS barrier.2. RCS Leak Rate The "Loss" Threshold Value addresses conditions where leakage from the RCS is greater than available inventory control capacity such that a loss of subcooling has occurred. The loss of subcooling is the fundamental indication that the inventory control systems are inadequate in maintaining RCS pressure and inventory against the mass loss through the leak.The "Potential Loss" Threshold Value is based on the inability to maintain normal liquid inventory within the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) by normal operation of the Chemical and Volume Control System which is considered as one centrifugal charging pump discharging to K-26 Rev. 48 the charging header. A second charging pump being required is indicative of a substantial RCS leak providing the 120 GPM value.3. SG Tube Rupture This Threshold Value is intended to address the full spectrum of Steam Generator (SG) tube rupture events in conjunction with Containment Barrier "Loss" Threshold Value #4 and Fuel Clad Barrier Threshold Values. The "Loss" Threshold Value addresses RUPTURED SG(s) for which the leakage is large enough to cause actuation of ECCS (SI). This is consistent to the RCS Barrier "Potential Loss" Threshold Value #2. This condition is described by EEP-3.0 entered. By itself, this Threshold Value will result in the declaration of an Alert. However, if the SG is also FAULTED (i.e., two barriers failed), the declaration escalates to a Site Area Emergency per Containment Barrier "Loss" Threshold Value #4.There is no "Potential Loss" Threshold Value.4. Containment Radiation Monitoring The RE-2 greater than 100 mR/hr and RE-7 greater than 200 mR/hr threshold is a value which indicates the release of reactor coolant to the containment. The reading is calculated assuming the instantaneous release and dispersal of the reactor coolant noble gas and iodine inventory associated with normal operating concentrations (i.e., within T/S) into the containment atmosphere. This value is less than that specified for Fuel Clad Barrier Threshold Value #5.Thus, this Threshold Value would be indicative of a RCS leak only. If the radiation monitor reading rise to that specified by Fuel Clad Barrier Threshold Value #5, fuel damage would also be indicated. There is no "Potential Loss" Threshold Value associated with this item.5. Other Indications There is no "Loss" Threshold Value associated with this item.An unexplained level rise in the containment sump, Reactor Coolant Drain Tank or the Waste Holdup Tank could indicate a RCS leak and is therefore included as a Potential Loss of the RCS Barrier.6. Emergency Director Judgment This Threshold Value addresses any other factors that are to be used by the Emergency Director in determining whether the RCS barrier is lost or potentially lost. In addition, the inability to monitor the barrier should also be incorporated in this Threshold Value as a factor in Emergency Director judgment that the barrier may be considered lost or potentially lost.CONTAINMENT BARRIER Threshold Values: The Containment Barrier includes the containment building, its connections up to and including the outermost containment isolation valves. This barrier also includes the main steam, feedwater, and blowdown line extensions outside the containment building up to and including the outermost secondary side isolation valve.K-27 Rev. 48

1. Critical Safety Function Status There is no "Loss" Threshold Value associated with this item.This Threshold Value uses Critical Safety Function Status Tree (CSFST) monitoring and functional restoration procedures.

Containment RED path indicates an extreme challenge to the safety function derived from appropriate instrument readings and/or sampling results, and thus represents a potential loss of containment. Conditions leading to a containment RED path result from RCS barrier and/or Fuel Clad Barrier Loss. Thus, this Threshold Value is primarily a discriminator between Site Area Emergency and General Emergency representing a potential loss of the third barrier.2. Containment Pressure Rapid unexplained loss of pressure (i.e., not attributable to containment spray or condensation effects) following an initial pressure rise indicates a loss of containment integrity. Containment pressure and sump levels should rise as a result of the mass and energy release into containment from a LOCA. Thus, sump level or pressure not increasing indicates containment bypass and a loss of containment integrity. The 27 PSIG for potential loss of containment is based on one-half the containment design pressure. Existence of an explosive mixture means a hydrogen and oxygen concentration of at least the lower deflagration limit (greater than 6%) curve exists. The indications of potential loss under this Threshold Value corresponds to some of those leading to the RED path in Threshold Value #1 above and may be declared. As described above, this Threshold Value is primarily a discriminator between Site Area Emergency and General Emergency representing a potential loss of the third barrier.The second potential loss Threshold Value represents a potential loss of containment in that the containment heat removal/depressurization system (e.g., containment sprays, fan coolers, etc., but not including containment venting strategies) are either lost or performing in a degraded manner, as indicated by containment pressure greater than the setpoint at which the equipment was supposed to have actuated.3. Core Exit Thermocouples There is no "Loss" Threshold Value associated with this item.In this Threshold Value, the function restoration procedures are those emergency operating procedures that address the recovery of the core cooling critical safety functions. The procedure is considered effective if the temperature is decreasing or if the vessel water level is increasing. For units using the CSF status trees a direct correlation to those status trees can be made if the effectiveness of the restoration procedures is also evaluated as stated below.Severe accident analyses (e.g., NUREG-1150) have concluded that function restoration procedures can arrest core degradation within the reactor vessel in a significant fraction of the core damage scenarios, and that the likelihood of containment failure is very small in these events. Given this, it is appropriate to provide a reasonable period to allow function restoration procedures to arrest the core melt sequence. Whether or not the procedures will be effective should be apparent within 15 minutes. The Emergency Director should make the declaration as K-28 Rev. 48 soon as it is determined that the procedures have been, or will be ineffective. The reactor vessel level chosen should be consistent with the emergency response guides applicable to the facility.The conditions in this potential loss Threshold Value represent an imminent core melt sequence which, if not corrected, could lead to vessel failure and an raised potential for containment failure. In conjunction with the Core Cooling and Heat Sink criteria in the Fuel and RCS barrier columns, this Threshold Value would result in the declaration of a General Emergency -- loss of two barriers and the potential loss of a third. If the function restoration procedures are ineffective, there is no "success" path.4. SG Secondary Side Release With Primary To Secondary Leakage This "loss" Threshold Value recognizes that SG tube leakage can represent a bypass of the containment barrier as well as a loss of the RCS barrier. The "loss" Threshold Value addresses the condition in which a RUPTURED steam generator is also FAULTED. This condition represents a bypass of the RCS and containment barriers. In conjunction with RCS Barrier"loss" Threshold Value #3, this would always result in the declaration of a Site Area Emergency. The other leakage "loss" Threshold Value addresses SG tube leaks that exceed 10 gpm in conjunction with a nonisolable release path to the environment from the affected steam generator. The threshold for establishing the nonisolable secondary side release is intended to be a prolonged release of radioactivity from the RUPTURED steam generator directly to the environment. This could be expected to occur when the main condenser is unavailable to accept the contaminated steam (i.e., SGTR with concurrent loss of offsite power and the RUPTURED steam generator is required for plant cooldown or a stuck open relief valve). If the main condenser is available, there may be releases via air ejectors, gland seal exhausters, and other similar controlled, and often monitored, pathways. These pathways do not meet the intent of a nonisolable release path to the environment. These minor releases are assessed using Abnormal Rad Levels / Radiological Effluent ICs.5. Containment Isolation Valve Status After Containment Isolation This Threshold Value addresses incomplete containment isolation that allows direct release to the environment. It represents a loss of the containment barrier.The use of the modifier "direct" in defining the release path discriminates against release paths through interfacing liquid systems. The existence of an in-line charcoal filter does not make a release path indirect since the filter is not effective at removing fission noble gases. Typical filters have an efficiency of 95-99% removal of iodine. Given the magnitude of the core inventory of iodine, significant releases could still occur. In addition, since the fission product release would be driven by boiling in the reactor vessel, the high humidity in the release stream can be expected to render the filters ineffective in a short period.There is no "Potential Loss" Threshold Value associated with this item.6. Significant Radioactive Inventory in Containment There is no "Loss" Threshold Value associated with this item.The greater than 3000 R/hr value indicates significant fuel damage well in excess of the Threshold Values associated with both loss of Fuel Clad and loss of RCS Barriers. A major K-29 Rev. 48 release of radioactivity requiring offsite protective actions from core damage is not possible unless a major failure of fuel cladding allows radioactive material to be released from the core into the reactor coolant.Regardless of whether containment is challenged, this amount of activity in containment, if released, could have such severe consequences that it is prudent to treat this as a potential loss of containment, such that a General Emergency declaration is warranted. NUREG-1228,"Source Estimations During Incident Response to Severe Nuclear Power Plant Accidents," indicates that such conditions do not exist when the amount of clad damage is less than 20%. A radiation monitor reading corresponding to 20% fuel clad damage is specified here.7. Other Indications Leakage from the Containment would be routed through various ventilation systems where the specific monitors would indicate a release. R10, R14, R21, OR R22 Alarms would indicate a breach in containment.

8. Emergency Director Judgment This Threshold Value addresses any other factors that are to be used by the Emergency Director in determining whether the Containment barrier is lost or potentially lost. In addition, the inability to monitor the barrier should also be incorporated in this Threshold Value as a factor in Emergency Director judgment that the barrier may be considered lost or potentially lost.K-30 Rev. 48 SGI Initiating Condition Prolonged Loss of All Offsite Power AND Prolonged Loss of All Onsite AC Power to Essential Busses.Operating Mode Applicability:

Threshold Value: Power Operation (Mode 1)Startup (Mode 2)Hot Standby (Mode 3)Hot Shutdown (Mode 4)(1 AND EITHER 2 OR 3)1. Loss of ALL AC power indicated by: a. Loss of offsite power to OR from Start Up Transformers 1(2)A AND 1(2)B resulting in loss of all offsite electrical power to BOTH 4160V ESF busses 1(2)F AND 1(2)G for greater than 15 minutes AND b. Failure of emergency diesel generators to supply power to emergency busses.AND EITHER 2. Restoration of at least one 4160V ESF bus, 1(2)F OR 1(2)G, within 4 hr. of time of loss is NOT likely OR 3. Fuel Clad Barrier Evaluation indicates continuing degradation (Loss or Potential Loss) due to core cooling.Basis: Loss of all AC power compromises all plant safety systems requiring electric power including RHR, ECCS, Containment Heat Removal and the Ultimate Heat Sink. Prolonged loss of all AC power will lead to loss of fuel clad, RCS, and containment. The 4 hours to restore AC power is based on a site blackout coping analysis. Appropriate allowance for offsite emergency response including evacuation of surrounding areas should be considered. Although this IC may be viewed as redundant to the Fission Product Barrier Degradation IC, its inclusion is necessary to better assure timely recognition and emergency response.This IC is specified to assure that in the unlikely event of a prolonged station blackout, timely recognition of the seriousness of the event occurs and that declaration of a General Emergency occurs as early as is appropriate, based on a reasonable assessment of the event trajectory. K-31 Rev. 48 The likelihood of restoring at least one emergency bus should be based on a realistic appraisal of the situation since a delay in an upgrade decision based on only a chance of mitigating the event could result in a loss of valuable time in preparing and implementing public protective actions.In addition, under these conditions, fission product barrier monitoring capability may be degraded. Although it may be difficult to predict when power can be restored, it is necessary to give the Emergency Director a reasonable idea of how quickly (s)he may need to declare a General Emergency based on two major considerations:

1. Are there any present indications that core cooling is already degraded to the point that Loss or Potential Loss of Fission Product Barriers is imminent?2. If there are no present indications of such core cooling degradation, how likely is it that power can be restored in time to assure that a loss of two barriers with a potential loss of the third barrier can be prevented?

Thus, indication of continuing core cooling degradation must be based on Fission Product Barrier monitoring with particular emphasis on Emergency Director judgment as it relates to imminent Loss or Potential Loss of fission product barriers and degraded ability to monitor fission product barriers.K-32 Rev. 48 ¶SG2 Initiating Condition Failure of the Reactor Protection System to Complete an Automatic Trip AND Manual Trip was NOT Successful AND there is Indication of an Extreme Challenge to the Ability to Cool the Core.Operating Mode Applicability: Threshold Value: Power Operation (Mode 1)Startup (Mode 2)(1 AND EITHER a OR b)NOTE: A successful manual trip for purposes of declaration is any action taken from the MCB that rapidly inserts the control rods. This can be accomplished by tripping the reactor using the Reactor Trip switches on the MCB OR by de-energizing both Rod Drive Motor Generator sets from the MCB.SNOTE: Heat Sink CSF should not be considered RED if total AFW flow is less than 395 gpm due to operator action.INOTE Failure of both MCB Rx Trip switches to trip the reactor meets the TV criteria of a setpoint being exceeded with no automatic trip occurring.

1. Indications exist that a reactor protection system setpoint was exceeded and automatic trip did not occur, and a manual trip did not result in the reactor being made subcritical.

AND EITHER a. Core Cooling CSF -RED OR b. Heat Sink CSF -RED Basis: Automatic and manual trip are not considered successful if action away from the reactor control console is required to trip the reactor. Under the conditions of this IC and its associated Threshold Values, the efforts to bring the reactor subcritical have been unsuccessful and, as a result, the reactor is producing more heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the safety systems were designed. Although there are capabilities away from the reactor control console, such as emergency boration, the continuing temperature rise indicates that these capabilities are not effective. This situation could be a precursor for a core melt sequence. This Threshold Value equates to a Subcriticality RED condition. K-33 Rev. 48 The extreme challenge to the ability to cool the core is intended to mean that the core exit temperatures are at or approaching 1200 degrees F or that the reactor vessel water level is below the top of active fuel. This Threshold Value equates to a Core Cooling RED condition. Another consideration is the inability to initially remove heat during the early stages of this sequence. If emergency feedwater flow is insufficient to remove the amount of heat required by design from at least one steam generator, an extreme challenge should be considered to exist.This Threshold Value equates to a Heat Sink RED condition. In the event either of these challenges exist at a time that the reactor has not been brought below the power associated with the safety system design (typically 3 to 5% power) a core melt sequence exists. In this situation, core degradation can occur rapidly. For this reason, the General Emergency declaration is intended to be anticipatory of the fission product barrier matrix declaration to permit maximum offsite intervention time.K-34 Rev. 48 ¶SS1 Initiating Condition Loss of All Offsite Power AND Loss of All Onsite AC Power to Essential Busses.Operating Mode Applicability: Power Operation (Mode 1)Startup (Mode 2)Hot Standby (Mode 3)Hot Shutdown (Mode 4)Threshold Value: (la AND lb AND 1c)1. Loss of all AC power indicated by: a. Loss of offsite power to OR from Start Up Transformers 1(2)A AND 1(2)B resulting in loss of all offsite electrical power to BOTH 4160V ESF busses 1(2)F AND 1(2)G for greater than 15 minutes AND b. Failure of emergency diesel generators to supply power to emergency busses.AND c. Restoration of at least one 4160V ESF bus, F OR G, has NOT occurred within 15 minutes of time of loss of all AC power Basis: Loss of all AC power compromises all plant safety systems requiring electric power including RHR, ECCS, Containment Heat Removal and the Ultimate Heat Sink. Prolonged loss of all AC power will cause core uncovering and loss of containment integrity, thus this event can escalate to a General Emergency. The 15 minute time duration is selected to exclude transient or momentary power losses.Consideration should be given to operable loads necessary to remove decay heat or provide Reactor Vessel makeup capability when evaluating loss of AC power to essential busses. Even though an essential bus may be energized, if necessary loads are not operable on the energized bus then the bus should not be considered operable.K-35 Rev. 48 ¶SS2 Initiating Condition Failure of Reactor Protection System Instrumentation to Complete or Initiate an Automatic Reactor Trip Once a Reactor Protection System Setpoint Has Been Exceeded AND Manual Trip Was NOT Successful. Operating Mode Applicability: Threshold Value: Power Operation (Mode 1)Startup (Mode 2)(1)NOTE: A successful manual trip for purposes of declaration is any action taken from the MCB that rapidly inserts the control rods. This can be accomplished by tripping the reactor using the Reactor Trip switches on the MCB OR by de-energizing both Rod Drive Motor Generator sets from the MCB.INOTE Failure of both MCB Rx Trip switches to trip the reactor meets the TV criteria of a setpoint being exceeded with no automatic trip occurring.

1. Indications exist that a reactor protection system setpoint was exceeded and automatic trip did not occur, and a manual trip did not result in the reactor being made subcritical. (NOTE)Basis: Automatic and manual trip are not considered successful if action away from the reactor control console was required to trip the reactor.The Reactor should be considered subcritical when reactor power level has been reduced to less than 5% power and SUR is negative.Under these continued power generation conditions, the reactor may be producing more heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the safety systems are designed.

A Site Area Emergency is indicated because conditions exist that may lead to imminent loss or potential loss of both fuel clad and RCS. Although this IC may be viewed as redundant to the Fission Product Barrier Degradation IC, its inclusion is necessary to better assure timely recognition and emergency response. Escalation of this event to a General Emergency would be via Fission Product Barrier Degradation or Emergency Director Judgment ICs. A manual reactor trip is considered to be a trip input to the automatic Reactor Protection System.K-36 Rev. 48 ¶SS3 Initiating Condition Loss of All Vital DC Power.Operating Mode Applicability: Threshold Value: Power Operation (Mode 1)Startup (Mode 2)Hot Standby (Mode 3)Hot Shutdown (Mode 4)(1)1. Loss of all Vital DC power to 125 VDC Bus A AND B indicated by bus voltage indications less than 105 VDC for greater than 15 minutes.Basis: Loss of all DC power compromises ability to monitor and control plant safety functions. Prolonged loss of all DC power will cause core uncovering and loss of containment integrity when there is significant decay heat and sensible heat in the reactor system.105 VDC bus voltage is based on the minimum bus voltage necessary for the operation of safety related equipment. This voltage value incorporates a margin of at least 15 minutes of operation before the onset of inability to operate those loads.K-37 Rev. 48 ¶ISS4 Initiating Condition Complete Loss of Heat Removal Capability. Operating Mode Applicability: Threshold Value: Power Operation (Mode 1)Startup (Mode 2)Hot Standby (Mode 3)Hot Shutdown (Mode 4)(la AND 1b)I NOTE: Heat Sink CSF should not be considered -RED if total AFW flow is less than 395 gpm due to operator action. I 1. Complete Loss of Heat Removal Capability as indicated by: a. Core Cooling CSF -ORANGE AND b. Heat Sink CSF -RED Basis: This Threshold Value addresses complete loss of functions, including ultimate heat sink (NSCW), required for hot shutdown with the reactor at pressure and temperature. Reactivity control is addressed in other Threshold Values.Under these conditions, there is an actual major failure of a system intended for protection of the public. Thus, declaration of a Site Area Emergency is warranted. K-38 Rev. 48 ¶ISS6 Initiating Condition Inability to Monitor a SIGNIFICANT TRANSIENT in Progress.Operating Mode Applicability: Threshold Value: Power Operation (Mode 1)Startup (Mode 2)Hot Standby (Mode 3)Hot Shutdown (Mode 4)(1a AND lb AND 1cAND 1d)1. a. A SIGNIFICANT TRANSIENT in progress AND b. Loss of most OR all (approximately 75% of the MCB) annunciators OR indicators associated with safety systems AND c. Compensatory non-alarming indications are NOT available AND d. Indications needed to monitor the Critical Safety Function Status Tree parameters are NOT available Basis: SIGNIFICANT TRANSIENT: is an UNPLANNED event involving one or more of the following: (1) automatic turbine runback greater than 25% thermal reactor power, (2) electrical load rejection greater than 25% full electrical load, (3) Reactor Trip, (4) Safety Injection Activation, or (5) thermal power oscillations greater than 10%.This IC and its associated Threshold Value are intended to recognize the inability of the control room staff to monitor the plant response to a transient. A Site Area Emergency is considered to exist if the control room staff cannot monitor safety functions needed for protection of the public.The annunciators for this Threshold Value are limited to include those identified in the Abnormal Operating Procedures, in the Emergency Operating Procedures, and in other Threshold Values."Compensatory non-alarming indications" in this context includes computer based information such as SPDS.K-39 Rev. 48 The indications needed to monitor safety functions necessary for protection of the public must include control room indications, computer generated indications and dedicated annunciation capability. The specific indications are those used to determine such functions as the ability to shut down the reactor, maintain the core cooled, to maintain the reactor coolant system intact, and to maintain containment intact."Planned" and "UNPLANNED" actions are not differentiated since the loss of instrumentation of this magnitude is of such significance during a transient that the cause of the loss is not an ameliorating factor.Quantification of "Most" is arbitrary, however, it is estimated that if approximately 75% of the safety system annunciators or indicators are lost, there is a greater risk that a degraded plant condition could go undetected. It is not intended that plant personnel perform a detailed count of the instrumentation lost but use the value as a judgment threshold for determining the severity of the plant conditions. It is also not intended that the Shift Supervisor be tasked with making a judgment decision as to whether additional personnel are required to provide augmented monitoring of system operation. K-40 Rev. 48 ¶SA2 Initiating Condition Failure of Reactor Protection System Instrumentation to Complete or Initiate an Automatic Reactor Trip Once a Reactor Protection System Setpoint Has Been Exceeded AND Manual Trip Was Successful. Operating Mode Applicability: Threshold Value: Power Operation (Mode 1)Startup (Mode 2)Hot Standby (Mode 3)(1)NOTE: A successful manual trip for purposes of declaration is any action taken from the MCB that rapidly inserts the control rods. This can be accomplished by tripping the reactor using the Reactor Trip switches on the MCB OR by de-energizing both Rod Drive Motor Generator sets from the MCB.NOTE Failure of both MCB Rx Trip switches to trip the reactor meets the TV criteria of a setpoint being exceeded with no automatic trip occurring.

1. Indication(s) exist that a reactor protection setpoint was exceeded and an automatic trip did not occur, and a manual trip resulted in the reactor being subcritical.

Basis: This condition indicates failure of the automatic protection system to trip the reactor. This condition is more than a potential degradation of a safety system in that a front line automatic protection system did not function in response to a plant transient and thus the plant safety has been compromised, and design limits of the fuel may have been exceeded. An Alert is indicated because conditions exist that lead to potential loss of fuel clad or RCS. Reactor protection system setpoint being exceeded, rather than limiting safety system setpoint being exceeded, is specified here because failure of the automatic protection system is the issue. A manual reactor trip is considered to be a trip input to the automatic Reactor Protection System or de-energizing the MG sets should initiate a manual trip.The Reactor should be considered subcritical when reactor power level has been reduced to less than 5% power and SUR is negative.K-41 Rev. 48 ¶SA4 Initiating Condition UNPLANNED Loss of Most or All Safety System Annunciation or Indication in the Control Room With EITHER (1) a SIGNIFICANT TRANSIENT in Progress, OR (2)Compensatory Non-Alarming Indicators are Unavailable. Operating Mode Applicability: Power Operation (Mode 1)Startup (Mode 2)Hot Standby (Mode 3)Hot Shutdown (Mode 4)Threshold Value: (1 AND EITHER a OR b)1. UNPLANNED loss of most OR all (approximately 75% of the MCB) annunciators OR indicators associated with safety systems for greater than 15 minutes AND EITHER a. A SIGNIFICANT TRANSIENT is in progress OR b. Compensatory non-alarming indications are NOT available Basis: UNPLANNED: a parameter change or an event that is not the result of an intended evolution and requires corrective or mitigative actions.SIGNIFICANT TRANSIENT: is an UNPLANNED event involving one or more of the following: (1) automatic turbine runback greater than 25% thermal reactor power, (2) electrical load rejection greater than 25% full electrical load, (3) Reactor Trip, (4) Safety Injection Activation, or (5) thermal power oscillations greater than 10%.This IC and its associated Threshold Values are intended to recognize the difficulty associated with monitoring changing plant conditions without the use of a major portion of the annunciation or indication equipment during a transient. Recognition of the availability of computer based indication equipment is considered. A "planned" loss of annunciators or indicators includes scheduled maintenance and testing activities. Quantification of "Most" is arbitrary, however, it is estimated that if approximately 75% of the safety system annunciators or indicators are lost, there is a greater risk that a degraded plant condition could go undetected. It is not intended that plant personnel perform a detailed count of the instrumentation lost but use the value as a judgment threshold for determining the severity of the plant conditions. It is also not intended that the Shift Supervisor be tasked with making a K-42 Rev. 48 judgment decision as to whether additional personnel are required to provide augmented monitoring of system operation. It is further recognized that most plant designs provide redundant safety system indication powered from separate uninterruptible power supplies. While failure of a large portion of annunciators is more likely than a failure of a large portion of indications, the concern is included in this Threshold Value due to difficulty associated with assessment of plant conditions. The annunciators or indicators for this Threshold Value include those identified in the Abnormal Operating Procedures, in the Emergency Operating Procedures, and in other Threshold Values."Compensatory non-alarming indications" in this context includes computer based information such as SPDS. This should include all computer systems available for this use depending on specific plant design and subsequent retrofits. If both a major portion of the annunciation system and all computer monitoring are unavailable, the Alert is required.K-43 Rev. 48 ¶SA5 Initiating Condition AC power capability to essential busses reduced to a single power source for greater than 15 minutes such that any additional single failure would result in station blackout.Operating Mode Applicability: Threshold Value: Power Operation (Mode 1)Startup (Mode 2)Hot Standby (Mode 3)Hot Shutdown (Mode 4)(la AND 1b)1. a. AC power capability to 4160V ESF busses 1(2)F AND 1(2)G reduced to source for greater than 15 minutes AND b. ANY additional single failure will result in station blackout.Basis: a single power This IC and the associated Threshold Values are intended to provide an escalation from IC SU1, "Loss of All Offsite Power To Essential Busses for Greater Than 15 Minutes." The condition indicated by this IC is the degradation of the offsite and onsite power systems such that any additional single failure would result in a station blackout. This condition could occur due to a loss of offsite power with a concurrent failure of one emergency generator to supply power to its emergency busses. Another related condition could be the loss of all offsite power and loss of onsite emergency diesels with only one train of emergency busses being backfed from the SAT, or the loss of onsite emergency diesels with only one train of emergency busses being backfed from offsite power. The subsequent loss of this single power source would escalate the event to a Site Area Emergency in accordance with IC SS1, "Loss of All Offsite and Loss of All Onsite AC Power to Essential Busses." The Threshold Values allow credit for operation of installed design features, such as cross-ties or swing diesels, provided that abnormal or emergency operating procedures address their use.K-44 Rev. 48 %Su1 Initiating Condition Loss of All Offsite Power to Essential Busses for Greater Than 15 Minutes.Operating Mode Applicability: Threshold Value: Power Operation (Mode 1)Startup (Mode 2)Hot Standby (Mode 3)Hot Shutdown (Mode 4)(1a AND 1b)1, a. Loss of offsite power to OR from Start Up Transformers 1(2)A AND 1(2)B resulting in loss of all offsite electrical power to BOTH 4160V ESF busses 1(2)F AND 1(2)G for greater than 15 minutes AND b. Emergency diesel generators supplying power to BOTH 4160V ESF busses 1(2)F AND 1(2)G.Basis: Prolonged loss of Offsite AC power reduces required redundancy and potentially degrades the level of safety of the plant by rendering the plant more vulnerable to a complete Loss of AC Power (e.g., Station Blackout). Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses.K-45 Rev. 48 51SU2 Initiating Condition Inability to Reach Required Shutdown Within Technical Specification Limits.Operating Mode Applicability: Power Operation (Mode 1)Startup (Mode 2)Hot Standby (Mode 3)Hot Shutdown (Mode 4)Threshold Value: (1)1, Plant is NOT brought to required operating mode within FNP Technical Specifications LCO Action Statement Time limit.Basis: Limiting Conditions of Operation (LCOs) require the plant to be brought to a required shutdown mode when the Technical Specification required configuration cannot be restored. Depending on the circumstances, this may or may not be an emergency or precursor to a more severe condition. In any case, the initiation of plant shutdown required by the site Technical Specifications requires a one hour report under 10 CFR 50.72 (b) Non-emergency events. The plant is within its safety envelope when being shut down within the allowable action statement time in the Technical Specifications. An immediate NOUE is required when the plant is not brought to the required operating mode within the allowable action statement time in the Technical Specifications. Declaration of a NOUE is based on the time at which the LCO-specified action statement time period elapses under the site Technical Specifications and is not related to how long a condition may have existed. Other required Technical Specification shutdowns that involve precursors to more serious events are addressed by other System Malfunction, Hazards, or Fission Product Barrier Degradation ICs.K-46 Rev. 48 ¶SU3 Initiating Condition UNPLANNED Loss of Most or All Safety System Annunciation or Indication in The Control Room for Greater Than 15 Minutes Operating Mode Applicability: Power Operation (Mode 1)Startup (Mode 2)Hot Standby (Mode 3)Hot Shutdown (Mode 4)Threshold Value: (1)1. UNPLANNED loss of most OR all (approximately 75% of the MCB annunciators) OR indicators associated with safety systems for greater than 15 minutes.Basis: UNPLANNED: a parameter change or an event that is not the result of an intended evolution and requires corrective or mitigative actions.This IC and its associated Threshold Value are intended to recognize the difficulty associated with monitoring changing plant conditions without the use of a major portion of the annunciation or indication equipment. Recognition of the availability of computer based indication equipment is considered. Quantification of "Most" is arbitrary, however, it is estimated that if approximately 75% of the safety system annunciators or indicators are lost, there is a greater risk that a degraded plant condition could go undetected. It is not intended that plant personnel perform a detailed count of the instrumentation lost but use the value as a judgment threshold for determining the severity of the plant conditions. It is further recognized that most plant designs provide redundant safety system indication powered from separate uninterruptible power supplies. While failure of a large portion of annunciators is more likely than a failure of a large portion of indications, the concern is included in this Threshold Value due to difficulty associated with assessment of plant conditions. The annunciators or indicators for this Threshold Value include those identified in the Abnormal Operating Procedures, in the Emergency Operating Procedures, and in other Threshold Values.Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses.K-47 Rev. 48 ¶SU4 Initiating Condition Fuel Clad Degradation. Operating Mode Applicability: Threshold Values: Power Operation (Mode 1)Startup (Mode 2)Hot Standby (Mode 3)Hot Shutdown (Mode 4)(1)1. RCS coolant sample activity value indicating fuel clad degradation greater than Technical Specification allowable limits as indicated by ANY of the following: Dose Equivalent 1-131 greater than 0.5 pCi/gm for greater than 48 hours Dose Equivalent 1-131 greater than Technical Specification figure 3.4.16-1.IF less than 20% power, THEN use the Dose Equivalent 1-131 20% power limit on Technical Specification figure 3.4.16-1 RCS gross specific activity greater than 10O/1 pCi/gm.Basis: This IC is included as a NOUE because it is considered to be a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant and a potential precursor of more serious problems.The Threshold Value addresses coolant samples exceeding coolant technical specifications for iodine spike. Escalation of this IC to the Alert level is via the Fission Product Barrier Degradation Monitoring lCs. Though the referenced Technical Specification limits are mode dependent, it is appropriate that the Threshold Value's be applicable in all modes, as they indicate a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant.K-48 Rev. 48 ¶SU5 Initiating Condition RCS Leakage.Operating Mode Applicability: Threshold Values: Power Operation (Mode 1)Startup (Mode 2)Hot Standby (Mode 3)Hot Shutdown (Mode 4)(1 OR 2)1. RCS Unidentified OR pressure boundary leakage greater than 10 gpm.2. RCS Identified leakage greater than 25 gpm.Basis: This IC is included as a NOUE because it may be a precursor of more serious conditions and, as result, is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. The 10 gpm value for the unidentified and pressure boundary leakage was selected as it is observable with normal control room indications. Lesser values must generally be determined through time-consuming surveillance tests (e.g., mass balances). The Threshold Value for identified leakage is set at a higher value due to the lesser significance of identified leakage in comparison to unidentified or pressure boundary leakage.K-49 Rev. 48 TSU6 Initiating Condition UNPLANNED Loss of All Onsite OR Offsite Communications Capabilities. Operating Mode Applicability: Power Operation (Mode 1)Startup (Mode 2)Hot Standby (Mode 3)Hot Shutdown (Mode 4)Threshold Values: (1 OR 2)1. UNPLANNED loss of ALL of the following on-site communications capability affecting the ability to perform routine operations: In plant telephones Public Address System Plant radio systems 2. UNPLANNED loss of ALL of the following off-site communications capability: ENN (Emergency Notification Network)ENS (Emergency Notification System)Commercial phones (Radio, PBX, Satellite, Wireless)VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol)OPX (Off Premise Extension) Basis: UNPLANNED: a parameter change or an event that is not the result of an intended evolution and requires corrective or mitigative actions.The purpose of this IC and its associated Threshold Values is to recognize a loss of communications capability that either defeats the plant operations staff ability to perform routine tasks necessary for plant operations or the ability to communicate problems with offsite authorities. The availability of one method of ordinary offsite communications is sufficient to inform state and local authorities of plant conditions. This Threshold Value is intended to be used only when extraordinary means (e.g., relaying of information from radio transmissions, individuals being sent to offsite locations, etc.) are being used to make communications possible. The list for onsite communications loss encompasses the loss of all means of routine communications. The list for offsite communications loss encompasses the loss of all means of communications with offsite authorities. K-50 Rev. 48 ¶SU8 Initiating Condition Inadvertent Criticality. OPERATING MODE APPLICABILITY Hot Standby (Mode 3)Hot Shutdown (Mode 4)Threshold Value: (1)1. An UNPLANNED sustained positive startup rate observed on nuclear instrumentation. Basis: UNPLANNED: a parameter change or an event that is not the result of an intended evolution and requires corrective or mitigative actions.This IC addresses inadvertent criticality events. While the primary concern of this IC is criticality events that occur in Cold Shutdown or Refueling modes (NUREG 1449, Shutdown and Low-Power Operation at Commercial Nuclear Power Plants in the United States), the IC is applicable in other modes in which inadvertent criticalities are possible. This IC indicates a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant, warranting a NOUE classification. This IC excludes inadvertent criticalities that occur during planned reactivity changes associated with reactor startups.This condition is identified using the startup rate monitor. The term "sustained" is used in order to allow exclusion of expected short term positive startup rates from planned control rod movements. These short term positive startup rates are the result of the rise in neutron population due to subcritical multiplication. K-51 Rev. 48 HG1 Initiating Condition HOSTILE ACTION Resulting in Loss Of Physical Control of the Facility.Operating Mode Applicability: All Threshold Value: (1)1. A HOSTILE Action has occured such that plant personnel are unable to operate equipment required to maintain safety functions..

2. A HOSTILE ACTION has caused failure of Spent Fuel Cooling Systems and IMMINENT fuel damage is likely for a freshly off-loaded reactor core in pool.Basis: HOSTILE ACTION: An act toward a NPP or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, take HOSTAGES, and/or intimidate the licensee to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land, or water using guns, explosives, PROJECTILEs, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included.

HOSTILE ACTION should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the NPP. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e., this may include violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area).VITAL AREAS: any areas, normally within the PROTECTED AREA, that contains equipment, systems, components, or material, the failure, destruction, or release of which could directly or indirectly endanger the public health and safety by exposure to radiation. PROJECTILE: An object directed toward a NPP that could cause concern for its continued operability, reliability, or personnel safety.IMMINENT: Mitigation actions have been ineffective, additional actions are not expected to be successful, and trended information indicates that the event or condition will occur.This IC encompasses conditions under which a HOSTILE ACTION has resulted in a loss of physical control of VITAL AREAs (containing vital equipment or controls of vital equipment) required to maintain safety functions and control of that equipment cannot be transferred to and operated from another location. These safety functions are reactivity control, RCS inventory, and secondary heat removal. If control of the plant equipment necessary to maintain safety functions can be transferred to another location, then the above initiating condition is not met.Threshold Value 2 should also address loss of physical control of spent fuel pool cooling systems if imminent fuel damage is likely for a freshly off-loaded reactor core in pool). If the calculated SFP "time to boil" is 2 hours or less, spent fuel damage is likely.K-52 Rev. 50 Intentionally Left Blank K-53 Rev. 50 ¶HG2 Initiating Condition Other Conditions Existing Which in the Judgment of the Emergency Director Warrant Declaration of General Emergency. Operating Mode Applicability: All Threshold Value: (1)1. Other conditions exist which in the judgment of the Emergency Director indicate that events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity QR HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.Basis: HOSTILE ACTION: An act toward an NPP or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, takes hostages, and /or intimidates the licensee to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land, or water using guns, explosives, projectiles, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. HOSTILE ACTION should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the NPP. Non- terrorism-based Threshold Values should be used to address such activities, (e.g., violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area.)This Threshold Value is intended to address unanticipated conditions not addressed explicitly elsewhere but that warrant declaration of an emergency because conditions exist which are believed by the Emergency Director to fall under the General Emergency class.K-54 Rev. 48 Intentionally Left Blank K-55 Rev.50 ¶HS2 Initiating Condition Control Room Evacuation Has Been Initiated AND Plant Control Cannot Be Established. Operating Mode Applicability: All Threshold Value: (1a AND 1b)1. a. Control Room evacuation has been initiated AND b. Control of the plant can NOT be established per AOP-28.0, Control Room Inaccessibility, within 15 minutes.Basis: Expeditious transfer of safety systems has not occurred but fission product barrier damage may not yet be indicated. The intent of this IC is to capture those events where control of the plant cannot be reestablished in a timely manner. The time for transfer is based on analysis or assessments as to how quickly control must be reestablished without core uncovering and/or core damage. The determination of whether or not control is established at the remote shutdown panel is based on Emergency Director (ED) judgment. The ED is expected to make a reasonable, informed judgment within the time for transfer that the operators have control of the plant.The intent of the Threshold Value is to establish control of important plant equipment and knowledge of important plant parameters in a timely manner. Primary emphasis should be placed on those components and instruments that supply protection for and information about safety functions. These safety functions are reactivity control, RCS inventory, and secondary heat removal.K-56 Rev. 48 ¶HS3 Initiating Condition Other Conditions Existing Which in the Judgment of the Emergency Director Warrant Declaration of Site Area Emergency. Operating Mode Applicability: All Threshold Value: (1)1. Other conditions exist which in the judgment of the Emergency Director indicate that events are in process OR have occurred which involve actual OR likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public OR HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels that exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary.Basis: HOSTILE ACTION: An act toward an NPP or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, take hostages, and /or intimidate the licensee to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land, or water using weapons, explosives, projectiles, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. HOSTILE ACTION should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the NPP. Non-terrorism-based Threshold Values should be used to address such activities, (e.g., violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area.)This Threshold Value is intended to address unanticipated conditions not addressed explicitly elsewhere but that warrant declaration of an emergency because conditions exist which are believed by the Emergency Director to fall under the emergency class description for Site Area Emergency. K-57 Rev. 48 IHS4 Initiating Condition HOSTILE ACTION within the PROTECTED AREA Operating Mode Applicability:All Threshold Value: (1)1. A HOSTILE ACTION is occurring or has occurred within the PROTECTED AREA as reported by the site security force..Basis: HOSTILE ACTION: An act toward an NPP or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, take hostages, and /or intimidate the licensee to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land, or water using weapons, explosives, projectiles, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. HOSTILE ACTION should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the NPP. Non-terrorism-based Threshold Values should be used to address such activities, (e.g,, violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area).PROJECTILE: An object directed toward a NPP that could cause concern for its continued operability, reliability, or personnel safety.This class of security events represents an escalated threat to plant safety above that contained in the Alert IC in that a HOSTILE ACTION has progressed from the Owner Controlled Area to the Protected Area.This EAL addresses the contingency for a very rapid progression of events, such as that experienced on September 11, 2001. It is not premised solely on the potential for a radiological release. Rather the issue includes the need for rapid assistance due to the possibility for significant and indeterminate damage from additional air, land or water attack elements.The fact that the site is under serious attack with minimal time available for further preparation or additional assistance to arrive requires Offsite Response Organizations readiness and preparation for the implementation of protective measures.This EAL addresses the potential for a very rapid progression of events due to a HOSTILE ACTION. It is not intended to address incidents that are accidental events or acts of civil disobedience, such as small aircraft impact, hunters, or physical disputes between employees within the PROTECTED AREA. Those events are adequately addressed by other EALs.Escalation of this emergency classification level, if appropriate, would be based on actual plant status after impact or progression of attack.K-58 Rev. 50 Intentionally Left Blank K-59 Rev. 50 ¶HAI Initiating Condition Natural and Destructive Phenomena Affecting the Plant VITAL AREA.Operating Mode Applicability: All Threshold Values: (1, OR 2, OR 3, OR 4, OR 5, OR 6)1. A felt earthquake validated in accordance with FNP-1-ARP-1.12, LOCATION MK5 indicates Seismic event greater than Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE).2.Tornado OR high winds greater than 115 mph within the PROTECTED AREA boundary AND resulting in VISIBLE DAMAGE to any of the following plant structures/equipment OR the Control Room has indication of degraded performance of any listed systems: Containment Auxiliary Building Service Water Intake Structure (SWIS) rService Water Pond Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) jCondensate Storage Tank (CST)Diesel Generator Building 3. Vehicle crash within PROTECTED AREA boundary AND resulting in VISIBLE DAMAGE to any of the following plant structures OR equipment therein OR Control Room has indication of degraded performance of those systems: Containment Auxiliary Building Service Water Intake Structure (SWIS) Service Water Pond Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) Condensate Storage Tank (CST)Diesel Generator Building 1_1 4. Turbine failure-generated missiles result in any VISIBLE DAMAGE to OR penetration of any of the following plant areas containing safety-related equipment, their controls OR their power supplies.Containment Auxiliary Building Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) Condensate Storage Tank (CST)Diesel Generator Building Control Room 5. Uncontrolled flooding in the following areas that results in degraded safety system performance as indicated in the control room OR that creates industrial safety hazards (e.g., electric shock) that precludes access necessary to operate OR monitor safety equipment. Service Water Intake Structure (SWIS)Auxiliary Building Turbine Building Basement 6. Sustained hurricane winds greater than 74 mph onsite resulting in VISIBLE DAMAGE to plant structures within the PROTECTED AREA boundary containing equipment necessary for safe shutdown, or has caused damage as evidenced by control room indication of degraded performance of those systems K-60 Rev. 48 I Basis: PROTECTED AREA: the area which normally encompasses all controlled areas within the security protected area fence.VISIBLE DAMAGE: is damage to equipment or structure that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analysis. Damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the continued operability or reliability of affected safety structure, system, or component. Example damage includes: deformation due to heat or impact, denting, penetration, rupture, cracking, paint blistering. Surface blemishes (e.g., paint chipping, scratches) should not be included.The Threshold Values in this IC escalate from the NOUE Threshold Values in HUI in that the occurrence of the event has resulted in VISIBLE DAMAGE to plant structures or areas containing equipment necessary for a safe shutdown, or has caused damage to the safety systems in those structures evidenced by control indications of degraded system response or performance. The occurrence of VISIBLE DAMAGE and/or degraded system response is intended to discriminate against lesser events. The initial "report" should not be interpreted as mandating a lengthy damage assessment prior to classification. No attempt is made in this Threshold Value to assess the actual magnitude of the damage. The significance here is not that a particular system or structure was damaged, but rather, that the event was of sufficient magnitude to cause this degradation. Threshold Value #1 is based on the OBE earthquake FSAR design basis. Seismic events of this magnitude can result in a plant VITAL AREA being subjected to forces beyond design limits, and thus damage may be assumed to have occurred to plant safety systems.Threshold Value #2 is based on the FSAR design basis. Wind loads greater than 115 mph can cause damage to safety functions and is read from the plant meteorological tower which reads up to 150 mph.Threshold Value #3 addresses crashes of vehicle types large enough to cause significant damage to plant structures containing functions and systems required for safe shutdown of the plant.Threshold Value #4 addresses the threat to safety related equipment imposed by missiles generated by main turbine rotating component failures. This list of areas include areas containing safety-related equipment, their controls, and their power supplies. This Threshold Value is, therefore, consistent with the definition of an ALERT in that if missiles have damaged or penetrated areas containing safety-related equipment the potential exists for substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.Threshold Value #5 addresses the effect of internal flooding that has resulted in degraded performance of systems affected by the flooding, or has created industrial safety hazards (e.g., electrical shock) that preclude necessary access to operate or monitor safety equipment. The inability to operate or monitor safety equipment represents a potential for substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. This flooding may have been caused by internal events such as component failures, equipment misalignment, or outage activity mishaps. TS-PSA-001, Table 3.3.6-4 provides that the SWIS is vulnerable due to failure of the cooling water lines or discharge expansion joints. The Auxiliary Building is vulnerable due to failure of the Service Water piping. The Turbine Building basement is vulnerable to Circulating Water line K-61 Rev. 48 breaks. The areas include those areas that contain systems required for safe shutdown of the plant, that are not designed to be wetted or submerged. Threshold Value #6 covers site-specific phenomena of a hurricane. The Threshold Value is based on damage attributable to the wind.K-62 Rev. 48 ¶HA2 Initiating Condition FIRE OR EXPLOSION Affecting the Operability of Plant Safety Systems Required to Establish or Maintain Safe Shutdown.Operating Mode Applicability: All Threshold Value: (1)1. FIRE OR EXPLOSION AND affected system parameter indications show degraded performance OR plant personnel report VISIBLE DAMAGE to permanent structures OR safety related equipment in any of the following VITAL AREAs Containment Auxiliary Building Service Water Intake Structure (SWIS) Service Water Pond Storage Pond Dam and Dike Pond Spillway Structure Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) Condensate Storage Tank (CST)Diesel Generator Building Control Room Basis: FIRE: is combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute FIREs. Observation of flame is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed.EXPLOSION: is a rapid, violent, unconfined combustion, or catastrophic failure of pressurized equipment that imparts energy of sufficient force to potentially damage permanent structures, systems, or components. VITAL AREA: any area, normally within the PROTECTED AREA, which contains equipment, systems, components, or material, the failure, destruction, or release of which could directly or indirectly endanger the public health and safety by exposure to radiation. VISIBLE DAMAGE: is damage to equipment or structure that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analysis. Damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the continued operability or reliability of affected safety structure, system, or component. Example damage includes: deformation due to heat or impact, denting, penetration, rupture, cracking, paint blistering. Surface blemishes (e.g., paint chipping, scratches) should not be included.The areas listed contain functions and systems required for the safe shutdown of the plant to determine if the FIRE or EXPLOSION is potentially affecting any redundant trains of safety systems.This Threshold Value addresses a FIRE / EXPLOSION and not the degradation in performance of affected systems. The reference to damage of systems is used to identify the magnitude of K-63 Rev. 48 the FIRE / EXPLOSION and to discriminate against minor FIREs / EXPLOSIONs. The significance here is not that a safety system was degraded but the fact that the FIRE /EXPLOSION was large enough to cause damage to these systems. Thus, the designation of a single train was intentional and is appropriate when the FIRE / EXPLOSION is large enough to affect more than one component. The inclusion of a "report of VISIBLE DAMAGE" should not be interpreted as mandating a lengthy damage assessment prior to classification. The occurrence of the EXPLOSION with reports of evidence of damage is sufficient for declaration. The Emergency Director also needs to consider any security aspects of the EXPLOSIONs, if applicable. K-64 Rev. 48 ¶HA3 Initiating Condition Release of Toxic, Asphyxiant or Flammable Gases Within or Contiguous to a VITAL AREA Which Jeopardizes Operation of Systems Required to Maintain Safe Operations or Establish or Maintain Safe Shutdown.Operating Mode Applicability: All Threshold Values: (1 OR 2)1. Report OR detection of toxic OR asphyxiant gas within OR contiguous to a VITAL AREA in concentrations that may result in an atmosphere IMMEDIATELY DANGEROUS TO LIFE AND HEALTH (IDLH).2. Report OR detection of flammable gases in concentration greater than the LOWER FLAMMABILITY LIMIT within OR contiguous to a VITAL AREA.Basis: VITAL AREA: any area, normally within the PROTECTED AREA, which contains equipment, systems, components, or material, the failure, destruction, or release of which could directly or indirectly endanger the public health and safety by exposure to radiation. IMMEDIATELY DANGEROUS TO LIFE AND HEALTH (IDLH): A condition that either poses an immediate threat to life and health or an immediate threat of severe exposure to contaminants which are likely to have adverse delayed effects on health.LOWER FLAMMABILITY LIMIT (LFL): The minimum concentration of a combustible substance that is capable of propagating a flame through a homogenous mixture of the combustible and a gaseous oxidizer.CONTIGUOUS: being in actual contact: touching along a boundary or at a point.This IC is based on gases that affect the safe operation of the plant. This IC applies to buildings and areas contiguous to plant VITAL AREAs or other significant buildings or areas (i.e., service water pump house). The intent of this IC is not to include buildings (e.g., warehouses) or other areas that are not contiguous or immediately adjacent to plant VITAL AREAs.Threshold Value #1 is met if measurement of toxic gas concentration results in an atmosphere that is IDLH within a VITAL AREA or any area or building contiguous to VITAL AREA. Exposure to an IDLH atmosphere will result in immediate harm to unprotected personnel, and would preclude access to any such affected areas.Threshold Value #2 is met when the flammable gas concentration in a VITAL AREA or any building or area contiguous to a VITAL AREA exceed the LOWER FLAMMABILITY LIMIT. This Threshold Value addresses concentrations at which gases can ignite/support combustion. An K-65 Rev. 48 uncontrolled release of flammable gasses within a facility structure has the potential to affect safe operation of the plant by limiting either operator or equipment operations due to the potential for ignition and resulting equipment damage/personnel injury. Once it has been determined that an uncontrolled release is occurring, then sampling must be done to determine if the concentration of the released gas is within this range.K-66 Rev. 48 ¶HA4 Initiating Condition HOSTILE ACTION within the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA or Airborne Attack Threat.Operating Mode Applicability: All Threshold Values: (1 OR 2)1. A HOSTILE ACTION is occurring or has occurred within the OWNER CONTROLED AREA as reported by the security shift supervision.

2. A validated notification from NRC of an airliner attack threat within 30 minutes of the site.Basis: Note: Timely and accurate communication between Security Shift Supervision and the Control Room is crucial for the implementation of effective Security EALs.These EALs address the contingency for a very rapid progression of events, such as that experienced on September 11, 2001. They are not premised solely on the potential for a radiological release. Rather the issue includes the need for rapid assistance due to the possibility for significant and indeterminate damage from additional air, land, or water attack elements.The fact that the site is under serious attack or is an identified attack target with minimal time available for further preparation or additional assistance to arrive requires a heightened state of readiness and implementation of protective measures that can be effective (such as on-site evacuation, dispersal, or sheltering).

Threshold 1 addresses the potential for a very rapid progression of events due to a HOSTILE ACTION. It is not intended to address incidents that are accidental events or acts of civil disobedience, such as small aircraft impact, hunters, or physical disputes between employees within the OCA. Those events are adequately addressed by other EALs.Threshold 2 addresses the immediacy of an expected threat arrival or impact on the site within a relatively short time.The intent of this EAL is to ensure that notifications for the airliner attack threat are made in a timely manner and that Offsite Response Organizations and plant personnel are at a state of heightened awareness regarding the credible threat. Airliner is meant to be a large aircraft with the potential for causing significant damage to the plant.This EAL is met when a plant receives information regarding an airliner attack threat from NRC and the airliner is within 30 minutes of the plant. Only the plant to which the specific threat is made need declare the Alert.K-67 Rev. 50 The NRC Headquarters Operations Officer (HOO) will communicate to the licensee if the threat involves an airliner (airliner is meant to be a large aircraft with the potential for causing significant damage to the plant). The status and size of the plane may be provided by NORAD through the NRC.K-68 Rev. 50 ¶%HA5 Initiating Condition Control Room Evacuation Has Been Initiated. Operating Mode Applicability: Threshold Value: All (1)1. Entry into AOP-28.0, Control Room Inaccessibility, for Control Room evacuation. Basis: With the control room evacuated, additional support, monitoring and direction through the Technical Support Center and/or other emergency response facility is necessary. Inability to establish plant control from outside the control room will escalate this event to a Site Area Emergency. K-69 Rev. 48 ¶HA6 Initiating Condition Other Conditions Existing Which in the Judgment of the Emergency Director Warrant Declaration of an Alert.Operating Mode Applicability: All Threshold Value: (1)1. Other conditions exist which in the judgment of the Emergency Director indicate that events are in process OR have occurred which involve actual OR likely potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant OR a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of intentional malicious dedicated efforts of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.Basis: HOSTILE ACTION -An act toward a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, take hostages, and /or intimidate the licensee to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land, or water using weapons, explosives, projectiles, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. HOSTILE ACTION should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the NPP. Non-terrorism-based Threshold Values should be used to address such activities, (e.g., violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area.)This Threshold Value is intended to address unanticipated conditions not addressed explicitly elsewhere but that warrant declaration of an emergency because conditions exist which are believed by the Emergency Director to fall under the Alert emergency class.K-70 Rev. 48 ¶lIntentionally Left Blank K-71 Rev. 50 Intentionally Left Blank K-72 Rev. 50 Intentionally Left Blank K-73 Rev. 50 ¶HU1 Initiating Condition Natural and Destructive Phenomena Affecting the PROTECTED AREA.Operating Mode Applicability: All Threshold Value: (1 OR2OR3OR4OR5OR6OR7)

1. A felt earthquake validated in accordance with FNP-1-ARP-1.12, LOCATION MK5.2. Report by plant personnel of tornado OR high winds greater than 115 mph striking within the PROTECTED AREA boundary.3. Crash of vehicle, large enough to cause significant damage, into plant structures containing functions or systems required for safe shutdown within the PROTECTED AREA boundary.4. Report by plant personnel of an unanticipated EXPLOSION within the PROTECTED AREA boundary resulting in VISIBLE DAMAGE to permanent structures OR equipment.

5. Report of turbine failure resulting in casing penetration OR damage to turbine OR generator seals.6.Uncontrolled flooding in the following areas: Service Water Intake Structure (SWIS)Auxiliary Building Turbine Building Basement 7. Sustained hurricane force winds greater than 74 mph forecast to be at the plant site in the next four hours in accordance with FNP-0-AOP-21.0.

Basis: PROTECTED AREA: the area which normally encompasses all controlled areas within the security protected area fence.EXPLOSION: is a rapid, violent, unconfined combustion, or catastrophic failure of pressurized equipment that imparts energy of sufficient force to potentially damage permanent structures, systems, or components. VISIBLE DAMAGE: is damage to equipment or structure that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analysis. Damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the continued operability or reliability of affected safety structure, system, or component. Example damage includes: deformation due to heat or impact, denting, penetration, rupture, cracking, paint blistering. Surface blemishes (e.g., paint chipping, scratches) should not be included.K-74 Rev. 48 These ICs are categorized on the basis of the occurrence of an event of sufficient magnitude to be of concern to plant operators. Areas identified in the Threshold Values define the location of the event based on the potential for damage to equipment contained therein.Threshold Value #1 -As defined in the EPRI-sponsored "Guidelines for Nuclear Plant Response to an Earthquake", dated October 1989, a "felt earthquake" is: An earthquake of sufficient intensity such that: (a) the vibratory ground motion is felt at the nuclear plant site and recognized as an earthquake based on a consensus of control room operators on duty at the time, and (b) for plants with operable seismic instrumentation, the seismic switches of the plant are activated. For most plants with seismic instrumentation, the seismic switches are set at an acceleration of about 0.01g.Threshold Value #2 is based on the assumption that a tornado striking (touching down) or high winds within the PROTECTED AREA may have potentially damaged plant structures containing functions or systems required for safe shutdown of the plant. The high wind 115 mph value is based on FSAR design basis. If such damage is confirmed visually or by other in-plant indications, the event may be escalated to Alert.Threshold Value #3 addresses crashes of vehicle types large enough to cause significant damage to plant structures containing functions and systems required for safe shutdown of the plant.For Threshold Value #4 only those EXPLOSIONs of sufficient force to damage permanent structures or equipment within the PROTECTED AREA should be considered. No attempt is made in this Threshold Value to assess the actual magnitude of the damage. The occurrence of the EXPLOSION with reports of evidence of damage is sufficient for declaration. The Emergency director also needs to consider any security aspects of the EXPLOSION, if applicable. Threshold Value #5 addresses main turbine rotating component failures of sufficient magnitude to cause observable damage to the turbine casing or to the seals of the turbine generator. Of major concern is the potential for leakage of combustible fluids (lubricating oils) and gases (hydrogen cooling) to the plant environs. Generator seal damage observed after generator purge does not meet the intent of this Threshold Value because it did not impact normal operation of the plant. This Threshold Value is consistent with the definition of a NOUE while maintaining the anticipatory nature desired and recognizing the risk to non-safety related equipment. Threshold Value #6 addresses the effect of flooding caused by internal events such as component failures, equipment misalignment, or outage activity mishaps. The areas included are those areas that contain systems required for safe shutdown of the plant, that are not designed to be wetted or submerged. TS-PSA-001, Table 3.3.6-4 provides that the SWIS is vulnerable due to failure of the cooling water lines or discharge expansion joints. The Auxiliary Building is vulnerable due to failure of the Service Water piping. The Turbine Building basement is vulnerable to Circulating Water line breaks causing loss of Service Air. Escalation of the emergency classification is based on the damage caused or by access restrictions that prevent necessary plant operations or systems monitoring. Threshold Value #7 covers site-specific phenomena of the hurricane based on the severe weather mitigation procedure. K-75 Rev. 48 ¶HU2 Initiating Condition FIRE Within PROTECTED AREA Boundary Not Extinguished Within 15 Minutes of Detection. Operating Mode Applicability: All Threshold Value: (1)NOTE: A fire alarm can be disproved by personnel observation of the affected area, or by resetting the PYRO panel for that alarm or for a containment fire alarm performing appropriate steps of FNP-1(2)-ARP-1.12, (MHI1).1. FIRE in buildings OR areas contiguous to any of the following areas NOT extinguished within 15 minutes of control room notification OR control room alarm unless disproved by personnel observation within 15 minutes of the alarm: Containment Service Water Intake Structure (SWIS)Auxiliary Building Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST)Diesel Generator Building Condensate Storage Tank (CST)Control Room Basis: FIRE: is combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute FIREs. Observation of flame is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed.CONTIGUOUS: being in actual contact: touching along a boundary or at a point.PROTECTED AREA: the area which normally encompasses all controlled areas within the security protected area fence.CONTIGUOUS: being in actual contact: touching along a boundary or at a point.The purpose of this IC is to address the magnitude and extent of FIREs that may be potentially significant precursors to damage to safety systems. As used here, Detection is visual observation and report by plant personnel or sensor alarm indication. The 15 minute time period begins with a credible notification that a FIRE is occurring, or indication of a VALID fire detection system alarm. Verification of a fire detection system alarm K-76 Rev. 48 includes actions that can be taken with the control room or other nearby site-specific location to ensure that the alarm is not spurious. The alarm can be determined to be spurious if it can be reset on the Pyro Panel. A verified alarm is assumed to be an indication of a FIRE unless it is disproved within the 15 minute period by personnel dispatched to the scene. In other words, a personnel report from the scene may be used to disprove a sensor alarm if received within 15 minutes of the alarm, but shall not be required to verify the alarm.The intent of this 15 minute duration is to size the FIRE and to discriminate against small FIREs that are readily extinguished (e.g., smoldering waste paper basket). The site-specific list should be limited and applies to buildings and areas contiguous to plant VITAL AREAs or other significant buildings or areas.K-77 Rev. 48 ¶HU3 Initiating Condition Release of Toxic, Asphyxiant, or Flammable Gases Deemed Detrimental to Normal Operation of the Plant.Operating Mode Applicability: All Threshold Values: (1 OR 2)1. Report OR detection of toxic, asphyxiant, OR flammable gas that has OR could enter the Owner Controlled Area in amounts greater than life threatening OR flammable concentrations that can affect NORMAL PLANT OPERATIONS.

2. Report by Local, County, O.R State Officials for evacuation OR sheltering of site personnel based on an offsite toxic, asphyxiant, OR flammable gas event.Basis: NORMAL PLANT OPERATIONS:

activities at the plant site associated with routine testing, maintenance, or equipment operations, in accordance with normal operating or administrative procedures. Entry into abnormal or emergency operating procedures, or deviation from normal security or radiological controls posture, is a departure from NORMAL PLANT OPERATIONs. This IC is based on the existence of uncontrolled releases of toxic, asphyxiant, or flammable gas that may enter the Owner Controlled Area and affect normal plant operations. It is intended that releases of toxic or flammable gases are of sufficient quantity, and the release point of such gases is such that normal plant operations would be affected. Offsite events are included through a warning by local officials as the resultant affect on NORMAL PLANT OPERATIONS would be the same. This would preclude small or incidental releases, or releases that do not impact structures needed for plant operation. The Threshold Values are not intended to require significant assessment or quantification. The IC assumes an uncontrolled process that has the potential to affect plant operations, or personnel safety.K-78 Rev. 48 ¶HU4 Initiating Condition Confirmed SECURITY CONDITION Which Indicates a Potential Degradation in the Level of Safety of the Plant.Operating Mode Applicability: All Threshold Values: (1 OR 2 OR 3)1. A SECURITY CONDITION that does NOT involve a HOSTILE ACTION as reported by security shift supervision.

2. A CREDIBLE FNP security THREAT notification.

3. A validated notification from NRC providing information of an aircraft threat.Basis: Note: Timely and accurate communication between Security Shift Supervision and the Control Room is crucial for the implementation of effective Security EALs.SECURITY CONDITION:

Any Security Event as listed in the approved security contingency plan that constitutes a threat/compromise to site security, threat/risk to site personnel, or a potential degradation to the level of safety of the plant. A SECURITY CONDITION does not involve a HOSTILE ACTION.CREDIBLE THREAT: A threat is considered credible through use of FNP-0-SP-37, Threat Assessment and Security Force Protection Recommendations. Security events which do not represent a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant are reported under 10 CFR 73.71 or in some cases under 10 CFR 50.72. Security events assessed as HOSTILE ACTIONS are classifiable under HA4, HS4 and HG1.A higher initial classification could be made based upon the nature and timing of the security threat and potential consequences. The licensee shall consider upgrading the emergency response status and emergency classification level in accordance with the site's Safeguards Contingency Plan and Emergency Plan.In Threshold

1. 1 reference is made to security shift supervision because these individuals are the designated personnel on-site qualified and trained to confirm that a security event is occurring or has occurred.

Training on security event classification confirmation is closely controlled due to the strict secrecy controls placed on the plant FNP Safeguards Contingency Plan.This threshold is based on site specific security plans. Site specific Safeguards Contingency Plans are based on guidance provided by NEI 03-12.K-79 Rev. 50 The intent of Threshold Value 2 is to ensure that appropriate notifications for the security threat are made in a timely manner. This includes information of a CREDIBLE THREAT. Only the plant to which the specific threat is made need declare the Notification of an Unusual Event.The intent of Threshold Value 3 is to ensure that notifications for the security threat are made in a timely manner and that Offsite Response Organizations and plant personnel are at a state of heightened awareness regarding the credible threat. It is not the intent of this EAL to replace existing non-hostile related EALs involving aircraft.This Threshold Value is met when a plant receives information regarding an aircraft threat from NRC. Validation is performed by calling the NRC or by other approved methods of authentication. Only the plant to which the specific threat is made need declare the Unusual Event.The NRC Headquarters Operations Officer (HOO) will communicate to the licensee if the threat involves an airliner (airliner is meant to be a large aircraft with the potential for causing significant damage to the plant). The status and size of the plane may be provided by NORAD through the NRC.Escalation to Alert emergency classification level would be via HA4 would be appropriate if the threat involves an airliner within 30 minutes of the plant.A higher initial classification could be made based upon the nature and timing of the threat and potential consequences. The Emergency Director shall consider upgrading the emergency response status and emergency classification in accordance with the FNP Safeguards Contingency Plan and Emergency Plan implementing Procedures. K-80 Rev. 50 ¶HU5 Initiating Condition Other Conditions Existing Which in the Judgment of the Emergency Director Warrant Declaration of a NOUE.Operating Mode Applicability: All Threshold Value: (1)1. Other conditions exist which in the judgment of the Emergency Director indicate that events are in process OR have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant OR indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response OR monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.Basis: This Threshold Value is intended to address unanticipated conditions not addressed explicitly elsewhere but that warrant declaration of an emergency because conditions exist which are believed by the Emergency Director to fall under the NOUE emergency class.From a broad perspective, one area that may warrant Emergency Director judgment is related to likely or actual breakdown of site-specific event mitigating actions. Examples to consider include inadequate emergency response procedures, transient response either unexpected or not understood, failure or unavailability of emergency systems during an accident in excess of that assumed in accident analysis, or insufficient availability of equipment and/or support personnel. K-81 Rev. 48 ¶E-HUI Initiating Condition Damage to a loaded cask CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY.Operating Mode Applicability: Not applicable Threshold Value: (1)1. Damage to a loaded dry fuel storage cask CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY due to natural phenomena events, accident conditions OR any condition in the opinion of the Emergency Director that affects OR causes a loss of loaded dry fuel storage cask CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY.Basis: CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY: is the barrier(s) between areas containing radioactive substances and the environment. A NOUE in this IC is categorized on the basis of the occurrence of an event of sufficient magnitude that a loaded cask CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY is damaged or violated. This includes classification based on a loaded fuel storage cask CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY loss leading to the degradation of the fuel during storage or posing an operational safety problem with respect to its removal from storage.Any condition, which, in the judgment of the Emergency Director, is a potential degradation in the level of safety of the ISFSI. Emergency Director judgment is to be based on known conditions and the expected response to mitigating activities within a short time period.K-82 Rev. 48 CG1 Initiating Condition Loss of RPV Inventory Affecting Fuel Clad Integrity with Containment Challenged with Irradiated Fuel in the RPV.Operating Mode Applicability: Threshold Values: Cold Shutdown (Mode 5)Refueling (Mode 6)(1 AND 2 AND 3)1. Loss of RPV inventory as indicated by ANY of the following: Unexplained Containment sump level rise Unexplained Reactor Coolant Drain Tank (RCDT) level rise Unexplained Waste Holdup Tank (WHT) level rise AND 2. RPV Level: a. Less than elevation 118' (Top of Active Fuel) for greater than 30 minutes OR b. RPV level CANNOT be monitored WITH indication of core uncovery for greater than 30 minutes as evidenced by ANY of the following: Incore Seal Table RE7 I greater than 450 mR/hr Erratic Source Range Monitor Indication AND 3. Containment challenged as indicated by ANY of the following: Explosive mixture inside containment greater than OR equal to 6% H 2 Pressure greater than OR equal to 5 psig WITH CONTAINMENT CLOSURE established greater than OR equal to 54 psig WITH Tech Spec containment integrity intact CONTAINMENT CLOSURE NOT established Basis: CONTAINMENT CLOSURE: per FNP-1 -STP-1 8.4, "Containment Integrity Verification and Closure".For Threshold Value 1 in the cold shutdown mode, normal RCS level and RPV level instrumentation systems will normally be available. However, if all level indication were to be lost during a loss of RCS inventory event, the operators would need to determine that RPV inventory loss was occurring by observing sump and tank level changes. Sump and tank level rises must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the containment to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage.For Threshold Value 1 in the refueling mode, normal means of RPV level indication may not be available. Redundant means of RPV level indication will be normally installed to assure that the ability to monitor level will not be interrupted. However, if all level indication were to be lost during a loss of K-83 Rev. 48 RCS inventory event, the operators would need to determine that RPV inventory loss was occurring by observing sump and tank level changes. For both cold shutdown and refueling modes sump and tank level rises must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the containment to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage.Threshold Value 2 represents the inability to restore and maintain RPV level to above the top of active fuel. Fuel damage is probable if RPV level cannot be restored, as available decay heat will cause boiling, further reducing the RPV level.Analysis in appropriate references indicates that core damage may occur within an hour following continued core uncovery therefore, conservatively, 30 minutes was chosen.The GE is declared on the occurrence of the loss or imminent loss of function of all three barriers.Based on the above discussion, RCS barrier failure resulting in core uncovery for 30 minutes or more may cause fuel clad failure. With the CONTAINMENT breached or challenged then the potential for unmonitored fission product release to the environment is high. This represents a direct path for radioactive inventory to be released to the environment. This is consistent with the definition of a GE.In the context of Threshold Value 3, CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is the action taken to secure containment and its associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under existing plant conditions. If the closure is re-established prior to exceeding the temperature or level thresholds of the RCS Barrier and Fuel Clad Barrier Threshold Values, escalation to GE would not occur.The site-specific pressure at which CONTAINMENT is considered challenged may change based on the condition of the CONTAINMENT. If the Unit is in the cold shutdown mode and the CONTAINMENT is fully intact then the site-specific setpoint is the CONTAINMENT design pressure (54 psig). This is consistent with typical owner's groups Emergency Response Procedures. With CONTAINMENT CLOSURE established intentionally by the plant staff in preparations for inspection, maintenance, or refueling the setpoint is based on the penetration seals design of 5 psig.In the early stages of a core uncovery event, it is unlikely that hydrogen buildup due to a core uncovery could result in an explosive mixture of dissolved gasses in CONTAINMENT. However, CONTAINMENT monitoring and/or sampling should be performed to verify this assumption and a General Emergency declared if it is determined that an explosive mixture exists.K-84 Rev. 48 -CSI Initiating Condition Loss of RPV Inventory Affecting Core Decay Heat Removal Capability. Operating Mode Applicability: Threshold Values: Cold Shutdown (Mode 5)(1 OR 2)1. Loss of Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) inventory affecting core decay heat removal capability with CONTAINMENT CLOSURE NOT established as indicated by: a. RPV level less than 121' (6" below Bottom ID of RCS loop)OR b. RPV level CANNOT be monitored for greater than 30 minutes with a possible loss of RPV inventory as indicated by unexplained level rise in any of the following: Containment sump Reactor Coolant Drain Tank (RCDT)Waste Holdup Tank (WHT)2. Loss of RPV inventory affecting core decay heat removal capability with CONTAINMENT CLOSURE established as indicated by: a. RPV level less than 118' (Top of Active Fuel (TOAF))OR b. RPV level CANNOT be monitored for greater than 30 minutes with a possible loss of RPV inventory as indicated by ANY of the following: Containment sump level rise Unexplained Reactor Coolant Drain Tank (RCDT) level rise Unexplained Waste Holdup Tank (WHT) level rise Erratic Source Range monitor indication Basis: CONTAINMENT CLOSURE: per FNP-1-STP-1 8.4, Containment Integrity Verification and Closure".Under the conditions specified by this IC, continued lowering in RPV level is indicative of a loss of inventory control. Inventory loss may be due to an RPV breach, pressure boundary leakage, or continued boiling in the RPV.In the cold shutdown mode, normal RCS level and reactor vessel level indication systems (RVLIS) will normally be available. However, if all level indication were to be lost during a loss of RCS inventory event, the operators would need to determine that RPV inventory loss was occurring by observing K-85 Rev. 48 sump and tank level changes. Sump and tank level rises must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the containment to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage.The 30 minute duration allows sufficient time for actions to be performed to recover needed cooling equipment. The effluent release path is not expected with closure established. K-86 Rev. 48 ¶CS2 Initiating Condition Loss of RPV Inventory Affecting Core Decay Heat Removal Capability with Irradiated Fuel in the RPV.Operating Mode Applicability: Refueling (Mode 6)Threshold Values: (1 OR 2)1. WITH CONTAINMENT CLOSURE NOT established:

a. RPV level less than elevation 121' (6" below Bottom ID of RCS loop).OR b. RPV level CANNOT be monitored WITH indication of core uncovery as evidenced by ANY of the following:

Incore Seal Table R7 greater than 6.5 mR/hr Erratic Source Range Monitor Indication

2. WITH CONTAINMENT CLOSURE established

a. RPV level less than elevation 118' (Top of Active Fuel).OR b. RPV level CANNOT be monitored WITH Indication of core uncovery as evidenced by ANY of the following:

Containment High Range Radiation Monitor R27 A OR B greater than 390 R/hr Incore Seal Table R7 greater than 450 mR/hr Erratic Source Range Monitor Indication Basis: CONTAINMENT CLOSURE: per FNP-1 -STP-1 8.4, Containment Integrity Verification and Closure".Under the conditions specified by this IC, continued lowering in RPV level is indicative of a loss of inventory control. Inventory loss may be due to an RPV breach or continued boiling in the RPV.As water level in the RPV lowers, the dose rate above the core will rise. The dose rate due to this core shine should result in up-scaled Containment High Range Monitor indication and possible alarm.Additionally, post-TMI studies indicated that the installed nuclear instrumentation will operate K-87 Rev. 48 erratically when the core is uncovered and that this should be used as a tool for making such determinations. For Threshold Value 2 in the refueling mode, normal means of RPV level indication may not be available. Redundant means of RPV level indication will be normally installed (including the ability to monitor level visually) to assure that the ability to monitor level will not be interrupted. This effluent release is not expected with closure established. K-88 Rev. 48 ¶CA1 Initiating Condition Loss of RCS Inventory. Operating Mode Applicability: Cold Shutdown (Mode 5)Threshold Values: (1 OR 2)1. Loss of RCS inventory as indicated by RPV level less than 121' 6" (bottom ID of RCS loop)2. a. RCS level CANNOT be monitored for greater than 15 minutes AND b. A possible loss of RCS inventory may be occurring as indicated by unexplained level rise in ANY of the following: Containment sump Reactor Coolant Drain Tank (RCDT)Waste Holdup Tank (WHT)Basis: These Threshold Values serve as precursors to a loss of ability to adequately cool the fuel. The magnitude of this loss of water indicates that makeup systems have not been effective and may not be capable of preventing further RPV level lowering and potential core uncovery.The Bottom ID of the RCS Loop Setpoint was chosen because at this level remote RCS level indication may be lost and loss of suction to decay heat removal systems has occurred. The inability to restore and maintain level after reaching this setpoint would therefore be indicative of a failure of the RCS barrier.In the cold shutdown mode, normal RCS level and RPV level instrumentation systems will normally be available. However, if all level indication were to be lost during a loss of RCS inventory event, the operators would need to determine that RPV inventory loss was occurring by observing sump and tank level changes. Sump and tank level rises must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the containment to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage. The 15-minute duration for the loss of level indication was chosen because it is half of the CS1 Site Area Emergency Threshold Value duration.The difference between CA1 and CA2 deals with the RCS conditions that exist between cold shutdown and refueling mode applicability. In cold shutdown the RCS will normally be intact and standard RCS inventory and level monitoring means are available. In the refueling mode the RCS is not intact and RPV level and inventory are monitored by different means.K-89 Rev. 48 SCA2 Initiating Condition Loss of RPV Inventory with Irradiated Fuel in the RPV.Operating Mode Applicability: Refueling (Mode 6)Threshold Values: (1 OR 2)1. Loss of inventory as indicated by RPV level less than 121' 6" (bottom ID of RCS loop)2. a. RPV level CANNOT be monitored for greater than 15 minutes AND b. A possible loss of RCS inventory may be occurring as indicated by unexplained level rise in ANY of the following: Containment sump Reactor Coolant Drain Tank (RCDT)Waste Holdup Tank (WHT)Basis: These Threshold Values serve as precursors to a loss of heat removal. The magnitude of this loss of water indicates that makeup systems have not been effective and may not be capable of preventing further RPV level lowering and potential core uncovery. This condition will result in a minimum classification of Alert.The Bottom ID of the RCS Loop Setpoint was chosen because at this level remote RCS level indication may be lost and loss of suction to decay heat removal systems may occur. The inability to restore and maintain level after reaching this setpoint would therefore be indicative of a failure of the RCS barrier.In the refueling mode, normal means of RPV level indication may not be available. Redundant means of RPV level indication will be normally installed to assure that the ability to monitor level will not be interrupted. Sump and tank level rises must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the containment to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage.The 15-minute duration allows CA2 to be an effective precursor to CS2.The difference between CA1 and CA2 deals with the RCS conditions that exist between cold shutdown and refueling mode applicability. In cold shutdown the RCS will normally be intact and standard RCS inventory and level monitoring means are available. In the refueling mode the RCS is not intact and RPV level and inventory are monitored by different means.K-90 Rev. 48 %CA3 Initiating Condition Loss of All Offsite Power AND Loss of All Onsite AC Power to Essential Busses.Operating Mode Applicability: Cold Shutdown (Mode 5)Refueling (Mode 6)Defueled Threshold Value: 1. a. Loss of offsite power to OR from Start Up Transformers 1(2)A AND 1(2)B resulting in loss of all offsite electrical power to BOTH 4160V ESF busses 1(2)F AND 1(2)G AND b. Failure of emergency diesel generators to supply power to emergency busses.AND c. Failure to restore power to at least one emergency bus within 15 minutes from the time of loss of both offsite and onsite AC power.Basis: Loss of all AC power compromises all plant safety systems requiring electric power including RHR, ECCS, Containment Heat Removal, Spent Fuel Heat Removal and the Ultimate Heat Sink. When in cold shutdown, refueling, or defueled mode the event can be classified as an Alert, because of the significantly reduced decay heat, lower temperature and pressure, increasing the time to restore one of the emergency busses. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses.Consideration should be given to operable loads necessary to remove decay heat or provide Reactor Vessel makeup capability when evaluating loss of AC power to essential busses. Even though an essential bus may be energized, if necessary loads (i.e., loads that if lost would inhibit decay heat removal capability or Reactor Vessel makeup capability) are not operable on the energized bus then the bus should not be considered operable.K-91 Rev. 48 ¶CA4 Initiating Condition Inability to Maintain Plant in Cold Shutdown with Irradiated Fuel in the RPV.Operating Mode Applicability: Cold Shutdown (Mode 5)Refueling (Mode 6)Threshold Values: (1 OR 2 OR 3)1. An UNPLANNED event results in RCS temperature exceeding 200OF with: a. CONTAINMENT CLOSURE NOT established AND b. RCS integrity NOT established NOTE 1 The Emergency Director should not wait until the indicated time of Threshold Values 2 or 3 has elapsed, but should declare the event as soon as it is determined that the duration has or will likely be exceeded.NOTE 2 If an RCS heat removal system is in operation within this time frame and RCS temperature is being reduced then Threshold Values 2 and 3 are not applicable

2. An UNPLANNED event results in RCS temperature exceeding 200°F for greater than 20 minutes (Note) with: a. CONTAINMENT CLOSURE established AND b. RCS integrity NOT established OR c. RCS inventory reduced.3. An UNPLANNED event results in: a. RCS temperature exceeding 200OF for greater than 60 minutes (Note)OR b. RCS pressure increasing greater than 10 psig Basis: UNPLANNED:

a parameter change or an event that is not the result of an intended evolution and requires corrective or mitigative actions.CONTAINMENT CLOSURE: per FNP-1-STP-18.4, "Containment Integrity Verification and Closure".Threshold Value 1 addresses complete loss of functions required for core cooling during refueling and cold shutdown modes when neither CONTAINMENT CLOSURE nor RCS integrity are established. RCS integrity is in place when the RCS pressure boundary is in its normal condition for the cold shutdown mode of operation (e.g., no freeze seals or nozzle dams). No delay time is allowed for K-92 Rev. 48 Threshold Valuel because the evaporated reactor coolant that may be released into the Containment during this heatup condition could also be directly released to the environment. Threshold Value 2 addresses the complete loss of functions required for core cooling for greater than 20 minutes during refueling and cold shutdown modes when CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is established but RCS integrity is not established or RCS inventory is reduced. As in Threshold Value 1, RCS integrity should be assumed to be in place when the RCS pressure boundary is in its normal condition for the cold shutdown mode of operation (e.g., no freeze seals or nozzle dams). The allowed 20 minute time frame was included to allow operator action to restore the heat removal function, if possible.Threshold Value 3 addresses complete loss of functions required for core cooling for greater than 60 minutes during refueling and cold shutdown modes when RCS integrity is established. The status of CONTAINMENT CLOSURE in this Threshold Value is immaterial given that the RCS is providing a high pressure barrier to fission product release to the environment. The 60 minute time frame should allow sufficient time to restore cooling without there being a substantial degradation in plant safety.The 10 psig pressure rise covers situations where, due to high decay heat loads, the time provided to restore temperature control, should be less than 60 minutes.The Emergency Director must remain alert to events or conditions that lead to the conclusion that exceeding the Threshold Value is imminent. If, in the judgment of the Emergency Director, an imminent situation is at hand, the classification should be made as if the threshold has been exceeded.K-93 Rev. 48 ¶CU1 Initiating Condition RCS Leakage.Operating Mode Applicability: Cold Shutdown (Mode 5)Threshold Values: 1. Unable to establish or maintain pressurizer level greater than 15%.Basis: This IC is included as a NOUE because it is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. The inability to establish and maintain level is indicative of loss of RCS inventory. Prolonged loss of RCS Inventory may result in escalation to the Alert level via either IC CA1 (Loss of RCS) or CA4 (Inability to Maintain Plant in Cold Shutdown with Irradiated Fuel in the RPV).The difference between CU1 and CU2 deals with the RCS conditions that exist between cold shutdown and refueling mode applicability. In cold shutdown the RCS will normally be intact and RCS inventory and level monitoring means such as Pressurizer level indication and makeup volume control tank levels are normally available. In the refueling mode the RCS is not intact and RPV level and inventory are monitored by different means.K-94 Rev. 48 ¶CU2 Initiating Condition UNPLANNED Loss of RCS Inventory with Irradiated Fuel in the RPV.Operating Mode Applicability: Refueling (Mode 6)Threshold Values: (1 OR 2)1. UNPLANNED RCS level lowering below 129' (RPV flange) for greater than OR equal to 15 minutes 2. a. RPV level CANNOT be monitored AND b. A possible loss of RPV inventory may be occurring as indicated by unexplained level rise in ANY of the following: Containment sump Reactor Coolant Drain Tank (RCDT)Waste Holdup Tank (WHT)Basis: UNPLANNED: a parameter change or an event that is not the result of an intended evolution and requires corrective or mitigative actions.This IC is included as a NOUE because it may be a precursor of more serious conditions and, as result, is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Refueling evolutions that lower RCS water level below the RPV flange are carefully planned and procedurally controlled. An UNPLANNED event that results in water level decreasing below the RPV flange warrants declaration of a NOUE due to the reduced RCS inventory that is available to keep the core covered. The allowance of 15 minutes was chosen because it is reasonable to assume that level can be restored within this time frame using any of the redundant means of refill that should be available. The difference between CU1 and CU2 deals with the RCS conditions that exist between cold shutdown and refueling modes. In cold shutdown the RCS will normally be intact and standard RCS inventory and level monitoring means are available. In the refueling mode the RCS is not intact and RPV level and inventory are monitored by different means.In the refueling mode, normal means of core temperature indication and RCS level indication may not be available. Redundant means of RPV level indication will normally be installed to assure that the ability to monitor level will not be interrupted. Sump and tank level rises must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the containment to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage.Threshold Value I involves a lowering in RCS level below the top of the RPV flange that continues for 15 minutes due to an UNPLANNED event.K-95 Rev. 48 2CU3 Initiating Condition Loss of All Offsite Power to Essential Busses for Greater Than 15 Minutes.Operating Mode Applicability: Cold Shutdown (Mode 5)Refueling (Mode 6)I NOTE: A NOUE should not be made for pre-planned testing such as SI/LOSP testing.I m Threshold Value: 1. a. Loss of offsite power to OR from Start Up Transformers 1(2)A AND 1(2)B resulting in loss of all offsite electrical power to BOTH 4160V ESF busses 1(2)F AND 1(2)G for greater than 15 minutes AND b. At least one emergency diesel generator supplying power to EITHER 4160V ESF buss 1(2)F OR 1(2)G.Basis: Prolonged loss of AC power reduces required redundancy and potentially degrades the level of safety of the plant by rendering the plant more vulnerable to a complete Loss of AC Power (e.g., Station Blackout). Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses.K-96 Rev. 48 CU4 Initiating Condition UNPLANNED Loss of Decay Heat Removal Capability with Irradiated Fuel in the RPV.Operating Mode Applicability: Cold Shutdown (Mode 5)Refueling (Mode 6)Threshold Values: (1 OR 2)NOTE: The Emergency Director should not wait until 15 minutes has elapsed, but should declare the event as soon as it is determined that the duration has or will likely exceed the Threshold Value.1. An UNPLANNED event results in RCS temperature exceeding 2000F.2. Loss of all RCS temperature AND RPV level indication for greater than 15 minutes.Basis: UNPLANNED: a parameter change or an event that is not the result of an intended evolution and requires corrective or mitigative actions.This IC is included as a NOUE because it may be a precursor of more serious conditions and, as a result, is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. In cold shutdown the ability to remove decay heat relies primarily on forced cooling flow. Operation of the systems that provide this forced cooling may be jeopardized due to the unlikely loss of electrical power or RCS inventory. Since the RCS usually remains intact in the cold shutdown mode a large inventory of water is available to keep the core covered. In cold shutdown the decay heat available to raise RCS temperature during a loss of inventory or heat removal event may be significantly greater than in the refueling mode.During refueling the level in the RPV will normally be maintained above the RPV flange. Refueling evolutions that lower water level below the RPV flange are carefully planned and procedurally controlled. Loss of forced decay heat removal at reduced inventory may result in more rapid rises in RCS/RPV temperatures depending on the time since shutdown.Unlike the cold shutdown mode, normal means of core temperature indication and RCS level indication may not be available in the refueling mode. Redundant means of RPV level indication are therefore procedurally installed to assure that the ability to monitor level will not be interrupted. However, if all level and temperature indication were to be lost in either the cold shutdown of refueling modes, Threshold Value 2 would result in declaration of a NOUE if either temperature or level indication cannot be restored within 15 minutes from the loss of both means of indication. The Emergency Director must remain attentive to events or conditions that lead to the conclusion that exceeding the Threshold Value is imminent. If, in the judgment of the Emergency Director, an imminent situation is at hand, the classification should be made as if the threshold has been exceeded.K-97 Rev. 48 ¶CU6 Initiating Condition UNPLANNED Loss of All Onsite OR Offsite Communications Capabilities. Operating Mode Applicability: Cold Shutdown (Mode 5)Refueling (Mode 6)Threshold Values: (1 OR 2)1. UNPLANNED loss of ALL of the following on-site communications capability affecting the ability to perform routine operations: In plant telephones Public address system Plant radio systems 2. UNPLANNED loss of ALL of the following off-site communications capability: ENN (Emergency Notification Network)ENS (Emergency Notification System)Commercial phones (Radio, PBX, Satellite, Wireless)VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol)OPX (Off Premise Extension) Basis: UNPLANNED: a parameter change or an event that is not the result of an intended evolution and requires corrective or mitigative actions.The purpose of this IC and its associated Threshold Values is to recognize a loss of communications capability that either defeats the plant operations staff ability to perform routine tasks necessary for plant operations or the ability to communicate problems with offsite authorities. The availability of one method of ordinary offsite communications is sufficient to inform state and local authorities of plant problems. This Threshold Value is intended to be used only when extraordinary means (e.g., relaying of information from radio transmissions, individuals being sent to offsite locations, etc.) are being utilized to make communications possible.K-98 Rev. 48 ¶CU7 Initiating Condition UNPLANNED Loss of Required DC Power for Greater than 15 Minutes.Operating Mode Applicability: Cold Shutdown (Mode 5)Refueling (Mode 6)Threshold Values: (la AND 1b)1. a. UNPLANNED loss of Vital DC power to 125 VDC Bus A AND B indicated by bus voltage indications less than 105 VDC AND b. Failure to restore power to at least one DC bus within 15 minutes from the time of loss.Basis: UNPLANNED: a parameter change or an event that is not the result of an intended evolution and requires corrective or mitigative actions.The purpose of this IC and its associated Threshold Values is to recognize a loss of DC power compromising the ability to monitor and control the removal of decay heat during Cold Shutdown or Refueling operations. This Threshold Value is intended to be anticipatory in as much as the operating crew may not have necessary indication and control of equipment needed to respond to the loss.105 VDC bus voltage is based on the minimum bus voltage necessary for the operation of safety related equipment. This voltage value incorporates a margin of at least 15 minutes of operation before the onset of inability to operate those loads.K-99 Rev. 48 %CU8 Initiating Condition Inadvertent Criticality. Operating Mode Applicability: Threshold Values: Cold Shutdown (Mode 5)Refueling (Mode 6)(1)1. An UNPLANNED sustained positive startup rate observed on nuclear instrumentation. Basis: UNPLANNED: a parameter change or an event that is not the result of an intended evolution and requires corrective or mitigative actions.This IC addresses criticality events that occur in Cold Shutdown or Refueling modes such as fuel mis-loading events and inadvertent dilution events. This IC indicates a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant, warranting a NOUE classification. The term "sustained" is used in order to allow exclusion of expected short term positive startup rates from planned fuel bundle or control rod movements during core alterations. These short term positive startup rates are the result of the rise in neutron population due to subcritical multiplication.

INTRODUCTION A. PURPOSE It is the objective of the Radiation Emergency Medical Plan to provide for the selection and delivery of appropriate medical care for personnel who may have been exposed to serious radioactive contamination or radiation injury, possibly concomitant with other injuries, at the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant. In the event of an accident, to ensure a smooth flow of action from initial evaluation and treatment through final disposition, knowledgeable decision making regarding medical priorities is required. Adequate arrangements for transportation of injured personnel and assurance that proper facilities as well as expert professional and paramedical services are immediately available are necessary. Through careful planning, training and practice, this objective will be accomplished. B. SCOPE The plan provides for onsite medical support and offsite medical support at three levels: primary care, definitive care, and back-up definitive care. A description of casualty flow to these facilities including action levels, transportation available and notification procedures, is given.Provisions are made for training at the local level of support to minimize the chance of an accident and to ensure that, in the event of an accident, affected personnel onsite and offsite respond appropriately without compounding the medical or radiological problems present.II. MEDICAL SUPPORT AND FACILITIES A. PLANT SITE 1. General Onsite emergency medical activities are performed by trained and qualified persons immediately available under the direction of the Emergency Director and will consist of: a. Removal of personnel from hazardous area (high radiation level or contamination levels)b. First aid for severe physical injuries c. Personnel decontamination

d. Evaluation of radiation exposure-I-Rev. 7

e. Triage of personnel An aerial view of the plant site is shown in FIGURE 1.2. Facilities The health physics and decontamination facility is located at elevation 155 of the Auxiliary Building as shown in FIGURE 2 and FIGURE 3.This facility is located near potentially contaminated and high radiation areas so that health physics support, first aid, and personnel decontamination can be effectively administered.

A Health Physics technician will normally be available at this facility.In the event of a Site Area or General Emergency when the health physics and decontamination facility might become untenable, the Nursing Station (FIGURE 4) at the Training/Visitor's Center will normally become the center for personnel first aid and decontamination activity. The necessary first aid and decontamination supplies for these facilities are listed in APPENDIX A.B. SOUTHEAST ALABAMA MEDICAL CENTER (SAMC)The Southeast Alabama Medical Center (SAMC) of Dothan, Alabama, has agreed to accept injured, contaminated and/or irradiated casualties (APPENDIX B). This hospital is a 400 bed general hospital fully accredited by the State Hospital Association and Joint Commission for Accreditation of Hospitals and Organizations. It has a modern fully equipped emergency room of sixteen suites with provisions to perform all necessary procedures; complete laboratory and diagnostic x-ray capabilities; and 13 major and 1 minor surgical suites. There are approximately 100+ members on the active staff, the majority board certified or qualified representing all major medical specialties. Space (FIGURE 5) at the hospital provides a receiving area for potentially contaminated and/or irradiated patients and has a separate entrance from the normally used emergency entrance. This facility is adequate for: 1. Personnel decontamination

2. Emergency treatment 3. Storage of emergency equipment and supplies A permanent helipad exists for air evacuation of injured or irradiated personnel via helicopter.

Communications can be established by FNP with SAMC through the hospital's switchboard or directly with the hospital emergency room.-2-Rev. 30 1O 0 Ut'--a.. M SM t~uL..I Sun -l~ ta 415. UII.

THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA HOSPITAL (RCTF)The University of Alabama Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, has agreed to admit and provide on a priority basis definitive care for contaminated and/or irradiated casualties (APPENDIX B). This hospital is a 639 bed teaching institution affiliated with the University of Alabama in Birmingham School of Medicine. It is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals and Organizations and is licensed by the Alabama State Board of Health.It is a member of the American Hospital Association, the Council of Teaching Hospitals and the Alabama Hospital Association. Its specialists in oncology, hematology, infectious disease, endocrinology, gastroenterology, nuclear medicine, radiology, and the surgical specialties render it fully capable of providing effective medical care. Already in existence are portable and fixed isolation units capable of maintaining a sterile environment. Facilities for the care of radiation emergency casualties have been developed to provide a Radiation Casualty Treatment Facility (RCTF).The RCTF consists of a nine bed unit, a nursing station, utility room, storage room, and a treatment and examination room.D. OAK RIDGE Institute of Science and Education (ORISE)Oak Ridge Associated Universities operates a Radiation Emergency Assistance Center Training Site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Its specialized facilities and staff are available for the care and treatment of possible radiation casualties from the Joseph M.Farley Nuclear Plant of Alabama Power Company in Dothan, Alabama (APPENDIX B). The ORISE-REAC/TS can accommodate approximately 20 patients who are contaminated or have received external radiation. A laminar flow facility with two sterile rooms is available for patients requiring isolation. Sophisticated whole-body counting equipment, probes for locating radioactive particles in wounds, and computer-based monitoring services are also available. The staff of the ORISE-REAC/TS has considerable experience in total-body irradiation and several have participated in the handling of previous radiation accident casualties. The nursing staff, aides and orderlies, likewise, are experienced in handling patients who have been treated with or accidentally exposed to both external and internal radiation. Full diagnostic laboratory and radiographic back-up facilities are available. A description of their facilities is given in APPENDIX E.III. RADIATION CASUALTY HANDLING PROCEDURE A. NOTIFICATION A general order of notification in the event of an incident at the Farley Nuclear Plant is given in PART I, FIGURE 24. Detailed lines of notification and communication concerning medical support are given in FIGURE 6 of this plan.-8 Rev. 24 B. ONSITE RESPONSIVE ACTION Actual or suspected radiation casualties, with or without concomitant trauma, will be moved to the primary onsite decontamination area as shown in FIGURE 2 and FIGURE 3. If this primary onsite decontamination area is unavailable as a result of the emergency, the casualties will be moved to the secondary onsite decontamination area as shown in FIGURE 4. The priority order of onsite medical emergency action will then be: 1) First aid of life-threatening or severe physical injury;2) Personnel decontamination, to the extent that trauma is aggravated;

3) Evaluation of radiation exposure, external and internal, with concomitant first aid of other injuries.The actual or suspected casualties may be grouped into three classes for triage considerations.

Class I Criteria 1) Estimated radiation dose greater than applicable 10CFR20 limits but less than 5 rem to whole body (including eyes, gonads, and blood-forming organs); or 2) Estimated radiation dose to the skin of the whole body greater than the 10CFR20 limit but less than 30 rem; or 3) Estimated radiation dose to the feet, ankles, hands, or forearms greater than the 10CFR20 limit but less than 75 rem.ACTION 1) Without trauma -Send to Southeast Alabama Medical Center (SAMC) for evaluation after clearance by Health Physics for contamination.

2) With trauma -Apply appropriate first aid then send to SAMC for evaluation.

Monitoring for contamination is desirable prior to sending the casualty to SAMC.Class II Criteria 1) Estimated radiation dose to the whole body (including eyes, gonads, and blood-forming organs) greater than 5 rem but less than 25 rem, or-97 Rev. 27 MEDICAL NOTIFICATION ORDER* If injury involves contamination, excessive exposure or if it is anticipated that injured will be admitted to the hospital for observation or treatment in excess of 48 hours duration.FIGURE 6 -MEDICAL NOTIFICATION ORDER-i0-Gen. Rev. 39

2) Estimated radiation dose to the skin of the whole body greater than 30 rem but less than 150 rem; or 3) Estimated radiation dose to the feet, ankles, hands, or forearms greater than 75 rem but less than 375 rem.Action 1) Without trauma send to SAMC for evaluation after clearance by Health Physics for contamination.

2) With trauma apply appropriate first aid, then send to SAMC for evaluation.

Monitoring for contamination is desirable prior to sending the casualty to SAMC.Class III Criteria 1) Estimated radiation dose to the whole body (including eyes, gonads, and blood-forming organs) of 25 rem or more; or 2) Estimated radiation dose to the skin of the whole body of 150 rem or more; or 3) Estimated radiation dose to the feet, ankles, hands, or forearms of 375 rem or more.4) Internal radiation exposure estimated to be significant. Action 1) Without trauma -after proper decontamination by Health Physics, send to SAMC for evaluation and potential transfer to the Radiation Casualty Treatment Facility (RCTF) in Birmingham or to ORISE-REAC/TS in Oak Ridge,Tennessee.

2) With trauma -appropriate first aid, decontamination, and send to SAMC for treatment and potential transfer to RCTF or REAC/TS.The above estimates of external and internal radiation exposures will be performed by the Health Physics staff on the basis of all available information, including dosimeters, area monitors, air monitors, and survey instruments.

Contaminated casualties sent to SAMC, RCTF, or REAC/TS will be accompanied by a person who is qualified in radiological monitoring and will stay in attendance and maintain radiological control until decontamination is complete. Contaminated casualties will be covered with suitable protective clothing or plastic sheets so as to prevent or minimize the spread of radioactive material. Radiation exposure to the vehicle operator and any attendant personnel will be-ii-Rev. 27 minimized to the extent possible, and shadow shields may be used.Inhalation of airborne radioactive material may be minimized through the use of respiratory protective devices.Each casualty will be identified before leaving the plant with a nonremovable hospital type wristband showing his name and an identification number for use for reference purposes in all communications, to avoid possible confusion in reporting estimates of radiation dose and similar matters.C. SAMC RESPONSIVE ACTION All casualties sent to SAMC will enter the Radiation Casualty/Decon-tamination area and be surveyed by qualified personnel assigned for that purpose. Emergency medical care will be provided if required together with further decontamination.

1) Criteria Those casualties with estimated radiation doses less than 25 rem to the whole body (including eyes, gonads, and blood-forming organs) and estimated from bioassay measurements and other reasons not to be bearing significant quantities of internal emitters.Action Hospitalize if necessary for continued treatment of trauma or illness; otherwise continue minor treatment, observation and evaluation on out-patient basis, after release by Health Physics personnel.

Observation and evaluation will include hematological surveys, bioassays of urine and feces, and general physical condition, including opthalmological and dermatological examinations. If evaluation so indicates (e.g., leukopenia), transfer to RCTF or REAC/TS.2) Criteria Those casualties with estimated radiation doses of greater than 25 rem to whole body, or thought from bioassay measurements and other reasons to be bearing significant quantities of internal emitters.Action Transfer to RCTF or REAC/TS (after emergency treatment of trauma or illness).In the event of mass casualties, a decision will be made as to which casualties will be sent from SAMC to RCTF, or directly to ORISE REAC/TS. This decision will be made by the Medical Director of the Southern Nuclear Operating Company or his designated alternate, with the advise of staff and consultants. Rev. 24 Contaminated and/or irradiated casualties sent from SAMC to RCTF, ORISE-REAC/TS or elsewhere, will be accompanied by a person qualified in radiological monitoring. This person will stay in attendance and maintain radiological control until the patient is transferred to a similarly qualified person at the receiving institution. All rooms, equipment, and supplies used to treat contaminated personnel will be made controlled areas and considered to be contaminated until released by the Health Physics staff.D. RCTF RESPONSIVE ACTION Casualties sent to RCTF will be met outside the building by an individual qualified in radiological monitoring, will enter through the appropriate emergency room entrance of the University of Alabama Hospital, be surveyed and then transported directly to the RCTF.

9.1 INTRODUCTION

It is imperative that Southeast Alabama Medical Center have an operational plan to safely handle any radiation accidents, even though the possibility of such occurrences is remote.Because of the proximity to Farley Nuclear Plant, Southeast Alabama Medical Center has a written agreement with the Southern Nuclear Operating Company to act as a casualty treatment center for any events occurring at that facility. The hospital, medical staff and multidisciplinary staff will be available to persons who have been exposed to serious radioactive contamination or suffer from radiation injury.This plan will be written for radiation injury patients in general, and any policies specific to the treatment of Farley Nuclear Plant occurrences will be written in parentheses, and can be ignored ii the injury was sustained elsewhere. LOCATION OF THE DECONTAMINATION AREA 1) Two designated areas have been established to handle injured patients with radiation contamination. The morgue as well as the Emergency Center decontamination room has been designated as areas for decontamination and treatment of radiation victims. If an alternative location for decontamination needs to be used, the Emergency Center Physician will so designate.

2) The Emergency Center Physician will identify which decon area will be established.

In the event of multiple contaminated patients, both decon areas may be established

3) The radiation decon supply room, located outside the Morgue, will serve as the supply room for both designed areas.4) The hallways outside the decontamination areas may be used as a holding area.5) Overflow patients are to be transported to the University of Alabama Hospital in Birmingham via MAST.6) Large numbers of contaminated victims will be treated or held in the Wiregrass Recreation Center, located on Sixth Avenue, Dothan, Alabama.Page 1 REVISED 06/99 C-4 Gen.

The second pair of gloves should be easily removable and be replaced when they become contaminated.

6. A radiation dosimeter shall be assigned to each team member, attached to the outside of the surgical gown at the neck where it can be easily read and removed.7. If available, a film badge can be worn under the surgical gown.8. Waterproof aprons should be worn by any team members using liquid in the decontamination process.9. THIS PROTECTIVE CLOTHING IS EFFECTIVE IN STOPPING ALPHA AND BETA PARTICLES BUT NOT GAMMA RAYS.10. Decrease your chances of radiation contamination by limiting the time, distance, and quantity of exposure to the sources of radiation as much as possible.,

B. PROCEDURE

FOR EXITING DECONTAMINATION AREA: 1. Remcve outer gloves, turning them inside-out as they are pulled off.2. Give dosimeter to Radiation Specialist. Ensure final dose data is recorded.3. Remove all tape at pants cuffs and sleeves.4. Remove coveralls turning them inside out. Avoid shaking.5. Remove headcover and mask.6. Remove shoe cover from one foot and get it monitored. If foot is clean, step the verified clean foot only over the the control line and onto a clean step-off pad.7. Repeat step 6 for other foot.8. Remove inner gloves 9. Conduct total-body radiological survey of each team member 10. If directed by the Radiation Specialist, take shower at the specified location, after exiting.page 19 Due Rviewed/Rviwed: 3/99 C -22 Gen. Rev. 33 RADIATION ACCIDENT PLAN Section 9.6 DECONTAMINATION OF THE RADIATION PATIENT In general, contaminated wounds and body orifices are decontaminated first, followed by areas of highest contamination levels on the intact skin. The purpose of decontamination is to prevent or reduce incorporation of the material (internal contam-ination), to reduce the radiation dose from the contaminated site to the rest of the body, to contain contamination, and to prevent its spread.A. GENERAL BODY DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURE 1. Survey the entire body and record findings on anatomical chart.2. visibly mark (as with lipstick or marker) very high level areas to receive priority.3. Contaminated patients should shower if able, using detergent of a decontaminate solution. Caution them to avoid getting water in body orifices, or to spread contamination to hairy areas initially free from radioactivity.

4. Repeat above steps.5. Proceed to next pages as needed.page 20 C -23 Gen. Rev. 33 RADIATION ACCIDENT PLAN Section 9.6 DECONTAMINATION OF THE RADIATION PATIENT B. TREATMENT OF CONTAMINATED WOUNDS 1. Assume wounds are contaminated until proven otherwise.

2. It is important to consult experts as soon as possible and to initiate measures that prevent or minimize uptake of the radioactive material into body cells or tissues.3. Drape the wound with waterproof material 4. Gently irrigate with Normal Saline, or a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution.

Collect all irrigation fluid for radiation monitoring.

5. More than one irrigation is usually necessary.

Monitor for radiation levels after each irrigation.

6. Continue process until no change is seen in radiation levels.7. After medical treatment is completed, cover wound with waterproof covering to prevent further spread of contamination.

8. If radiation levels are still dangerously high, surgical decontamination may be indicated (surgical debridement.)

page 21 C -24 Gen. Rev. 33 RADIATION ACCIDENT PLAN Section 9.6 DECONTAMINATION OF THE RADIATION PATIENT C. DECONTAMINATION OF BODY ORIFICES i. Contaminated body orifices, such as the mouth, nose, eyes, and ears, need special attention because absorption of radioactive material is likely to be much more rapid in these areas than through the skin.2. If radiation is detected in oral cavity, have patient brush teeth with toothpaste, and rinse mouth with 3%citric acid solution.3. Contaminated pharyngeal region may be treated by gargling with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution.4. If radiation has been swallowed, gastric lavage may be indicated.

5. Nose may be rinsed out with normal saline or tap water.6. Eyes should be flushed generously with normal saline, from inner to outer aspect.7. Ears should be irrigated using ear syringe, if tympanic membrane is intact.8. Reserve all irrigants for radiation detection, and continue irrigating until readings no longer improve.page 22 C -25 Gen. Rev. 33 RADIATION ACCIDENT PLAN Section 9.6 DECONTAMINATION OF THE RADIATION PATIENT D. DECONTAMINATION OF INTACT SKIN 1. Begin with the least aggressive method, and progress to more aggressive methods as needed.2. Limit mechanical and chemical abrasion to the skin as much as possible.3. Use warm solutions.

Cold solutions will close the pores and trap radioactive material within them. Hot solutions increases blood flow and would enhance absorption of radioactive material.4. Use warm water and surgical brush first. Scrub for 3 to 4 minutes. Rinse for 2 to 3 minutes. Dry. Check for radiation levels. Repeat.5. Ph neutral soap, sodium hypochlorite (diluted 1/10 in water), powdered detergent mixed with cornmeal and made into a paste by adding water, or more aggressive measures (see Farley Emergency Plan Training page 20)may be tried.6. The decontamination process stops when the radioactive level cannot be reduced to a lower level.E. DECONTAMINATION OF INTACT SKIN IN HAIRY AREAS 1. wrap or position patient to avoid spread of contamination.

2. wash with Phisohex 3. Dry with an uncontaminated towel 4. Do not shave hair (unless area is contaminated with an alpha-emitter, such as plutonium, then only as a last resort.) Hair may be cut, but do not injure skin.page 23 C -26 Gen. Rev. 33 RADIATION ACCIDENT PLAN Section 9.6 DECONTAMINATION OF THE RADIATION PATIENT F. TREATMENT OF PATIENT WITH INTERNAL CONTAMINATION

1. See Farley Emergency Plan Training page 22, for specific agents used to decorporate various radionuclides.

2. Time may be a vital element in treatment of patients with internal contamination, since radioactive materials cross cell membranes at different rates.3. The physician or Radiation Safety Officer shall request samples of urine, feces, vomitus, or wound secretions, as well as whole body assays, if internal contamination is suspected.

9.1 INTRODUCTION

It is imperative that Southeast Alabama Medical Center have an operational plan to safely handle any radiation accidents, even though the possibility of such occurrences is remote.Because of the proximity to Farley Nuclear Plant, Southeast Alabama Medical Center has a written agreement with the Southern Nuclear Operating Company to act as a casualty treatment center for any events occurring at that facility. The hospital, medical staff and multidisciplinary staff will be available to persons who have been exposed to serious radioactive contamination or suffer from radiation injury.This plan will be written for radiation injury patients in general, and any policies specific to the treatment of Farley Nuclear Plant occurrences will be written in parentheses, and can be ignored ii the injury was sustained elsewhere. LOCATION OF THE DECONTAMINATION AREA 1) Two designated areas have been established to handle injured patients with radiation contamination. The morgue as well as the Emergency Center decontamination room has been designated as areas for decontamination and treatment of radiation victims. If an alternative location for decontamination needs to be used, the Emergency Center Physician will so designate.

2) The Emergency Center Physician will identify which decon area will be established.

In the event of multiple contaminated patients, both decon areas may be established

3) The radiation decon supply room, located outside the Morgue, wil, serve as the supply room for both designed areas.4) The hallways outside the decontamination areas may be used as a holding area.5) Overflow patients are to be transported to the University of Alabama Hospital in Birmingham via MAST.6) Large numbers of contaminated victims will be treated or held in the Wiregrass Recreation Center, located on Sixth Avenue, Dothan, Alabama.Page 1 REVISED 06/99 C-4 Gen.

B. PROCEDURE

FOR EXITING DECONTAMINATION AREA: 1. Remcve outer gloves, turning them inside-out as they are pulled off.2. Give dosimeter to Radiation Specialist. Ensure final dose data is recorded.3. Remove all tape at pants cuffs and sleeves.4. Remove coveralls turning them inside out. Avoid shaking.5. Remove headcover and mask.6. Remove shoe cover from one foot and get it monitored. If foot is clean, step the verified clean foot only over the the control line and onto a clean step-off pad.7. Repeat step 6 for other foot.8. Remove inner gloves 9. Conduct total-body radiological survey of each team member 10. If directed by the Radiation Specialist, take shower at the specified location, after exiting.page 19 Dzie RcviewcdARzvised: 3/99 C -22 Gen. Rev. 33 RADIATION ACCIDENT PLAN Section 9.6 DECONTAMINATION OF THE RADIATION PATIENT In general, contaminated wounds and body orifices are decontaminated first, followed by areas of highest contamination levels on the intact skin. The purpose of decontamination is to prevent or reduce incorporation of the material (internal contam-ination), to reduce the radiation dose from the contaminated site to the rest of the body, to contain contamination, and to prevent its spread.A. GENERAL BODY DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURE i. Survey the entire body and record findings on anatomical chart.2. Visibly mark (as with lipstick or marker) very high level areas to receive priority.3. Contaminated patients should shower if able, using detergent of a decontaminate solution. Caution them to avoid getting water in body orifices, or to spread contamination to hairy areas initially free from radioactivity.

4. Repeat above steps.5. Proceed to next pages as needed.page 20 C -23 Gcn. Rev. 33 RADIATION ACCIDENT PLAN Section 9.6 DECONTAMINATION OF THE RADIATION PATIENT B. TREATMENT OF CONTAMINATED WOUNDS 1. Assume wounds are contaminated until proven otherwise.

2. It is important to consult experts as soon as possible and to initiate measures that prevent or minimize uptake of the radioactive material into body cells or tissues.3. Drape the wound with waterproof material 4. Gently irrigate with Normal Saline, or a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution.

Collect all irrigation fluid for radiation monitoring.

5. More than one irrigation is usually necessary.

Monitor for radiation levels after each irrigation.

6. Continue process until no change is seen in radiation levels.7. After medical treatment is completed, cover wound with waterproof covering to prevent further spread of contamination.

8. If radiation levels are still dangerously high, surgical decontamination may be indicated (surgical debridement.)

page 21 C -24 Gen. Rev. 33 RADIATION ACCIDENT PLAN Section 9.6 DECONTAMINATION OF THE RADIATION PATIENT C. DECONTAMINATION OF BODY ORIFICES i. Contaminated body orifices, such as the mouth, nose, eyes, and ears, need special attention because absorption of radioactive material is likely to be much more rapid in these areas than through the skin.2. If radiation is detected in oral cavity, have patient brush teeth with toothpaste, and rinse mouth with 3%citric acid solution.3. Contaminated pharyngeal region may be treated by gargling with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution.4. If radiation has been swallowed, gastric lavage may be indicated.

5. Nose may be rinsed out with normal saline or tap water.6. Eyes should be flushed generously with normal saline, from inner to outer aspect.7. Ears should be irrigated using ear syringe, if tympanic membrane is intact.8. Reserve all irrigants for radiation detection, and continue irrigating until readings no longer improve.page 22 C -25 Gen. Rev. 33 RADIATION ACCIDENT PLAN Section 9.6 DECONTAMINATION OF THE RADIATION PATIENT D. DECONTAMINATION OF INTACT SKIN 1. Begin with the least aggressive method, and progress to more aggressive methods as needed.2. Limit mechanical and chemical abrasion to the skin as much as possible.3. Use warm solutions.

Cold solutions will close the pores and trap radioactive material within them. Hot solutions increases blood flow and would enhance absorption of radioactive material.4. Use warm water and surgical brush first. Scrub for 3 to 4 minutes. Rinse for 2 to 3 minutes. Dry. Check for radiation levels. Repeat.5. Ph neutral soap, sodium hypochlorite (diluted 1/10 in water), powdered detergent mixed with cornmeal and made into a paste by adding water, or more aggressive measures (see Farley Emergency Plan Training page 20)may be tried.6. The decontamination process stops when the radioactive level cannot be reduced to a lower level.E. DECONTAMINATION OF INTACT SKIN IN HAIRY AREAS 1. wrap or position patient to avoid spread of contamination.

2. Wash with Phisohex 3. Dry with an uncontaminated towel 4. Do not shave hair (unless area is contaminated with an alpha-emitter, such as plutonium, then only as a last resort.) Hair may be cut, but do not injure skin.page 23 C -26 Gen. Rev. 33 RADIATION ACCIDENT PLAN Section 9.6 DECONTAMINATION OF THE RADIATION PATIENT F. TREATMENT OF PATIENT WITH INTERNAL CONTAMINATION

1. See Farley Emergency Plan Training page 22, for specific agents used to decorporate various radionuclides.

2. Time may be a vital element in treatment of patients with internal contamination, since radioactive materials cross cell membranes at different rates.3. The physician or Radiation Safety Officer shall request samples of urine, feces, vomitus, or wound secretions, as well as whole body assays, if internal contamination is suspected.

Rev. 21 C-35 Gen. Rev. 21 Introduction This book covers the basic principles of medical and nursing care for radiation accident victims in the hospital emergency department. Proicduru described in the text apply to the managerment of peacetime radiation accidents in industry, research, transportation. and hospitals. Although the use of radiation and radioactive materials has increased in recent years, history has shown that the probability of providing emergency medical and nursing care to a radiation accident victim patient is very low. Nevertheless, federal state, and local agencies, as well as medical accrediting groups. have encouraged better overall prepared.ness for radiological emergencies. Written emer-gency response plans should be developed. incor-porated with your overall hospital disaster plan.and supported with inservict; training and drills.This book will suggest ways of adapting your emergency response plans for rcadiation accident n .a :; .;,.-nt. Eni.hasis is on cari ;g f.or tbhl-patient contaminated with radioactive materiaL including organization of the radiological emer-gency response team, facility and staff prepara-tion, patient reception and triage, medical and decontamination pcocedurea, contamination con-trol, radiological monitoring, bioassay sampling.patient transfer, and postemergency activities. The importance of health physics support and sources of assistance are also covered. Basic information about radiation, radiobiology, radiological moni-toring equipment, and principles of radiation pro-tection are discussed. This book is designed to complement minute videotape entitled "Hospital Emergency Department Response to Radiation Accidents," which depicts a case study of emergency depart-ment respons* to both injured and uninjured con-taminated patient. Either the t'!xt or the video-tape can, however. be used in,. pendently. Gen. Rev. 21 C -36 I IQ Types of Radiation Injury Regardless of where or how an accident involv.ing radiation happens, three types of -, radiation-induced injury can occur exteni ipfa.diatioR, contamination with radioactivt iatef.ials, and incorporation of radioactive material in.o body cells, tissues. or organs.External IrradibAon External irradiation occurs when all or part ofa the body is exposed to penetrating radiation from an external source. During exposure this radiation can be absorbed by the body or it can pass com-pletel. through. A similar thing occurs durint an ordinary chest x-ray.

Rev. 21 40 Background Radiation and Radiobiology Background Radtitlo. -Radioactivity hu existed for ruillions of yetri in the crust of the earth, in building materials, in thG rood we eat- the air we breatho, and in virtutUly everything that surrounds us. Radiation from these materials. as well as cosmic radiatiK frNei the suti and universe, rmakea tip the nctu[tl bzcko ground radiation to which ve tre constantly exposed. The average individual in the United States receives a radiation dose of approximately 35 millirem per year from natural sourca.Because natural background radiation varies with altitude, it is lower than average at son level but higher than average at high altitudes. The average annual radiation dosa from man-made sources is about 103 millirem, with medical ,-rays and ,!,clear rr.edical diagnostic tests con-the I.rgepst amounts (;.rroximately 79 rial:,rem and 14. millirerm respectively). Therefore, in the United States. the typical anbucl individue.. exposure to radiation from nrtucal and mati-mtde sources totals approximately 18C millirem..Tzble 2 summarizes typical background rediation levels iW the United Stater.A few regirons around the world have "~k-ground radiation that is quite hirh (up to 2,500 millirem per year). Especially notable arm.include the Kerala region of IndiE and the stut of Espirito Santo and Rio do Janeiro in Brazil.Human populatiom in these regions have been studied for specdk diseases that might be associ-ated with high binkgrmnd radiation levels; how-ever, no statistical evidence has been found to cor-relate increased background radiation with any specific disease. Studies in the United States Also have resulted in similar findings.Occupational exposure to ionizing radiation is limited to 5.000 millirem per year for persons who work with radioactive materials or radiation-ges. crating devices and who wear dosimeters. For those persons who do not wear dosimeters. safety precautions direct that exposure be limited to 500 Tabdez I Th~d Avsnge An*,wW &pwowee to&hSviuaigPw Ul'Gibeokp'oud .U~son kv ft Lmded frdee.Keturod aourcs Fromn comnii rumatn~From ftn owt From bult inaterlui Intermuj $ouross (oments foun~d raturaft in utuan dasies)Total.

Also.the effects of ionizing radiation on biological C-38 Gen. Rev. 21 systems can be manifested aý both f,, and late elTect In general, the higher the dose the greater the severity of early effects and the greater the possibility of late effects.Exposure of the whole body to a dose greater than 100 rem resuts in a predictable set of signs and Symptoms that devlp within a few hours, days, or up to 4 weeks later, depending on the dose. These signs and symptoms are collectively called the acute radiation .yndrome, which is characterized by four distinct phases: a prodrorml period, a latent period, a period of illne, and one of recovery or death. During the prodromal period patients might experience loss of appetite, nausea. vomiting, fatigue, and diarrhem after extremely high dose& additional symptoms such u fever, prostration, respirtory distrcvr and hyperexcitability can occur. Howcveý, all of thess symptoms usually disappear in a day or two, and a symptom-free, latent period follows, varying in length depending upon the size of the radiation dose.A period of overt illness follows, and can be characterized by infection, electrolyte imbalance, diarrhea, bleeding, cardiovascular collapse, and sometimes short periods of unconsciousness. Death or a period of recovery follows the period of overt illness. Patients suffering from the acute radiation syndrome are generally admitted to the emergency lepartment during the prodro &l pariod. No* medical treatment is required for this ,paticnt. and the patient is not radioactive. initial treatment is directed to prodroma) signs and symptoms, and a good history is taken. Th defini-tive treatment of the acute radiatioi sybdtomrC is beyond the scope of this boot.Exposure of some limited ue of the bWdy (hands. feet. etc.) to ionizing radiation also results in a predictable clinical course that unfolds ovr a 2 to 8 week period. For example, epilatioa can occur in 2 to 3 weeks following 300 rem, erythema io I to 3 weeks following 600 rem, dry desquamation in 2 to 3 weeks followinl 1,200 to 1,500 rem, and blistering or wet desquamation in 3 to 5 weeks following doses greater than 2.500 rem. Radionecrosis can occur following a 5,000 rem or larger dose. Extremely high doses (greater than 10,000 rem) of ionizing radiation to localized areas of the body will acimlerate thG expression of injury with the radiation insult. Like the person suffering from the acute radiation syn.drome, the individutl experiencing localized radia-tion problems is not radioactive and dos not require any etaergeacy medical interventioi. Phys-ictl traume to the irradiated reu should be avoidCA Followine exterdn] contamination. overt signs or symptoms are rrely Seeu in patients entering the hospital emergency department. However, exter-nally deposited radionuclides should be removed as soon u possible. Internal with radioactive riaterixls can result in biological dam..age. The severity of the damage depends on the amount of radionuclide deposited, its chemical form, the target organ, and the rate of elimination from the body. Each radionuclide has an adminis.tratively determined maximum safe intake limit, based On the typa of radiations emitted and their energie. This limait is defined as the maximum permissibkc -body butdin (MPBB) or maximum permiusible orvgp- burder (MPOB). Exact levels of internuly depwited radioactive materials ar io ausss especially in the emergency medical szting. lha iiportazt point is that every effort ihouvd" be made to decontaminate accident victims as thoroughly as possible whether they are externally or internally contaminated. C-39 Gen. Rev. 21 is Radiation Protection Principles There are four basic radiatiou proteciion princi-pies that can be employed to reduce exposure to ionizing radiation. These principles are based on consideration of four radiation protection factOFs that alter radiation dose: time, distance, shieldin$. and quantity.Thae Time is an important factor in radiation protec.tion. This principle states that the shorter the time spent in a radiation field, the less radiation will be accumulated. Depending on the activity present, radioactive material will emit a known amount of radiation per unit time. Many radiation monitor.ing devices measure exposure in milliroentgens (mR) -cr hour. An exposure rate of 60 mR/hr r-.e.jr "3t for each minute spent in a radiation iield.

• eron will receive a l-mR exposure (00 1,R:..,, -60 ;airif 1 hr -I fiilk/rain). .%sLy, the longer a person remains in a radiation field.the more radiation that person will accumulatt.

A rotating teami approach can be used to keep individual radiation exposurw to r minimum tt lonC as patient cara if5 wt comprovnti. nd rW'personnel ire .vadilable. Distance tral/lir to 32 mft/hr, a factor of four. Figurt I illustrates the inverse square law.Shielding The third radiation protection factor is shielding. The principle follows that the denser a material, the greater it its ability to stop the pas..sage of radiation. In most cam., high-density materials such us lead are used as shields against radiation. Portable lead or concrote shields are sometimes used when responding to accidents where contamination levels are way high. In addi-tion, some specialty centers for radiation accident management havo constructed shielded surgical tables for protection. Such measures are, however, not recommended in the community hospital.In emergency management of the contaminated patient. shielding is limited to standard surgical clothing with slight modifications (see page 12 ).Surgical clothing will protect the individual against contamitiation, and alto will stop the pas-sage of all dpha and some betu radiation. How-ever, it doe noW stop penetrating gamma rmdiA-tiou. In thG hospital emergency departnent shield-ing is nctu. liwited to antieiunmination mea-sure, and the principles of time and distance are used to reduce radiation exposure.QuantIty The fourth radiation protectioa factor is quantity. Because the exposure rate from a given radioactive material is directly Melated to the amount or quantity of the material present, the principle involves limiting the quantity of radioac-tive material in the working area to decrease radi-ation exposum. Any technique that reduces the amount of radiation or radioactive material in the treatment arme is very useful.By using these radiation protection principles. emergency department personnel can adequately care for the patient's medical needs while keeping The second radiation protection factor is divtance, and the principle is the farther a person is from a soum of radiation., the lower the radia-" tion dose. Thb prncite is known as the inverse square law. By measuing the radiation exposure rate at a given distance from a source of radiation and then doubling the distance from the source, the intensity of the radiation is decreased by a factor of four. For example, a source of radiation that measures 8 mR/hr at 2 feet from a source would measure only 2 mR/hr at 4 feet. Con-versely. when the distance from the source of radi-ation is reduced by half. for example, from 2 feet to I foot, the exposure rate increases from I C-40 Gen. Rev. 21 their own radiation exposure as low as reasonably achievable. This concept is known as ALARA and is summariod below: ALARA Techniques: (keeping radiation exposures As Low As Reasonably Achievable)

Wound decontiamnation ig accomplished by gently irrigating with saline.water. or a 3-parunt hydrogen peroxide solution.Irrigation fluid should be collected and chocked with a radiatim monitor to judge the effe'tivenes of decontamination. More than one irrigation is usually necessary. The wound should be monitored after each irrigation.

Following irri&tioae, the wound is treated likr any other woun. if the preceding decontamination procedures ar not successful, apply a constriction band to increase blood flow and to help remove contamination from the wound. If this is unsuccessful and the contamination level is still seriously high, surpieW decontamination, which is identical to conves-tional debridement of a wound, must be cosid-ered.

If addition, some authoritiem have been assigeed responsibilities for resolving radiological incidents. Hospital emergency department personnel should be aware of these.sources of assistance. However, promptly needed treatment must not be comn-promised by attempts to notify specific authoritie. Sources of assistance exist at the local, state, and national levels. Call lists should be prepared to include I. Local medical facility staffed by personael trained in aspects of radiation accident management.

Rev. 16 INTRODUCTION Through a contractual agreement with the Alabama Power Company (APC), a Radiation Casualty Treatment Facility (RCTF) has been established at the University of Alabama Hospital to provide the medical services of a multidisciplinary staff to persons who have been exposed to serious radioactive contamination or suffer from radiation injury.Through renovation, portions of the physical facilities in the Emergency Department and on the northeast wing of the 9th floor of the Spain Wallace Building have been transformed into the RCTF for treating and housing casualties. I The RCTF consists of a 9 patient room unit housing a maximum of nine casualties, a nursing station, utility room, storage cabinet, treatment and examination rooms, and triage area.The RCTF has been established primarily for the APC employee who has been contamineteh and/or irradiated at the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant. However, with the permission of the APC, the facility may be used for treating persons injured in radiation accidents occurring at other sites. The facility may also be used by the Hospital on a day-to-day basis for other medically important purposes.1 Where instructions in this plan refer to RCTF Facilities located in the Emergency Department and triage area. this will be designated RCTF-ED. Where instructions refer to facilities located on 9 north/east nursing unit, this will be designated RCTF-9N/E Wallace.D-42 Rev. 16 The University of Alabama Hospitals has prepared an Emergency Radiation Plan which is presented on the pages that follow. Included in the Emergency Radiation Plan are:-Three distinct procedures for initiating an EMERGENCY TYPE R:-A call list containing the names of those persons and their alternates who are to be notified of an EMERGENCY TYPE R: Standard operating procedures of the various departments and units responding to an EMERGENCY TYPE R.NOTIFICATION-I An accident occurs at the Joseph M.

Rev. 16 D-53 (This page intentionally blank)D-54 Gen. Rev. 16 A. RADIATIC kFETY DIVISION ENIERGENt.. i TYPE R Once the Ra,.:iri.n Safety Officer (RSO) ht.is been notified oC the nature of the emergency, h- will make use of all availa..ic information given to him by the Administrator on duty to aid in the provision of appropriate health physics support.Depending on the information given, the RSO may: request support in having the available portable radiation shadow shields on 6NW Spain Wallace delivered to the Emergency Department, and to obtain help, page or call Environmental Services supervisor. The RSO will then contact his assistant (ARSO), give a brief description of the situation, the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of the casualties, and the additional equipment and supplies that would be needed. He will then proceed directly to the radiation safety office. (In the event of Notification II or III, the RSO will proceed directly to the RCTF-ED after notifying the ARSO.) The ARSO then alerts the other members of the radiation emergency response team, notifying as many of them (See the call list in Attachment A-1) as is possible. He will relate the ETA of the radiation casualties at the RCTF-ED and have each individual notified give their own ETA at the RSD office. Once the available members of the response team have been contacted, the ARSO will call the Radiation Safety Office and give the RSO the status of team response and the ETA for the team. The RSO will then notify the Emergency Department, give the ETA of the radiation emergency response team at the RCTF-ED, and obtain information on any developments. The RSO will then notify the Director of the Occupational Health and Safety Department, and briefly apprise him of the situation. Time permitting, he will attempt to call some of the team members who could not be contacted earlier. If contacted, they would be told to proceed directly to the RCTF-ED.14 D-55 Gen. Rev. 16..... ....... .I Upon the arrival of team members, they will gather designated equipment and supplies (See Attachment A-2) and any additional equipment and supplies, as directed by the RSO. The RSO will assign or reassign team duties depending on team response. As soon as the ARSO arrives at the Radiation Safety Office, he will assume command of the team, and the RSO will then immediately proceed to the RCTF-ED where he will be briefed by the Medical Director on the current situation and the medical priorities. The rest of the team will proceed to the RCTF-ED after arranging for transport of the equipment and supplies needed there. If casualties have already arrived at the RCTF-ED when alerted, the RSO shall pick up a GM survey meter with a thin window probe, a portable ionization chamber meter, and a neutron meter (if necessary). Following the briefing given by the Medical Director, the RSO will then prepare the RCTF-ED for the radiation control necessary for handling radioactively contaminated casualties. He will ensure that adequate security against unauthorized entrance to the RCTF-ED is provided. He will see that the seldom used stairwell at the rear of the facility is roped off with affixed Radiation area caution signs to warn those who might approach the facility during the radiation emergency. He will also ensure that the metal, roll-up door separating the RCTF-ED from the rest of the Emergency Department is closed, and that the special air flow system is activated. RADIATION MONITORING STATIONS Background surveys of radiation levels in all areas within RCTF-ED will be performed prior to the arrival of the radiation casualties. These will serve as a baseline from which to evaluate all levels of radiation measured during casualty treatment. 15 D-56 Gen. Rev. 16 Upon the arrival of the RSD emergency response team, the RSO will see that the radiation monitoring stations are set up in Room 10 and Room II of the RCTF-ED.These rooms will provide radiation control and survey points to limit the spread of any radioactivity which might be brought within the boundaries of the designated "hot areas" in the facitity. Room number 11 is expected to be the most contamination free of all the areas of the RCTF-ED, and any contamination that occurs on the floor covering will be immediately cut out, and the floor recovered and resurveyed as free of contamination. With the exception of the casualties, support health physics personnel (from Alabama Power Company), and the "ambulance reception team", only authorized personnel will be allowed to enter the RCTF-ED from the front of the Emergency Department and only through this room. Once contaminated casualties have been taken into the facility, radiation surveys for "contamination free" clearances and authorization to leave the facility, will be initiated and performed here. No individual will be allowed to leave unless they have been given the proper clearance to do so. Only the "exit monitor", designated by the RSO, will have the authorization to grant this clearance. The exitmonitor will be stationed in Room II at the entrance to Room 10 performing the final survey of individuals as they leave Room 10 crossing into Room 11. Room 11 will also be used by the radiation team dosimetry technician for the distribution of the personnel radiation badges, the direct-reading dosimeters, and the protective clothing.All documentation involving the issue of the badges and dosimeters and their readings will be maintained here. The 5OR gamma radiation dosimeters will be issued only if the RSO determines that expected radiation levels from casualties will require their use. If so, these will be issued in addition to the 5R gamma dosimeters and the 5R neutron dosimeters issued only to those physicians and nurses attending those casualties with the highest contamination rates. To avoid confusion during distribution, protective clothing and radiation monitoring equipment shall be kept together in a labeled plastic bag for 16 D-57 Gen. Rev. 16 each individual assigned to the entire emergency response team. This will enable the quick preparation of eachl o)C the members of the response team. Half-face respirators shall be included only if the RSO determines that this is necessary for the safety of all personnel involved. The direct reading dosimeters within each bag shall be zeroed by the team dosimetry techAK'.o. The names of all personnel entering the RCTF-ED through this point will be recorded by the dosimetry technician. After casualty treatment has been initiated, the dosimetry technician will collect the dosimeters (if they are unneeded elsewhere) and take the readings of all direct reading dosimeters of individuals leaving Room I I. Changes in the protective clothing of anyone leaving the"hot area" of the facility will occur there in Room 10. The floors of all of the room within the RCTF-ED (including Room 11) will be completely covered with water proofed bench paper.Room 10 will serve as a cross-over control area between two different radiation zones;the designated "hot area" where the casualties will be treated and the contaminated free area of Room 11. The often used light switches, other switches or buttons, and door knobs in these two rooms will be covered with plastic bags taped over them in a manner that will allow them to function properly. RSD team "crossover monitors" will monitor all individuals, materials, and equipment entering Room 10 from the radiation casualty treatment room. Materials and equipment that are contaminated (as shown by survey) shall be placed and sealed in plastic bags. Any contaminated articles or clothing belonging to casualties and specimens designated for laboratory work will also be placed in plastic bags, labeled, and properly documented. Specimen control numbers will be utilized to identify casualty specimens. If necessary, the laboratory specimens will be placed in special containers made of lead to provide adequate shielding. A designated member of the RSD response team will accompany any laboratory specimens 17 D-58 Gen. Rev. 16 sent to the clinical laboratory for analysis. The laboratory request form shall note the amount of contamination, if any, on any specimen. "No contamination" indications would also be noted thereon for samples with no contamination (Also refer to Laboratory Procedure Section C). Both the individual dispatched to the clinical laboratory and the specimen containers will be checked for contamination upon leaving Room 10. It there'is no contamination that resides with any of the specimens taken to the clinical laboratory, this individual will return to the RCTF-ED. If, however, there are indications of contamination on these samples, this individual will remain at the clinical laboratory to supervise the radiation safety aspects in handling these specimens. Specimens shall be refrigerated. Portions of specimens intended for radioactive analysis only, shall be dispatched to the Radiation Safety Division, Room 445 CHSB, by a separate individual and analyzed there for radioisotope identification and quantification. At the early stages of response there will be no provision to decontaminate any equipment unless it is absolutely required for use. Any contaminated articles belonging to the casualties will not be decontaminated but only saved for further analysis later in radiation dose measurement. RADIATION CASUALTY TREATMENT ROOM No individual, other than members of the RSD radiation emergency response team, shall be allowed to enter this area without the permission of the physicians or charge nurse.Those that have this authorization shall be required to wear one scrub suit and one operating gown, caps, surgical masks, shoe covers, and surgical gloves (double glove made of latex). Disposable utility uniforms, maintained in the UED, maybe worn as an 18 G R-59-. Gen. Rev. 16 alternative to the surgical gown. However, a plastic apron must also be worn to provide a fluid barrier. The sleeves and legs of the scrub suits will be taped to wrists and ankles, respectively. The RSD personnel will work together with the UED personnel and help each other with their protective clothing. The RSO must ensure that adequate protective clothing is provided and properly worn by all emcr1ency response personnel. During use, the outer latex gloves of all personnel should be surveyed frequently and should be changed as often as is reasonably achievable to minimize the spread of radioactive contamination. If half-face respirators are required by the RSO, these will be periodically surveyed for contamination deposits near the air inlets to the masks.AMBULANCE AND CASUALTY RECEPTION When the casualties arrive at the RCTF-ED via the 6th Avenue South rear entrance (See Appendix I for the entrance route), the RSD "Ambulance Reception Team" shall monitor the exposure rate at the vehicle door if contamination is suspected. An immediate check for removable contamination shall be made by two members of the reception team working together. One of these individuals, using serially numbered filter paper, will take wipe samples of the vehicle's interior and articles within the vehicle. Each of the wipe samples will be monitored separately at a distance from the vehicle by the other individual. A thin-window GM probe and neutron detector will be used to determine if any contamination is present on any of the wipe samples. Any contaminated articles will be immediately bagged, labeled secured, and shielded (if necessary). All wipe samples will be placed in glassine envelopes and saved for further analysis. A wipe sample survey worksheet shall be utilized to document the preliminary results of these contamination surveys. The radiation levels of the wipe samples at a near but not touching distance will be recorded on this worksheet. It is very important that proper 19 D-60 Gen. Rev. 16 documentation be maintained at all stages of team response. The names of all radiation casualties, ambulance attendants, and other individuals arriving with the ambulance will be documented on the vehicle survey worksheet. If there is evidence of contamination, and it is necessary to transfer the casualties to the RCTF-ED for emergency care, the casualties shall be wrapped in at least two sheets before leaving the vehicle. If casualties are contaminated with activities giving instrument readings (at contact) greater than 10,000 cpm, and if emergency care is not immediately necessary, their clothing shall be replaced with hospital gowns or scrub suits. Protective shoe covers should be placed on their feet as they leave the vehicle.They will then be taken to an area away from the vehicle where they will be scanned with a partial body counter to obtain more information concerning the radiation contaminants. CASUALTY RECEPTION AREA RSD "casualty treatment monitors" shall monitor the casualties taken to the receiving area of the radiation casualty treatment room. There, all contaminated clothing and personal items shall be placed in bags and labeled. They will place the bags in the 55 gallon barrels until such time as the contents may be properly decontaminated or disposed. Sufficient numbers of barrels and plastic bags shall be available to handle contaminated articles. The casualty treatment monitors shall also establish time limits so that no individual shall receive more than a 25 rem dose. The direct reading dosimeters and other dosimeters will be read as frequently as necessary to insure that no individual even closely approaches the 25 rem limit. Portable lead shields will be utilized and positioned to minimize occupational exposure and exposure to other victims.If necessary, plans will be made by the RSO to utilize the large lead shadow shields 20 D-61 Gen. Rev. 16 available from the GYN Oncology nursing unit (6NW Spain-Wallace) and (9NW).After emergency care has been given and the casualties have been decontaminated, they shall have to be moved to Room 10 to be monitored by the designated "crossover monitors" stationed there. Before this is done, the crossover monitors will put down new floor covering in this room. Next, clean stretchers will be passed into Room 10 through Room 11. Then the casualties will be brought into Room 10 and placed ont he stretchers. Before transferring the casualties to Room 11, they will be monitored again by the exit monitor stationed in Room 11. There they can then be given clearance for departure from the RCTF-ED, at which time they shall then be transported (to OR. or RCTF-9NE Wallace) along designated routes cleared by the RSD "route team" and police officers.After consultation with the RSO regarding the contamination rate, should the physician decide that a casualty must be sent to O.R. without first being decontaminated, the following procedures shall apply: 1. The contaminated portions of the casualty shall be covered with two layers of protective covering such as one cotton sheet covered with one plastic sheet.2. If the casualty is exhaling contamination or if airborne contamination exists, the casualty and attending personnel must wear surgical masks.3. The casualty shall be transferred to a clean stretcher following procedures previously described.

4. RSD route team and police officers shall seal the pathway to O.R.All removal of the protective clothing and personnel monitoring equipment shall be under the direction of the RSO or his assistant.

If further care is needed by one of the responding physicians or nurses at the O.R. then more protective garb shall be 21 D-62 Gen. Rev. 16 issued at that site.Upon completion of RCTF response all personnel shall be surveyed for radioactive contamination. This survey shall consist of external monitoring and analysis of nasal smears, skin wipes, and urine specimens.
