Procedure Change Summary Analysis Procedures/Titles Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) is submitting the following Emergency Plan Annex revisions for Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Station (Calvert Cliffs), Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station (NMP) and the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Station (Ginna):
- EP-AA-1011, Revision 1, "Exelon Nuclear Radiological Emergency Plan Annex for Calvert Cliffs Station"
- EP-AA-1012, Revision 3, "Exelon Nuclear Radiological Emergency Plan Annex for Ginna Station"
- EP-AA-1013, Revision 2, "Exelon Nuclear Radiological Emergency Plan Annex for Nine Mile Point Station" Description of Procedures These documents are the Emergency Plan Station Annexes for the cited plants. Discussion of Changes 1. Training Frequency Revision (Calvert Cliffs, Ginna, and Nine Point) Description of Changes By letter dated July 29, 2015, Exelon submitted a License Amendment (LAR) pursuant to 1 O CFR 50.90 to define the annual training frequency for Exelon ERO personnel for the facilities noted below as "once per calendar year not to exceed 18 months between training sessions."
- Calvert Cliffs
- Nine Mile Point
- R.E. Ginna Subsequently, by letter dated March 17, 2016, the NRC approved the LAR (reference ML 15352A 164). Planning Standard 10 CFR 50.47(b)(15) specifies that Radiological Emergency Response Organization (ERO) training is provided to those who may be called on to assist in an emergency.
This is further expanded in regulatory guidance provided in NUREG-0654, Revision 1 , "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants, "which specifies that organizations shall establish specialized initial and periodic retraining programs for those who may be called on to assist in an emergency.
- The proposed changes would revise the description of Emergency Response Organization (ERO) requalification training frequency defined in the station Emergency Plans listed above. The proposed frequency will be defined as "once per calendar year not to exceed 18
- Attachment 1 Page 2 of 8 months between training sessions." In this context, training session refers to the annual requalification training received by the ERO. Description of How the Change Still Complies with Regulations The revision to the ERO training frequency for the noted stations was approved by the NRC as documented in a letter and supporting Safety Evaluation Report (SER) dated March 17, 2016. The NRC approved the training frequency where annual training is defined as "is defined as once per calendar year not to exceed 18 months between training sessions. " Description of Why the Change is Not a Reduction in Effectiveness (RIE) This is a conforming change to an NRG-approved and supporting SER. Further evaluation under the 1 O CFR 50.54(q) process is not required based on the guidance specified in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.219, "Guidance on Making Changes to Emergency Plans for Nuclear Power Reactors," Section 5.1.a. 2. On-Shift Staffing Requirements (Calvert Cliffs) Description of Changes A change is being made to Figure 2-1, "Minimum On-Shift Staffing Requirements," to reflect the number of persons required to support the Fire Brigade. This is an enhancement to allow the Figure to provide a comprehensive view of the required on-shift staff. The actual number of persons on the Calvert Cliffs Fire Brigade has not changed as a result of this revision.
Note that the number of Fire Brigade members is evaluated under 1 O CFR 50, Appendix R, and not under 1 O CFR 50.54(q).
Description of How the Change Still Complies with Regulations The Calvert Cliffs Emergency Plan Annex Figure 2-1, "Minimum On-Site Staffing Requirements" table is being revised to reflect the actual Fire Brigade compliment required on shift. The actual Fire Brigade requirements for Calvert Cliffs are found in Updated Final Safety Analysis Report () Section 9.9.5, which states: 9.9.5 FIRE BRIGADE; COMPOSITION, RESPONSIBILITY, AND TRAINING Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant has a designated fire brigade of at least five members available on each shift. Members of the fire brigade do not include the minimum operations shift crew necessary for safe shutdown of both units. The fire brigade is trained and equipped to respond to fire-related emergencies at CCNPP. A mutual aid agreement has been established with off-site fire departments to provide assistance to the plant fire brigade on an as-needed basis. The on-shift fire brigade will be staffed with a fire brigade leader and at least two fire brigade members that have sufficient training and knowledge of nuclear safety systems to understand the effects of fire and fire suppression on nuclear safety performance criteria.
The sufficient training and knowledge is permitted to be provided by an Operations Technical Advisor dedicated to respond with the fire brigade.
Attachment 1 Page 3 of 8 A note (f) has been added to Figure 2-1 to explain the role of the Operations Advisor on the Fire Brigade and that an extra person may be required on shift if the Fire Brigade does not have sufficient nuclear safety system training and knowledge.
Description of Why the Change is Not a Reduction in Effectiveness (RI E) This is considered an editorial change to the table in that the actual Fire Brigade requirements are determined and evaluated under 1 O CFR 50, Appendix R and the site UFSAR. The number is placed in the Emergency Plan as an enhancement to allow reviewers to identify the total on-shift compliment on one (1) table. Changes to the Fire Brigade compliment will continue to be made in accordance with 1 O CFR 50, Appendix R and not 1 O CFR 50.54(q).
- 3. Manual Dose Assessment (Ginna) Description of Changes A change is being made to the Ginna Emergency Plan Annex to remove reference to the manual method to perform dose assessment.
The manual method was Ginna's original means of assessing projected doses resulting from accident conditions.
Subsequently, more sophisticated versions of Dose Assessment software were developed and added to the Emergency Plan; however, the description of the manual method was retained.
RG 1.219 allows changes to the Emergency Plan to re-establish the last NRG-approved licensing basis as long as the changes were based on an operating philosophy to exceed minimum requirements and not a done to compensate for special circumstances which existed at the, time of the change (e.g., performance issues or other deficiencies).
Description of How the Change Still Complies with Regulations Planning Standard 1 O CFR 50.47(b)(9) states that adequate methods, systems and equipment for assessing and monitoring actual or potential offsite consequences of a radiological emergency condition are in use. Furthermore, NUREG-0654,Section II.I, Accident Assessment Evaluation Criteria II.I ensures, with respect to Dose Assessment, that:
- Methods to be used for determining the source term of releases of radioactive material within plant systems are established as well as the magnitude of the release of radioactive materials based on plant system parameters and effluent monitors.
- Each licensee shall establish the relationship between effluent monitor readings and onsite and offsite exposures and contamination for various meteorological conditions.
- Each licensee shall establish the methodology for determining the release rate/projected doses if the instrumentation used for assessment are offsca/e or inoperable.
- Each organization, where appropriate, shall provide methods, equipment and expertise to make rapid assessments of the actual or potential magnitude and locations of any radiological hazards through liquid or gaseous release pathways.
- Each organization shall establish means for relating the various measured parameters (e.g., contamination levels, water and air activity levels) to dose rates for key isotopes.
- Attachment 1 Page 4 of 8 Ginna's Emergency Plan Annex currently describes how the station meets these requirements.
Specifically, the Emergency Plan discusses multiple means to perform Dose Assessment including a procedure based manual method, a computer spreadsheet which mimics the manual methodology, and a sophisticated computer method which incorporates updated industry guidance.
Ginna utilizes the sophisticated URI computer-based program to perform dose assessments with their ERO, including on shift. The inclusion of the additional methods in the Emergency Plan exceeds the requirements of NUREG-0654.
Background A review of the historical licensing basis documentation was performed to establish the licensing basis and identify the reasons for including the three (3) dose assessment methods in the Emergency Plan. This review included a comparison of the initial Revision O licensing basis and subsequent revisions to the Emergency Plan with respect to dose assessment capabilities.
Ginna's initial Revision O to the site Emergency Plan contained the following description of the Dose Assessment capabilities.
A procedure for estimating off-site doses for areas around the plant is used at the TSC and EOF. Based upon these results, protective actions can be recommended As required by NUREG-0654, the original Emergency Plan described a single procedure based on a method for estimating offsite doses. The method was performed manually using tables and graph overlays.
As technology advanced, these manual methods were incorporated into a simple based spreadsheet.
The methodology was essentially the same; however, computers were used rather than paper tables and graphs. In 1989, Revision 8 of the Ginna Emergency Plan was implemented to recognize the computer-based spreadsheet in the Technical Support Center (TSC) and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) which mimics the manual method, while maintaining the manual method in the Main Control Room (MCR). The following statement was added to the Emergency Plan to describe the computer-based program used: A computer program operating on a micro-computer is also available in the TSC and EOF. This system mimics the overlay method of calculating downwind dose rates and airborne contamination levels. As of 1981, the requirements of NUREG-0654 continued to be met with the additional redundancy offered by the computer spreadsheet program in the TSC and EOF. The addition of the computer was the result of the availability of improved technology and not by performance issues or identified deficiencies.
The addition created a more robust method of estimating offsite dose. The discussion of the manual procedure methods was maintained in the Emergency Plan and continued to be used in the MCR. As part of the 1989 revision, Ginna also added a more sophisticated computer-based program for dose assessment.
This program (i.e., MIDAS) utilized advanced methodologies to accomplish the dose assessments and meet the guidance requirements of NUREG-0654.
Attachment 1 Page 5 of 8 The more sophisticated programs provided more accurate and timely dose assessment estimates, surpassing the capabilities of the manual procedure methods. The following statement was added to the Ginna Emergency Plan: A more sophisticated computer program, which uses the methods for environmental dose calculations required by Federal regulations, is also available to assess doses during and after an emergency.
The revision was made as a result of a change in available technology and not driven by performance issues or identified deficiencies.
The addition was an enhancement that met the regulatory requirements and exceeded the requirements by including two (2) diverse methods for dose assessment.
The 1989 Ginna Emergency Plan recognized two (2) methods which supported dose assessment (a procedure-driven method which could be used with or without the aid of a computer spreadsheet and the more sophisticated MIDAS computer model). In 2005, the MIDAS computer model was replaced by NRC's computer-based program (i.e., RASCAL) (EOF8) at the TSC and EOF. The RASCAL model offered improvements over MIDAS in that it was self-contained and did not require a dial-up remote access to run. There no changes needed to the description in the Emergency Plan for this ctiange. In 2014, Ginna replaced the computer-based program (RASCAL) with Exelon's Unified Rascal Interface
.(URI) for performance of dose assessment.
URI was also placed in the MCR for use with on-shift assessments.
This change was evaluated pursuant to 1 O CFR 50.54(q).
Assessment The change to remove the reference to the manual procedure method and the associated computer supporting spreadsheet method from the Emergency Plan is considered acceptable.
These methods have been superseded initially by MIDAS, then based EOF8 and now by the current URI dose assessment program. URI incorporates updated methodologies for dose assessment and is considered more comprehensive, timely, and accurate than the original tables and graphs used in the manual method. URI continues to satisfy all the NUREG-0654 guidance requirements, is an acceptable method for performing dose assessment, and used successfully by many licensees in the industry.
Note that when the MIDAS system was incorporated at the station, Ginna could have elected to remove the manual procedure methods from the Emergency Plan and completely credit the sophisticated computer-based model without a reduction in effectiveness.
The station elected to retain the manual methods, as well as the descriptions contained in the station Emergency Plan at the time. RG 1.219 provides the governing guidance pertaining to which changes can be made without obtaining prior NRC approval.
The process involves evaluating the NRG-approved licensing basis and determining whether a proposed change would reduce the effectiveness (i.e., capabilities and timeliness) of performing an emergency planning function.
In this revision to the Emergency Plan, Ginna proposes to remove a discussion regarding the original manual dose assessment contained in the Emergency Plan licensing basis. For this change, the licensing basis was revised to add additional computer-based dose assessment Attachment 1 Page 6 of 8 methods, while retaining the original manual methods which have since become obsolete.
This exceeded the regulatory requirements and guidance established in NUREG-0654.
RG 1.219 allows a revision of the Emergency Plan to remove these original methods without considering the revision as a reduction in effectiveness if it can be shown that the original level of commitment can be maintained.
An example in RG 1.219, Section 1.6 specifies that a licensee should consider why regulatory requirements were exceeded when making a change to re-establish a previous licensing basis. RG 1.219 provides the following discussion with respect to reasons for exceeding regulatory requirements in the Emergency Plan: Was it a matter of exceeding the regulatory minimum as an operating philosophy, or was it done to compensate for special circumstances that existed when the decision was made? A decrease .... in the first case might not reduce effectiveness; a decrease ... in the second case would reduce effectiveness if the special circumstances still existed. For Ginna's change, there were no special circumstances that required the station to maintain both dose assessment methods to be described in the Emergency Plan. There were no performance issues or identified deficiencies which required multiple methods for dose assessment to be maintained.
There were no commitments to the NRC to require multiple methods for dose assessment to be maintained at the station. The additional methods were added due to technological advancements and changes in available methodology.
Ginna elected to maintain the description of the manual methods as an enhancement to the program. Due to the rudimentary methodology of the manual method and associated computer-based spreadsheet, the burden of maintaining a spreadsheet method, as well as the burden of maintaining ERO proficiency with manual methods, Ginna is removing the manual method and associated computer-based spreadsheet method from the Emergency Plan. The current URI methodology meets the regulatory requirements and guidance established of NUREG-0654 stated above. The URI program is accepted and used at the other Exelon stations, as well as other licensees in the industry.
The URI program is considered more accurate and timely than the manual methods previously used at the station. The program is' used both as a network-based program, and will also be implemented as a stand-alone self-contained program to satisfy Cyber Security requirements by 2017. This redundancy with the implementation of URI ensures a robust method will be available at the Emergency Response Facilities (ERFs) for dose assessment.
The availability of backup power to the ERFs and the Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) will further ensure that the dose assessment function will be maintained using a more sophisticated dose assessment method than could be provided by the manual methods. The MCR and TSC have two (2) redundant Personal Computers (PCs) with standalone versions of URI installed, while the EOF has three (3) redundant PCs. The UPS is available for at least four (4) hours at all of the ERFs, as well as dedicated backup generators at the TSC and EOF. Therefore, the URI method will provide for a more accurate, reliable, and timelier means of performing the dose assessment function.
Also, as noted, above this change was evaluated pursuant to 1 O CFR 50.54(q).
Attachment 1 Page 7 of 8 Specific Emergency Plan Changes Step 5.3.3 was revised to delete reference to X/Q "tables" and just reference the X/Q values. With the deletion of the manual method for dose assessment, the tables no longer exist. Step 5.3.3 was revised to delete a statement that: "The airborne concentration is multiplied by the X/Q value and divided by the wind speed to obtain an estimated release rate from the plant." The sentence provides specific details of how release rates are determined with respect to X!Q and windspeed.
This is accomplished through the URI program and such calculations are no longer performed.
In its place, the statement: "Field Team survey results can be used to back calculate doses at the site boundary and offsite, 11 to establish that release rates can still be obtained through the use of Field Team surveys through URI. This maintains the level of commitment to the NUREG-0654 guidance and does not reduce the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan. Step 5.3.3 was revised to delete the sentence:
for manually estimating offsite doses for areas around the plant is available in the Control Room, TSC and EOF. Based upon these results, protective actions can be recommended.
11 This procedure for manually estimating offsite dose is no longer necessary with the implementation of the more sophisticate URI dose assessment software.
While the Emergency Plan maintained the description of both methods for a period of time, it has been established above that this decision exceeded regulatory requirements and was not done as a result of performance issues or identified deficiencies.
As such, the level of commitment in the last NRG-approved licensing basis has not been reduced with the deletion of the manual method. Step 5.3.3 was revised to delete reference to the overlay method, which was associated with the manual methods. The sentence was revised to maintain the requirement to calculate downwind dose rates and airborne concentrations as stipulated by the guidance in NUREG-0654.
Some editorial changes were implemented as part of this revision to maintain sentence structure.
For example, the phrase 11 A more sophisticated
... 11 was replaced with the phrase "The sophisticated
... " in Step 5.3.3. In addition a revision was made to Step 5.3.1 O to delete reference to the manual calculation methods of dose assessment, leaving reference to the computerized calculation methods. This is acceptable for reasons stated above. The deletion of the manual methods of performing dose assessment (procedure and spreadsheet) from the Ginna Emergency Plan essentially re-establishes the original licensing basis. URI not only satisfies the original commitment for dose assessment found in the last NRC approved Emergency Plan, but it also satisfies current regulatory regulations and guidance for the performance of dose assessment.
Tummary, Ginna originally relied on a manual proceduralized method to perform dose assessment as described in Revision O of their Emergency Plan. Following advances in technology, Ginna implemented a computer-based dose assessment method which replaced the manual method. Following the adoption of the computer software to perform dose assessment, the manual method was no longer required to support any aspects of dose assessment.
The Emergency Plan retained reference to this manual method even though it was no longer required; this change to the Emergency Plan is removing reference to an outdated manual method of dose assessment.
Attachment 1 Page 8 of 8 Description of Why the Change is Not a Reduction in Effectiveness (RIE) This revision does not constitute a Reduction in Effectiveness as discussed above. There are no Regulatory Commitments impacted by this revision to the Emergency Plan. The current Computer method which remains in the Emergency Plan is an industry proven and NRC accepted method which has been installed at Ginna's ERFs with redundancy and continues to satisfy the Regulatory requirements referenced in the Emergency Plan. 4. Position Titles (Nine Mile Point EP-AA-1013, Revision 2) Description of Changes A revision was made regarding editorial changes to Figures 2.3 TSC Staffing and Figure 2.5 EOF Staffing.
Specifically changes were made to revise position titles. No changes to responsibilities were made as a result of this change. Description of How the Change Still Complies with Regulations Editorial changes to Figures 2.3 TSC Staffing and Figure 2.5 EOF Staffing were made to revise position titles. No technical changes were made and no changes to responsibilities were made as a result of this change. These changes do not impact the compliance with EP regulatory requirements.
- Description of Why the Change is* Not a Reduction in Effectiveness (RIE) Per RG 1.219, these types of changes do not result in a Reduction in Effectiveness of the Emergency Plan. Regulatory requirements and emergency planning commitments were not impacted.

Calvert Cliffs Annex CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT EMERGENCY PLAN Section 1: Introduction Exelon Nuclear As required in the conditions*
set forth by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the operating licenses for the Exelon Nuclear Stations, the management of Exelon recognizes its responsibility and authority to operate and maintain the nuclear power stations in such a manner as to provide for the safety of the general public. The Exelon _ Emergency Preparedness Program consists of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan, Station Annexes, emergency plan implementing procedures, and associated program administrative documents.
The Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan outlines the basis for response actions that would be implemented in an emergency.
Planning efforts common to all Exelon Nuclear stations are encompassed within the Emergency Plan. This document serves as the Radiological Emergency Plan Annex for Calvert Cliffs Station and contains information and guidance that is unique to the station. This includes facility geography and location for a full understanding and representation of the station's emergency response capabilities.
The Station Annex is subject to the same review and audit requirements as the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan per EP-AA-120, "Emergency Plan Administration".
1 .1 Site Description Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant is. a fixed nuclear facility located in Lusby, Maryland.
It is owned and operated by Exelon Generation.
The site consists of two units. Each unit includes a two loop pressurized water reactor. The reactors are designed for a gross electrical output of approximately 91 O MWE. Cooling water is supplied by the Chesapeake Bay. The site contains an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The ISFSI is a life-of-plant storage facility for spent nuclear fuel assemblies discharged from Calvert Cliffs Units 1 and 2. 1.2 Purpose The Emergency Preparedness program for the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant consists of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan, Calvert Cliffs Station Annex, off-site radiological emergency plans, and procedures for protection of plant personnel and the general public. This program helps provide dose savings for a spectrum of accidents.
Some of these. accidents could produce off-site dose in excess of the Environmental Protection

- Effective coordination of activities among response organizations.
- Early warning and instructions for the population-at-risk.
- Continuous assessment of on-site and off-site actual or potential consequences.
- Effective emergency measures implementation.
- Continuous emergency preparedness maintenance.
1.3 Concept
1.3.1
- Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Plan has been developed to protect the general public and site personnel from possible consequences of emergency conditions.
Combined with its implementation procedures and radiological emergency plans of the State and local agencies, the Emergency Plan allows for:
- Early emergency condition recognition and classification.
- Prompt notification of agencies via reliable communication channels and personnel to augment the normal operating personnel.
- Prompt pre-planned protective actions for protecting the population-at-risk.
1 .3.2 Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant is staffed with personnel trained to respond to emergencies, Additionally, written agreements are maintained with federal agencies, private contractors, and State and local agencies that are required by law to provide assistance to ensure resources can be readily available in as short a time as possible to cope with emergencies and to protect the population-at-risk.
The agencies and reso1,Jrces provided are described in:

Response Documents
1.4.1 Emergency
Plan (Standard Plan ,Station Annex and Addendums)
The Emergency Plan ensures that emergency situations, including . those involving radiation or radioactive material, are handled properly and efficiently.
The Emergency Plan covers a spectrum of emergencies from minor localized emergencies to major emergencies involving off-site emergency response.
The Emergency Plan provides for advance planning required to develop implementation methods. The Emergency Plan describes:*
- 1. An emergency classification system used at the plant and emergency measures to be taken that are compatible with those used by Federal, State and county emergency response agencies and organizations.
- 2. Organizational control . of emergencies by on-site, off-site, and augmentation organizations, including identification of normal and emergency operating organizations.
- 3. Identification of Federal,*
State, and County authorities and agencies and other outside organizations that are available for assistance, including plans and agreements pertaining to participating off-site organizations and agencies.
- 4. Requirements for ensuring a high degree of emergency preparedness and operational readiness such as through training, drills, reviews, and au.dits. 5. Information pertaining to on-site and off-site emergency facilities and equipment such as the Emergency Operations Facility, Technical Support Center, Operational Support Center, and Joint Information Center. 6. Figures and tables that display information and data such as organizations, maps, and population distributions.
1.4.2 Emergency
Plan Implementation Procedures Emergency Plan Implementation Procedures are used in conjunction plant operating, chemistry, radiological control, security, and other technical procedures, as appropriate, to respond to emergency conditions and mitigate accident consequences.
These documents are made available to those individuals, facilities, and June 2016 cc 1-3 EP-AA-1011 (Revision
- 1)
Calvert Cliffs Annex Exelon Nuclear organizations where immediate use of such instructions would be required during an emergency.
These documents provide: 1. Specific instructions for emergency organizations including responsibilities, facilities, equipment, emergency classification, and seeking emergency assistance used to implement the Emergency Plan and support implementation of the State Radiological Emergency Response Plan. 2. Specific authorities and responsibilities for emergency response personnel responsible for assessing emergency conditions and providing steps to be taken to mitigate the consequences of an accident.
- 3. Specific instructions to ensure-prompt actions, notifications, and communications.
- 4. A record of completed actions. 5. A mechanism for maintaining emergency preparedness.
Emergency Plan Implementation Procedures are developed to respond to a variety of . accident scenarios.
These include minor events up to core melt situations with unplanned radioactive material release to the environment.
While the emergency level(s) listed in the procedures is sufficient to cause their implementation, it is not necessary to implement all Emergency Plan Implementation Procedures under these conditions.
Specific procedures may not be used if the actual emergency does not call for their use. For example: a security threat may not result in plant damage and an unplanned release; therefore, radiological monitoring procedures may not be used. The following types* of documents include the Emergency Plan Implementation Procedures:
- Fleet EP Procedures and T&HMs (Training and Reference Materials)
- Station/Region EP.procedures and T&RMs

Calvert Cliffs Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 2: Organizational Control of Emergencies This section describes the Exelon Emergency Response Organization (ERO) at Calvert Cliffs, its key positions and associated responsibilities.
It outlines the staffing requirements which provide initial emergency response actions and provisions for timely augmentation of on-shift personnel when required.
It also describes interfaces among emergency response personnel and specifies the offsite support available to respond to the nuclear generating stations.
2.1 Operating
Organization The first line of control of any emergency at Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant lies with the normal shift personnel on duty at such time as an emergency situation should occur. Assistance is available within one hour from other plant staff and operating personnel.
Additional assistance is available from Exelon Generation, Federal, and State agencies and contractor personnel.
Corporate Headquarters supports the ERO in the following functional areas: Corporate Communications is able to field rumor control issues while providing feedback to the Joint Information Center representatives.
Additionally, Headquarters aligned personnel assigned to CCNPP are considered available for assignment to the ERO if their duties do not include extended travel and they have the approval of their corporate sponsor. Emergency positions are staffed so relations to responsibilities and duties of the normal staff complement are essentially unchanged.
Operafing Organization personnel resources provide *the means for* continuous (24-hour) plant operations, including manning of communications links. 2.2 Standing Review Committees Two committees are established in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, Section 12.5, Review and Audit of Operations, to ensure adequate review of matters pertaining to nuclear plant safety and integrity.
The Plant Operations Review Committee functions iri an advisory*
capacity to the Plant General Manager-Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. The Nuclear Safety Review Board is an independent review organization functioning in an advisory capacity to the Chief Nuclear Officer. Membership and specific responsibilities of the Plant Operations Review Commjttee and Nuclear Safety Review Board are detailed in Fleet procedures.
2.3 Emergency
Organization Emergency Preparedness Unit maintains a list of personnel assigned as primary and alternates to emergency positions.
Emergency titles apply to interim, alternate, and primary candidates alike. The first person assuming an emergency position retains title, authority, and responsibilities until relieved.
Figure 2-1, Minimum On-Site Staffing Requirements, lists the minimum on-site staffing.

Calvert Cliffs Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 3: Classification of Emergencies
3.1 Classification
System
- Emergency classifications are: 1. Unusual Event 2. Alert 3. Site Area Emergency
- 4. General Emergency Each classification requires immediate action to classify the accident, notify site agen'cies and support groups, and mobilize emergency organizations as required to cope with the emergency.
Accidents are classified and reclassified (more and less severe) as situations warrant. Unusual Event and Alert classifications provide early notification of minor events and ensure timely response for more severe emergencies.
Assembly of Calvert Cliffs Emergency Response Organization is initiated for an Alert classification.
Full mobilization of emergency personnel and organizations is initiated for Site Area and General Emergency . . Each emergency classification is characterized*
by Emergency Action Levels consisting of specific plant parameters or conditions.
The Emergency Action Level scheme is consistent with R.G. 1.101, Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors, Revision 4, July, 2003, as modified by CCNPP, Inc., submittals to the NRC. Satisfying Emergency Action Level criteria other than a General Emergency does not necessitate immediate protective action, Implementation; it ensures time is available to confirm in-plant readings by implementing assessment measures on-site and off-site.
Classification philosophy is to declare the highest class emergency for Emergency.
Action Levels met or exceeded.
For example, a Site Area Emergency would be declared immediately, if the Emergency Action Level is met or exceeded, lower classes will not be declared first. 3.2 Unusual Event 3.2.1 Description 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.
No releases of radioactive material requiring off-site response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. 3.2.2 Emergency Action Levels Initiating conditions established as Emergency Action Levels for determining an Unusual Event classification are listed in EP-AA-1011, Addendum 3. An Unusual Event is declared any time that respective Emergency Action Levels are met or *exceeded.

5.3.2 Meteorological
Model A Class A, atmospheric transport and diffusion assessment model (Ref. 21, App. 2) is maintained on independent, redundant, computers in the Control Room, Technical Support Center, and Emergency Operations Facility (includes a separate computer for state use). Provisions exist for remote access of site meteorological parameters for Federal, State, and locq.I authorities.
The variable trajectory, puff advection, atmospheric dispersion model is used to determine the magnitude of the impact of an accidental release* of radioactivity and provides continuous real time (as the release is occurring) assessment of predicted effluent transport and diffusion.
The model uses input from meteorological data systems and source term estimates to provide estimates of exposure rates, and dose to 10 miles. It also internally
- calculates deposition rates and total deposition and uses them, in conjunction with the meteorological and source term data mentioned above, to calculate dose due to ground contamination out to 50 miles. The model accmmts for source decay, plume depletion mechanisms, building wake, plume rise and mixing height. For the 10-mile EPZ, the model uses finite cloud techniques to estimate plume exposure dose rates, four-day external dose rates from deposition, thyroid dose rates and dose rates due to inhalation.
Avoided dose is calculated as the sum of external exposure to the plume, internal exposure due to inhalation in the plume and external exposure to ground deposition according to EPA-400 guidance.

Calvert Cliffs Annex Exelon Nuclear APPENDIX 5 Liquefied Natural Gas Contingency I. DEFINITIONS A. Liquefied Natural Gas Liquefied natural gas is mainly methane gas cooled to about -260°F so it changes from a gas to a liquid. B. Methane Methane is a colorless, odorless gas that is flammable in concentrations of 5% and greater. It is positively buoyant with respect to air above about 60°F. II. POTENTIAL THREAT The relative proximity of the Cove Point Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal to Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant creates the possibility that abnormal occurrences at the Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal, such as a spill of Liquefied Natural Gas, could pose a potential threat to the safety to equipment and/or personnel at Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. The worse case occurrence at Cove Point with respect to Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant would be a large scale 25,000 m3 spill of Liquefied Natural Gas from an Liquefied Natural Gas tanker directly onto the surface of the Chesapeake Bay in the vicinity of the unloading pier. Such a spill is postulated to occur if a Liquefied Natural Gas-laden tanker is involved in a collision with another vessel whereby one or more of the Liquefied Natural Gas tanks aboard the tanker is ruptured.
- Releases of a smaller size or release from an onshore storage tank have been analyzed and shown to pose no significant threat at Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (Liquefied Natural Gas References A, B, and C). A significant Liquefied Natural Gas spill to the Chesapeake Bay from a ruptured tank of an Liquefied Natural Gas tanker in the vicinity of the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant poses two potential hazards to the personnel and/or operations of the plant. With appropriate atmospheric and bay conditions, a methane vapor cloud emanating from a spill could extend from the spill area to the plant vicinity, engulf portions of the plant, and then ignite. The resultant heat energy released could be hazardous to personnel and could damage equipment.
Additionally, should a flammable concentration of methane vapor fill a confined space or room, an explosion could occur if it ignited. A specific hazard created by methane vapor is the possibility of asphyxiation if the concentration is great enough to reduce oxygen to below minimum life-support levels (approximately 17%). June 2016 A5-1 EP-AA-1011 (Revision
- 1)
Calvert Cliffs Annex Exelon Nuclear The development and subsequent dispersion of a methane vapor cloud could occur as follows: Liquefied Natural Gas (a very cold liquid) is lighter than water and insoluble in water and will form a pool on the surface of water if spilled. As it pools, it absorbs heat from the water. Heating Liquefied Natural Gas causes it to vaporize i_nto methane gas. As the Liquefied Natural Gas pool spreads, the rate of vapor generation increases because there is more surface area for heat absorption.
The diameter of the resulting vapor cloud normally will be muGh greater than its height, since vertical mixing will be inherent due to local temperature inversion by the still cold methane gas cloud. Although methane vapor is colorless, the cloud will appear white due to condensation and/or freezing of water vapor condensed from atmosphere onto the cloud surface. The initial bulk temperature of newly vaporized methane is approximately
-250°F. At this temperature and at atmospheric pressure, methane vapor is approximately 50% more dense than ambient air. Consequently, there is no tendency for the cloud to rise. Experimental datc:t indicates that the vapor cloud continues to spread radically, and there is very little vertical dispersion.
Entrainment of air increases the cloud temperature, but generally, the density of the mixture remains above that of the diluting air. In instances where the heat input from the surface of the water, and/or heat input from the condensing and freezing of atmospheric water vapor is significant, the vapor cloud may become positively buoyant, thus terminating the threat to Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant since the methane will rapidly mix vertically and disperse.
Once a methane cloud begins to form, atmospheric and wind conditions may be such that the cloud could propagate toward Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. Wind speeds of 5-15 mph with stable atmospheric conditions and wind direction from the spill to the plant are necessary to transport the cloud to Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. As the cloud moves downwind, it is further diluted and dispersed by turbulent mixing with surrounding air. In the absence of ignition, this process would continue until the concentration of methane in the cloud reduced to the Lower Flammability Limit, about 5% methane, and the methane is totally dispersed into the. atmosphere (on the order of 20 minutes).
If at any point in the vapor cloud the methane concentration is between 5%.and 15% (Lower Flammability Limit and Upper Flammability Limit, respectively) and an ignition source is present, the vapor cloud will ignite. It will then slowly burn back to the source of the spill at a rate dependent upon the wind conditions.
The cloud continues to burn until the concentration of methane is reduced below 5%. A land-based spill at Cove Point will present no hazard to the plant or to plant personnel.
This is principally due to the limited heat source provided by land versus water for Liquefied Natural Gas vaporization and intervening terrain between Cove Point and Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. An accident will threaten the safety of the plant and personnel only if it is a major Liquefied Natural Gas spill from a tanker and the meteorological and bay conditions are such that the resulting vapor cloud can travel the 3 to 4 miles to Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plc:tnt. If there is no vapor ignition, the major concern is protection of the plant personnel in an oxygen deficient atmosphere.
If the plume* ignites away from the plant structure additional concern is to heat flux generated by the burning cloud that could harm exposed personnel.
By taking appropriate actions, hazards to plant personnel could be avoided, and threats to safety of the plant can be minimized.

Calvert Cliffs Annex Exelon Nuclear III. CONCERNS AND ACTIONS IN A LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS EMERGENCY The exclusion of methane from the Control Room is vital to plant safety and should be of utmost concern. Control Room ventilation system alignment must be considered as soon as a Liquefied Natural Gas threat is identified.
Plant operational needs will have to be considered and adjustments made if warranted.
Ventilation systems including the battery ventilation systems may have to be secured or isolated from outside intakes. Electrical lineups may have to be changed to preserve the ability of the plant to supply vital loads. Doors and other outside openings to plant structures may have to be secured. Methane ignition could result in a large scale fire in the vicinity of plant structures.
Such a fire could place a significant heat load on equipment or could result in serious personnel injury .. Methane incursion into confined spaces with subsequent ignition could result in an explosion.
Methane concentrations may vary from area to area. Careful monitoring for methane concentrations in specific locations of interest, (i.e., inside a pump motor casing or inside of an electrical panel, etc.) should be performed prior to starting up equipment.
Methane can asphyxiate and can result in dizziness, unconsciousness or even death if inhaled in sufficient concentrations.
Personnel must take appropriate precautions such as the use of self-contained or airline respiratory devices. Access to the site could be affected by the presence of methane or a methane fire. Alternate means of routing assistance on-site and of removing personnel (e.g., for medical purposes) will be considered.
The free movement of personnel outside of plant structures may be impossible, and thus early, prompt actions and decisions may be required.

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 1: Introduction As required in the conditions set forth by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for . the operating licenses for the Exelon Nuclear Stations, the management of Exelon recognizes its responsibility and authority to operate and maintain the nuclear power stations in such a manner as to provide for the safety of the general public. The Exelon Emergency Preparedness Program consists of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Emergency Plan (E-Plan), Station Annexes, emergency plan implementing procedures, and associated program administrative documents.
The Exelon E-Plan outlines the basis for response actions that would be implemented in an emergency.
Planning efforts common to all Exelon Nuclear stations are encompassed within the E-Plan.
- This document serves as the Radiological Emergency Plan Annex for Ginna Station and contains information and guidance that is unique to the station. This includes the facility geography location for a full understanding and representation of the station's emergency response capabilities.
The Station Annex is subject to the same review and audit requirements as the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Emergency Plan.* 1.1 Purpose The Exelon Nuclear Standardized Emergency Plan and Ginna Station Annex describes the total preparedness program established, implemented and coordinated by R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant LLC and the resources and capabilities available from Exelon, hereinafter referred to as "the Company", to ensure the capability and readiness for coping with and mitigating both onsite and offsite consequences of radiological emergencies at Ginna Station. The plan covers the spectrum of emergencies from minor localized incidents to major emergencies involving protective measures by offsite response organizations.
Included are guidelines for immediate response, assessment of emergency situations, defined action criteria and delineation of support and recovery functions.
Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs) and fleet procedures provide detailed information for individuals who may be involved with specific emergency response functions.
The Emergency Plan Annex provides for a graded scale of response for distinct classifications of emergency conditions, actions within those classifications, and criteria for escalating to a more severe classification.
This classification system is identical to that used by the State of New York and the local (Wayne and Monroe County) emergency response agencies.
The plans have four categories of emergencies:
Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency and General Emergency.
A fifth condition, Local Radiation Emergency, has been added. A Local Radiation Emergency is less severe than an Unusual Event and does not involve any offsite organization.
The Emergency Plan describes the activities and provisions other than engineered safety systems which are intended to limit exposures to the general June 2016 GN 1-1 EP-AA-1012 (Revision

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear public as well as to plant personnel.
The Emergency Plan covers the following
- conditions:
- 1) Major release to the atmosphere.
- 2) Major release to the lake. 3) Abnormally high radiation or airborne radioactivity in a particular area of the plant. 4) Plant conditions that may lead to potential releases.
NOTE: Offsite Transportation accidents are covered by Radiation Protection Procedures (RP Procedures) and do not require classification in this Plan. The Company has the immediate and continuing responsibility for limiting the consequences of an incident at the Ginna Nuclear Power Plant. Limiting the consequences to public health and safety should take *clear precedence over limiting financial loss or adverse publicity.
During a radiological emergency, the Company should take whatever action is deemed necessary to limit the consequences to* public health and safety, even if that action violates the Ginna Technical Specifications.
Such actions would req1;1ire prior approval, as a minimum, by a licensed Senior Reactor Operator and follow-up notification to the NRC in accordance with 1 OCFR50.54 (x) and (y). The Company is responsible for keeping Federal, State and local authorities informed of the status of the emergency as it relates to protection of the public health and safety. The Company will recommend to Federal, State and local authorities specific protective actions to limit the danger to the public, including evacuation.
The Company understands that it is the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's policy that the emergency should be managed by the licensee.
The NRG Headquarters Staff is *limited in its ability to provide detailed recommendations to plant personnel or plant managers at the site. The Company understands that the NRC Operations Center will be the primary location where this agency will monitor and evaluate licensee actions. During that time, the normal response roles for the NRC Operations Center will be to monitor, inform, and, upon request, advise licensees and other Federal, State and local authorities.
The authority for managing the NRC's emergency response efforts will be transferred to a senior onsite NRG representative when the NRG Headquarters Staff is confident the onsite representatives are prepared to receive that authority.
Their role will continue to be monitoring, informing, and advising plant and local authorities.
1 .2 Management Oversight:
Management oversight of the Emergency Preparedness program is provided by the Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee.
The details of the board's activities are contained in EP-AA-120-1004, Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee.

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear 1.3 Summary of Emergency Plan The primary objective of this plan is to protect the public and onsite personnel in the event of a radiation emergency.
This plan describes in general the actions to be taken by Company personnel in coordination with Federal, State and local authorities.
Through an emergency organization which is described, the magnitude and impact of radioactive releases will be assessed and the need for the activation of a more extensive emergency response will be determined.
The systems for notification of emergency personnel, Federal, State and local authorities, and the public are described along with the emergency facilities and equipment which are available for the trained emergency staff. The goal of the Ginna Station emergency organization is the safe shutdown and recovery of the Station and protection of the health and safety of the public and employees.
The general actions to be taken in the event of a radiation .accident include the following:
- 1) Observation and determination of.the classification of the occurrence.
- 2) Prevention or minimization of radiation hazards by the. Emergency Director and the on-duty operators.
- 3) Evacuation of all non-essential personnel from the *plant to the Ginna Training Center or other location, as appropriate.
- 4) Involvement of plant security personnel, supervisory personnel, Chemistry and Radiation Protection personnel, and other plant staff. 5) Notification of NRC Operations Center and State and local authorities, issuance of news releases, and emergency medical treatment.
- 6) Activation of Emergency Response Organization.
- 7) . Recovery and restoration of the plant to normal operation.
The extent of response to. an emergency situation is determined by the seriousness of potential consequences.
With the potential for effects to the
- general public, the assistance of Federal, State and loc?I agencies will be required.
For situations which only affect onsite operations, the situation will be handled by the Company. The awareness of an emergency situation will most likely originate in the Control Room. From an evaluation of plant parameters, the seriousness of the incident can be determined and the appropriate classification determined.
The on-duty plant operators, under the direction of the Shift Emergency Director, in consultation with the Shift Technical Advisor, will take action to mitigate the incident and to obtain the assistance of other plant and Company personnel.
Personnel onsite will be alerted by a warning signal if evacuation is deemed advisable and off-duty personnel will .be called in through an established call procedure.
Federal, State and county officials will be notified so that they may begin to set up their response organizations.
If the level of the incident requires June 2016 GN 1-3 EP-AA-1012 (Revision
- 3)
Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear activation of the emergency organization, trained people will staff the Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility and Joint Information Center. These centers will be activated, per procedure, by designated people who have been trained in the duties required to meet the incident.
Sufficient individuals are trained so that the positions can be filled regardless of who is onsite or available for call-in. Public officials will be kept informed of the situation as it progresses.
For certain classes of events, the EOF will be activated for continuing management of the incident and to assist in restoring the plant to normal operation.
A Joint Information Center will be activated to keep the public aware of the situation and news releases will be coordinated among the Company, New York State and other government agencies.

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 2: Organizational Control of Emergencies This section describes the Exelon Emergency Response Organization (ERO), its key positions and associated responsibilities.
It outlines the staffing requirements which provide initial emergency response actions and provisions for timely augmentation of on-shift personnel when required.
It also describes interfaces among emergency response personnel and specifies the bffsite support available to respond to the nuclear generating stations.
Figures 2.1 through 2.7 show the interfaces between and among the ERO functional areas. 2.1 On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Assignments The initial phases of an emergency situation at a nuclear station will most likely involve a relatively small number of individuals.
These individuals must be capable of (1) determining that an emergency exists; (2) providing initial classification and assessment; and (3) promptly notifying other groups and individuals in the emergency organization.
The subsequent phases of the emergency situation may require an increasing augmentation of the emergency organization.
All Exelon Nuclear stations have the capability at all times to perform detection, mitigation, classification, and notification functions required in the early phases of an emergency.
2.2 Authority
Over the Emergency Response Organization The Emergency Director in Command and Control is the designated Exelon individual who has overall authority and responsibility, management ability, and technical knowledge for coordinating all emergency response activities at the nuclear power station. The Emergency Director will immediately and unilaterally . initiate any emergency actions, including providing protective action recommendations to authorities responsible for implementing offsite emergency measures.
The Shift Manager is available at all times to . assume the responsibilities of Emergency Director.
A qualified individual is on-call to respond to the EOF and assume Command and Control. In accordance with the Ginna Emergency Plan, the TSC Emergency Director does not take Command and Control responsibilities.
2.3 Criteria
for Assuming Command and Control (Succession)
The responsibility for initial assessment of and response to an emergency rests with the Shift Manager (Shift Emergency Director).
Emergency personnel assume responsibility for their positions upon receiving notification to activate when an event has been declared.
The Emergency Director responsibilities are initially assumed by the Shift Manager. If the event is classified at an Alert or Higher level, or the Shift Emergency Director deems it appropriate, the Shift ERO will be augmented by the on-call ERO. The Corporate Emergency Director will report to the EOF and assume the Emergency Director's responsibilities.
June 2016 GN 2-1 EP-AA-1012 (Revision

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear The Shift Emergency Director is relieved of Command and Control as soon as possible after the declaration of an Alert or higher classification.
Command and Control does not transfer until the following criteria have been met:
- Adequate EOF staff levels are present in support of the non-delegable responsibilities.
- The staff has been fully briefed as to the status of the event and the currently proposed plan of action.
- A formal turnover between the Emergency Director relinquishing Command and Control and the Emergency Director assuming Command and Control has been made. 2.4 Non-Delegable Responsibilities Functional responsibilities of the Emergency Director that may not be delegated include: *
- Classify and declare emergencies.
- Direct and approve offsite emergency notifications to state and local authorities.
- Make Protective Action Recommendations to offsite authorities.
- Ensure appropriate evacuation actions for plant personnel.
- Approve emergency exposures and/or the issuance of Kl. 2.5 Emergency Response Organization Positional Responsibilities Table 2.1 outlines ERO positions required to meet minimum staffing (within 60 minutes) and full augmentation of the on-shift complement at an Alert or higher classification, and the major tasks assigned to each position.
The full augmentation levels are used as a planning basis to cover a wide range of possible events. For extended events (one which lasts for more than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />), actual staffing will be established by the Corporate Emergency Director based on the event and personnel availability.
However, additional staffing or reduced staffing will only occur after discussion concerning the impact on plant operations and emergency response.
- The station's ERO consist of three major sub groups reporting to the Corporate Emergency Director:
The primary functions of the Onsite ERO is perform mitigative actions and ensure appropriate onsite protective actions are taken.
- Offsite ERO, consisting of EOF staff. The primary functions of the Offsite ERO is to interface with offsite authorities and perform offsite radiological assessment.
- Public Information ERO, consisting of JIC staff. The primary function of the Public information ERO is to provide accurate information to the public through News Media. June 2016 GN 2-2 EP-AA-1012 (Revision

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear The NRC has established, and the State of New York has accepted, four Emergency Classification Levels for which the Company shall provide early and prompt notification to both State and County authorities.
These Classification Levels are consistent with those described in Sections 3.2 through 3.5 in this plan. The "Unusual Event" and "Alert" classifications provide early and prompt notification of minor events which could lead to more serious consequences or which might be indicative of more serious conditions which are not yet fully realized.
A gradation is provided to assure more complete offsite response . preparations for more serious indicators.
At the Alert or higher classification, full mobilization of offsite emergency personnel is required.
The "Site Area Emergency" classification reflects conditions indicating significant releases are likely or are occurring but where a core-melt situation is not indicated.
The "General Emergency" classification involves actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for loss of containment.
The "General Emergency" classification requires immediate consideration of Protective Action Recommendations by the Company and communication of these recommendations to Wayne and Monroe Counties and New York State. Although Protective Action considerations
- are mutually discussed by *each county, the Chairman of the N.Y.S. Disaster Preparedness Commission and both County Executives may decide to take actions of different magnitude.
Protective Actions are based. on current and forecasted weather conditions, road construction and other possible impediments to evacuation.
- 2.8.2 Local Disaster Coordinator (Wayne County Emergency Management Office and Monroe County Office of Emergency Management):
In general, the responsibilities of the Local Emergency Preparedness Coordinator in each county include the following:
a) On receipt of notification from the State of New York, or Ginna Station Control Room, alert local authorities and officials in accordance with established plans. b)
- Coordinate response of local authorities and provide for available local assistance to the Company and State authorities in . accordance with established plans. The participation of the counties, upon notification of an event involving the general public, is outlined in their Radiological Emergency Plans, which are reviewed in Appendix 5. The Office of Emergency Management in each county consists of smqll administrative staffs and a pool of reserve personnel located throughout the county. Members receive training in monitoring, establishing relocation centers and providing medical attention, food, and lodging for evacuees.
Extensive communication resources are available for use by the Local Disaster / Coordinators and staff, including a number of radios for contacting the county fire coordinator, the police forces, public works and commercial radio stations.-

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 3: Classification of Emergencies Emergencies are classified into four categories, which cover the entire spectrum from probable incidents to postulated major accidents.
This system is coordinated with the NRC, New York State, Wayne County and Monroe County to ensure that the classification system is compatible with that used by all organizations.
The system provides for notification of appropriate emergency response organizations and implementation of actions immediately applicable to a specific condition.
Provisions are included for revising the classification level and the corresponding responses in the event of a change in severity of the emergency condition.
This section identifies the events which comprise each of the four emergency classifications requiring formal offsite notification.
This section also describes a condition known as a Local Radiation Emergency which does not require formal notification.
Criteria for characterizing, recognizing and declaring each emergency classification are given along with appropriate emergency classifications.
Recognition and classification criteria a're based, to the extent feasible, on readily available information such as Control Room instrumentation.
Plant parameter values and the corresponding emergency classifications are given in appropriate implementing procedures.
Immediate actions to be taken in response to plant conditions are detailed in plant operating and emergency procedures.
Other emergency actions in
- response to radiation emergencies are identified in Section 4, Emergency Measures and described in detail in applicable Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures as listed in Appendix 3. A comprehensive listing of Ginna-specific initiating conditions for each emergency classification*
is provided in EP-AA-1012, Addendum 3, Radiological Emergency Plan Emergency Action Levels (EALs) for Ginna Station. EP-AA-1012, Addendum 3 is based on NEI guidance provided in NEI 99-01 and demonstrates how an initiating condition leads directly to the appropriate emergency classification, based on the magnitude of the event. In some cases, extensive assessment is necessary to determine the applicable emergency classification.
In any case, continuing reassessment is required to ensure that the classification is upgraded or downgraded commensurate with the severity of the condition.
Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures can be found in the Control Room, Technical Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility, Document Control, and on the internal Ginna website. 3.1 NOTE: Local Radiation Emergency:
The Local Radiation Emergency is not one of the four NRC Emergency Classifications and does not require any offsite notification.
Incidents may occur which require response only within the plant. A Local Radiation Emergency is defined as a radiation emergency condition whose consequences affect only personnel onsite. EPIP-1-13, Local Radiation Emergency, provides for the identification of local radiation emergencies and the
- actions necessary to ensure worker safety. June 2016. GN 3-1 EP-AA-1012 (Revision
- 3)
Ginna Annex NOTE: The following are the four NRC Emergency Classifications.
3.2 Unusual
Event: Exelon Nuclear Events within this Emergency Classification generally characterize off-normal plant conditions which, by themselves, do not constitute significant emergency conditions.
Some of these events could, however, indicate a potential degradation in the level of plant safety and/or could escalate to a more severe condition if appropriate action is not taken. The primary purpose for this classification is to ensure that the plant operating*
staff recognizes initiating conditions, takes appropriate action, and comes to a state of readiness to respond in the event that the condition becomes more significant.
The Unusual Event classification or higher also requires that offsite authorities be promptly informed of the abnormal condition by use of the Radiological Emergency Communications System (RECS) and the New York State Radiological Emergency Data Form, Part I, found in procedure EP-CE-114-100 . No response by offsite authorities is necessary for non-hostile action events within this classification.
The TSC or EOF will not usually be activated, although the Station Emergency Dfrector, *Operations Manager, OSC Chemistry Lead and Technical Manager will normally report to the TSC to provide assistance.
When giving notice to State and county officials, the Company will make sure that they clearly understand the Unusual Event classification and that, if conditions change, there will be further notification.
3.3 Alert
This Emergency Classification is characterized
- by events which indicate an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of plant safety or a security threat that involves probable life-threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of hostile action. This classification requires response by the plant ERO and augmentation of onsite emergency resources.
It constitutes the lowest level where emergency offsite response for non-hostile action events may be anticipated.
All Ginna emergency facilities will be staffed at an Alert or higher. Prompt notification of an event within this classification will be made to the NRC, State of New York and Monroe and Wayne Counties.
While the initial assessment would not require immediate response, potential releases of radioactivity make it advisable to. alert offsite organizations.
Periodic status updates will be made to keep authorities aware of the situation.
3.4 Site Area Emergency:
A Site Area Emergency is characterized by events involving actual or probable 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 equipment needed for the protection of the public; or (2) that prevent effectives access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Most events within this classification June 2016 GN 3-2 EP-AA-1012 (Revision
- 3)
Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear constitute actual or clear potential for significant releases of radioactive material to the environment.
For a Site Area Emergency, all emergency response facilities are activated.
Although emergency actions involving members of the public may not be necessary, offsite emergency response organizations should be mobilized and ready to impfement protective measures.
Protective actions taken onsite are: the evacuation, if deemed necessary, of all persons in areas other than the Control Room, Technical Support Center and OSG; initiation of onsite and offsite radiation monitoring; and close monitoring of plant status s*o that the licensee and other authorities can be advised of changing conditions, whether increasing or decreasing in severity.
Meteorological and release data and survey results will be used to provide offsite dose estimates.
For the purpose of classifying an emergency, instrument indications in the Control Room will be used. The instruments of interest and appropriate action points are part of the implementing procedures.
3.5 General
Emergency:
A General Emergency is characterized by events which involve actual. or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or hostile actions that result in an actual loss of physical control of the facility.
Initial declaration that a General Emergency may exist is based on a situation which may have the potential for serious radiological consequences to . the health and safety of the general public.* A Site Area Emergency most likely would been declared earlier and, if events are in progress which may involve core degradation with potential for loss of containment integrity, a General Emergency should be declared.
For a General Emergency, all emergency response facilities are activated.
The Emergency Director will promptly notify State and local authorities and ttie NRC of the plant status and reasons for declaring a General Emergency.
The Emergency Director will also make recommendations for offsite emergency measures to be ,taken. The responsibility for this recommendation to offsite authorities may*not be delegated.
June 2016 GN 3-3 EP-AA-1012 (Revision

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 4: Emergency Measures The following sections provide the guidelines for implementing procedures of the four emergency classifications and the Local Radiation Emergency condition which are described in Section 3.0. 4.1 Local Radiation Emergency:
A Local Radiation Emergency condition is established to provide a level of response to a radiological incident which is less serious than the four NRC Emergency Classifications.
Jt has no effect offsite and has no potential for any offsite effects. There is normally no notification or action required by offsite agencies.
a) EPIP-1-13, Local Radiation Emergency, contains the details of the response.
In general, any individual aware of an incident shall notify the Control Room of this fact. b) The Control Room shall announce over the plant public address* (PA) system that a local evacuation of the area is required.
c) All personnel in the affected area shall leave the area as directed.
4.1 .1 Subsequent Action: The situation will be evaluated and actions taken to terminate the emergency.
The plant shall determine the course of action to be taken to clean up the affected area,* correct the cause of the incide.nt, and return the area to normal operation.
State and county authorities may be notified of the incident for informational purposes but no actions are required offsite. NOTE: Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 are NRC Emergency Classifications that require State, county, and NRC notification.
4.2 Unusual
Event: The purpose of the Unusual Event Classification is to provide early warning of minor events which could lead to more serious consequences.
The Unusual Event conditions indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. Declaring an Unusual Event assures that the first step for any response later found to be necessary has been carried out by bringing onsite staff and offsite organizations.
to a state of readiness, thereby providing a system for handling information and decision-making.
The NRC, State and county authorities will be promptly notified to assure that the. first step of any necessary response can be initiated.
The Plant Manager will be notified of the Unusual Event Emergency to bring the plant staff to a state* of readiness and provide for responsible decision-making.
On-shift resources can be augmented so as to be -able to assess and respond as needed. Offsite organizations will stand by for further information or closeout.
June 2016 GN 4-1 EP-AA-1012 (Revision
- 3)
Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.3 Alert: Events of the Alert classification involve actual or potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security threat that involves probable life-threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of hostile action. Any radioactivity released during an Alert would result in exposures well below the . guidelines for required offsite action. By assuring that emergency personnel are available to respond if the situation should become worse, protective actions could be taken much quicker, such as performing confirmatory radiation monitoring and providing offsite authorities with current status information.
For events which fall in the Alert classification, Ginna Station will promptly notify the NRC, State and county authorities of the. Alert status and the reasons for the classification.
All Ginna emergency facilities will be staffed so as to assist in the assessment of the incident and determination of a proper response.
Periodic plant status updates will be given to offsite authorities who will also be advised of any change in the classification of the incident.
Unless they are already in the plant, persons so notified will report to the plant, the Emergency Ope'rations Facility (EOF) or, if directed by Security, to the Training Center, :where jobs *are assigned in line with the trained capabilities*
of the individual.
Procedures provide for staffing of. all Ginna emergency facilities.
The organization is *normally activated via an automated system activated from the . Control Room. The Joint Information Center will be staffed by Company, county and State personnel in order to coordinate public information activities warranted by the emergency.
Offsite agencies wili activate primary response centers to standby status and will alert other key emergency personnel, such as monitoring teams and communications centers, the Emergency Alert System, or law enforcement.
They will be ready to escalate to a more severe classification, if appropriate.

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.4 Site Area Emergency:
A Site Area Emergency is declared when events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for the 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 equipment needed for the protection of the public; or (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except near the site boundary.
In the event that a Site Area Emergency is declared, the actions to be taken by various plant groups are detailed in the implementing procedures for the plant. The Control Room will make the initial notification to the NRC,-State and county authorities.
The purpose of the declaration of a Site Area Emergency is to assure that personnel required for evacuation of near-site areas are at their duty stations if such an evacuation is called for. Also, offsite agency authorities will be available at primary response centers for consultation and updates on the situation, and to provide information to the public. 4.5 General Emergency:
The General Emergency will be declared when the conditions described in Section 3.5 exist. Actions associated with the General Emergency declaration p.re to: (1) initiate protective actions for the public as predetermined or as indicated by actual releases; (2) provide continuous assessment of information from Ginna Station and offsite measurements; (3) provide consultation with offsite authorities; and (4) keep the public informed through updates of the -situation through the Joint Information Center. 4.5.1 Company Actions: A General Emergency requires that all actions prescribed for the Site Area Emergency (see Section 4.4) be implemented.
_The NRC, State of New York, and county authorities, who will already have been contacted for lower classifications, will now be updated. The Emergency Director or designee may request the assistance of offsite groups, which could include REACffS, Company medical department, and Department of Energy, Brookhaven Radiological Assistance Program. Technical personnel from other Company departments and/or consultants will be called as needed. The EOF Radiation Protection Manager has the responsibility to determine the magnitude and extent of the incident by evaluating information from the Control Room and the Offsite Monitoring Teams. This information will consist of instrumentation readings and any survey results available.
EOF staff shall update the State and local .authorities with new survey data and other information and recommend protective actions. Protective action recommendations will be based on NUREG-0654 I FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, Supplement 3, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and June 2016 GN 4-5 EP-AA-1012 (Revision
- 3)
Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants". A summary dose based recommended actions is presented in Table 4.1. The methodology for implementation of the Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) process is contained in EP-CE-111, Emergency Classification and Protective Action Recommendations, which also provides guidance for upgrading an initial PAR based on pertinent factors. In making the recommendation for sheltering or evacuation, the EOF Radiation Protection Manager should evaluate the weather forecast in relation to changing winds and precipitation.
The offsite authorities should evaluate the calculated evacuation times in relation to predicted start, length . and termination of a release*.
Emergency staff at Wayne and Monroe Counties and New York State shall determine, by evaluating the information given by the Corporate Emergency Director, if area evacuation or sheltering is necessary, to what extent, and how to undertake protective action including evacuation.
A projection of population distribution in the 10 mile plume exposure zone is included in the Evacuation Time Estimates contained in EP-AA-1012, Addendum 2. A summary of evacuation time estimates for various conditions is provided in EP-AA-1012, Addendum 2. All surveys will be retained by the EOF Radiation Protection Manager and sample analysis results will be retained by the Chemistry Group Lead for appropriate documentation.
Formal reports shall be written and distributed as required by 1 OCFR20 and the Ginna Technical Specifications.
Information concerning the offsite consequences of. the incident and protective actions to protect the public will be coordinated in accordance with the New York State
- Radiological Emergency Plan and County Emergency Plans. A Company spokesperson in the JIG will release the information concerning the plant, plant safeguards and its employees, and assistance being provided to State and local authorities.
Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMG) entry conditions are defined in the Station Emergency Operating Procedures.
4.5.2 Offsite

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.9 Onsite Protective Actions: During a radiological emergency, protective actions will be employed as follows: 4.9.1 Radiation Protection During an Emergency:
During a radiological emergency, precautions and limitations to minimize doses shall be observed by personnel entering an incident area. In general, doses will be limited to station administrative control levels for occupational radiation exposure in accordance with station procedures.
Every effort shall be made to keep exposure As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) while accomplishing the necessary tasks. Radiation exposures in an emergency shall be evaluated on an ALARA basis. Offsite Monitoring Teams are limited to 1 Rem TEDE dose during the incident unless special permission is given by the Corporate Emergency Director or the EOF Radiation Protection Manager. Information on post-accident doses is provided in Chapter 15 of the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) for Ginna Station. For lifesaving actions such as the removal of an injured person and providing first aid, ambulance service, medical treatment or other actions required to reduce severe health effects to the public, volunteers may receive greater than 25 Rem TEDE whole body exposure.
The limit set for performing assessment actions or undertaking mitigative actions to prevent substantial radiological releases is 25 Rem TEDE. Authorization to receive doses greater than station administrative limits can be given only by the Corporate Emergency Director.
Offsite Monitoring Teams will consist of at least two persons. All entries into high radiation areas must be carefully planned from available survey data, review of personnel current exposure records, and pre-planning of the activities to be accomplished.
Whenever planning to enter an incident area, use the applicable EP Implementing procedures to adequately protect the responders by determining the appropriate survey instruments, protective clothing, dosimetry, respiratory protection or other resources needed. Close communications between team members shall be maintained as much as possible.
The radiation protection program during an emergency will be based on the program defined in the RP series of procedures.
Dosimeters are available in the onsite and offsite emergency facilities for the Offsite Monitoring Teams. Provisions for round-the-clock capability to issue dosimeters and maintain dose records will be established to meet long-term needs of the plant procedures.
The capability to read dosimeters will be used to maintain control of individual doses. 4.9.2 Site Evacuation:
EP-CE-113, Personnel Protective Actions, provides specific instructions for evacuation of the Protected Area. The evacuation alarm (special tone) will be activated from the Control Room per direction from the Shift Emergency Director.
Upon becoming aware of the evacuation alarm, all personnel, except those whose duties during an emergency specify otherwise, shall immediately leave their area of work by the nearest exit. All building exits to the outdoors may be June 2016 GN 4-10 EP-AA-1012 (Revision

Ginna*Annex Exelon Nuclear used. Normal egress of the radiologically controlled area should be used if possible.
If not possible, workers should use the nearest exit and remove their protective clothing, if worn, as directed by procedures.
Personnel will walk to the Assembly Area and stand by for further instructions.
All dosimeters will be retained by the individual.
The "Assembly Area" refers to the Training Center or alternate locations defined in emergency procedures depending on plume direction and habitability considerations.
The escort accompanying any visitors is responsible to see that visitors are taken to the Assembly Area. Other personnel who may be onsite outside the Protected Area would .hear the site evacuation signal. After evacuation of the plant areas, an accounting will be made of all personnel who were onsite. Accountability of personnel is carried out by plant security using the "onsite" computer list to determine that all persons are accounted for. The Security Shift Supervisor or TSC Security Coordinator initiates a process to verify accountability for all individuals inside the protected area. Drills have indicated that this process can be completed within 30 minutes. This process is verified to be complete by the Corporate Emergency Director using their checklist.
Cars will be monitored and surveyed as necessary before they are allowed to leave the site. Personnel leaving the site will take* a route selected by the Corporate Emergency Director, after consultation with the Wayne County Emergency Operations Center (EOC), giving consideration to the 'wind direction or road impediments. (see Figure 4.2) Before leaving, persons will be monitored for contamination.
Normally, private cars will be used for leaving the site. If cars are contaminated, buses wiil be brought in for the evacuation.
The Corporate Emergency Director will consult with the Wayne County Emergency Director concerning numbers of evacuating personnel and vehicles, and which evacuation routes will be used. 4.9.3 Emergency Medical Treatment: . All emergency medical treatment will be carried out using an emergency medical treatment plan. This plan specifies the types of medical action to be taken in any type of radiation or contamination emergency.
First aid team members maintain their proficiency through Red Cross First Aid Training or equivalent as a minimum. The Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure for Emergency Exposures and Kl, provides guidelines for the administration and use of potassium iodide (Kl) for onsite personnel arid Offsite Monitoring Teams. The determination of need for Kl is the responsibility of the TSC Radiation Protection Manager or the EOF Radiation Protection Manager. Approval of the Corporate Emergency Director is required.

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.9.5 Decontamination:
A Radiation Protection procedure provides guidance for graduated measures to. be used for decontamination.
The objective of decontamination is to prevent the spread of radioactive material on the individual, to the environment or to other personnel and to reduce the resultant dose. Decontamination is essentially the removal of radioactive material and is performed starting with the highest level of contamination using the simplest procedures.
Continued decontamination may show diminishing effectiveness and require a decision to stop or use more potent agents. Decontamination kits, which contain items to decontaminate the skin and for wound cleansing, are available.
Decontamination should continue until it is no longer effective but not so as to abrade skin. This procedure should be effective against iodine and other contaminants.
If personnel cannot be decontaminated to the limits of Procedure RP-AA 350, Contamination Monitoring, Decontamination and Reporting", Radiation Emergency Assistance Centerff raining Site (REACffS) may be contacted.
Instruments are available to determine contamination levels of personnel or equipment and the effectiveness of decontamination.
Waste drums are available as containers for radioactive waste and emergency clothing is available, if needed. 4.9.6 Offsite Authorities Actions: Offsite authorities will provide assistance as needed to protect the public. In the . event a Site Area Emergency is declared, this may include activating the public notification system and providing information and periodic updates of the situation through the EAS (Emergency Alert System) and/or press briefings.
Resources at primary response centers will be augmented by calling other emergency services to standby status and dispatching certain emergency personnel to initiate their functions (i.e., monitoring and communications).
Information from the licensee, monitoring teams and weather stations will be continually evaluated with regard to changes in protective actions already initiated for the public, such as sheltering of people or milk animals. Monitoring results and any actions taken should be reported to the licensee and others having a need to know. 4.1 O Major Release to Lake Ontario or Deer Creek: If a major release to Lake Ontario or Deer Creek occurs which exceeds the Technical Specifications limit or the limiting concentrations specified in 1 OCFR20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2, at the point of discharge, the following actions shall be taken: The release will be classified per EP-AA-1012, Addendum 3, Radiological Emergency Plan Emergency Action Levels (EALs) for Ginna Station, and appropriate notifications will be made, if necessary, per the classification and corresponding procedures.
The Ontario Water District will be notified.

The Monroe County Office-of Emergency Management and Wayne County Emergency Management Office answer the RECS line during the workday. During non-business hours, weekends and holidays, the RECs line is covered for Wayne and Monroe Counties at their 911 Centers. At Ginna Station, there are always Control Room personnel to originate calls. New York State has responsibility for communications to other counties which may fall within the ingestion pathway exposure zone. Any contacts with Canada would also be through the State agencies, To contact appropriate offsite agencies, the telephones would normally be used as previously noted in Section 5.2.2, with direct lines or the commercial telephone system. If necessary, offsite agencies can be contacted using satellite phones. Communications with Federal emergency response organizations consists of telephone contact to the Department of Energy, Brookhaven . Radiological . Assistance Program. This call would be made by the EOF Director per our letter of agreement with Brookhaven.
Their assistance may also be requested by the State or Counties.
The NRC Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS) consists of the NRC Emergency Notification System (ENS) "red phones". They are installed in the .. Control Room, the EOF and the Technical Support Center (including the NRC office). NRC Health Physics Network phone$ are also available in the Technical Support Center and EOF.

The PPCS incorporates the Safety Assessment System. The PPCS computer system at Ginna Station provides historical and real time plant information via displays and hard copy devices that are located in the Ginna June 2016 GN 5-8 EP-AA-1012 (Revision
- 3)
Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear Control Room, the Technical Support Center and the Emergency Operations Facility.
PPCS display and report information is accessed via an alpha-numeric keyboard or icons that support menu driven functions.
PPCS provides the logging and archival capability.
Both computer systems are designed to assist Control Room operators and emergency response personnel in the decision-making process during normal and abnormal plant conditions.
5.3.2 Process
Radiation Monitoring System: The process radiation monitoring system provides indications and alarms which permit assessment of in-plant conditions, as well as providing certain automatic actuations.
The general functions of these systems are as follows: a) To indicate primary system leakage and fuel rod failures.
b) To indicate radioactivity levels in selected process systems. c) To indicate radioactivity released through vents or drains. d) To provide visible and audible alarms in the Control Room when a significant increase in radiation occurs in systems or areas. e) To alarm in the Control Room on monitoring equipment failure. f) To shut down a purge or a release .if radioactivity reaches the alarm set points and thereby avoid exceeding the release limits. 5.3.3 Effluent Monitors:
Effluent monitors available at Ginna are listed in Tables 5.1 A and 5.1 B. Of these monitors, particular importance is placed upon the plant vent monitors and liquid release monitor; the former because, as described in Section 3.0, Classification of Emergencies, in combination with other. monitors, they indicate the need for site evacuation and protective actions for the public; the latter because it indicates the need for protective measures with regard to the use of lake water. Alarm set points are based upon the maximum allowable environmental radioactivity concentration and dose which might result from a release and set at a fraction of those values. Monitor calibration factors, correlating monitor readings and vent concentrations can be used to estimate the release rate. From vent concentrations, the offsite dose or concentration levels can be calculated.
Table 5.1 A summarizes these monitors and alarm functions.
Several approaches are available to supplement effluent monitor readings for the assessment of release rates and projected doses. High range monitors have been established for. the estimation of noble gas release from the plant ventilation exhaust point in the event that normal range effluent monitors are off scale or inoperable.
Periodic grab samples of effluent release paths would also be used to quantify and further refine . estimated releases from the plant. Table 5.1 B summarizes the SPING 4 high range monitoring system. June 2016 GN5-9 EP-AA-1012 (Revision
- 3)
Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear If no release data is available, a method for assessment of release rates is used in conjunction with the X/Q values and offsite concentrations.
The release rate of radioactive material from the plant can be calculated from the measured airborne concentration at a given downwind *sample location and the X/Q value for that location.
Field Team survey results can be used to back calculate doses at the site boundary and offsite. The Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents (EPA 400-R-92-001
), NUREG-0133, Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants (October 1978) and Regulatory Guide 1.109 Rev. 1, Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluation Compliance with 1 O CFR Part 50, I (October 1977) provide the methodology for relating radiological measurements in various environmental media or effluent monitor readings to offsite dose or dose rates. Meteorological conditions can be factored into these calculations.
A computer program operating on a personal computer is available in the Control Room, TSC and EOF. This system provides multiple methetts-of calculating downwind dose rates and airborne contamination levels. The-sophisticated computer program, which uses the methods for environmental dose calculations required by Federal regulations, is also available to assess doses during and after an emergency.
Additional information on the radiological consequences of a variety of accidents can be found in Chapter 15 of the Ginna Updated Final Safety Analysis Report. External dose. or dose rates from surface contamination or airborne radioactivity are determined by direct field measurements (dosimeter or survey meter). Internal dose commitments from key isotopes via water or airborne pathways would be evaluated using the uptake rates, dose conversion factors, and other pathway parameters given in EPA 400, NUREG-0133 and Regulatory Guide 1.109. Computer software is available that uses these dose calculation models to determine the radiological dose assessment In this manner, rapid determination of dose estimates from multiple pathways*
may be made for comparison with protective action guides. June 2016 GN 5-10 EP-AA-1012 (Revision

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear 5.3.4 Area Radiation Monitoring System: The plant area radiation monitoring system provides indications and alarms which assist in assessment of plant conditions.
Its general functions are as follows: a) To indicate the general radiation level in specified areas of the plant.
- b) To provide visible and audible alarms in both the Control Room and the remote meter location when a significant increase in radiation level occurs. c) To provide a visible alarm in the Control Room on meter or detector failure. As described in Section 3.0, Classification of Emergencies, this system is used to initiate local radiation emergency protective action and, in combination with other systems, to indicate the need for a site evacuation and possible offsite protective measures.
Table 5.1 C lists the location of area monitors of major interest.
Alarm set points can be found in Plant Procedures.
High Range Radiation Monitors are installed within containment with readout in the Control Room. A procedure is available by which readings can be converted to an interpretation of the extent of fuel damage and/or radioactivity released to the containment atmosphere.
5.3.5 Source
Range Nuclear Instrumentation:
The two source range channels are used at shutdown to provide an audible count rate signal and audible alarms in both the Control Room and containment
/ to call attention to unexpected increase in neutron flux. A high source range alarm in containment is the signal to evacuate the area. 5.3.6 Continuous Air Monitors:
Several mobile radiation monitors are available within the controlled areas particularly for use during work where local detection of excessive airborne contamination is advisable.
Various combinations . of noble gases, iodine and particulate monitors are available.
These are equipped with meter as well as audible and visible alarms. 5.3.7 Portable Monitors, Sampling Equipment and Other Special Eduipment:
- Portable monitors, sampling equipment and other special equipment for assessing the extent of the consequences of a radiation emergency are located
- in the Control Room, the Radiation Protection office, the Auxiliary Building and the Training Center, including individual survey equipment boxes for each offsite monitoring team. A summary of this equipment is given in Step 5.1.7. Additional sampling and monitoring equipment is also available in the TSC and the EOF. 5.3.8 Process and Containment Monitors:
Numerous process variables are indicated and recorded in the Control Room to ensure safe and orderly operation of all systems and processes over the full operating range of the plant, as well as for detection of off-normal or emergency conditions.
Of these monitors, particular importance is placed upon those which
- provide for detection of a loss of coolant accident and the immediate automatic actuation of equipment to mitigate its consequences.
These include 4 channels June 2016 GN 5-15 EP-AA-1012 (Revision
- 3)
Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear for Pressurizer pressure, 3 channels for Pressurizer level, 4 channels for Steam Generator level, 4 channels for Reactor Coolant average temperature, 2 channels for steam flow and feedwater flow for each Steam Generator.
Along with these are indications of containment conditions, which include 6 channels for containment pressure, sump level and pump actuation, safety injection recirculation sump level indicator, 4 channels for fan cooler condensate level, and 6 channels for dew point temperature.
Greater detail for the process and containment monitors is given in the UFSAR, Chapter 7. *Seismic and hydrologic emergencies are treated by Procedure ER-SC.4 and SC.2 respectively.
A seismic monitor (accelerograph) is located in the intermediate building sub-basement and a lake level indication is available from the plant computers or the Screen House.
- Information concerning seismic or hydrologic events can be obtained-from offsite agencies such as the NYS geologist at the State Education Department or at Cornell University Geology Department.
5.3.9 Plant
Laboratories:
The laboratory area of the plant is maintained for the purpose of monitoring the condition of a variety of fluid streams and stored fluids including:
the activity and isotopic content; for assessing the degree of contamination of plant areas, movable items and personnel; and for storing, calibrating and maintaining portable and laboratory radiation measuring instruments.
Separate laboratory servic.es are available at Exelon's Ft Smallwood Road Complex in Baltimore, MD for assessing the effect of the plant operation on the environs.
By the use of a Post-Accident Sampling System located in the controlled area of the Intermediate Building,.
samples can be drawn from reactor coolant, containment atmosphere, and containment sump. These samples are processed from a remote control board to open valves, collect the sample, and read out . results of the analysis.
Analyses for chlorides and radioactive isotopes can be completed on diluted, shielded grab samples in a laboratory facility within the times required by NUREG-0737, Clarification of TMI Actio6 Plan Requirements.
Samples can be taken and analyzed without exceeding personnel doses of 5 Rem. This system will also be used for normal Operations samples. In addition to laboratory facilities within the plant, some capability is provideq at the Training Center for use in assessing the offsite effects of an incident.
The chemistry laboratories of the nuclear plants at the Oswego, New York, site are also available to supplement the Ginna onsite laboratory.
5.3.1 O Meteorological Monitoring:
Data on meteorological conditions is available to the Control Room for use in assessing the consequences of an. airborne release of radioactive matter. All meteorological measuring devices, with the exception of the precipitation measuring system, are mounted on a 250 *feet weather tower located at the Ginna plant site. Wind speed, wind direction and temperature are measured at the 150, and 250 feet levels. The 33 foot wind speed and direction sensor June2016 GN 5-16 EP-AA-1012 (Revision
- 3)
Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear readings are recorded on the Radiation Monitoring Sy$tem Panel in the Ginna Control Room. Temperatures at three tower levels are also indicated in the Control Room by digital display. This information will be relayed to the NRC Operations Center and the New York State and County EOCs. Meteorological data is available continuously and is also programmed for printout at 15 minute averages, accessible from the TSC and EOF. Rainfall is measured by a tipping bucket rain gauge located at the base of the Ginna weather tower. Wind direction, wind speed, and temperature indications from the three tower elevations are also registered on the Ginna Plant Process Computer System. Instrumentation and calibration procedures associated with the Ginna meteorological program are in conformance with Regulatory Guide 1.23. The weather tower is equipped with redundant sensing devices for use as backup indicators of wind speed, direction, temperature and temperature difference.
All meteorological data will be collected and computer processed to provide estimates of radioactive materials transport and diffusion under routine and accident conditions.
Power for the meteorological measurements system and associated equipment is supplied by an electrical feed separate from the plant. Means for remote interrogation of the meteorological system by telephone link is available to the TSC and EOF via computer terminals at each location.
The Buffalo International Airport (National Weather Service) has meteorological instrumentation readings which can be accessed by private phone number on a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> basis. A backup weather tower is located in close proximity south of the plant, and has a wind direction and speed recorder.
Means for remote interrogation of the backup meteorological system is available at the TSC and EOF via computer terminal.
An implementing procedure describes the method by which onsite meteorological information is used for the estimation of offsite radiation doses. Based upon wind conditions and determined atmospheric stability, estimates of downwind radioactivity concentrations and doses can be made by dose assessment staff using computerized calculation methods. 5.3.11 Environs Radiological Monitoring:
Sampling systems are established for normal environmental sampling in the immediate area surrounding the plant and also in locations whose distance from the plant roughly corresponds to 1/1 OOth of the onsite radioactivity concentrations estimated from annual average atmospheric dispersion.
These stations contain provisions for air sampling and for radiation dose measurement.
Certain stations include precipitation collectors.
They provide information about the extent of a general emergency and its effect on the environment, in accordance with appropriate implementing procedures.
In addition, an array of dosimeters is in place at the site boundary, at the offsite sampling stations (approximately 10 miles) and at the onsite sampling stations.
- Up to 18 additional have been placed at specified locations, which will add to the evaluation of doses throughout the Emergency Planning Zone. June 2016 GN 5-17 EP-AA-1012 (Revision
- 3)
Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear The placement of these dosimeters around Ginna Station for routine or accident radiation assessment is given in an implementing procedure.
Maps are included in that procedure so as to locate the TLDs for best coverage (Figure* 5.2). The radiological program provided meets the minimum requirements of the NRC Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position for Environmental Radiological Environmental Monitoring.
Monitoring teams are quickly dispatched to follow designated routes for the field monitoring within the plume exposure zone. A Ginna Station procedure details the method used for the rapid field determination of airborne particulate and radioiodine concentrations following an accident in addition to radiation levels. The procedure consists of operating a portable air sampler which contains a silver zeolite cartridge and particulate filter, followed by direct filter measurement with a count rate meter probe. The minimum sensitivity for iodine by this method, based upon a 6 minute sampling time, is approximately 2.3 E-8 microcurie/cc.
It is recognized that under certain post-accident conditions, some unavoidable interference from noble gas or high background levels may affect the initial filter readings being taken in the field. The absorption of noble gases in the charcoal cartridge would lead to an overestimate of airborne radioiodine concentrations.
Therefore, silver -zeolite is used. If background levels are too high to determine a proper filter reading, filter measurements will be made at an alternate location out of the radiation plume. Air samples collected by Offsite Monitoring Teams from portable sampling devices and from fixed air monitoring systems may be evaluated using higher sensitivity methods with onsite or near-site analytical equipment (e.g., environmental laboratory).

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear 5.3.12 Emergency Instruments and Equipment:
Emergency equipment for the various centers is described in step 5.1.7. This equipment is checked periodically according to the schedule in implementing procedures to ensure that it is available and operable.
Any instrument or equipment found to be in need of repair or calibration is immediately replaced from the Radiation Protection reserve supplies.
Instruments are calibrated along with plant instruments by the Radiation Protection section according to RP procedures which meet the manufacturers' recommendations.
Sufficient reserves of instruments and equipment are available to replace those that are removed from service for maintenance and/or calibration.
5.3.13 Public Alerting System: An alerting system to make the public aware of an incident at Ginna Station which may require protective action on their part has been developed and installed.
The Ginna prompt public alerting-system consists of 96 sirens. In addition, tone alert radios have been provided at schools, nursing homes and industrial establishments as an enhancement to the Public Alerting System. Tone alert radio locations are listed in EPG-1, Emergency Preparedness Guideline.
The special supplemental needs of transient populations at locations such as motels, parks and work camps will be addressed, as necessary, within the individ_ual county plans. Instructions for transient populations have been distributed to such locations.
The objectives of the Ginna prompt public alerting system are twofold: to alert the general public both indoors and outdoors of the existence of an emergency situation and to provide for the communication of preliminary emergency information.
The design objective for this system is to complete the initial alerting of the affected population within the Plume Exposure Pathway within 15 minutes after the notification of State and local governments by the Ginna. The system was designed to assure coverage of essentially 100% of the population within the 10 mile E_mergency Planning Zone. The control of the system rests with the county officials within their respective borders. In Monroe County, the County Executive has this authority and, in Wayne County, it is the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors.
Sirens are activated by the counties and maintained by Ginna. Tone alert radios are activated by a radio signal from the Emergency Alert System (EAS). The sirens activate for 3 to 5 minutes. 5.3.13.1 Siren Backup: June 2016 A backup activation point is available in each county for activating the alert system should the primary transmitter fail. The siren portion of the alert system is designed to produce a minimum 1 OdB(C) above ambient sound levels in all portions of the Emergency Planning Zone or a sound level of at least 60 dB for population areas with <2,000 persons/mile or 70dB for population areas with >2,000 persons/mile.
GN 5-20 EP-AA-1012 (Revision
- 3)
Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear The Technical Support Center has an activation point that can be used as a back-up for both Monroe and Wayne Counties.
Each county also has a method for back-up alerting.
In the Wayne County portion of the 10-mile EPZ, route alerting is activated by the Wayne County EOG and carried out using loudspeakers mounted on county-owned emergency response vehicles.
Monroe County's back-up alerting method is a mass-notification reverse-calling system that can send emergency alert messages to specific geographical areas. 5.3.13.2 Siren Testing: Siren reliability Will be tested periodically at 3 levels of operation: 1 . Bi-weekly silent tests to verify system electronic components are functioning.
- 2. Quarterly manually-activated growl tests 3. Annual full duration audible tests of the entire system. Periodic surveys will be taken by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to determine any difficulties which may require. corrective measures.
Alert system operations reliability is expected to be greater than 95%. Sirens are powered off the RG&E distribution system which has better than 99% availability.
It is fed from the New York State Power Pool grid; therefore, it is not dependent on the operation of Ginna. The Company has the responsibility for maintaining the siren alert system operable.
The location 'Of sirens is given in the Ginna Alert and Notification System (ANS) Design Report. A siren verification system is installed providing remote feedback capability to both counties and Ginna from all 96 siren units. The system is used to verify proper siren activation and to verify whether inadvertent siren activations have occurred.
When appropriate, growl testing of the sirens will be conducted following preventive or corrective maintenance.
Depending on the. scope of the maintenance, the work order will determine if growl testing is appropriate.
5.3.13.3 Emergency,Alert System: June 2016 If the sirens are activated, the Emergency Alert System (EAS) will notify the public of the actions they should take. During an emergency at Ginna, activation of the EAS will be the result of a cooperative decision between lead officials of Wayne and Monroe Counties and New York State. In extenuating circumstances, activation requests may be made unilaterally by one of those entities.
Sample messages to be given over the. EAS via radio and television are part of the county procedures.
A calendar that is distributed annually provides information regarding the system and appropriate actions to be taken. The Wayne County Public Information Officer (PIO) will notify the Local Primary (LP-1) station of an imminent EAS broadcast and will coordinate the broadcast time for the message. If Ginna's JIG has not been activated, or all GN 5-21 EP-AA-1012 (Revision
- 3)
Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear lead PIOs have not yet reported there when the decision is made by either county to request EAS activation, coordination of the message preparation may take place between the Wayne and Monroe County EOCs. If Wayne County cannot contact the LP-1 station, the Wayne County PIO will communicate the approved EAS message* to Monroe County. Monroe County will read the EAS message to the LP-1 station via a telephone at the Monroe County EOG that is hard-wired into the LP-1 station's newsroom.
5.3.14 Fire Protection Facilities:
The fire protection facilities are comprised of a number of automatic and automatic protection systems as well as assessment and alerting equipment.
Fire protection facilities have been installed in accordance with NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluations.

The shielding includes supplemental shields in front of the containment personnel hatch and 20 inch walls, east and south sides and the roof of the Control Room. The equipment access hatch is shielded by a 3 feet thick concrete shadow* shield and a 1 foot concrete roof to reduce scattered dose levels. Concrete walls and ceiling of the Technical Support Center provide shielding.
5.4.2 Protective
Ventilation:
During normal operation a varying amount of fresh outside air is admitted to the Control Room via the normal Control Room ventilation system. If sensors detect high radiation levels, chlorine gas or ammonia gas in the Control Room outside air intake, the Control Room is automatically isolated, the normal Control Room ventilation system is secured, and two trains of the Control Room Emergency Air Treatment System *(GREATS) will automatically start. GREATS provides charcoal and high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration for removal of radioactive particles and gaseous iodine from the Control Room atmosphere.
The Technical Support Center has filtered fresh air makeup, with charcoal filtration, to meet habitability requirements for occupancy.

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear Appendix 5 SUMMARIES OF INTERFACING EMERGENCY PLANS 1. New York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan: The purpose of the NYS Plan is to minimize the risk to the health of the inhabitants of the State in the event of a radiological emergency.
This will be accomplished by identifying measures to prevent and mitigate such an emergency; by developing mechanisms to coordinate Federal, State, local and private sector resources, during and after such an emergency; and by providing for recovery following a radiological emergency.
The New York State Department of Health is the state agency having primary responsibility in this area. The New York State Public Health Law gives the Commissioner of Health broad authority for protecting the health and life of the people of New York State, including protection against ionizing radiation.
The State Sanitary Code, Part 16, which implements the Public Health Law, includes requirements relating to accidents, emergencies; or incidents.
Article 2-B of the New York State Executive Law (State and Local Natural and Manmade Disaster Preparedness) created a State Disaster Preparedness Commission.
This Commission is charged with a wide variety of power and responsibilities, designed to provide a comprehensive emergency system to prevent or react to emergencies or disasters within the State. Among these responsibilities are: (1) to develop and maintain a State plan and to assist local government in developing such plans; (2) to direct State disaster operations and
- coordinate State operations with local disaster operations; (3) to coordinate recovery operations and recovery as*sistance; and (4) to provide training to assure th.at responsible personnel are familiar with plans and procedures.
Where, by tradition, emergency plans have been primarily concerned with response activities, New York State has adopted an overall emergency.
preparedness system which includes two interrelated critical phases. (1) Preventive/Mitigation:
This is the initial phase of activities that is aimed at eliminating or reducing the probability of the occurrence of a radiological emergency, and at minimizing the impact of a radiological
- emergency on public healt.h and property.
These activities include the development of new legislation and the development of preparedness plans and training programs.
Prevention/mitigation activities form a basis for enhancing the quality of response operations.
(2) Response:
June 2016 The response phase follows the identification or notification of an emergency.
Generally, response activities are planned to minimize the adverse impact on public health and to protect property, to the extent possible, through emergency assistance.
These activities include accident A5-1 EP-AA-1012 (Revision

- 2. Wayne County Radiological Emergency Response Plan (CRERP): When considering radiological emergencies, preparedness, response, and recovery are general responsibilities which are shared by all levels of government and the nuclear facility operators.
These emergencies will be dealt with at the local or county level until such time that the county's resources have been exhausted.
At this point, in addition to technical guidance and evaluation, the county will request state assistance through the New York State Emergency Management Office (SEMO). The mission of the County Emergency Response Organization and the County Radiological Emergency Response Plan (CRERP) is to protect the health and safety of the general public of Wayne County in the unlikely event of a
- radio.logical release incident at the Ginna Nuclear Power Plant. , In order to successfully execute this mission it will be necessary to perform the following operations: 1 . Monitor and assess the scope and magnitude of the incident;
- 2. Evaluate and decide which protective action response options should be initiated;
- 3. Implement the appropriate protective action response option (or combination of options, if necessary.)
The successful implementation of-the CRERP will depend on the efficient and effective coordination with
- other emergency response organizations.
Specifically, the CRERP will be closely coordinated with the RERP of Monroe County; the New York State Radiological Emergency Plan; and the Ginna Station Nuclear Emergency Response Plan.

Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 1 : Introduction As required in the conditions set forth by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the operating licenses for the Exelon Nuclear Stations, the management*
of Exelon recognizes its responsibility and authority to operate and maintain the nuclear power stations in such a manner as to provide for the safety of the general public. The Exelon Emergency Preparedness Program consists of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Emergency Plan (E-Plan), Station Annexes, emergency plan implementing procedures, and associated program administrative documents.
The Exelon E-Plan outlines the basis for response actions that would be implemented in an emergency.
Planning efforts common to all Exelon Nuclear stations are encompassed within the E-Plan. ' This document serves as the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station (NMPNS) Emergency Plan Annex and contains information and guidance that is unique to the station. This includes facility geography location for a full understanding and representation of the station's emergency response capabilities.
The Station Annex is subject to the same review and audit requirements as the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Emergency Plan. 1.1 Purpose This Station Annex describes the total preparedness program established, implemented and coordinated by NMPNS to assure the capability and readiness of coping with and mitigating both onsite and offsite consequences of radiological emergencies.
The Station Annex covers the spectrum of emergencies from minor localized incidents to major emergencies involving protective measures by offsite response organizations.
Included are guidelines for immediate response, assessment of emergency situations, defined action criteria and delineation of support functions.
Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures provide detailed information for individuals who may be involved with specific emergency response functions.
- *This Station Annex provides for a graded scale of response to distinct classifications for emergency conditions, action within those classifications, and criteria for escalation to a more severe classification.
This *Classification system is compatible with that used by the State of New York and the Oswego County Emergency Management Office. The plans have four emergency categories:
Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency.
In addition to notifying the offsite agencies of the existing emergency classification, provisions are made in the implementing procedures for the Station to advise the State and County of appropriate protective actions. 1.2 Emergency Organization The organization for control of emergencies begins with the shift organization of the affected unit(s) and contains provisions for augmentation and extension to include
- other Division personnel, and outside emergency response organizations.
As an incident increases in severity or . potential severity, the emergency response and corresponding response organization must necessarily increase in size. Staffing levels have been established to provide appropriate response and are discussed in detail in Section 2.0 of this Station Annex. June 2016 NM 1-1 EP-AA-1013 (Revision
- 2)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear 1.3 Interrelationship Between Emergency Plan and Other Procedures Interrelationship of this Station Annex with other procedures, plans and emergency arrangements is necessary to ensure an effective response organization.
These interrelated documents include: a. Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures are designed to detail specific actions required by Station personnel in response to radiological and non-radiological emergency conditions.
A listing of these procedures is contained in Appendix C. b. Operating Procedures (OP), Emergency Operating Procedures (EOP) Special Operating Procedures (SOP), and Severe Accident Procedures (SAP) detail immediate and subsequent operator actions in response to various system transients.
These operating procedures are coordinated with the Station Annex and its implementing procedures to ensure appropriate actions are taken on a timely basis. c. Station Chemistry Department and Radiation Protection Department Procedures define health physics requirements for the control and handling of radioactive materials, personnel decontamination, and respiratory protection, sampling techniques, radiation survey techniques and radiation exposure guidelines.
Selected procedures, which are applicable to both normal and emergency conditions, are used in conjunction with the Station Annex and its implementing procedures.
- d. Station Physical Security arid Fire Protection Plans and their implementing procedures, provide overall guidance and specific instructions to Nuclear Security and Station personnel for emergencies involving security or fire. These plans and procedures are coordinated with the Station Annex and its implementing procedures to ensure compatibility, and with Offsite Plans to ensure prompt access for Offsite Response Organization Responders when necessary.
- e. The Oswego County Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan and the New York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan, in conjunction with this Station Annex and its implementing procedures, provide for early and redundant notification schemes, continued assessment and update of radiological conditions, and the coordination of onsite and offsite protective actions. The concept of operations, and its relationship to the Federal, State, local and private organizations that are part of the overall emergency response organizations, is described in Section 2.0 and 4.0. A block diagram, which illustrates these interrelationships, is included in Station Annex, Figures 4.1-4.3, Emergency Organizations Interfaces.
Illustrations of how the interfaces between various segments of response organizations change during various phases of emergency and recovery operations are shown in Station Annex, Section 4. June 2016 NM 1-2 EP-AA-1013 (Revision

Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 2: Organizational Control of Emergencies This section describes the Exelon Emergency Response Organization (ERO) at Nine Mile Point, its key positions and associated responsibilities.
It outlines the staffing requirements which provide initial emergency response actions and provisions for timely augmentation of on-shift personnel when required.
It also describes interfaces among emergency response personnel and specifies the offsite support available to respond to the nuclear generating stations.
2.1 Typical
Nuclear Division/Station Organization The typical Nuclear Division organization for normal operation is shown in GAP-POL-01, Composition and Responsibility of the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station LLC Organization.
Personnel in certain categories, principally Operations, Chemistry and Radiation Protection work in shifts so that coverage is provided 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day. For certain station conditions, such as outages, testing, etc., personnel who do not normally work on shift may work other than normal hours to provide extended coverage.
The minimum staffing at each Unit during normal operation is contained in the NMP On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report, EP-AA-1013, Addendum 1. A detailed analysis of initial on-shift responsibilities and response to an emergency
- condition is contained in the NMP On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report, EP-AA-1013, Addendum 1. 2.1.1 Station Responsibility During Normal Working Hours During normal working hours, the Vice President Nine Mile Point has overall responsibility for the. site. The Plant Manager has overall responsibility for Unit 1 and Unit 2 operations.
The Shift Manager (SM) on duty has responsibility for ensuring that the Unit is operated safely and within the respective license and Technical Specification requirements
.. The SM has the authority and responsibility to order shutdown of the reactor and/or declare an emergency if* required.
Also, any licensed reactor operator on duty in a Control Room can shutdown (scram) the reactor if it is in an unsafe condition.
2.1.2 Station
Responsibility During Off-Normal Working Hours June 2016 During off-normal working hours, the SM's have overall responsibility for the site and safe operation of their respective units. Selected management personnel are on call and may be reached through the use of an approved notification system if a SM needs to notify them of an event that requires technical consultation or requires additional personnel.
However, it is the on-duty SM who has the responsibility and authority to declare an emergency.
Upon declaring an emergency, the SM immediately becomes the Shift Emergency Director.
In the event of an emergency declaration due to an initiating condition affecting both Unit 1 and Unit 2, both Units' SMs will confer and determine:
NM 2-1 EP-AA-1013 (Revision
- 2)
- Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear
- The Shift Manager of the Unit with the higher emergency classification will become the Shift Emergency Director.
- If emergency classification levels are equal, the SM first notified will become the Shift Emergency Director.
- If there is any question as to who should initiate the Station Annex, the Unit 1 SM shall assume the Shift Emergency Director duties. 2.2 On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Assignments The initial phases of an emergency situation at a nuclear station will most likely involve a *relatively small number of individuals.
These individuals must be capable of (1) determining that an emergency exists; (2) providing initial classification and assessment; and (3) promptly notifying other groups and individuals in the emergency organization.
The subsequent phases of the emergency situation may require an increasing augmentation of the emergency organization.
All emergency facilities will have minimum staffing within 60 minutes. Minimum staff positions are defined in Table 2.1. All Exelon Nuclear stations have the capability at all times to perform detection, mitigation, classification, and notification functions required in the early phases of an emergency.
2.3 Authority
Over The Emergency Response Organization The Emergency Director in Command and Control is the designated Exelon individual who has overall authority and responsibility, management ability, and technical knowledge for coordinating all emergency activities at the nuclear power station. The Emergency Director will immediately and unilaterally initiate any emergency actions, including providing protective action recommendations to authorit.ies responsible for implementing offsite emergency measures.
The Shift Manager is available at all times to assume the responsibilities of Emergency Director.
A qualified individual is on-call to respond to the EOF and relieve the Shift Manager of Emergency Director duties. 2.4 Criteria for Assuminci Command and Control (Succession)
The responsibility for initial assessment of and response to an emergency rests with the Shift Manager. Emergency.
personnel assume responsibility for their positions upon receiving notification to activate when an event has been declared.
June 2016 NM2-2 EP-AA-1013 (Revision
- 2)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear The Emergency Director responsibilities are initially assumed by the Shift Manager. If the event is classified at an Alert or Higher level, or the Shift Manager deems it appropriate, the Shift ERO will be augmented by the on-call ERO. The on-call Corporate Emergency Director will report to the EOF and assume Command and Control. In accordance with the Nine Mile Point Emergency Plan, the TSC Emergency Director does not take Command and Control responsibilities.
- The Shift Manager is relieved of Command and Control as soon as possible after the declaration of an Alert or higher classification.
Command and Control does not transfer until the following criteria have been met:
- Adequate EOF staff levels are present in support of the non-delegable responsibilities.
- The staff has been fully briefed as to the status of the event and the currently proposed plan of action.
- A formal turnover between the Emergency Director relinquishing Command and Control and the Emergency Director assuming Command and Control has been made. 2.5 Non-Delegable Responsibilities
' . Functional responsibilities of the Emergency Director that may not be delegated are: * . Classify and declare emergencies.
- Direct and approve offsite emergency notifications to state and local authorities.
- Make Protective Action Recommendations to offsite authorities.
- Ensure appropriate evacuation actions for plant personnel.
- Approve emergency exposures and/or the issuance of Kl.
- 2.6 Emergency Response Organization Positional Responsibilities Table 2.1 outlines ERO positions required to meet minimum staffing and full augmentation of the on-shift complement at an Alert or higher classification, and* the major tasks assigned to each position.
The full augmentation staffing levels are used as a planning basis to cover a wide range of possible events. For extended events (one which lasts for more than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />), actual staffing will be established by the Emergency Director based on the event and personnel availability.
However, additional staffing or reduced staffing will only occur after discussion concerning the impact on plant operations and emergency response.
The station's ERO consist of three major sub groups reporting to the Emergency Director:
June 2016 NM 2-3 EP-AA-1013 (Revision
- 2)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear
- Onsite ERO, consisting of Control Room, TSC, OSC and Security staffs. The primary functions of the Onsite ERO is perform mitigative actions and ensure appropriate onsite protective actions are taken.
- Offsite ERO, consisting of EOF staff. The primary functions of the Offsite ERO are to interface with offsite authorities and perform offsite radiological assessment.
- Public Information ERO, consisting of JIG staff. The primary function of the Public information ERO is to provide accurate information to the public through News Media. 2.7 Emergency Response Organization Block Diagram Figures 2.2 through 2.6 show the reporting chains and interfaces of the ERO. 2.8 Corporate Emergency Response Organization In the event of a declared emergency at one of Exelon's Nuclear Stations, a Corporate Duty Officer is notified.
The Duty Officer will notify senior company management personnel of the event. The Emergency Director will keep senior management informed of events and any need for assistance.
Specific departments of the company may be called on to assist as necessary to provide support for logistics, public information, finance, technical issues, etc .. Senior management may assist with interfacing government authorities and other outside organizations.
2.9 Industry/Private Support Organizations Exelon retains contractors to provide supporting services to the company's nuclear generating stations.
For station specific support, copies of current contracts and letters of agreement with these groups are maintained by the Emergency Preparedness Department.
Current contracts and letters of agreement are maintained in the Emergency Preparedness Department's files. a. Support from Other Nuclear Power Plants: The Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station is a co-signator to a Letter of Agreement (see Appendix 2) between the James A. Fitzpatrick Nuclear Power Plant, R. E. Ginna Power Station and the NMPNS. In the event of a radiological emergency or other situations resulting in the need for additional equipment and/or personnel assistance, these plants have agreed to provide assistance as requested.
June 2016 NM 2-4 EP-AA-1013 (Revision

Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear 2.10 Coordination with Participating Government Agencies 2.10.1 Federal Agencies The principal Federal government agencies having emergency responsibilities relative to the NMPNS, and a summary of those responsibilities, are: a. U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) The DOE, Brookhaven Area Office, will respond to requests from NMPNS for assistance.
This assistance is limited to advice and emergency action(s) essential for the control of the immediate hazards to public health and safety. The primary method of notification to DOE is by commercial telephone.
Notification may also be made through NRC. Assistance can be requested by the NMPNS ED/RM, the Oswego County Emergency Management Director or the Commissioner of the New York State Department of Health. Medical Assistance provided by DOE could also include medical assistance by the Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site (REAC/TS)
Support from Oak Ridge. When notified of an emergency the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Plan (FRMAP) team would request a Coast Guard helicopter pick up a six person team at Brookhaven and fly them to the Nine Mile Point area with their equipment.
Approximate arrival time of five (5) hours from notification is expected.
This team would provide initial radiation surveys, obtain airborne samples and analyze these samples with the equipment available.
The team would also act as an advance party to establish an initial base of operations for follow-on personnel.
A possible location for the FRMAP team to set up operations is the Oswego County Airport, which is about ten (10) miles from the NMPNS and in close proximity to the Emergency Response Facilities yet still outside of the 10 mile EPZ. Use of this airport facility would also allow for equipment to be flown in on fixed wing aircraft close to the facilities that would be used for staging and dispatch.
- b. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) June 2016 Two (2) licensed hydroelectric developments are situated within a ten (10) mile radius of the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station and the James A. Fitzpatrick Nuclear Power Plant. The Minetto and Varick Hydroelectric Stations are part of Project Number 2474 licensed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
A plan has been developed to implement a response plan to safely shutdown and evacuate these hydroelectric facilities.
This would be done in the event of a radiological emergency at either nuclear station. In addition, this plan addresses the means to minimize the impact to the public as a result of this emergency shutdown of the hydroelectric stations.

/ Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear 2.10.2 State and Local Agencies This section identifies the principal State and local government agencies having action responsibilities in the event of a radiological emergency, including a Hostile Action Based event, in the vicinity of the NMPNS. The radiological emergency response plans of these agencies:
describe their respective
- responsibilities, authorities, capabilities and emergency functions; contain provisions for preparedness and response to radiological emergencies by each organization; and contain the primary and alternate methods of emergency notifications.
- a. Oswego County Emergency Management Office (OCEMO) June 2016 The OCEMO is the lead government agency for coordination and response at the local level. The Oswego County Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan contains provisions for:
- Planning and coordination with local, State and Federal authorities
- Initial response to notification by NMPNS
- Alert and warning of local political subdivision
- Notification of other emergency response personnel
- Public information concerning the incident
- Evacuation and other protective measures for local populations Normally the OCEMO is notified by NMPNS via the County Warning Point. It may, however, be notified by the New York State Office of Emergency Management (NYSOEM).
A secondary method of notification is via radio from the NMPNS to the County EOG or County Warning Point. NM 2-6 EP-AA-1013 (Revision

Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 3: Emergency Conditions
3.1 Classification
System The spectrum of probable and postulated emergency conditions have been categorized into four emergency classes. Emergency Action Level (EAL) criteria have been specified for recognizing, categorizing and declaring emergency classes based, to the extent feasible, on readily available information such as Control Room instrumentation.
In many cases the emergency classification is immediately apparent from in-plant instrumentation and is consistent with requirements of USN RC Regulatory Guide 1.101. In other cases more extensive assessment is necessary to determine the applicable emergency classification.
In any case, continuing assessment ensures that the emergency classification is commensurate with the severity of the emergency condition.
The information is presented by recognition Category with the associated Unit system/ equipment or instrument parameters clearly defined:
- Reactor Fuel
- Electrical Failures
- Equipment Failures
- Hazards
- Other
- Radioactivity Release Each EAL Initiating Condition is structured in the following way:
- Recognition Category-as described above
- Emergency Class-Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency and General Emergency
- Initiating Condition-Symptom-or Event-Based, Identification and Title

The 15 minute criterion does not prevent implementation of response actions to protect the public health and safety provided that any delay in declaration does not deny the State and Local authorities the opportunity to implement emergency response actions. The 15 minute criterion commences when plant instrumentation, plant alarms, computer displays or incoming verbal reports that correspond to an EAL first June 2016 NM 3-1 EP-AA-1013 (Revision

Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear become available to any plant operator and encompasses all assessment, classification, verification and declaration actions. As used here, "plant operator
means any member of the plant staff who, by virtue of training and experience, is qualified to assess the indications or reports for validity and to compare the same to the EALs. A "plant operator
does not encompass plant personnel such as chemists, radiation protection technicians, craft personnel, security personnel, and others whose positions require they report, rather than assess, abnormal conditions to the control room. In the case where EALs are related to an analysis, e.g. dose assessment or sampling, the 15 minute declaration period starts with the availability .of analysis results, to any plant operator, that show the conditions of the EAL to be exceeded.
Procedures EP-CE-111, Emergency Classification and Protective Action Recommendations, provide specific implementation guidance on this classification system. Figure 3.1 provides action and participation by response organizations for the various emergency classifications.
EP-AA-1013, Addendums 3 and 4 provide the basis by which each of the emergency action levels was determined.
3.1.1 Unusual
Event 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.
No releases of radioactive material requ'iring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. Although the emergency situation can be corrected and/or controlled, notification of NMPNS Management may be performed.
In addition, appropriate offsite agencies are notified of the nature and extent of the incident, even though no action may be required of them. 3.1.2 Alert 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 a hostile act.

Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.0 Emergency Measures Emergency Measures are actions taken to ensure that an emergency situation is assessed and that proper corrective and/or protective actions are taken. These actions include activation .of the appropriate components of the emergency organizations, both on-site and off-site; assessment of plant systems status and radiological conditions; mitigative actions to mitigate or terminate an emergency situation; protective actions to minimize the consequences of the emergency to Station personnel and to the general public in the Station environs; decontamination and medical treatment for Station personnel; and other supporting actions such as timely and accurate emergency news releases.
to the public media. This section describes the emergency measures which may be performed and applicable criteria, guidelines and methodology for performing those measures.
4.1 Initiation
of Emergency Actions Emergency a.ctions are initiated primarily in response to alarmed instrumentation, but may be initiated through notification to the Control Rooms by individual(s) at the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station who become aware of an apparent emergency situation or by persons outside of the plant in the case of severe weather warnings or hostile actions. The affected unit Control Room Operator (CRO) performs the necessary immediate actions to contend with the off-normal situation in-accordance with instrument alarm response procedures (which_ are contained in the Operating Procedures), Special Operating Procedures, _ Emergency Operating Procedures and/or other appropriate procedures.
The CRO promptly notifies the affected unit SM of the potential emergency situation.
This SM assesses the situation and, if declares the emergency.
As delineated in Section 4.1 of -this Emergency Plan, NMPNS maintains the capability to assess, classify and declare an emergency within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an Emergency Action Level (EAL) has been exceeded.
The affected unit SM assumes the role of NMPNS Shift Emergency Director until responsibilities are relieved by the Corporate Emergency Director in the EOF. In the event of an emergency declaration due*to an initiating condition affecting both Unit 1 and Unit 2, both Units' SMs will confer and determine:
- The Unit with the higher emergency classification will become the Shift Emergency Director.
- If emergency classification levels are equal, the SM first notified will become the Shift Emergency Director.
- If there is any question as to who should initiate the Station Annex, the Unit 1 SM shall assume the Shift Emergency Director duties. June 2016 NM 4-1 (Revision
- 2)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.2 The Shift Emergency Director continues to assess and classify the condition and initiates the appropriate corrective and protective actions and ensures activation . of the necessary segments of the total emergency organization.
The Operating Procedures contain appropriate action statements which refer the operator to the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures when specified plant
- parameter values are exceeded or equipment status warrants such response.
Severe Accident Procedure (SAP) entry conditions are defined in the station Emergency Operating Procedures.
The Shift Emergency Director, in consultation with the Station Emergency Director, determines when SAP entry is required.
Activation of Emergency Organization This section describes the provisions for notifying and/or activating groups and organizations within the emergency organization in response to potential or actual emergency events at the station. Procedures for notifying, alerting and mobilizing emergency response organizations, including message authentication, are contained in procedure EP-CE-114-100, Emergency Notifications (CNG). Figure 4.1 summarizes the notification/activation of both the onsite and the offsite emergency organization and designates potential action requirements for each emergency classification.
A diagram identifying the major emergency and their interfaces during various stages is shown in Figures 4.2 and 4.3. 4.2.1 Offsite Notification and Follow-up Messages The contents of initial emergency notification messages which would be sent from the affected unit to New York State and Oswego County is contained in CE-114-100.
Notification Fact Sheets were developed in conjunction with New York State and Oswego County, and serve as the means of initial emergency notification.
The contents of the Notification Fact Sheets are consistent with the . guidance outlined in Section 11.E of NUREG-0654.
As a minimum, the following information is provided:
o Facility name, communicator name and call back telephone number o Date/time of incident o Class of emergency o Brief description of event o . Radioactive material release information o Protective action recommendations o Event prognosis o Meteorological information June 2016 NM 4-2 EP-AA-1013 (Revision
- 2)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear Follow-up notifications are made at regular intervals as detailed in EP-CE-114-100 and contain information consistent with the guidance detailed in Section 11.E of NUREG-0654.
As a minimum the follow-up information contains the above information and the following:
0
- Actual or projected dose rates and projected integrated dose rates at site boundary 0 Projected dose rates and integrated dose at projected peak and at 2, 5 and 10 miles 0 Surface contamination estimates A mutual agreement has been reached between New York State Licensees and New-York State excluding event prognosis information fro"m initial notification messages:
4.2.2 Offsite
Emergency Organization
- a. Offsite Authorities The Corporate Emergency Director ensures that offsite authorities are notified and apprised of potential or actual emergency events at the NMPNS. Notifications are made to the Oswego County and New York State Warning Points using methods described in EP-CE-114-100.
Notification to these authorities of an Unusual Event, an Alert, a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency commences within 15 minutes following the declaration of an emergency cfassification.
A representative .from NMPNS may be sent to the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) and to the Oswego County Emergency Operations Center (OCEOC) for a Site Area or General Emergency when the SEOC and the OCEOC, respectively, is fully activated.
These representatives aid and assist the New York State Disaster Preparedness Commissioner and the Chairman of the Oswego County Legislature, or their representatives, in defining the extent of the emergency and mitigating measures being taken. Backup radiological emergency assistance may be provided by the U.S. De*partment of Energy in Brookhaven, N.Y. Notifications for assistance may be made by the NMPNS Corporate Emergency Director, by the Oswego County Emergency Management Director or by the New York State Commissioner of Health. 4.2.3 On-Site Notification and Organization
- a. Notification of NMPNS personnel takes place through the foilowing methods: June 2016 1) PA System (GAltronics).
This system is capable of sending voice messages and signals indicating a fire, station alarm, or evacuation alarm to all areas within the protected area. It is used to alert personnel onsite of emergency conditions.
NM 4-3 EP-AA-1013 (Revision
- 2)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear 2) Telephone.
The telephone can be used to contact any needed personnel during emergency conditions.
EP-CE-114-100 contains the implementing procedures for making appropriate notifications.
- b. Upon being informed of a . potential or actual emergency condition, the affected unit SM immediately assesses the condition.
The SM ensures that appropriate actions have been initiated to maintain the safe and proper operation of the plant. This SM then classifies the condition as an Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency or General Emergency.
If the event is classified as an emergency (as defined in EP-CE-111) that requires implementation of this Plan, the SM assumes the role of Shift Emergency Director and takes the following actions:
- 1) Implement immediate actions in accordance with this Plan and the applicable Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
- 2) Ensure that on-site emergency response individuals and groups are notified (and off-site groups, if conditions require), using the PA system and/or direct communications.
- 3) Notify on-site individuals to implement a Local Area/Building, Protected Area or Exclusion Area Evacuation, if appropriate, which may include accountability.
These notifications are made by sounding the appropriate alarm followed by an announcement of supplementary information over the PA system. *Notification is also made to the JAFNPP Control Room (who then activates their notification system). 4) May notify the Plant Manager or their designated alternate to apprise them of the situation.
Because of the probable short duration and/or low severity of the condition, the Shift Emergency Director responsibilities are likely to remain with the SM through termination of Unusual Event classifications.
- 5) Ensure that off-duty station personnel are notified to provide assistance with emergency activities as necessary.
This notification process is described in EP-CE-114-100.
Off-duty personnel are called in as required.
- 6) Notify appropriate TSC, OSC *and EOF personnel if the condition is classified as an Alert or higher . . 4.3 Assessment Actions Provisions are made for assessment and continuing re-assessment throughout the course of an emergency to ensure the effective coordination, direction and upgrading of emergency activities in a timely manner. The assessment actions are described in detail in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
4.3.1 Unusual
Event June 2016 NM 4-4 EP-AA-1013 (Revision
- 2)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear The purpose of the Unusual Event classification is to provide early warning of minor events, which could lead to more serious consequences.
The Unusual Event conditions represent potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection.
No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite, response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. Declaring an Unusual Event assures that the first step for any response later found to be needed, has been carried out by bringing onsite staff and offsite organizations to a state of readiness, thus providing a system for handling information and decision making. The NRG; State, and Oswego County authorities will be promptly notified to assure that the first step of any necessary response can quickly be initiated.
Offsite organizations will standby for further information or termination.
On-shift *resources can be augmented to assess and respond as needed. 4.3.2 Alert Events of the Alert classification involve actual or potential 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 a hostile act. Any radioactivity released would result in exposures of only a small fraction of the guidelines for required offsite action. By assuring that emergency personnel are available, protective actions, such as performing confirmatory radiation monitoring and providing
/ offsite authorities with current status information, will be ensured. For events which fall into the Alert classification, the Emergency Response*
Organization will promptly notify the NRC, State and County authorities of the Alert Classification and the reasons for the classification.
The TSC and EOF will be staffed to assist in the assessment of the incident and determination of proper responses.
Periodic plant status updates will be given to offsite authorities who
- will also be advised of any change in the classification of the event. Non-essential personnel will normally be evacuated from the protected area (provided it is safe) to designated locations outside of the protected area at this level. All ERO personnel will assemble at their designated emergency facilities, and accountability may also be initiated.
This ensures that:
- Appropriate staff is available to mitigate the event,
- The potential to over-expose non-essential personnel is minimized,
- Non-essential personnel are prepared for possible exclusion area evacuation by pre-staging these,personnel outside of the protected area . . The JIC will be staffed in order to coordinate public information activities warranted by the emergency.
Offsite agencies may activate their resources and facilities and may alert other emergency personnel, such as monitoring teams, communication
- centers, the Emergency Alert System (EAS), and law June 2016 NM 4-5 EP-AA-1013 (Revision
- 2)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear enforcement.
They will be ready to escalate to a more severe classification, if appropriate.
- 4.3.3 Site Area Emergency A Site Area Emergency (SAE) is declared when events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for the protection of the public 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) prevents effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except near the site boundary.
In the event that a SAE is declared, the actions to be taken by various plant groups are detailed in the implementing procedures for the plant. The Emergency Response Organization will make the initial notification to the County authorities, State, and NRC. The purpose of declaring a SAE is to assure that non-essential personnel are protected in the event of a release of radioactive materials.
Should a release be anticipated or in progress, non-essential personnel will normally be directed to evacuate to the either the Offsite Assembly Area (provided it is safe) for monitoring and if necessary decontamination, or home if there was no release of contamination from the station. If no release is anticipated or in progress, essential personnel will normally remain at designated locations within the exclusion area, to permit more rapid return of *personnel to normal duties. Accountability of personnel remaining within the protected area, as a minimum will commence at this level, and continues until event termination or escalation.
Also, offsite agency authorities will be available at primary response centers for consultation and updates on the situation, and to provide information to the public. For events which fall into the SAE classification, the County, State, and NRC will be promptly notified of the SAE classification,*
and the reasons for the SAE classification.
The TSC and EOF will be.staffed to assist in the assessment of the incident and determination of proper responses.
Periodic plant status updates will be given to offsite authorities who will also be advised of any change in the'classification of the event. The JIC will .be staffed in order to coordinate public information activities warranted by the emergency.
Offsite agencies may activate their resources and facilities and may alert other emergency personnel, such as monitoring teams, communication centers, EAS, and law enforcement.
They will be ready to escalate to a more severe classification, if appropriate.

Nine. Miie Point Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.3.4 General Emergency A General Emergency (GE) is declared when events are in progress or. have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core damage or melting with potential loss of containment integrity or security events that result in an actual loss of physical control of the facility.
Releases of radioactive material can be expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area. In the event that a GE is declared, the actions to be taken by the various plant groups are detailed in the implementing procedures for the plant. The Emergency Response Organization will make the initial notification to the County authorities, State, and NRC. Initial notification of a GE shall contain initial Protective Action Recommendations.
The purposes for declaring the GE are:
- To initiate protective actions for the public and site personnel as predetermined by projected, or by actual releases.
- To provide continuous assessment of information from the affected unit.
- To provide for consultation with offsite authorities.
- To keep the public informed through the JIC.
- To evacuate non-essential personnel from the exclusion area (provided it is safe) to either the Offsite Assembly Area (OAA) for monitoring and if necessary decontamination, or home if there has been no release of contamination from the station. The TSC and EOF will be staffed to assist in the assessment of the incident and proper determination of responses.
Periodic plant status updates will be given to offsite authorities who will also be advised of any change in the classification of the incident.
The JIC will be staffeo in order to coordinate public information activities warranted by the emergency.
Offsite agencies will activate all needed . resources and facilities.
4.4 Assessment
Capabilities
4.4.1 Field
Radiological Assessment Field radiological data is collected by onsite and offsite survey teams. The teams may be deployed for any emergency classification involving projected or actual releases of radioactive materials.
The survey teams use emergency/company vehicles (or personal vehicles, if needed) for transportation and maintain contact with the EOF or TSC. Downwind Survey equipment is maintained for emergency use by onsite and offsite survey teams.
- This equipment includes portable instrumentation for performing direct radiation surveys, performing contamination surveys and collecting and analyzing airborne samples for gross and iodine radioactivity.
- June 2016 NM4-7 EP-AA-1013 (Revision
- 2)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear Rapid assessment of any radiological hazards resulting from the gaseous effluents are made in the field using the environmental samples taken. Radiation Protection Procedures will be used to implement the required radiological surveys/samples and analyze of the results of these surveys/samples taken from within the NMPNS. Procedure EP-AA-112-500-F-55, NMP Offsite Monitoring
- Team Guidance, will be used to analyze the offsite survey and sample results to provide an initial estimate of the offsite radiological .consequences.
Rapid field assessment of liquid samples is not considered essential because the nearest drinking water supply is far enough away to provide ample time for warning the appropriate State and local authorities in the event protective measures are required.
When field liquid samples are . required, they will be taken and transported back to the appropriate facility for assessment.
4.4.2 Field
Airborne Radioiodine Assessment Monitoring for radioiodine is accomplished by the use of portable sampling pumps equipped with a particulate filter and silver zeolite cartridges.
The particulate filter and silver zeolite cartridges can be field counted in a low background area. for immediate determination of total radioiodine concentration.
Cartridges and filters can be further analyzed using gamma spectrometry in either the NMPNS counting laboratory, the environmental laboratory or the adjacent JAFNPP counting laboratory.
The lower limit of detection for radioiodine is less than 1.0E-7 µCi/cc under all weather conditions.
4.4.3 Field
Contamination Assessment A second type of radiological data which the onsite and offsite survey teams collect is surface contamination levels for the radionuclides listed in NUREG-0654, Table 3 (Radionuclides with Significant Contribution to Dominant Exposure Modes). The data obtained from these sample measurements assist in protective action decisions affecting the general public during the emergency and post-emergency .recovery/re-entry phase. This data can be used to determine 1OCFR140 applicability.
Surface contamination may be estimated using procedure EP-AA-112-500-F-55 during the emergency and actual values are determined by sampling snow, grass, soil, leafy vegetation, surface water as deemed . appropriate during emergency recovery activities.
EP-AA-112-500-F-55 describes in detail the emergency radiological environmental sampling program. June 2016 NM 4-8 EP-AA-1013 (Revision

Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.5 Dose Assessment Methods and Techniques The NMPNS has established a* method for relating various measured environmental media activity levels to dose rates for key isotopes and gross radioactivity measurements.
NMPNS has formulated provisions for estimating integrated dose from the projected and actual dose rates (refer to EP-AA-110-204, NMP Dose Assessment).
The results of these calculations can then be tabulated and compared with applicable protective action guides. The information most important in determining offsite consequences is source term, dose assessment, environmental measurements and dose projections.
The following paragraphs describe these dose assessment terms and techniques.
4.5.1 Source
Term Determination
- a. Projected Source Term Determination The release rate and/or source term from . NMPNS during a nuclear emergency can be projected as described in EP-AA-110-204, and are listed as follows: 1) Containment High Range Monitors . (CHRM) (relate CHRM to a radioactivity concentration in the drywell, then assume a flowrate from the drywell to the atmosphere).
- 2) Grab samples. 3) Back calculation from downwind gamma dose rate measurements.
- 4) UFSAR/USAR postulated accident release rates. b. Actual Source Term Determination The method for determining actual release rate for source term determination from NMPNS during a nuclear emergency are described in EP-AA-110-204, and are listed as follows: 1) Effluent monitors 2) Stack teletector (Unit 1 only) 3) Grab samples 4,5.2 Offsite Radiological Dose Assessment Process Dose assessment or projection represents the calculation of an* accumulated dose at some time in the future if current or projected conditions continue.
During an accident, the Plant Parameter Display System and personal computers will provide the ERO with the timely information required to make decisions.
Radiological and meteorological instrumentation readings are used to project dose rates at predetermined distances from the station, and to determine the integrated dose received.
Dose assessment methods used by Exelon personnel to project offsite doses include: June 2016 NM4-9
- EP-AA-1013 (Revision
- 2)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear a. Monitored Release Points -This method utilizes the plant's effluent .radiation monitors and system flow rates. Effluent release points are used to directly*
calculate a release rate. The point of the release determines the way the source term is affected and is adjusted by the dose assessment process. b.
Leakage/Failure
-This method uses a variety of containment failures or leak rates in conjunction with available source term estimations to develop a release rate to the environment.
A direct vent of containment can be modeled as a failure to isolate. c. Release Point Samples -This method uses a sample at the release point and an estimated flow rate to develop a release rate at the point of release. d. Field Monitoring Team Data -This method uses a field survey or sample and the atmospheric model to back calculate a release rate and ratio concentrations of radioactive material at various points up and downwind of plume centerline.
The computer applications used to provide dose calculations are evaluated against the EPA-400. plume exposure Protective Action Guides (PAGs) applicable for the early phase of an accident.
These evaluations place an emphasis on determining the necessity for offsite protective action recommendations.
Dose assessment actions will be performed.
in the following sequence:
- a. First, onset of a release to 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> post-accident:
- 1) Shift personnel' will rely on a simplified computerized dose model to assist them in developing offsite dose projections using real time data from effluent monitors and site meteorology.
- b. Second, 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> post-accident to event termination:
- 1) Estimates of off-site doses based on more sophisticated techniques are provided.
Dedicated ERO personnel will analyze the offsite consequences of a release using more complex computerized dose modeling.
These additional methods are able to analyze more offsite conditions than the simplified quick method, as well account for* rnore specific source term considerations
4.5.3 Onsite
Dose Assessment and Protective Actions Health Physics procedures provides procedures for assessing the. radiological conditions on,site, and protective actions needed in response to those actual or. projected conditions.
EP-CE-113, Personnel Protective Actions provides for control of emergency exposures.
4.5.4 Environmental
Measurements
- The second method available to assess dose is based on measured activity in environmental media. Dose can also be determined on the basis of plant and June 2016 NM 4-10 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 2).
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear environmental measurements collected per EP-AA-112-500-F-55 and the post-accident sampling procedures.
Environmental samples collected by the downwind survey teams and environmental survey teams are retu.rned for laboratory analysis.
Environmental media such as milk, human food products and water are analyzed in a laboratory environment to determine the concentrations of key isotopes which wo.uld then be converted (either by hand calculation or computer using appropriate formulas) to dose. 4.5.5 Dose Projection
- a. Preliminary estimates of total population exposure are made using the method in EP-AA-110-204, and EP-AA-112-500-F-55.
These preliminary estimates are based ori projected or actual field measurements made during the course of the emergency.*
During the recovery phase of the emergency, these estimates are refined based upon actual emergency and environmental Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimeters (OSLO) results, information obtained from the Oswego County Emergency Management Office on evacuated and sheltered population, and evacuation time .estimates for various Emergency Response Planning Areas (ERPA's).
4.6 Mitigative
Actions Detailed Emergency Operating Procedures, Special Operating Procedures, and Severe Accident Procedures as appropriate are used by the station operating personnel to assist them in recognizing potential or actual emergency events and responding to emergency and severe accident conditions.
These procedures describe the mitigative actions necessary to place the plant in a safe condition.
Additionally, Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures, as listed in this Station Annex, Appendix 3, describe subsequent and/or supplemental mitigative actions for the scope of potential situations within each of the emergency classifications.
These Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures are designed to guide the actions of personnel to correct or mitigate a condition as early and as near to the source of the problem as feasible.
- 4. 7 . Protective Actions Protective actions are measures which are implemented to prevent or mitigate consequences to individuals during or after a radiological incident.
Protective actions within the NMPNS site boundary are the responsibility of the NMPNS Emergency Director, but may include assistance by off-site organizations.
Protective actions outside the NMPNS site boundary are primarily the responsibility of State and local emergency organizations, but may include June2016 .. NM 4-11 EP-AA-1013 (Revision
- 2)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear coordination of activities, dissemination of appropriate data and recommendations by the NMPNS Emergency Director.
4.7.1 Onsite
Protective Actions Onsite protective actions are directed by *the Emergency Director and are reviewed to consider the possible impact on the activities of offsite response personnel prior to being ordered. The primary protective measure for onsite personnel in an emergency is prompt evacuation from areas which may be affected by significant radiation, contamination or airborne radioactivity.
For personnel who must stay onsite as part of the on-site emergency response team other protective measures may be used as discussed in the following sections.
- In addition, a range of protective actions to protect onsite personnel during hostile* action events has been developed.
This range of protective actions ensures the continued ability *to safely shut down the reactors and perform emergency response functions.
The response functions include:
- Evacuation of personnel from target buildings
- Site evacuation by opening gates, while continuing to defend them
- Dispersal of Licensed Operators
- Sheltering personnel away from potential.site targets
- Accounting for personnel after the attack The following are the primary onsite protective actions: a. Local Area/Building Evacuation June 2016 A local area/building evacuation is confined to local areas or buildings within the protected area. This evacuation requires all personnel within the designated area or building to rapidly exit the area/building and remain clear of the area/building until further notice. The decision to implement a local area/building evacuation is the responsibility of the Emergency Director.
This decision is based largely on evaluation and judgment of the magnitude and severity of the situation on a case by case basis. Factors to be considered may include:
- the safety of personnel within the area/building
- smoke/heat or other hazards
- actual or estimated levels of radiation and/or airborne radioactivity' involved, as well as the potential exposure to personnel that would result from both evacuating and not evacuating specific station areas/buildings.
The warning of personnel in the station can be accomplished in less than . 15 minutes. (This includes vi.sitars, contractor and construction personnel).
NM 4-12 EP-AA-1013 (Revision

Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear Notification is made by sounding the evacuation alarm, followed by an announcement over the plant PA system. (Refer to EP-CE-113, Personnel Protective Actions) b. Protected Area Evacuation
- c. June 2016 A Protected Area Evacuation is confined to areas within the protected area. This evacuation requires that ERO members assemble at their designated ERF, and non-essential personnel leave the protected area and assemble at designated locations outside of the protected area. (refer to EP-CE-113).
The decision to implement a protected area evacuation is the responsibility of the Emergency Director (as appropriate).
A protected area evacuation is automatically implemented at an Alert or Site Area Emergency provided it is safe to perform. The warning of personnel in the protected area can be accomplished in less than 15 minutes. (This includes visitors, contractor and construction personnel)
Notification of a protected area evacuation is made by sounding the evacuation alarm, followed by an announcement over the plant PA system. Owner Controlled Area (OCA) Evacuation EP-CE-113 describes the evacuation of non-essential personnel from the NMPNS protected area via the Security Buildings to the Offsite Assembly Area. It also includes, as appropriate, the evacuation of individuals from the NMPNS OCA, including the Nuclear Learning Center, Energy Center, Sewage Treatment
_Facility and all other NMPNS site locations to their homes or Offsite Assembly Area The Off-site Assembly Area is normally the Oswego County Airport, Hanger K, .in Volney (Fulton).
The Emergency Director may specify alternate routes or alternate locations, if appropriate.
Personnel will use privately owned vehicles to evacuate.
Security personnel help ensure that personnel proceed to the Offsite Assembly Area .. JAFNPP is advised of the NMPNS OCA evacuation and the projected dose rates which could affect their personnel.
The decision to implement an OCA evacuation is the responsibility of the Emergency Director.
The decision is based on the declaration of a Site Area Emergency in which a radioactive release is anticipated or in progress, the declaration of a General Emergency, or upon declaration of a site evacuation by JAFNPP. Notification of an OCA evacuation is made by sounding the evacuation alarm, followed by an announcement over the station PA system. Other persons who may be in public .access areas, passing through the site, or within a NMPNS controlled location, will be notified by methods outlined in EP-CE-113.
The warning of personnel in the OCA can be NM 4-13 EP-AA-1013 (Revision

Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear accomplished in less than 15 minutes. (This includes visitors, contractors and construction personnel)
- d. Personnel Accountability To ensure that station personnel present in affected areas have been accounted for and to determine the whereabouts of personnel who have not been accounted for within the protected area, measures have been established to provide for personnel accountability.
Accountability for personnel remaining within the protected area following an accountability order is performed in accordance with EP-CE-113.
Initial accountability results in the generation of a list of missing persons within 30 minutes of an announcement to evacuate non-essential personnel or an announcement to perform accountability and/or identifying any individuals not accounted for. NOTE: The personnel accountability process is considered initiated when the announcement has been completed.
The accountability system works as follows: Personnel enter
- the protected area through security access points. Upon entering the area position their security identification proximity card (Owner Controlled Area Card) near the entrance Proximity Card Readers .. Their access is tracked by the security department computer.
In the event of an emergency, personnel within the protected area report to onsite assembly areas, or exit the protected area activating a Proximity Card Reader at the accountability area or at the protected area exit. After a number of personner have* completed this process (about 20 minutes after the announcement), a report is produced.
The information on the report yields the names of individuals who are present in the protected area, but who have not activated a Proximity Card Reader (activations are subtracted from the overall database).
The personnel accountability continues throughout the event. Search and rescue efforts begin at the completion of the initial accountability process, and are performed in accordance with EP-AA-113, Personnel Protective Actions. e. Contamination Control June 2016 The NMPNS Radiation Protection Procedures contain prov1s1ons governing the control of contamination including access control, use of protective clothing, contamination monitoring, and the release of potentially contaminated items from Restricted Areas. The requirements and guidelines of these procedures apply to contamination control during emergency conditions.
Specific onsite contamination control measures for food supplies is not necessary since no agricultural products for consumption are grown within the NMPNS exclusion area. Also, no drinking water supplies NM 4-14 EP-AA-1013 (Revision
- 2)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear originate onsite. Drinking water is obtained from City of Oswego water supplies or bottled water suppliers.
- f. Exposure Control June 2016 The radiation exposure of station personnel during emergency operations is maintained As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA), and should be maintained less than the administrative guides established in the NMPNS Radiation Protection Procedures and/or less than the Federal radiation exposure standards established in 1 OCFR20. In order to accomplish this objective, administrative means used during normal operations to minimize personnel exposure, such as Radiation Work Permits, Authorization to Exceed Radiation Exposure Guides, and ALARA measures should remain in force to the extent consistent with timely implementation of emergency measures.
If necessary actions require personnel exposures to exceed normal limits, or if normal access control and radiological work practices results in unacceptable delays, the established exposure control criteria and methods may be waived or modified at the discretion of the Shift Emergency Director or Corporate Emergency Director (as appropriate).
In the event of a declared emergency, the emergency dose limits outlined in EPA-400 have been proceduralized in EP-CE-113, Personnel Protective Actions, and may be used. EP-CE-113 also provides procedures for expeditious decision making, a reasonable consideration of relative risks, and the capacity for just-in-time authorization or emergency exposures.
Emergency dose limits are as follows: TEDE Limit (rem) Activity 5 All activities during the emergency*
10 Protecting valuable property 25 Lifesaving or protection of large populations
>25 Lifesaving or protection of large populations, only if individuals receiving exposure is a volunteer, and fully aware of risks involved.
Dosimetry equipmen,t is provided at the station as part of the normal Radiation Protection Program, and such dosimetry continues to be used during emergency situations.
Dosimetry consists of OSLDs (or equivalent) and Self-Reading Dosimeters (SRO) (or equivalent, e.g. electronic dosimeters), also known as Pocket Direct-Reading Dosimeters.
A limited number of such dosimetry are also available in emergency NM 4-15 EP-AA-1013 (Revision

The NMPNS Radiation Protection Procedures contain provisions for administration of the Facility Bioassay Program. EP-CE-113 provides guidance for accelerated or additional bioassays in the event there are individuals who are suspected of being exposed to elevated levels of airborne activity as a result of the emergency.
Radiation Protection Procedures provide for issuing, using, and reading/processing dosimetry devices and provisions for exposure record keeping. During an emergency the processing frequency is based upon the exposure rates and/or the exposure received by emergency personnel.
- g. Respiratory Protection The NMPNS Radiation Protection Procedures contain prov1s1ons governing the use of respiratory protection equipment and administration of the NMPNS Respiratory Protection Program. Site specific ERO Respirator qualification requirements contained in the ERO Training and Qualification procedure take precedence over requirements contained in the Exelon Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan for Nine Mile Point Station. Exceptions to normal respiratory protection practices may be instituted by
- h. Potassium Iodide (Kl) Potassium iodide (Kl) is available for use by NMPNS employees in the event of an emergency.
Indications and when Kl should be used are contained with EP-CE-113.

( Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.8.1 Decontamination Personnel contamination in emergency situations is controlled to the extent feasible by the normal methods of using protective clothing and surveying for contamination following the removal of such clothing:
Designated personnel decontamination areas consisting
- of showers and sinks which drain to the radwaste system, are available for either routine or emergency use at the NMPNS. Similar facilities are available at the JAFNPP. Station radiation protection personnel are instructed in the proper methods of removing minor contamination from skin surfaces.
Efforts involving significant amounts of contamination, particularly in the vicinity of facial openings, will normally be performed under the direction of Radiation Protection personnel.
Detailed methods for personnel decontamination are des.cribed
'in Radiation Protection Procedures.
Decontamination limits are detailed in station Radiation Protection Procedures.
4.8.2 First
Aid Individuals are onsite who can administer first-aid.
First aid to injured personnel is normally performed in conjunction with any necessary decontamination methods. However, if immediate treatment of the injury is vital, that treatment shall take precedence over decontamination.
This philosophy also extends to offsite emergency assistance involving radioactive contamination.
For that purpose, measures are established to ensure timely offsite medical treatment and-limiting the spread of contamination, as described in Station Annex Sections 4.8.3 and 4.8.4. 4.8.3 Medical Transportation Arrangements have been made with the Oswego County 911 Center to transport from the NMPNS to a medical treatment facility any injured personnel, including radioactively contaminated personnel and those involved in radiation exposure incidents, or a Hostile Action Based event.

6.1.2 Exercises
and Drills Exercises are realistic, pre-planned simulations of accidents, designed and conducted so
- that the response of the emergency organization closely approximates their response to an actual incident.
Drills are pre-planned simulations in which the participants are "walked" or "talked" through one or more procedures, or aspects of the Station Annex. The primary purpose of drills is to provide individuals with hands-on training in a controlled situation.
During practical drills on-the-spot correction of erroneous performance may be made and a demonstration of the proper performance offered by the instructor/controller.
Drills are evaluated by drill controllers and observers.
The response of Division personnel to an actual emergency condition may be allowed to satisfy a particular drill requirement, provided that a critique is performed and . documented in the manner specified for a drill. In addition, selected training sessions can satisfy drill requirements as allowed by procedure.
Biennial exercises and annual drills are conducted in order to test the state of emergency preparedness of participating individuals, organizations, and agencies.
An exercise or drill may be conducted that simulates an emergency that results in offsite radiological releases requiring response by offsite authorities to: 1) ensure that the participants are familiar with their respective duties and responsibilities;
- 2) verify the adequacy of both the NMPNS Emergency Plan and the methods used in the appropriate Implementing Procedures;
- 3) test communications networks and systems; 4) check the availability of emergency supplies and equipment;
- 5) verify the operability of emergency equipment; and 6) verify adequate interrelationships with offsite agency plans. Exercise scenarios provide the ERO with the opportunity to
- demonstrate proficiency in the key skills necessary to implement the principal . functional areas of emergency response.
Principal functional areas include: Management and coordination of the emergency response, Accident assessment, Event Classification, Notification of Offsite authorities, Assessment of the Onsite/offsite impact of radiological releases, Protective Action Recommendation development, Protective Action decision making, Plant system repair and mitigative action implementation, Public Notification
/Information processes.
Biennial Exercise scenarios are submitted to the NRC for review and approval.
Biennial Exercises are evaluated and graded by the NRC and FEMA to determine that there is "reasonable assurance" that adequate protective measures will be taken in the event of an emergency.
The NRC may require a remedial exercise if they cannot find reasonable assurance or determine that the June 2016 NM6-4 EP-AA-1013 (Revision
- 2)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear ERO has maintained the key skills specific to emergency response.
All Drills and exercises that provide performance opportunities to develop, maintain or demonstrate key skills, provide for a formal critique with controllers and players following the completion of the drill. The critiques are to identify weak or deficient areas that need correction.
During the critique, comments are gathered which are used to improve the emergency preparedness program, and a final assessment of the.drill or exercise is made. Weaknesses or deficiencies identified in critiques are corrected and tracked through the Corrective Action Program. The Site Emergency Preparedness Manager is responsible for planning, scheduling, and coordinating emergency planning related exercises and drills. The Fire Marshal, in conjunction with the Manager Operations and the Manager Training, is responsible for planning, scheduling, and coordinating Fire Brigade related drills. Drill.s are subject to management review. The Site Emergency Preparedness Manager is responsible for reviewing pre-exercise information to ensure only appropriate information is provided to the participants.
In addition, participants are not permitted to review or otherwise view exercise scenarios.
Exercises and drills are conducted to simulate actual emergency conditions as closely as possible and may be scheduled such that more than one drill or exercise can be conducted simultaneously.
Scenarios are prepared that emphasize coordination among onsite and offsite organizations as appropriate and may involve participation by the Nine Mile Point Fire Brigade; monitoring teams; varying degrees of participation of county, state, and Federal agencies and organizations and local offsite support personnel and organizations.
Scenarios are varied and include a wide spectrum of radiological releases and events. These .events include hostile actions, no or minimal radiological release, initial or rapid Site Area or General Emergency declarations, Severe Accident Management and Large Area Loss (1 OCFR50.54(hh)(2)), integration of offsite resource and events that simultaneously involve both NMP and JAF.

Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear ** Section 7: Recovery Actions taken during an emergency situation fall into two general categories; response and recovery.
Response actions are those taken to manage the consequences of an emergency and to bring the emergency under control. Recovery actions are those longer term actions taken to restore the station, as nearly as possible, to its emergency condition.
This section describes recovery actions and establishes typical criteria for declaring that an emergency has entered the recovery phase. 7 .1 Progression From Emergency Response to Recovery The two general action categories, response and recovery, are directed by separate organizations:
the On-Site Emergency Organization is responsible for initial response while the Recovery Organization is responsible for long term response and recovery.
7 .1 .1 Re-entry Phase The Re-entry Phase is the period following evacuation during which access to the station is restricted.
This period can commence with the start of the emergency, or can develop as the emergency progresses, and may last into the recovery phase. Re-entry may be made to perform essential tasks such as saving human lite; controiling release of radioactive materials, and preventing additional damage to plant and equipment.
Additional actions to be taken during the Re-entry Phase are controlled by implementing procedures and will be directed by the Emergency Director or the Recovery Manager (RM). Planning for re-entry will include evaluation of available survey data, review of exposures incurred, projection of manpower and equipment needs, and re-entry survey team activation.
Upon re-entry a comprehensive survey of the plant will be made to define radiological problem areas. Data gathered during the re-entry operation and additional information developed by the various technical support groups will be assessed and used in developing subsequent recovery plans.
- The planned radiation exposure limits for re-entry should be consistent with 1 O CFR 20. If the need arises for exposures in excess of the limits of 1 O CFR 20, the ED may institute the higher limits identified in Section 4.0 of the NMPNS Station Annex.
- 7.1.2 Termination of Emergency Phase The Corporate Emergency Director will periodically evaluate and assess the status of the emergency, the effectiveness of emergency actions, and the need to update the emergency class. The Corporate Emergency Director, in consultation with the Station Emergency Director and. offsite authorities, will determine when the emergency phase has ended. Notification of the appropriate authorities (e.g., county, state, and federal agencies, etc.) and the Emergency Response Organization will then take place. Criteria for declaring an emergency situation resolved is dependent on the emergency classification declared but may June 2016 NM 7-1 EP-AA-1013 (Revision
- 2)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear include: Radiation levels in all in-plant areas are stable or are decreasing with time. *
- Reactor and associated systems are in a safe, stable condition, a reactor cool-down is in progress and it has been determined that the plant has the ability to achieve and maintain a cold shutdown condition.
- Releases of radioactive materials to the environment are under control or have ceased.
- Any fire, flooding or similar emergency conditions are under control or have ceased.
- Drywall pressure is at normal levels. Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure EP-CE-115, Termination and Recovery provides the specific guidance on termination of the emergency phase and commencement of the recovery phase. 7 .1 .3 Recovery Phase During the initial stage of the Recovery Phase, data gathered from re-entry operations and additional information developed by the various technical support groups will be assessed.
A plan of action for returning the plant to a: condition within Technical Specifications limits will be developed using the guidance provided in EP-CE-115.
7.2
- Recovery Operations Recovery operations necessary to restore the plant to an operational condition will be conducted within the framework of the Recovery Organization.
From the EOF, the CED or Recovery Manager (RM) and EOF staff will direct entry into recovery operations.
Specific recovery tasks and the sequence in which they are performed will be at the direction of the Recovery Manager. The Recovery Manager will be responsible for deactivating the Recovery Organization.
Activities for which the Recovery Organization is responsible during the recovery phase include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:
- a. Logistical
- b. Corrective Actions c. Engineering
- d. Radiological
- e. Administrative Procedures detailing performance of the above tasks will be developed if required, during the recovery phase. June 2016 NM 7-2 EP-AA-1013 (Revision
- 2)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear During recovery operations, the radiation exposure limits of 1 O CFR 20 apply. Compliance with those limits will be the responsibility of the Recovery Manager via the applicable Health Physics organization.
Recovery actions that plan for or may resul.t in radioactive releases will be evaluated by the Recovery Manager and EOF staff as far in advance of the action as possible.
These actions and data pertaining to the release will be reported to the appropriate off-site emergency response organizations and agencies.
7.3 Emergency
Organization Transformations The emergency response organization may go through a series of transformations depending upon the time of initiation, type, severity and duration of the emergency condition.
A long-term recovery organization that is general in-nature has been defined. The transition to the Recovery Organization will be communicated to concerned parties by the Recovery Manager, via the ERF managers/coordinators.
7.4 Recovery
Organization The Recovery Organization is comprised of two major groups: Functional and Support. (See Figure 7-1) The Functional Group is essentially comprised of the normal station organization and would be responsible for the development and implementation of plans and procedures necessary for the long-term emergency response and recovery operations.
