This revision also incorporates clarifying information from the latest Evacuation Time Estimate (ETE); clarification of offsite agency responsibilities for protective actions for impediments and special populations; revised EAL #2 for Enclosure 4.3, Unusual Event IC #2; clarification of ERO activation after normal working hours; and revisions to the site's SPCC Plan included in Appendix 8. In addition to these changes, applicable references have replaced generic references in Figure P-1. This revision also incorporates the 2005 Calendar distributed to the 10 mile EPZ population.
2005-01 02/01/05 Section D, Enclosure 4.7, Page 66 - Duke Power Hydro-Electric Group has revised the Lake Keowee water level from 807 to 815.5 feet for initiating a Condition B. This elevation is used in Enclosure 4.7 for classifying the event as an Unusual Event. The Hydro -Electric Group notifies the Control Room when Condition B has been declared. No protective actions by the plant are changed.
.2005-02 05/17/05 Section I & Letters of Agreement - Incorporates an editorial revision that describes the makeup of Field Monitoring Teams and updated Agreement Letters.
1.7&8 replaced "....personnel from Radiation Protection and Chemistry." with "..a RP Technician and a Driver." Editorial Change - Chemistry personnel no longer perform the function of FMT Driver. FMT Drivers are now provided by other groups.
2005-03 08/24/05 Revision 2005-03 incorporates an addendum for the Fire Department/Volunteer Fire Department Agreement Letters. This addendum was added as a result of NRC guidance provided to utilities. The addendum to these letters provides guidance on the use of the Incident Command System at ONS and identifies the ONS Fire Brigade Leader as the on-scene commander and site-interface for responding offsite fire departments.
2005-04 09/15/05 Revision 2005-04 is a change to Page 66, Enclosure 4.7, Emergency Action Levels #1 - Reservoir elevation greater than or equal to 807.0 feet with all spillway gates open and the lake elevation continues to rise. This change undoes Revision 2005-01 which changed Keowee Lake level from 807 feet elevation to 815.5 feet elevation. This revision was determined to be a non conservative change in that it delayed the Unusual Event emergency classification. Appendix 5, Agreement Letter #21 has been updated.
2005-05 01/09/06 Revision 2005-05 incorporates editorial changes that clarify organizational charts/responsibilities, revise procedure references, replaces public information calendar, and replaces obsolete survey instruments. Agreement Letters #16 and

5 Rev. 2015-004 May 2015
RECORD OF CHANGES (Continued)
REVISION EFFECTIVE NUMBER DATE REASON FOR REVISIONS 2006-03 06/8/06 Section D - Change #1 Revised initiating condition #2 for the Alert classification for Enclosure 4.6 (Fire/Explosions and Security Events). This change is based on a correction to the NEI White Paper, Enhancements to Emergency Preparedness Programs For Hostile Actions which was endorsed in a letter from the NRC on December 8, 2005. Change #2 - Renumbered Emergency Action Levels throughout Section D to match the numbering scheme found in RP/0/B/1000/001 (Emergency Classification) procedure - Renumbering makes it easier for procedure users to locate the correct emergency action level in the Basis Document. Appendix 5 - Agreement Letters #8, 14,15 & 23 were updated.
2006-04 11/06 Reference changes to the deletion of the Clemson EOF and incorporates reference to the Charlotte EOF. In addition, miscellaneous editorial changes are included in this revision.
2007-01 03/07 Appendix 5 Agreement Letters that have been updated/revised.
2007-02 12/07 Editorial changes including a revised 50 mile radius map (Figure B), a revision to the Emergency Classification Basis Section D , the 2008 Emergency Planning Calendar, a revised layout drawing for the JIC, a revised listing of portable survey instruments, the latest renewal of existing agreement letters and a revised Ground Water Monitoring Plan 2008-01 09/08 The original order of the EALs created a human performance trap. The first fission barrier column that the procedure user reviews is the RCS Barrier column which is on the left side of the page. The second fission barrier column that is reviewed is the Fuel Clad Barrier which is in the center of the page. This order gives the procedure user the mindset that the EALs are listed in the same order: RCS EAL followed by the Fuel Clad EAL. Changing the order of the EALs is not a deviation from the approved EAL scheme but is a difference. This change does not constitute a decrease in the effectiveness of the EPLAN since the EALs are exactly the same.
2008-02 10/08 As of this change 2008-02, the Emergency Plan is now available on NEDL/SCRIBE and has been completely re-issued. All changes in the future to the Emergency Plan will be completed thru NEDL/SCRIBE. The following Agreement Letters were also updated: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 19 and 21.
2009-01 02/09 Revised existing information relating to organization names that have changed, removed specific names and replaced with a title to mitigate the need for future revisions due to personnel changes, and changed staging location names based on changes made to area designation names; however staging will still occur in same area. Changes made only reflect actual organization names, functional position names, and current location names being used to make the E-Plan more accurately reflect current information. No changes are being made to the process or conduct of the how the E-Plan is to be implemented.

Rev. 2015-004 May 2015
D. EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM RegGuide 1.101, Rev. 3, August, 1992, approved the guidance provided by NUMARC/NESP-007, Revision 2, as an Alternative Methodology for the Development of Emergency Action Levels. Oconee Nuclear Site used the NUMARC guidance for the development of initiating conditions and emergency action levels. The emergency action levels provided in this section have been modified to implement the guidance provided in NRC Bulletin 2005-02, NEI guidance as endorsed in Regulatory Issue Summary 2006-12 and to support the implementation of NEI 03-12.
The emergency classification system utilizes four categories for classification of emergency events.
D.1.a. 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 has been initiated.

The RCS Barrier includes the RCS primary side and its connections up to and including the pressurizer safety and relief valves, and other connections up to and including the primary isolation valves.
- 1. RCS Leak Rate Small leaks may result in the inability to maintain normal liquid inventory within the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) by normal operation of the High Pressure Injection System.
The capacity of one HPI pump at normal system pressure is approximately 160 gpm.
Leakage in excess of this value would call for compensatory action to maintain normal liquid inventory. As such, this is an indication of a degraded RCS barrier and is considered to be a potential loss of the barrier.
The loss of subcooling is the fundamental indication that the inventory loss from the primary system exceeds the capacity of the inventory control systems. If the loss of subcooling is indicated, the RCS barrier is considered lost.
- 2. SG Tube Rupture Small Steam Generator tube leaks may result in the inability to maintain normal liquid inventory within the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) by normal operation of the High Pressure Injection System. The capacity of one HPI pump at normal system pressure is approximately 160 gpm. Leakage in excess of this value would call for compensatory action to maintain normal liquid inventory. As such, this is an indication of a degraded RCS barrier and is considered to be a potential loss of the barrier.
A tube rupture (> than 160 gpm) with an unisolable secondary line rupture is generally indicated by a reduction in primary coolant inventory, increased secondary radiation levels, and an uncontrolled or complete depressurization of the ruptured SG. This set of conditions represents a potential loss of the RCS and loss of containment fission product barrier and will result in the declaration of a Site Area Emergency. Escalation to a General Emergency would be indicated by at least a potential loss of the fuel clad barrier.
D-5 Rev. 2015-004 May 2015
ENCLOSURE 4.1 BASIS INFORMATION FOR FISSION PRODUCT BARRIER REFERENCE TABLE
- 2. SG Tube Rupture Secondary radiation increases should be observed via radiation monitoring of Condenser Air Ejector Discharge, Main Steam, and/or SG Sampling System. Determination of the "uncontrolled" depressurization of the ruptured SG should be based on indication that the pressure decrease in the ruptured steam generator is not a function of operator action. This should prevent declaration based on a depressurization that results from an EOP induced cooldown of the RCS that does not involve the prolonged release of contaminated secondary coolant from the affected SG to the environment. This EAL should encompass steam breaks, feed breaks, and stuck open safety or relief valves.
A steam generator tube leak less than 160 gpm would be classified under Enclosure 4.2, Systems Malfunctions, RCS leakage as an Unusual Event. If a release also occurs such as steam through a steam relief valve failed open, feedwater line break, steam line break on the affected steam generator then a loss of the Containment Barrier has also occurred.
Upgrade to a higher classification would be by Enclosure 4.3, Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluent or further degradation of RCS or Fuel Clad Barriers.
- 3. Entry Into PTS Entry into Pressurized Thermal Shock Operation could cause damage to the reactor vessel severe enough to cause a loss of coolant accident. Therefore, this situation represents a potential loss of the RCS. This EAL is satisfied if Rule 8 (Pressurized Thermal Shock) is implemented.
- 4. Reactor Coolant System Integrity HPI Forced cooling represents the failure of the steam generators to remove heat from the core. To use this mode of cooling indicates that all feedwater (both main and emergency) are not available for use and the pressure in the reactor coolant system is greater than or equal to 2300 psig. The power-operated relief valve must be opened to initiate the cooling through the high pressure injection system. In effect, a self-imposed loss of coolant is established. The condition is classified as a potential loss of the reactor coolant system.
A reactor coolant system pressure spike of greater than or equal to design pressure of 2750 psig represents a loss of the RCS barrier.

- 5. Containment Radiation Monitoring A containment radiation monitor reading of> 1 R/hr on radiation monitors 1RIA-57 or 58 (Unit 1), 2RIA-58 (Unit 2), and 3RIA-57 or 58 (Unit 3) indicates the release of reactor coolant to the containment. A containment radiation monitor reading of >1.6 R/hr on radiation monitor 2RIA-57 (Unit 2) also indicates the release of reactor coolant to the containment. The difference in these values is due to the relative strength of the detector check source which affects the background readings for the detector (the source for 2RIA-57 is stronger than that for the remaining detectors). This reading is less than that specified for Fuel Clad Barrier EAL#3. Thus, this EAL would be indicative of a RCS leak only. If the radiation monitor reading increased to that specified by Fuel Clad Barrier EAL
- 3, fuel damage would also be indicated.

ENCLOSURE 4.1 BASIS INFORMATION FOR FISSION PRODUCT BARRIER REFERENCE TABLE FUEL CLAD BARRIER EALs: (1 or 2 or 3 or 4)
The Fuel Clad Barrier is the zircalloy tubes that contain the fuel pellets.
- 1. Core Exit Thermocouple Readings The "Potential Loss" EAL reading corresponds to loss of subcooling. The value of 700 °F is indicative of superheated steam and is a value referenced in the Emergency Operating procedure. The loss of subcooling may lead to clad damage and, therefore, this is a potential loss of the fuel clad barrier.
The "Loss" EAL reading (1200 °F) indicates significant superheating of the coolant and core uncovery. Clad damage under these conditions is likely; therefore, this is indication of loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier.
- 2. Primary Coolant Activity Level The value of 300 jiCi/ml DEI coolant activity is well above that expected for iodine spikes and corresponds to about 4% fuel clad damage. This amount of clad damage indicates significant clad damage and thus the Fuel Clad Barrier is considered lost. Basis for determination is Engineering Calculation OSC-5283.
There is no equivalent "Potential Loss" EAL for this item.
- 3. Reactor Vessel Water Level A valid reading of 0" on the RVLS (Reactor Vessel Level System) is an indicator that the fuel could be uncovered and would signify a potential loss of the fuel clad barrier. RVLS is invalid if LPI pumps are running and taking suction from the LPI drop line.
- 4. Containment Radiation Monitoring Containment monitor readings on RIA 57/58 in the below listed table is higher than can be attributed to normal reactor coolant activity alone. These levels indicate that approximately 4% of the fuel cladding has failed which is consistent with the release of 300 uC/ml DEI to the containment atmosphere. Release of this amount of activity into containment corresponds to a loss of both the fuel clad and RCS barriers. Basis for the calculation which determined the activity levels can be found in engineering calculation OSC-5283.

The Containment Barrier includes the containment building, its connections up to and including the outermost containment isolation valves. This barrier also includes the main steam, feedwater, and blowdown line extensions outside the containment building up to and including the outermost secondary side isolation valve.
- 1. Containment Pressure
- Containment pressure above 59 psig (the design pressure) indicates that the containment or its heat removal systems are not functioning as intended. This degradation of containment pressure control represents a potential loss of containment integrity.
- Containment pressure of 10 psig with no reactor building cooling units or reactor building spray available represents degradation in the control of the containment conditions. Therefore, this situation represents a potential loss of containment integrity.
- A containment hydrogen concentration greater than 9 percent volume is sufficient to expect that any ignition would result in complete combustion of the hydrogen in containment and a significant pressure rise. At hydrogen concentrations near 9 percent volume no challenge to containment integrity would be expected. At levels somewhat higher the possibility of a deflagration to detonation transition raises the uncertainty as to the actual response of the containment. Therefore, it is prudent that this level of hydrogen in the containment be considered a potential loss of containment integrity.
- Rapid unexplained loss of pressure (i.e., not attributable to containment spray or condensation effects) following an initial pressure increase indicates a loss of containment integrity.
Containment pressure and sump levels should increase as a result of the mass and energy release into containment from a LOCA. Thus, sump level or pressure not increasing indicates an interfacing systems LOCA which is a containment bypass and a loss of containment integrity.

ENCLOSURE 4.1 BASIS INFORMATION FOR FISSION PRODUCT BARRIER REFERENCE TABLE
- 2. Containment Isolation Valve Status After Containment Isolation Failure to isolate those containment pathways which would allow containment atmosphere to be released to the environment is a loss of the containment barrier.
The use of the modifier "direct" in defining the release path discriminates against release paths through interfacing liquid systems. The existence of an in-line charcoal filter does not make a release path indirect since the filter is not effective at removing fission product noble gases. Typical filters have an efficiency of 95-99% removal of iodine. Given the magnitude of the core inventory of iodine, significant releases could still occur. In addition, since the fission product release would be driven by boiling in the reactor vessel, the high humidity in the release stream can be expected to render the filters ineffective in a short period.
There is no Potential Loss threshold associated with this item.
The decision of whether this EAL is satisfied should be based on present and readily available information. This includes physical data seen and heard. It is not the intent of this EAL to use relatively long term calculations to make the determination. If there is a pathway which would allow containment atmosphere to be released to the environment, this EAL is satisfied.
There is no "Potential Loss" EAL associated with this item.
- 3. SG Secondary Side Release With Primary To Secondary Leakage Secondary side releases directly to the atmosphere include atmospheric dump valves and stuck open main steam safety valves. If the main condenser is available, there may be releases via air ejector, gland seal exhauster, and other similar controlled, and often monitored, pathways. These pathways do not meet the intent of a direct opening to the environment. These minor releases are assessed using Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluent Initiating Conditions. A failure of the secondary side which results in a direct opening to the environment, in combination with Primary to Secondary leakage > 10 gpm in the same steam generator, constitutes a bypass of the containment, and therefore, a loss of the containment barrier.
D-11 Rev. 2015-004 May 2015
ENCLOSURE 4.1 BASIS INFORMATION FOR FISSION PRODUCT BARRIER REFERENCE TABLE Likewise, a failure of the secondary side which results in a direct opening to the environment, in combination with Primary to Secondary leakage > 10 gpm in the other steam generator, constitutes a bypass of the containment, IF the SG with the secondary side failure is being fed feedwater from the affected unit. Therefore, this condition also constitutes a loss of the containment barrier.
In combination with the SG Tube Rupture EAL under the RCS barrier section, the appropriate classification can be determined.
There is no "Potential Loss" EAL associated with this item.
- 4. Significant Radioactive Inventory in Containment Containment radiation readings shown in the table below are values which indicate significant fuel damage well in excess of the EALs associated with both loss of Fuel Clad and loss of RCS Barriers. NUREG-1228, "Source Estimations During Incident Response to Severe Nuclear Power Plant Accidents," indicates that such conditions do not exist when the amount of clad damage is less than 20%. This amount of activity in containment, if released, could have such severe consequences that it is prudent to treat this as a potential loss of containment.
By treating the radioactive inventory in containment as a potential loss, a General Emergency will be declared when the conditions of the fuel clad and RCS barriers are included in the evaluation. This will allow the appropriate protective actions to be recommended.

- 5. Core Exit Thermocouple Core Exit Thermocouple temperatures > 1200 °F or > 700 °F with a valid RVLS reading for greater than 15 minutes, in this potential loss EAL represent imminent core damage that, if not terminated, could lead to vessel failure and an increased potential for containment failure. The potential for containment challenge as a result of events at reactor vessel failure makes it prudent to consider an unmitigated core damage condition as a potential loss of the containment barrier.
Severe accident analyses (e.g., NUREG-1 150) have concluded that function restoration procedures can arrest core degradation within the reactor vessel in a significant fraction of the core damage scenarios, and that the likelihood of containment failure is very small in these events. Given this, it is appropriate to provide a reasonable period to allow function restoration procedures to arrest the core melt sequence. Whether or not the procedures will be effective should be apparent within 15 minutes. The Emergency Coordinator should make the declaration as soon as it is determined that the procedures have been, or will be ineffective.

Note: If monitor reading is sustained for the time period indicated in the EAL AND the required assessments (procedure calculations) cannot be completed within this period, declaration must be made on the valid Radiation monitor reading.
BASIS:
The term "Unplanned", as used in this context, includes any release for which a liquid waste release (LWR) or gaseous waste release (GWR) package was not prepared, or a release that exceeds the conditions (e.g., minimum dilution flow, maximum discharge flow, alarm setpoints, etc.) on the applicable package.
Valid means that a radiation monitor reading has been confirmed to be correct.

ENCLOSURE 4.3 ABNORMAL RAD LEVELS/RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT UNUSUAL EVENT Chapter 16, Selected Licensee Commitments, of the Oconee Nuclear Station FSAR provides guidance to ensure that the release of liquid or gaseous effluent does not exceed the limits established in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table II and Appendix I, 10 CFR 50.
Unplanned releases in excess of two times the selected licensee commitments that continue for 60 minutes or longer represent an uncontrolled situation and hence, a potential degradation in the level of safety. It is not intended that the release be averaged over 60 minutes. The event should be declared as soon as it is determined that the release duration has or will likely exceed 60 minutes.
- 1. Any Unplanned Release of Gaseous or Liquid Radioactivity to the Environment that Exceeds Two Times the SLC Limits for 60 Minutes or Longer Monitor indications are based on the methodology of the site Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). Annual average meteorology (semi-elevated 1.672E-06 sec/m3) has been used. Radiation Protection will use HP/0/B/1 009/015 to quantify a gaseous release.
Operations will use OP/0/A/1 104/068 and/or OP/0/A/1 104/072 to quantify a liquid release.
BASIS:
References to RIA-45 are intended to be related to unit specific RIA-45 only. 4RIA-45 provides a concentration value, not in cpm, that is used by unit 1, 2, 3 RIA-45.
Additionally, a radionuclide concentration value of 6.62E-2 uCi/ml cannot be obtained in the Radwaste Facility (RWF) ventilation system discharge without the input of post-accident concentrations of gaseous radionuclides. There are no post-accident inputs to the RWF other than planned batch transfers of liquids and resins that would be transferred in a controlled manner. All gaseous radionuclides would be entrained in the liquids and resins since there are no gas storage tanks in the RWF to accept a transfer of gaseous waste.
Unit 1,2,3 RIA-45 could detect a concentration of 6.62E-2 uCi/ml post-accident since a LOCA in the Auxiliary Building could provide the source activity.
D-26 Rev. 2015-004 May 2015
ENCLOSURE 4.3 ABNORMAL RAD LEVELS/RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT UNUSUAL EVENT The Radwaste Facility is only used for waste water and resin processing. The type of waste processed, even if it contained entrained gasses from the reactor coolant system, cannot contain sufficient activity during normal operation to result in SLC limits being exceeded.
Liquid waste is not transferred to the Radwaste Facility during an event. The Radwaste Facility 4RIA-45 alarm set point is set at 5% of the station release limit. This set point is based on providing a set point that will not cause spurious alarms and will maintain total effluent releases below 100% of the station release limit. It is recognized that the Radwaste Facility is a less significant gaseous release pathway since the 4RIA-45 set point is set at one sixth of the 1, 2, or 3 RIA-45 set points. This EAL is only applicable to 1, 2, or 3 RIA-45 since the accident related source term that enters an intact Auxiliary Building will be released out of the unit vents.

B. Unplanned/unexpected valid area radiation monitor readings exceed limits stated in Enclosure 4.9 ofRP/O/A/1000/001.
BASIS:
Valid means that a radiation reading has been confirmed by the operators to be correct.
This IC addresses unplanned/unexpected increased radiation levels that impede necessary access to operating stations, or other areas containing equipment that must be operated manually, in order to maintain safe operation or perform a safe shutdown. It is this impaired ability to operate the plant that results in the actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.
The Control Room, Central Alarm Station (CAS) and the Radwaste Control Room are areas that will need to be continuously occupied. No radiation monitors are in the CAS or the Radwaste Control Room.
Oconee has chosen to use a generic emergency action level of greater than or equal to 5000 mRad/hr for the Alert classification for areas in the plant that would need to be utilized for safe operation or safe shutdown of the unit. Enclosure 4.9 of RP/O/A/1000/001 provides the monitor number and the location of the area monitor.

Note: If actual Dose Assessment cannot be completed within 15 minutes, then the valid monitor reading should be used for emergency classification.
BASIS:
Valid means that a radiation monitor reading has been confirmed to be correct.
The calculation for RIA 46 (vent monitor) setpoint is based on whole body dose (100 mRem) using ODCM guidance: average annual meteorology (semi-elevated release 1.672E-6 sec/m3), vent flow rate of 65,000 cfm, and release duration of 15 minutes. No credit is taken for vent filtration.
The calculation for RIA 57/58 (in containment monitors) setpoints are based on the following: LOCA conditions which provide the more conservative reading, Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) thyroid (500 mRem), average annual meteorology (7.308 E-6 sec/m3), design basis leakage of 5.6E6 ml/hr, release duration of one hour, and time since unit trip.

D-36 Rev. 2015-004 May 2015
ENCLOSURE 4.3 ABNORMAL RAD LEVELS/RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT SITE AREA EMERGENCY Dose assessment team members use actual meteorology, release duration, and unit vent flow rate or actual leakage rate from containment. Therefore, the predetermined monitor readings would not be used if dose assessment team calculations are available from the TSC or EOF in a timely manner (within approximately 15 minutes).
The 100 mRem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) and the 500 mRem Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) thyroid in this initiating condition is based on 10 CFR 20 annual average population exposure. The dose projection typically uses a 4-hour default for time of release. The Dose Assessment program will provide dose projection default times for specific release pathways. If the real time release time is known it will be used in the calculation. One order of magnitude is the gradient factor between the Site Area Emergency and General Emergency classes. These values are 10% of the EPA PAG values given in EPA-400-R-92-001.
The field monitoring survey results are based on actual hand-held instrument readings at the site boundary. It is assumed that the release will continue for more than one hour.
Adult thyroid is considered to be the limiting factor.

- 1. Failure of Reactor Protection System Instrumentation to Complete or Initiate an Automatic Reactor Scram Once a Reactor Protection System Setpoint Has Been Exceeded and Manual Scram Was Successful.
OPERATING MODE APPLICABILITY: 1, 2,3 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL:
The following conditions exist:
A. VALID reactor trip signal received or required without automatic scram AND ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
DSS has inserted Control Rods OR Manual reactor trip from the control room is successful and reactor power is less than 5% and decreasing.
BASIS:
This condition indicates failure of the automatic protection system to scram the reactor.
This condition is more than a potential degradation of a safety system in that a front line automatic protection system did not function in response to a plant transient and thus the plant safety has been compromised, and design limits of the fuel may have been exceeded.
An Alert is indicated because conditions exist that lead to potential loss of fuel clad or RCS. Reactor protection system setpoint being exceeded (rather than limiting safety system setpoint being exceeded) is specified here because failure of the automatic protection system is the issue. If the reactor protective system fails, the Diverse Scram Signal system (which was installed at Oconee since 10/7/91 as a result of Generic Letter 83-28) will drop control rod groups 5,6,7 into the core.
A manual scram is any set of actions by the reactor operator(s) at the reactor control console which causes control rods to be RAPIDLY inserted into the core and brings the reactor subcritical.

A. Loss of LPI and/or LPSW AND Inability to maintain RCS temperature below 200 °F as indicated by either of the following:
RCS temperature at the LPI pump suction OR Average of the 5 highest CETCs as indicated by ICCM display.
OR Visual observation BASIS:
LPI is the low pressure injection system LPSW is low pressure service water.
This IC is based on concerns raised by Generic Letter 88-17, "Loss of Decay Heat Removal."
number of phenomena such as pressurization, vortexing, RCS level differences when operating at a mid-loop condition, decay heat removal system design, and level instrumentation problems can lead to conditions where decay heat removal is lost and core uncovery can occur. NRC analyses show sequences that can cause core uncovery in 15 to 20 minutes and severe core damage within an hour after decay heat removal is lost.
Loss of the LPI system and/or the LPSW system causes an uncontrolled temperature rise in the reactor coolant system. Uncontrolled is understood to be "not as the result of operator action." Rising temperature of the reactor coolant system can be determined at the LPI pump suction, average of the 5 highest CETCs as indicated by ICCM display or through operator visual observation (steam or boiling) in the reactor building.
D-47 Rev. 2015-004 May 2015
ENCLOSURE 4.4 LOSS OF SHUTDOWN FUNCTIONS ALERT With a loss of LPI pumps there will be no RCS flow at the LPI pump suction and RCS temperature at that point will not represent RCS temperature in the reactor vessel. Also, with the reactor head in place, visual observation may not be possible.

B. Valid HIGH alarm reading on portable area monitors on the main bridge or spent fuel pool bridge.
C. Report of visual observation of irradiated fuel uncovered.
D. Operators determine water level drop in either the SFP or fuel transfer canal will exceed makeup capacity such that irradiated fuel will be uncovered.
BASIS:
This IC applies to spent fuel requiring water coverage and is not intended to address spent fuel which is licensed for dry storage.
The HIGH alarm for RIA 3 (containment area monitor) and RIA 49 (RB gaseous process monitor) corresponds to the setpoints established to assure that 10 CFR 20 limits are not exceeded.
The HIGH alarm setpoint for RIA 6 (SFP bridge area monitor) is designed to make operators aware of increased readings above 10 CFR 20 limits. The HIGH alarm setpoint for RIA 41 (Spent Fuel Pool gaseous atmosphere) is set to alarm if 4 times the limits of 10 CFR 20 are exceeded based upon Xe-133. RIA 49 monitors the reactor building gas. Portable monitors are established during refueling outages and are located on the main bridge, and the spent fuel pool bridge.

- 1. Failure of Reactor Protection System Instrumentation to Complete or Initiate an Automatic Reactor Scram Once a Reactor Protection System Setpoint Has Been Exceeded and Manual Scram Was NOT Successful.
OPERATING MODE APPLICABILITY: 1, 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL:
The following conditions exist:
A. VALID reactor trip signal received or required without automatic scram AND DSS has NOT inserted Control Rods AND Manual reactor trip from the control room was not successful in reducing reactor power to less than 5% and decreasing.
BASIS:
Automatic and manual scram are not considered successful if action away from the reactor control console is required to scram the reactor.
This EAL is met if a reactor trip is required and the manual reactor trip function fails.
A failure of the manual reactor trip pushbutton to initiate a reactor trip is indication of a failure of the Reactor Protection System.
Under these conditions, the reactor is producing more heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the safety systems are designed. A Site Area Emergency is indicated because conditions exist that lead to imminent loss or potential loss of both fuel clad and RCS.
Although this IC may be viewed as redundant to the Fission Product Barrier Degradation IC, its inclusion is necessary to better assure timely recognition and emergency response.
Escalation of this event to a General Emergency would be via Fission Product Barrier Degradation or Emergency Coordinator Judgment ICs.

Any of the following conditions exist:
A. Average of the 5 highest CETCs > 1200 OF on ICCM.
B. Unable to maintain reactor subcritical C. Inability to feed SGs prior to RCS pressure reaching 2300 psig and HPI Forced Cooling degraded by any of the following:
- Only 1 HPI Pump available
This EAL addresses complete loss of functions, core cooling and heat sink, required for hot shutdown with the reactor at pressure and temperature. Under these conditions, there is an actual major failure of a system intended for protection of the public. Thus, declaration of a Site Area Emergency is warranted.
Core exit thermocouple readings are considered to be the average of the five (5) highest thermocouple readings shown on the Inadequate Core Cooling Monitor.
HPI Forced cooling represents the failure of the steam generators to remove heat from the core. To use this mode of cooling indicates that all feedwater (both main and emergency) are not available for use and the pressure of the reactor coolant system is greater than or equal to 2300 psig. The power-operated relieve valve must be opened to initiate the cooling through the high pressure injection system. In effect, a self-imposed loss of coolant is established.
Declaration of a Site Are Emergency is warranted with the total loss of main and emergency feedwater with SSF and PSW unavailable coincident with degraded High Pressure Injection.
D-52 Rev. 2015-003 April 2015
Escalation to General Emergency would be via Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluent, Emergency Coordinator Judgment, or Fission Product Barrier Degradation ICs.
The installation of the PSW Pump enables the Station to NOT require a blow-down of the SG's in order to commence feeding to achieve shutdown cooling, as the PSW pump is a high discharge head pump. The installation and the use of the PSW pump provides a better margin of safety for the plant.
The SSF can provide the following: (1) makeup to the Reactor Coolant pump seals, (2) low pressure service water to the steam generators (additional method for heat sink), (3) capability to keep the unit in hot shutdown for 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> following an Appendix R fire.

- 1. Failure of the Reactor Protection System to Complete an Automatic Scram and Manual Scram was NOT Successful and There is Indication of an Extreme Challenge to the Ability to Cool the Core.
OPERATING MODE APPLICABILITY: 1,2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL:
The following conditions exist:
A. VALID reactor trip signal received or required WITHOUT automatic scram AND Manual reactor trip from the control room was not successful in reducing reactor power to less than 5% and decreasing.
AND Average of five highest CETCs> '1200 °F on the ICCM.
BASIS:
Automatic and manual scram are not considered successful if action away from the reactor control console is required to scram the reactor. Under the conditions of the IC and its associated EALs, the efforts to bring the reactor subcritical have been unsuccessful and, as a result, the reactor is producing more heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the safety systems were designed. The extreme challenge to the ability to cool the core is intended to mean that the core exit temperatures are at or approaching 1200 OF. (Note:
CETCs reading > 1200 OF is also a good indicator that the reactor vessel water level is below the top of the active fuel. Oconee does not have an indication for the reactor vessel water level below the top of the active fuel.)
The General Emergency declaration is intended to be anticipatory of the fission product barrier matrix declaration to permit maximum offsite intervention time.

A. MFB 1 and 2 de-energized AND Failure to restore power to at least one main feeder bus within 15 minutes from the time of loss of both offsite and onsite AC power.
BASIS:
Loss of all-AC power compromises all plant safety systems requiring electric power including RHR, ECCS, Containment Heat Removal and the Ultimate Heat Sink.
Prolonged loss of all AC power will cause core uncovering and loss of containment integrity, thus this event can escalate to a General Emergency.
Escalation to General Emergency is via Enclosure 4.1 Fission Product Barrier Degradation or IC, "Prolonged Loss of All 'Offsite Power and Prolonged Loss of All Onsite AC Power."
Loss of offsite power (6900V) eliminates the use of power from Duke Power grid and also eliminates distribution of power from the unit generator. Loss of onsite AC (4160V) which includes both Keowee Hydro units, eliminates the use of HPI pumps, LPI pumps, reactor building spray pumps, low pressure service water pumps, CCW pumps, condensate booster pumps, hotwell pumps, heater drain pumps and motor driven emergency feedwater pumps.
Turbine driven emergency feedwater pumps are assumed to be available. It is assumed for this scenario that the Standby Shutdown Facility would be available for RCS and secondary inventory control utilizing the RC makeup pump and the auxiliary service water pump.

The likelihood of restoring at least one emergency bus should be based on a realistic appraisal of the situation since a delay in an upgrade decision based on only a chance of mitigating the event could result in a loss of valuable time in preparing and implementing public protective actions.
In addition, under these conditions, fission product barrier monitoring capability may be degraded. Although it may be difficult to predict when power can be restored, it is necessary to give the Emergency Coordinator a reasonable idea of how quickly (s)he may need to declare a General Emergency based on two major considerations:
- 1. Are there any present indications that core cooling is already degraded to the point that Loss or Potential Loss of Fission Product Barriers is IMMINENT?
- 2. If there are no present indications of such core cooling degradation, how likely is it that power can be restored in time to assure that a loss of two barriers with a potential loss of the third barrier can be prevented?
Thus, indication of continuing core cooling degradation must be based on Fission Product Barrier monitoring with particular emphasis on Emergency Coordinator judgment as it relates to IMMINENT Loss or Potential Loss of fission product barriers and degraded ability to monitor fission product barriers.

A. Fire within the plant not extinguished within 15 minutes of control room notification or verification of a control room alarm.
B. Unanticipated explosion within the plant resulting in visible damage to permanent structures/equipment.
- Includes steam line break and FDW line break BASIS:
The purpose of this IC is to address the magnitude and extent of fires/explosions that may be potentially significant precursors to damage to safety systems. This excludes such items as fires within administration buildings, waste-basket fires, and other small fires of no safety consequence. This IC applies to buildings and areas contiguous to plant vital areas containing safety equipment or other significant buildings or areas. Verification of the alarm in this context means those actions taken in the control room to determine that the control room alarm is not spurious. The intent of the 15-minute duration of extinguishing efforts is to size the fire and to discriminate against small fires that are readily extinguished.
Only those explosions of sufficient force to damage permanent structures or equipment within the plant and Keowee Hydro should be considered. As used here, an explosion is a rapid, violent, unconfined combustion, or a catastrophic failure of pressurized equipment, that potentially imparts significant energy to near-by structures and materials. A high energy line break (e.g., Main Steam Line or Main Feedwater Line, Heater Drain Line, etc.) would satisfy this EAL IF no additional damage is done to ECCS (safety related systems) equipment/components. No attempt is made in this EAL to assess the actual magnitude of the damage. The occurrence of the explosion with reports of evidence of damage (e.g.,
deformation, scorching) is sufficient for declaration. The Emergency Coordinator also needs to consider any security aspects of the explosion, if applicable.

ENCLOSURE 4.6 FIRE/EXPLOSIONS AND SECURITY EVENTS ALERT
- 1. Fire or Explosion Affecting the Operability of Plant Safety Systems Required to Establish or Maintain Safe Shutdown.
OPERATING MODE APPLICABILITY: ALL EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL: Note: Only one train of a system needs to be affected or damaged in order to satisfy this condition.
The following conditions exist:
A. Fire or explosion AND ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
Affected safety-related system parameter indications show degraded performance OR Plant personnel report visible damage to permanent structures or equipment required for safe shutdown of the unit.
BASIS:
With regard to explosions, only those explosions of sufficient force to damage permanent structures or equipment required for safe operation of the plant should be considered. As used here, an explosion is a rapid, violent, unconfined combustion, or a catastrophic failure of pressurized equipment, that potentially imparts significant energy to near-by structures and materials. A fire is combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute fires. Observation of flames is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed.
The key to classifying fires/explosions as an Alert is the damage as a result of the incident.
The fact that safety-related equipment required for safe shutdown of the unit has been affected or damaged as a result of the fire/explosion is the driving force for declaring the Alert. It is important to note that this EAL addresses a fire/explosion and not just the degradation of a safety system. The reference to damage of the systems is used to identify the magnitude of the fire/explosion and to discriminate against minor fires/explosions.

A. A HOSTILE ACTION is occurring or has occurred within the OWNER CONTROLED AREA as reported by the Security Shift Supervisor.
B. A validated notification from NRC of an airliner attack threat within 30 minutes of the site.
BASIS:
Note: Timely and accurate communication between Security Shift Supervision and the Control Room is crucial for the implementation of effective Security EALs.
These EALs address the contingency for a very rapid progression of events, such as that experienced on September 11, 2001. They are not premised solely on the potential for a radiological release. Rather the issue includes the need for rapid assistance due to the possibility for significant and indeterminate damage from additional air, land or water attack elements.
The fact that the site is under serious attack or is an identified attack target with minimal time available for further preparation or additional assistance to arrive requires a heightened state of readiness and implementation of protective measures that can be effective (such as on-site evacuation, dispersal or sheltering).
EAL A This EAL addresses the potential for a very rapid progression of events due to a HOSTILE ACTION. It is not intended to address incidents that are accidental events or acts of civil disobedience, such as small aircraft impact, hunters, or physical disputes between employees within the OCA.

ENCLOSURE 4.6 FIRE/EXPLOSIONS AND SECURITY EVENTS ALERT Note that this EAL is applicable for any HOSTILE ACTION occurring, or that has occurred, in the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA. This includes ISFSI's that may be outside the PROTECTED AREA but still within the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA.
EAL B This EAL addresses the immediacy of an expected threat arrival or impact on the site within a relatively short time.
The intent of this EAL is to ensure that notifications for the airliner attack threat are made in a timely manner and that OROs and plant personnel are at a state of heightened awareness regarding the credible threat. Airliner is meant to be a large aircraft with the potential for causing significant damage to the plant.
This EAL is met when a plant receives information regarding an airliner attack threat from NRC and the airliner is within 30 minutes of the plant. Only the plant to which the specific threat is made need declare the Alert.
The NRC Headquarters Operations Officer (HOO) will communicate to the licensee if the threat involves an airliner (airliner is meant to be a large aircraft with the potential for causing significant damage to the plant). The status and size of the plane may be provided by NORAD through the NRC.

- 1. HOSTILE ACTION resulting in loss of physical control of the facility.
OPERATING MODE APPLICABILITY: ALL EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS: (A or B)
A A HOSTILE ACTION has occurred such that plant personnel are unable to operate equipment required to maintain safety functions.
B. A HOSTILE ACTION has caused failure of Spent Fuel Cooling Systems and IMMINENT fuel damage is likely for a freshly off-loaded reactor core in pool.
BASIS:
EAL A This EAL encompasses conditions under which a HOSTILE ACTION has resulted in a loss of physical control of VITAL AREAS (containing vital equipment or controls of vital equipment) required to maintain safety functions and control of that equipment cannot be transferred to and operated from another location.
Typically, these safety functions are reactivity control (ability to shut down the reactor and keep it shutdown) RCS inventory (ability to cool the core), and secondary heat removal (ability to maintain a heat sink).
Loss of physical control of the control room or remote shutdown capability alone may not prevent the ability to maintain safety functions per se. Design of the remote shutdown capability and the location of the transfer switches should be taken into account. Primary emphasis should be placed on those components and instruments that supply protection for and information about safety functions.
If control of the plant equipment necessary to maintain safety functions can be transferred to another location, then the threshold is not met.

A. Tremor felt and valid alarm on the "strong motion accelerograph".
B. Tornado striking within protected area boundary.
C. Vehicle crash into plant structures or systems within protected area boundary.
D. Turbine failure resulting in casing penetration or damage to turbine or generator seals.
BASIS:
The protected area boundary is typically that part within the security isolation zone and is defined in the site security plan.
EAL 1. Damage may be caused to some portions of the site, but should not affect ability of safety functions to operate. Strong motion accelerograph will begin to record at .01g. As defined in the EPRI-sponsored "Guidelines for Nuclear Plant Response to an Earthquake",
dated October 1989, a "felt earthquake" is:

EAL 4 Addresses main turbine rotating component failures of sufficient magnitude to cause observable damage to the turbine casing or to the seals of the turbine generator. Of major concern is the potential for leakage of combustible fluids (lubricating oils) and gases (hydrogen cooling) to the plant environs. Actual fires and flammable gas build up are appropriately classified via other EALs. This EAL is consistent with the definition of an Unusual Event while maintaining the anticipatory nature desired and recognizing the risk to non-safety related equipment.

BASIS:
This initiating condition is discussed in the Oconee Probabilistic Risk Assessment report.
A flood caused by the rupture of the Jocassee Dam could flood the turbine building basement which could disable the main feedwater pumps and the turbine and motor driven emergency feedwater pumps. Also, rupture of some portions of the condenser intake piping could result in a flood in the turbine building basement. Water tight doors have been provided to prevent the water from seeping into the auxiliary building. This scenario assumes that the Standby Shutdown Facility (SSF) would be available to provide water to the steam generators.

The auxiliary shutdown panel will allow operators to use turbine bypass valves to maintain RCS temperature, one HPI pump for RCS inventory control, pressurizer heaters to maintain RCS pressure and control of the feedwater startup valves but not control over the feedwater pumps.
The standby shutdown facility can maintain hot shutdown by using auxiliary service water to the steam generators for primary heat removal and also to provide makeup to the reactor coolant system. The SSF is only used under extreme conditions since it may involve pumping lake water into the steam generators for heat removed purposes.
With the control room evacuated, additional support, monitoring and direction through the Technical Support Center and/or other Emergency Operations Facility is necessary.
Inability to establish plant control from outside the control room, as evidenced by the inability to maintain RCS or SG inventories, will escalate this event to a Site Area Emergency.

F. EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS Provisions exist for prompt communications among principal response organizations, emergency personnel, and to the public.
F.1 Emergency Response Organization The Emergency Response Organization has been developed in such a manner to list primary and alternate personnel. Primary and backup means of communication have been established between the Site, local government agencies, and State response organizations (Figure F-i).
F. L.a Calls to activate State/County agency's emergency function are the responsibility of the Shift Manager/Emergency Coordinator. These calls are made by:
- 1. Duke Emergency Management Network (DEMNET).
- 2. The site telephone system to a 24-hour emergency number.
Some agencies have numbers for designated work schedules. Numbers can be found in the Emergency Telephone Directory.
A back-up radio system provides alternate communications with Oconee and Pickens Counties emergency response organizations. (Figure F-2)
F. 1.b On a monthly basis, a communication check is made to state and local government warning points within the Emergency Planning Zone.
Communications during an emergency situation would be by DEMNET, site telephone system/commercial phone service, or by radio (where appropriate).
F. 1.c The EOF organization has the responsibility to ask for federal response.
However, communication with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission from the emergency response facilities, would be by use of the Emergency Telecommunication System (ETS) located in the Control Room areas, Technical Support Center, or the Emergency Operations Facility.
F-1 Rev. 2015-004 May 2015
F. EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS F. 1.d The Emergency Response Organization has the following communications systems available for use during emergencies:
- 1) Oconee Nuclear Station Telephone System (Generator backed and battery backed)
Fiber-Optic to Charlotte GO (65 lines)
Telephone line to Easley (6 circuits)

Division/Section Directives describe the Emergency Response Organization.
Figures A-2A, A-2B depicts the procedure for recall of the Emergency Organization.
H.5 Monitoring Systems On Site - If an emergency situation occurs at the plant, plant personnel continually monitor plant parameters with regard to limits and surveillance requirements specified in the appropriate Technical Specifications, Operating Procedures and Emergency Procedures. These parameters will affect the emergency classification and therefore affect decisions implementing specific emergency measures. In addition to monitoring plant parameters, radiological surveys may be used to verify, augment and/or delineate the assessment of the emergency. (Figure H-20).
H-4 Rev. 2015-004 May2015
H. EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT H.5.a Natural Phenomena Monitors Natural phenomena instrumentation to monitor wind speed and direction, temperature and vertical temperature gradient (Figure H-4); and seismic activity (Figure H- 18).
H.5.b Radiological Monitors (H-5)
Area Radiation Monitoring System The area radiation monitoring system detectors are located throughout the plant in locations where significant radiation levels may exist, which may change with time and with the operation being performed. They are designed primarily for the protection of personnel performing such operations as routine coolant sampling, refueling, reactor building entry, radioactive waste disposal operations and for certain other operating and maintenance work. The system has sufficient range and flexibility to permit readout during routine operations and during any transient or emergency conditions that may exist. The equipment is self checking for proper operation and alarms both in the local area and in the respective control room. Where necessary or desirable, readout is also provided locally.
Process Radiation Monitoring System Radiation monitoring of process systems provides early warning of equipment, component, or system malfunctions or potential radiological hazards. The Process Radiation Monitoring System includes alarms, indications, and recording of data in the control rooms. In some cases automatic action is taken upon an alarm condition; in others the alarm serves as a warning to the operator so that manual corrective action can be taken.
Radioactive liquid and gaseous waste effluent are monitored and coordinated by Operations and controlled to assure that radioactivity released does not exceed 10 CFR 20 limits for the plant as a whole.
H-5 Rev. 2015-004 May 2015
H. EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT Personnel Monitoring System Personnel monitoring equipment consisting of film badges and/or their equivalent (thermo-luminescent dosimeters, TLD's), are assigned by the Radiation Protection Section and worn by all personnel at Oconee whose job involves significant levels of radiation exposure as defined in 10 CFR 20. In addition, pocket chambers, electronic dosimeters, self-reading dosimeters, pocket high radiation alarms, wrist badges, and/or finger tabs are readily available for use by those persons who ordinarily work in the Controlled Area or whose job requires frequent access to this area.
Portable Monitors - sufficient numbers are available for use in assessing radiological conditions. (Figure H-6).
Sampling Equipment - sufficient numbers are available for use in assessing radiological conditions. (Figure H-7).
H.5.c Process Monitors - Non-radiological Monitoring Non-radiological monitoring capabilities include reactor coolant system pressure, temperatures, flows, and water level for detection of inadequate core cooling. Containment pressure, temperature, liquid levels, flow rates, and status of equipment components are monitored to assess containment integrity.
H.5.d Fire and Combustion products detectors - (Figure H-8).
H.6 Offsite Monitoring and Analysis for Emergency Response H.6.a Natural-Phenomena Monitors Facilities and equipment include two onsite meteorological towers. Also, an agreement has been established with the Greenville-Spartanburg National Weather service to provide meteorological information should our system become inoperable.
H..6.b Radiological monitors for emergency environmental monitoring are provided in emergency kits. The established environmental monitoring network and sampling equipment in the surrounding area are also available to provide emergency assessment data.
The existing radiological monitoring program will provide base line information as well as in-place monitoring for early assessment data.
(Figure A) (H-9 and H-10).
H-6 Rev. 2015-004 May 2015
H. EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT Normal environmental monitoring equipment includes radioiodine and particulate continuous air samplers and thermo-luminescent dosimeters, located and collected according to pre-established criteria. Environmental monitoring will be expanded as necessary during an emergency situation in accordance with offsite monitoring procedures.
H.6.c Laboratory Facilities - Include mobile emergency monitoring capabilities available through the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control, Bureau of Solid and Hazardous Waste Management and the DOE Radiological Assistance Team. In addition, Oconee Nuclear Station (ONS) has emergency vehicles for mobile assessment purposes. Fixed facilities are available for gross counting and spectral analysis in the ONS counting laboratory (Figure H-11) and at the Duke Energy Environmental Laboratory near the McGuire Nuclear Station, Charlotte, North Carolina.
Should the plant lose the capability to use the count room onsite, samples can be counted at the backup count room or in one of the mobile assessment field monitoring vans. Portable equipment would be relocated to this area.
(Figure H-3)
H.7 Offsite radiological monitoring equipment is located in the storage area outside the protected area. Emergency kits are available for off-site monitoring teams who would be monitoring for radiation offsite. (Figure H-12).
H.8 Meteorological Instrumentation A primary and one auxiliary meteorological tower provides the basic parameters on display in the Control Room. (Figure H-4 shows the meteorological equipment.)
Meteorological measurement equipment meets the criteria of the milestones addressed in Appendix 2 of NUREG 0654 and Proposed Revision 1 to Regulatory Guide 1.23.
An operable dose calculation methodology is in use in the Control Room, Technical Support Center and the Emergency Operations Facility.
The dose assessment methodology for the Oconee Nuclear Station consists of calculations for three separate source terms. The first source term is based on the activity that has been or is actually being released through the unit vent; the second source term is based on a potential release using the reactor building dose rate and design basis assumptions for containment leakage; the third source term is based on the activity that has been or is actually being released through the steam relief valves.
H-7 Rev. 2015-004 May2015
H. EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT The release rate is calculated for each source term using relative atmospheric dispersion factors calculated by the meteorological model and either actual sample data or radiation monitor readings. These release rates are then added together and used to calculate the dose rate or a projected dose over the duration of the release or over 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> if release duration is unknown at 1, 2, 5 and 10 miles downwind from the plant.
These dose assessment methods provide the capability to calculate the dose from actual or potential releases following an accident. A fifty-year committed dose equivalent (CDE) to the thyroid and a total effective doseequivalent (TEDE) from exposure to a semi-infinite cloud and a four-day ground shine as applicable are determined. The dose conversion factors are derived from EPA-400. Near real time radiation monitor readings, sample data, and meteorological data are combined to provide timely, realistic dose calculations.
This model will provide the capability to assess and monitor actual or potential offsite consequences of a radiological emergency condition.
Direct telephone access to the person responsible for making offsite dose calculations is available to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission through the use of the NRC Health Physics Network line. The physical location of this person is in the Emergency Operations Facility.
H.9 Operational Support Center - Emergency Supplies The Operational Support Center will have the same shielding, and ventilation as the Control Room. Protective clothing and breathing equipment are available to the personnel assembled in these areas. (See Figures H-13, H-14, H-17)
H.10 Inspection and Inventory of Emergency Equipment and Supplies All emergency equipment designated by the Oconee Nuclear Station Emergency Plan shall be inventoried and inspected on a quarterly basis or in agreement with established procedures. Supplies will be inventoried/replaced after each drill and/or exercise or actual emergency where supplies might have been used.
Calibration of any/all emergency equipment shall be at the intervals recommended by the supplier of the equipment.

K. Radiological Exposure Control To assure that means for controlling radiological exposures in an emergency are established for emergency workers and the affected population.
K. 1 Onsite exposure guidelines have been established for the following categories:
MAXIMUM EXPOSURE LIMITS INREM CATEGORIES TOTAL LENS OF THE SKIN EXTREMITIES COMMITTED EFFECTIVE EYE DOSE DOSE EQUIVALENT EQUIVALENT* (ORGAN)**
All 5 rem 15 rem 50 rem 50 rem 50 rem Protecting Valuable Property 10 rem 30 rem 100 rem 100 rem 100 rem Lifesaving or Protection of 25 rem 75 rem 250 rem 250 rem 250 rem Large Population VOLUNTEER BASIS: >25 rem >75 rem >250 rem >250 rem >250 rem Lifesaving or Protection of Large Population
- Note TEDE to non-pregnant adults from exposure during an emergency situation. Special precautions should be taken to limit dose to eye lens, and other organs, tissues, or extremities. With regard to maximum limit, EPA concluded that it was not possible to prejudge the acceptable risk for saving a life. Doses may be authorized to the limits established in this chart.
- Note: Administration of stable iodine will be recommended for emergency workers if a dose of 5 rem CDE is projected to the thyroid from radioiodine. This action will require approval of the Radiation Protection Manager in the OSC for site Duke Energy and contractor personnel and offsite Duke Energy and contractor personnel until the EOF is operational. Once the EOF is operational, the Radiological Assessment Manager in the EOF approves the administration of stable iodine for offsite Duke Energy and contract personnel.
The following guidance is provided for use by the Emergency Coordinator or Radiation Protection Manager in determining appropriate actions concerning the rescue and recovery of personnel and the protection of health and property during periods of emergency.
Saving of Human Life Evaluate inherent risks by considering:
-limits of error in calculating the dose rate in subject area.
- effects (biological) upon rescue workers Assess the ability to reduce risk through use of protective equipment, remote manipulation equipment, portable shielding, or similar means.
K-1 Rev. 2015-004 April 2015
Weigh the risk to rescue personnel against the probability of success of the rescue attempt.
Ensure that all personnel planned for use in the rescue attempt understand their actions are voluntar and they are aware of the known or estimated extent of risk.
Recovery of Deceased Victim Recovery operation should be well planned as time is not a factor as above.
Radiation exposure should be controlled to remain within existing occupational exposure guidelines.
-In special circumstances where removal of a body or bodies cannot take place without entry of emergency workers, the Emergency Coordinator may determine it necessary to exceed occupational exposure standards.
K.2 Doses in Excess of 10 CFR Part 20 The Operations Shift Manager in the Control Room, the Emergency Coordinator in the TSC, or the Radiation Protection Manager in the OSC is responsible for authorizing emergency workers to receive doses in excess of 10 CFR 20 limits. Onsite radiation protection programs shall be implemented during emergencies which shall be consistent with ALARA conditions. The site will be responsible for providing medical treatment and rescue efforts for lifesaving missions. Procedures are in place for expeditious decision making with reasonable consideration of the relative risks involved in a lifesaving mission involving radiation exposure.
Protection of Health and Property Where the risk of the radiation hazard bears significantly on the health of people or may result in loss of property, so that immediate remedial action is required, the following criteria apply:
Planned exposures are not to exceed 5 Rad Total Effective Dose Equivalent. Under special circumstances, the Emergency Coordinator in the TSC or the Radiation Protection Manager in the OSC can extend limits to (personnel who volunteer) as shown in the table on page K-1.
K-2 Rev. 2015-004 April 2015
K.3.a 24-hour Capability to Determine Doses by Emergency Personnel Provisions have been made for maintaining records of emergency personnel during a radiological emergency. The Operational Support Center will provide a means for keeping track of dose to personnel involved in a nuclear accident. Distribution of dosimeters (self-reading and electronic) and TLD badges will be provided for all personnel.
Should any offsite agency respond to an emergency at the site during a nuclear emergency, dosimeters will be provided for their use to determine dose.
K.3.b Dose Records The Surveillance and Control Coordinator in the Operational Support Center shall have the responsibility of keeping records of the doses received by personnel involved in any nuclear emergency. (Figure K-5 thru Figure K-6). Personnel dose will be kept using the Electronic Dose Capture (EDC) system. Should this system not be readily accessible or is not available, dose will be kept using the Daily Exposure Time Record Card (Figure K-4). Normal operating procedures shall be followed for the use of dosimeters and the TLD badges. Distribution of additional dosimeters and badges shall be through the Operational Support Center.
K. 4 PAGS for Emergency Workers Oconee County FNF Plans.
Pickens County FNF Plans.
State of South Carolina FNF Emergency Plans, Site Specific.
K.5.a Action Levels for Determining the Need for Decontamination Guidelines as established in the Radiation Protection Policy Manual for Contamination Control and decontamination will be used to determine action levels for decontamination. Preplanning efforts have been established by the Surveillance and Control Coordinator.
K-3 Rev. 2015-004 April 2015
K.5.b Radiological Decontamination Emergency Personnel wounds - Medical decontamination kits (Figure K-1 thru K-3) are available in several locations. Wounds (if contaminated) will be decontaminated if the welfare of the patient is not at stake. Decontamination efforts will take place at the site prior to medical care if the situation warrants it. However, if the injury is considered serious, decontamination efforts will not take place and the patient will be transported to the hospital immediately for proper medical care. A radiation protection technician will accompany the patient to the hospital. See Radiation Protection Policy Manual, Section VI-04, Investigation of Unusual Radiological Occurrences.
Supplies - The Radiation Protection Manager will determine whether it may be more economical to dispose of a class of items, rather than to decontaminate them.
Instruments and equipment - For specific information refer to Radiation Protection Policy Manual, Section 111-9, Contamination Control.
Waste Disposal - Low-level solid wastes (contaminated trash) will be collected in labeled containers, and will normally be compacted. Intermediate and high level solid waste (spent resins, spent filters, evaporator bottoms, etc.) will be placed in containers and shielded as appropriate. All radioactive solid wastes will be shipped to an NRC-licensed or agreement state disposal facility offsite.
In accordance with Selected Licensee Commitments Manual Section 16.11, station discharge limits have been established for the disposal of airborne radioactive wastes.
These limits are calculated based on 10 CFR 50 Appendix I requirements, the composition and concentration of the waste, the flow rate in the unit vents, a factor for site meteorological dilution, and 10 CFR 20 Appendix B allowable concentration for Unrestricted Areas.
After the required sampling and laboratory analyses are completed, contaminated liquid waste is pumped from the Liquid Waste Tank(s), essentially on a batch basis, and discharged, with the necessary dilution, to the environment. The liquid waste effluent discharge line is monitored by a process instrument, and the release will be stopped if preset concentration limits are reached.
K-4 Rev. 2015-004 April 2015
K.6 Contamination Control Measures K.6.a Area Access Control - The plant site will be evacuated should station management determine the potential exists for non-essential personnel to be exposed to an unplanned dose in excess of 10CFR20 limits. Once the site has been evacuated, access to the plant will be limited by the Highway Patrol on the public highway and then Site Security will limit access to the plant except through an established access entrance. Contamination Control Areas and Restricted Areas will be established by Site Radiation Protection personnel.
Drinking Water and Food Supplies - Drinking water and food supplies can be brought in by private vendor if necessary. No eating or drinking is permitted in radiation areas or zones unless permitted by the Radiation Protection Manager.
K.6.b Recovery efforts will be determined by the Onsite Recovery Organization on a case by case basis. Decontamination measures to return areas and items to normal use will be the responsibility of the site during the recovery effort. However, the use of good radiation protection decontamination practices as evidenced by the Radiation Protection Policy Manual will be the general criteria used.
K. 7 Decontamination of Personnel at Relocation Assembly Area Should non-essential plant personnel be evacuated from the station to an offsite area, provisions for extra clothing and decontaminants suitable for any type of contamination have been made (Figure K-2).
Offsite assembly areas have been determined so that site personnel may be relocated to a safe site quickly and can be decontaminated (if necessary), monitored, and released (Figure J-2). Records will be made of the contamination levels of any/all personnel released from the site to an offsite assembly area (Figure K-5) and again when they are released from the offsite area (Figure K-5).

Overall Respons Oranization l.a The Oconee Nuclear Station Emergency Plan is a coordinated effort involving:.site personnel, site, emergency plans, plant facilities and equipment, the emergency resources of Duke Energy Company
- corporate organization, emergency services of various local, state, and federal agencies having appropriate jurisdiction or concern for public health and safety. .
Conept of Oprtins for Emgeny=Roonse - 0com Nuclear Station L.b During the first critical hours (until outside agencies responsible for public health and safety can properly respond), the Operations Shift Manager on duty at the Oconee Nuclear Station assumes, responsibility for initiating protective action required for any location within the Site Boundary or Emergency Planning Zones that may be affected as a result of an emergency. The Operations Shift Manager will determine the emergency action level. Notification of Unusual Events dictate that offsite agencies be notified and that site management and corporate management are made aware of the event. If no further deterioration transpires, the event is closed out and agencies so notified. However, if the event is escalated and determined that a higher action level exists, the Emergency Response Organization. is activated.

Emergency Planning Functional Area Manual
- 3. 10 10CFR 50.54(q) Evaluations Attachment 3.10.7.3 Pickens County, Oconee County, the State of South Carolina Warning Point, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission are notified of any emergency status. The Corporate Office is noti fled of all emergency classifications and would provide support to the site as requested.
The Pickens County and Oconee County Emergency Management Agencies coordinate designated agency response through their Emergency Operation Centers. Until the State of South Carolina Emergency Organization is in a position to respond to the radiological emergency, the local county emergency preparedness offices will be responsible for the public and will make the necessary response required to provide for the health, safety and welfare of the public. Until the State of South Carolina is in place at their emergency operations center, direct contact will be made through the designated warning point in Columbia, South Carolina.
After the station manager assumes the role as Emergency Coordinator in the Technical Support Center, the Operations Shift Manager is then able to devote his full attention to the Control Room. The Technical Support Center will provide contact to offsite agencies until relieved by the Emergency Operations Facility.
Technical support and accident mitigation strategy will be provided to the control room by the Technical Support Center.
Once the EOF Director assumes control of the Emergency Operations Facility, the Technical Support Center will be relieved of the responsibility of contact with offsite agencies. The EOF Director is responsible for providing technical information to the local and state governmental agencies that will be utilized to determine actions required to protect the health and safety of the public.
During a security event involving an intrusion/attempted intrusion into the site by a hostile force after normal working hours, activation of the Technical Support Center will be delayed for personnel safety. In this situation the Emergency Operations Facility may be activated and relieve the Operations Shift Manager of his Emergency Coordinator responsibilities. This transfer of Emergency Coordinator responsibilities directly to the Emergency Operations Facility will allow the Operations Shift Manager to devote his full attention to the control room.
The Emergency Operations Facility will augment the plant emergency organization staff with additional Duke Energy management, (both administrative and technical personnel). The Charlotte EOF will be staffed with qualified personnel from the Duke Energy Nuclear General Office and Catawba and McGuire Nuclear Stations. The lines of authority, responsibilities and functions for the EOF Organization are established in the Oconee Nuclear Station Emergency Plan. Functions are:
-Management of offsite Duke Energy emergency response
-Coordination of radiological and environmental assessment

Discussion This revision changes the approval authority for administration of KI from the Radiation Protection Manager in the OSC or the Emergency Coordinator to Radiation Protection Manager (RPM) for site Duke Energy and contractor personnel and off-site Duke energy and contractor personnel until the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) is operational and the Radiological Assessment Manager (RAM) for off-site Duke Energy and contractor personnel and EOF personnel once the EOF is activated. If the determination is made to distribute KI tablets, then the Emergency Coordinator (EC) and Emergency Operating Facility (EOF) Director are notified, but their approval is not required.
Although the approval authority has been changed, the responsibilities for emergency response by the nuclear facility licensee are still assigned, the emergency responsibilities of the various supporting organizations have been specifically established, and each principal response organization has staff to respond and to augment its initial response on a continuous basis.
Therefore, the Oconee Emergency Plan continues to comply with PS 1.
- 2. PS 10 Evaluation
§50.47(b)(10) - A range of protective actions has been developed for the plume exposure pathway EPZ for emergency workers and the public. In developing this range of actions, consideration has been given to evacuation, sheltering, and, as a supplement to these, the prophylactic use of potassium iodide (KI), as appropriate. Evacuation time estimates have been developed by applicants and licensees. Licensees shall update the evacuation time estimates on a periodic basis. Guidelines for the choice of protective actions during an emergency, consistent with Federal guidance, are developed and in place, and protective actions for the ingestion exposure pathway EPZ appropriate to the locale have been developed.
This is further explained in NUREG-0654, Criterion J.6:
J.6 Each licensee shall, for individuals remaining or arriving onsite during the emergency, make provisions for:
- a. Individual respiratory protection;
- b. Use of protective clothing; and
- c. Use of radioprotective drugs (e.g., individual thyroid protection).
Discussion The Oconee Emergency Plan, as revised, continues to provide information for distribution of Active Potassium Iodide (KI) tablets to Duke Energy and contractor personnel onsite in the event of a release of radioiodine resulting from emergency conditions. The scope has been expanded to include all Duke Energy and contractor personnel in the event of Hostile Action Scenario during radioiodine release.
Therefore, Oconee Emergency Plan, as revised, continues to comply with PS 10.

Emergency Planning Functional Area Manual 3.10 10CFR 50.54(q) Evaluations Attachment 3.10.7.3 consistent with EPA Emergency Worker and Lifesaving Activity Protective Action Guides.
This is further explained in NUREG-0654, Criterion K. I K. I Each licensee shall establish onsite exposure guidelines consistent with EA Emergency Worker and lifesaving Activity Protective Actions Guides (EPA 520/1-75/001 )...
Discussion EPA 520/1-75/001 has been superseded by EPA 400-R-92-001, Manual of Protective Action Guides And Protective Actions For Nuclear Incidents (October 1991). EPA-400-R-92-001 specified a threshold of 25 rem committed dose equivalent to the thyroid from radioiodine as the threshold for administration of stable iodine. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), Guidance PotassiumIodide as a Thyroid Blocking Agent in Radiation Emergencies (December 1991) provided additional guidance on the threshold for administration of stable iodine. Based on a review of the latter, Duke Energy adopted a threshold for administration of stable iodine of 5 rem CDE projected to the thyroid from radioiodine.
The Oconee Emergency Plan, as revised, continues to use a threshold for administration of stable iodine of 5 rem CDE projected to the thyroid from radioiodine for distribution of Active Potassium Iodide (KI) tablets in the event of a release of radioiodine resulting from emergency conditions. The scope has been expanded to include all Duke Energy and contractor personnel in the event of Hostile Action Scenario during radioiodine release.
Therefore, Oconee Emergency Plan, as revised, continues to comply with PS 1i.

Conclusion:
I BLOCKS5 I. Evaluation:
The Emergency Plan revision changes the approval authority for administration of KI from the Radiation Protection Manager in the OSC or the Emergency Coordinator to Radiation Protection Manager (RPM) for site Duke Energy and contractor personnel and off-site Duke energy and contractor personnel until the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) is operational and the Radiological Assessment Manager (RAM) for off-site Duke Energy and contractor personnel and EOF personnel once the EOF is activated. If the determination is made to distribute KI tablets, then the Emergency Coordinator (EC) and Emergency Operating Facility (EOF) Director are notified, but their approval is not required. Although the approval authority has been changed, the responsibilities for emergency response by the nuclear facility licensee are still assigned, the emergency responsibilities have been specifically established, and the emergency response organization continues to have staff to respond and to augment its initial response on a continuous basis. This change aligns the approval authority with that in the currently approved procedure, SHI/O/B/2005/003, Distribution of Potassium Iodide Tablets in the event of a Radioiodine Release.
The Oconee Emergency Plan, as revised, continues to use a threshold for administration of stable iodine of 5 rem CDE projected to the thyroid from radioiodine for distribution of Active Potassium Iodide (KI).
tablets in the event of a release of radioiodine resulting from emergency conditions. Log sheets will continue to be kept by Radiation Protection personnel of all persons onsite to the use of radioprotective drugs. The scope has been expanded to include all Duke Energy and contractor personnel in the event of Hostile Action Scenario during radioiodine release. This is considered an enhancement.

APPENDIX 3 DUKE ENERGY OCONEE NUCLEAR SITE ALERT AND NOTIFICATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Alert and Notification System for Oconee Nuclear Site will include an acoustic alerting signal and notification of the public by commercial broadcast (EAS). The system is designed to meet the acceptance criteria of Section B of Appendix 3, NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1.
The emergency plans of the State of South Carolina and the counties of Oconee and Pickens include the individuals, by title, who will be responsible for decision making in regards to the alert and notification system. The county locations from which the sirens would be activated and, potentially, the request for an EAS message would come are manned 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day.
Each organization's plan describes provisions for use of public communications media or other emergency instructions to members of the public. The plan of the State of South Carolina includes a description of the information that would be communicated to the public under given circumstances.
A. Concept of Operations (Figure 2)
A system of 65 fixed sirens is installed in the 10 mile area around the Oconee Nuclear Site. A computerized feedback system is also available at the county level to poll each siren for activation response. Should a siren fail to activate, a backup means of alerting and notification is described in the State and County Plans. This backup method includes emergency service vehicles traversing the area and giving both an alerting signal and notification message.
Each county will control the activation of the sirens within its boundaries.
B. Criteria for Acceptance The alert and notification system for the Oconee Nuclear Site provides an alerting signal and an informational or instructional message to the population (via the EAS) on an area wide basis throughout the 10 mile EPZ within 15 minutes from the time off-site agencies have determined the need for such alerting exists. The emergency plan of the state of South Carolina includes evidence of EAS preparation for emergency situations and the means for activating the system.
1 Rev. 2015-004 May 2015
C. Physical Implementation
- 1. The activation of this alert and notification system requires procedures and relationships between both Duke Energy Company and the off-site agencies that support Duke and Oconee Nuclear Site. When an incident is determined to have reached the level requiring public protective actions, Duke contacts the cognizant off-site agency via the "DEMNET" or other phone system and provides its recommendations. This system is available for use 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day and links the control room, TSC, EOF, SC (EOC), the county warning points, and the county EOC's.
- 2. The alert and notification system has multipurpose use built into it. The sirens are capable of producing a three minute steady signal for the nuclear plant emergency or a three minute wailing signal for natural disasters or nuclear attack. Procedures exist at the counties to allow activation of either signal.
The expected performance of the sirens used in this system is described in Figure
- 1. These sirens complement existing alerting systems. The ambient background sound level in the Oconee area is taken to be 50 db for areas of "less than 2000 persons/per square mile". On this basis, the siren coverage is designed to provide a signal 10 db above the average daytime ambient background (i.e., 60 db).
Furthermore, the sirens have been located to assure that the maximum sound levels received by any member of the public should be lower than 123 db.
Duke Energy installed this system without a field survey of ambient conditions.
The basis for selection of the 60 db(c) and 70 db(c) criteria is documented as follows:
Location of heavy industry - There is no "heavy industry" in the Oconee 10 mile EPZ.
Attenuation factors with distance - 10 db loss per distance doubled (See Figure 1)
Rev. 2015-004 May2015
MODEL TOP FREQUENCY SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL AT 100' Federal Signal 2001 AC 705 Hz 127dB(C)+1dB
- See Figure 1 for 10 dB loss column Map showing siren location, - See i-5 Mounting height of sirens - 50 feet (approximate)
Special weather condition considerations (such as expected heavy snow) - None The siren system will produce a 3 minute steady signal and is capable of repetition.
The siren system will be tested and maintained in accordance with the following schedule:
Test or Maintenance Period Silent Test Every two weeks Full Cycle Test Quarterly Repair Before returning to service Full-cycle* Annually Preventive Maintenance At least annually
- Note: Full-cycle tests may substitute for growl tests.

Selective Signaling System has been replaced with DEMNET in support of a Duke Energy fleetwide initiative and is an overall enhancement for offsite notifications during an emergency. This change continues to comply with 10 CFR 50.47(b) planning standards and NRC requirements, as described in 10 CFR 50, Appendix E.
Activity Type: BLOCK2 H The activity is a change to the emergency plan M The activity affects implementation of the emergency plan, but is not a change to the emergency plan Impact and Licensing Basis Determination: 3BLOCK.3 Licensing Basis:
- 10CFR50.47(b)4 - A standard emergency classification and action level scheme, the bases of which include facility system and effluent parameters, is in use by the nuclear facility licensee, and State and local response plans call for reliance on information provided by facility licensees for determinations of minimum initial offsite response measures.
" 10CFR50.47(b)5 - Procedures have been established for notification, by the licensee, of State and local response organizations and for notification of emergency personnel by all organizations; the content of initial and follow-up messages to response organizations and the public has been established; and means to provide early notification and clear instruction to the populace within the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone have been established.
- 10CFR50.47(b)6 - Provisions exist for prompt communications among principal response organizations to emergency personnel and to the public.
" 10CFR50.47(b)8 - Adequate emergency facilities and equipment to support the emergency response are provided and maintained.
- 10CFR50.47(b)16 - Responsibilities for plan development and review and for distribution of emergency plans are established, and planners are properly trained.
o ONS E Plan Section D - Reg Guide 1.101, Rev. 3, August, 1992, approved the guidance provided by NUMARC/NESP-007, Revision 2, as an Alternative Methodology for the Development of Emergency Action Levels. Oconee Nuclear Site used the NUMARC guidance for the development of initiating conditions and emergency action levels. The emergency action levels provided in this section have been modified to implement the guidance provided in NRC Bulletin 2005-02, NEI guidance as endorsed in Regulatory Issue Summary 2006-12 and to support the implementation of NET 03-12.
o ONS E Plan Section F - Provisions exist for prompt communications among principal response organizations, emergency personnel, and to the public.
o ONS E Plan Section H - Emergency Facilities And Equipment.
o ONS E Plan Appendix 3 - The Alert and Notification System for Oconee Nuclear Site will include an acoustic alerting signal and notification of the public by commercial broadcast (EAS). The system is designed to meet the acceptance criteria of Section B of Appendix 3, NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1.
Compliance Evaluation and
Conclusion:
BLOCK 4 Evaluation:
The proposal changing selective signaling to DEMNET serve to ensure the ONS E Plan remains accurate and up to date with correct communications means/methods as required by 10CFR50.47(b) Primary and backup means of communication between the Site, local government agencies, and State response organizations have been established. Compliance is continued with the replacement of Selective Signaling with DEMNET. DEMNET is the new system that will be used to replace selective signaling which is being replaced as a result of support from the vendor being discontinued 12/31/2015. The 50.54q effectiveness review completed for the DEMINET System describes how the change in notification methods at ONS resulted ineno reduction in effectiveness of the emergency plan. Previous backup systems specified have not been replaced and continue as before. Calls to the state and local agencies will be made via DEMNET instead of selective signaling. Therefore continued compliance with 10CFR50.47(b) is assured.
Conclusion:
The proposed activity Z does / E] does not continue to comply with the requirements.

Conclusion:
BLOCK5
- 1. Evaluation:
The evaluation uses the comparison matrix to identify each change numerically, the reason the change was made, and the resultant impact on effectiveness of the E Plan.
- 1. ONS E Plan Section D, Editorial Change: replacing a reference for Selective Signaling with DEMNET and a title change correction; Operations Shift Manager to Shift Manager. Therefore continued compliance is assured.
- 2. ONS E Plan Section F, Editorial Change: replacing a reference for Selective Signaling with DEMNET, title change correction; Operations Shift Manager to Shift Manager, and replacing SH/0/B/2005/002 with AD-EP-ALL-0203.
Therefore continued compliance is assured.
- 3. ONS E Plan Section H-11, COUNT ROOM EQUIPMENT (ONSITE). The vendor equipment/instrument names are being removed based on recent instrumentation upgrades. Although the equipment remains the same functionality the vendor names are removed to reduce E-Plan revision burden. Therefore continued compliance with 10CFR50.47(b)8 and 10CFR50 Appendix E.IV.G is assured.
- 4. ONS E Plan App 3, Editorial Change: replacing a reference for Selective Signaling with DEMNET. Therefore continued compliance is assured.
- 5. ONS E Plan Table of Contents, Editorial Change: replacing SH/O/B/2005/003 with AD-EP-ALL-0204. Therefore continued compliance is assured.
There is no reduction in effectiveness as a result of these changes.
The functional criteria specified in Reg Guide 1.219 for the identified license bases includes:
10CFR50.47b.4, has One emergency planning function has been defined for this planning standard:
(1) A standard scheme of emergency classification and action levels is in use.
10CFR50.47b.5, has Three emergency planning functions have been defined for this planning standard:
(1) Procedures for notification of State and local governmental agencies are capable of alerting them of the declared emergency within 15 minutes after declaration of an emergency and providing follow-up notifications.
(2) Administrative and physical means have been established for alerting and providing prompt instructions to the public within the plume exposure pathway.
(3) The public ANS meets the design requirements of FEMA-REP-10, "Guide for Evaluation of Alert and Notification Systems for Nuclear Power Plants" (Ref. 12), or is compliant with the licensee's FEMA-approved ANS design report and supporting FEMA approval letter.
10CFR50.47b.6, has two emergency planning functions defined for this planning standard:
(1) Systems are established for prompt communication among principal emergency response organizations.
(2) Systems are established for prompt communication to emergency response personnel.
10CFR50.47b.8, has two emergency planning functions defined for this planning standard:
(1) Adequate facilities are maintained to support emergency response.
(2) Adequate equipment is maintained to support emergency response.
10CFR50.47b.16, has two emergency planning function defined for this planning standard:
(1) Responsibility for emergency plan development and review is established.
(2) Planners responsible for emergency plan development and maintenance are properly trained.
The proposed changes as detailed above do not alter or impact these functions. As can be seen in the detail above and use of the comparison matrix.

Conclusion:
BL I. PS 10 Evaluation
§50.47(b)(10) - A range of protective actions has been developed for the plume exposure pathway EPZ for emergency workers and the public. In developing this range of actions, consideration has been given to evacuation, sheltering, and, as a supplement to these, the prophylactic use of potassium iodide (KI), as appropriate. Evacuation time estimates have been developed by applicants and licensees. Licensees shall update the evacuation time estimates on a periodic basis. Guidelines for the choice of protective actions during an emergency, consistent with Federal guidance, are developed and in place, and protective actions for the ingestion exposure pathway EPZ appropriate to the locale have been developed.
This is firther explained in NUREG-0654, Criterion J.6:
J.6 Each licensee shall, for individuals remaining or arriving onsite during the emergency, make provisions for:
- a. Individual respiratory protection;
- b. Use of protective clothing; and
- c. Use of radioprotective drugs (e.g., individual thyroid protection).
Discussion SH/ii0//2005/003, Distribution of Potassium Iodide Tablets in the Event of a Radioiodine Release, provided information necessary to distribute Active Potassium Iodide (KI) tablets to Emergency Response Organization (ERO) personnel in the event of a release of radioiodine resulting from emergency conditions. AD-EP-ALL-0204, Distribution of Potassium Iodide Tablets in the Event of a Radioiodine Release, will provide information for distribution of Active Potassium Iodide (KI) tablets to Duke Energy and contractor personnel in the event of a release of radioiodine resulting from emergency conditions. The scope of the procedure has been expanded to include all Duke Energy and contractor personnel in the event of Hostile Action Scenario during radioiodine release.
Therefore, AD-EP-ALL-0204 continues to comply with PS 10.
- 3. PS II Evaluation
§50.47(b)(I 1) - Means for controlling radiological exposures, in an emergency, are established for emergency workers. The means for controlling radiological exposures shall include exposure guidelines consistent with EPA Emergency Worker and Lifesaving Activity Protective Action Guides.
Emergency Planning Functional Area Manual 3.10 10CFR 50.54(q) Evaluations Attachment 3.10.7.3 This is further explained in NUREG-0654, Criterion K.1 K. I Each licensee shall establish onsite exposure guidelines consistent with EA Emergency Worker and lifesaving Activity Protective Actions Guides (EPA 520/1-75/001)...
Discussion EPA 520/1-75/001 has been superseded by EPA 400-R-92-00 1, Manual of Protective Action Guides And Protective Actions For Nuclear Incidents (October 199 1). EPA-400-R-92-001 specified a threshold of 25 rem Committed dose equivalent to the thyroid from radioiodine as the threshold for administration of stable iodine. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), Guidance Potassium Iodide as a Thyroid Blocking Agent in Radiation Emergencies (December 1991) provided additional guidance on the threshold for administration of stable iodine. Based on a review of the latter, Duke Energy adopted a threshold for administration of stable iodine of 5 rem CDE projected to the thyroid from radioiodine.
Therefore, AD-EP-ALL-0204 continues to comply with PS 11.
Conclusion:
The proposed activity El does / El does not continue to comply with the requirements.
Reduction in Effectiveness (RIE) Evaluation and
Conclusion:
B
- 1. Evaluation:
Catawba, McGuire, and Oconee will continue to have a procedure for distribution of potassium iodide tablets in the event of a radioiodine release. AD-EP-ALL-0204 continues to use a threshold for administration of stable iodine of 5 rem CDE projected to the thyroid from radioiodine for distribution of Active Potassium Iodide (KI). Log sheets will continue to be kept by Radiation Protection personnel of all persons to document the use of radioprotective drugs. The scope has been expanded to include all Duke Energy and contractor personnel in the event of Hostile Action Scenario during radioiodine release. This is considered an enhancement.
The change in approval authority issuing KI at Oconee has been evaluated separately and determined not to be an RIE. The change in approval authority aligns the approval authority with that in the currently approved procedure, SH/O/B/2005/003, Distribution of Potassium Iodide Tablets in the event of a Radioiodine Release.
