DEFINITIONS Listed below are terms used in this Emergency Plan and the definitions that should be applied to these terms when used in the context of this Emergency Plan.

Adverse Meteorology - Meteorological conditions with a wind speed at 1 mile per hour or less.

ALARA - (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) - The level at which Entergy Operations strives to maintain personnel radiation exposure.

Alternate Emergency Operations Facility - The Entergy Arkansas, Inc. office in Russellville.

Assessment Actions - Those actions taken during or after an accident to obtain and process information on which decisions to implement specific emergency measures will be based.

Collocation - A term coined to describe the process by which counterparts from ANO, the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH), the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management (DEM), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other agencies work side by side (collocate) in order to more efficiently respond to an emergency.

Contamination - Radioactive material on the skin of the whole body (including face, hands, feet, and hair) of more than 100 counts per minute (CPM) above background or 20 disintegrations per minute (DPM) from alpha contamination.

Corrective Actions - Those emergency measures taken to mitigate or terminate an emergency situation in order to prevent an uncontrolled release of radioactive material or to reduce the magnitude of a release, e.g., shutting down equipment, fire fighting, repair and damage control.

Design Basis Accident (DBA) - Malfunctions or failures of equipment postulated for purposes of analysis to select limiting conditions for operations, safety systems setting and design specifications for equipment, components and systems from the standpoint of protection of public health and safety.

Dose - A generic term which means absorbed dose (RAD) or dose equivalent (REM) and is the quantity of radiation absorbed, per unit of mass, by the body or by any portion of the body.

Revision 30 19

DEFINITIONS (Continued)

Dose Rate Projections - The calculated estimate of a radiation dose rate to individuals at a given location, determined from the rate of radioactive material release and the appropriate meteorological transport and dispersion parameters (units typically in millirem, i.e., mrem/hr).

Dose Projections - The calculated estimate of a radiation dose to individuals at a given location, determined from the Dose Rate Projection at that location and the Projected Exposure Time interval during which the dose rate is expected to exist (units typically in millirem, i.e., mrem).

Emergency Action Levels (EALs) - A plant or onsite condition which has exceeded predetermined limits which would categorize the situation into one of the following four Emergency Classes:

Notification of Unusual Event Alert Site Area Emergency General Emergency Emergency Direction and Control - Overall direction of facility response which must include the non-delegable responsibilities for the decision to notify and to recommend protective actions to Arkansas Department of Health personnel and other authorities responsible for offsite emergency measures. The direction of facility operations to mitigate accident consequences remains with the TSC Director in the Technical Support Center and/or the Shift Manager in the Control Room.

Emergency News Center (ENC) - An offsite location used by Entergy Operations, the state, local, and other governmental agencies for the purpose of addressing the news media of conditions at ANO.

Emergency Notification System (ENS) - Dedicated emergency phones to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Operations Center used as the primary means for the site to report emergencies and other significant events to the NRC.

Emergency Operations Center (EOC) - An offsite location used by State, local, and other governmental agencies to coordinate their activities during a response to an emergency situation.

Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) - A near-site emergency facility located approximately 0.65 miles northeast of the reactor buildings (Figure J-4 indicates the location of the Emergency Operations Facility).

Revision 30 20

DEFINITIONS (Continued)

Emergency Operations Facility Director (EOF Director) - The designated senior management position who assumes authority (from the TSC Director or Shift Manager) to direct the overall emergency response. Duties are discussed in Section B.

Emergency Planning Zones (EPZ) - Those areas around the nuclear facility which form the basis for emergency planning activities.

a. 10-mile EPZ (Plume Exposure Pathway) - The area within a 10-mile radius of ANO in which the principal sources of exposure are whole body external exposure to gamma radiation from the plume and from deposited materials and/or inhalation exposure from the passing radioactive plume. The duration of principal potential exposures could range in length from hours to days. Also referred to as "inhalation exposure pathway".
b. 50-mile EPZ (Ingestion Exposure Pathway) The area within a 50-mile radius of the ANO reactor buildings that may be affected by deposition from a radiological release. The principle exposure would be from the ingestion of water or foods and the potential exposure time could range from hours to months.

Emergency Response Organization (ERO) - The emergency organization composed of the IRS, the Technical Support Center Staff, the Operational Support Center Staff, the emergency team members, and the Emergency Operations Facility Staff. It has the capability to provide manpower and other resources necessary for immediate and long-term response to an emergency situation.

Exclusion Area - That area surrounding Arkansas Nuclear One within a minimum radius of 0.65 miles of the reactor buildings and controlled to the extent necessary by Entergy Operations during an emergency. This area includes certain portions of the bed and banks of the Dardanelle Reservoir which are owned by the United States. An easement has been obtained from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers which entitles Entergy Operations, as an agent of Entergy Arkansas, Inc., to exclude all persons from these areas during an emergency. A map of the Exclusion Area is provided in Figure J-1.

Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP) - The plan which provides the federal government's concept of operations for responding to radiological emergency, outlines policies and assumptions that underlie the concept of operations, and specifies authorities and responsibilities of each federal agency likely to have a significant role in such emergencies.

Revision 30 21

DEFINITIONS (Continued)

INTRODUCTION 1.0 STATEMENT OF EMERGENCY PLANNING POLICY It is the policy of Entergy Operations, Incorporated that unusual events or accidents which may occur at its nuclear facilities are responded to in an organized and planned manner in order that potential hazards and concerns of the public as a result of the event or incident may be minimized. This response is based on the best understanding of the actual situation, with prudent actions and defined plans for possible complications. It is an essential part of this policy to provide prompt and publicly understandable information about these events to the nearby community and the public at large so that theirs may be an informed response.

The Arkansas Nuclear One Emergency Plan implements this Entergy Operations policy by establishing a company-wide organization for emergency response and planned response program to be activated should incidents at the Company's nuclear facilities have the potential for an external impact. Because these incidents may range from minor events requiring only a public information release to major events involving serious offsite consequences, the Emergency Plan was prepared with consideration to this variance. The Emergency Plan incorporates an orderly and timely decision-making process which ensures that the response is appropriate to the situation. The Emergency Plan creates a foundation of required information and guidelines for responsive decision-making, and, in addition, ensures the availability of the necessary facilities, equipment, supplies, services and personnel to handle emergency situations.

The Emergency Plan provides assurance that an effective interface between Entergy Operations and the Federal, State and local government agencies responsible for radiological response planning has been established. The Plan assures that appropriate measures are taken promptly to protect the health, safety, and property of the public for situations involving potential radiological hazards.

The Emergency Plan includes by reference the Arkansas Nuclear One Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures; defines the division of responsibilities and the support of site and corporate groups; and serves as a preparedness document for site and corporate response guidance. Details of implementation of the Emergency Plan such as step-by-step instructions, checklists, and telephone numbers are contained in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures and the Emergency Telephone Directory.

Revision 30 38

2.0 SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY This section of the Emergency Plan defines the unit, station, and area to which the Plan applies and presents a summary of the Plan's interrelationships with (1) its implementing procedures; (2) plant operating, radiological control, and industrial security procedures; and (3) emergency plans of participating agencies, particularly the State of Arkansas Emergency Operations Plan, Annex V - Arkansas Nuclear One Radiological Incident Response Plan and the individual County Plans for Pope, Johnson, Yell, Conway, and Logan Counties which are discussed in Section A.

2.1 PHYSICAL AREA INVOLVED This Emergency Plan is for incidents which may occur at either Unit 1 or Unit 2 of Arkansas Nuclear One located in Pope County, Arkansas, approximately five miles west-northwest of the town of Russellville. This Emergency Plan is primarily applicable to the Arkansas Nuclear One Exclusion Area and the Emergency Planning Zones within a ten mile and fifty mile radius of Arkansas Nuclear One as shown on Figures J-1, J-2, and J-3, respectively, although provisions exist for extending these areas in the unlikely event this coverage is necessary. Figure J-2 is divided into sixteen 221/2-degree sectors (designated as sectors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) and ten lettered radial zones at one mile radii from the center of the plant in order to identify the area surrounding the plant by sector and zone nomenclature. Figure J-4 depicts the location of the Arkansas Nuclear One Emergency Operations Facility and the site evacuation routes. The location of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD's) in the area surrounding the plant is provided in Figure J-5. The projected population distributions for 1970 through 2016 within ten miles and fifty miles of Arkansas Nuclear One are shown in Figures J-6 through J-19.

2.2 PLANS AND IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURES

SUMMARY

Entergy Operations, Incorporated is responsible for overall emergency response planning and implementation. The Emergency Plan describes the provisions made by Entergy Operations to respond to emergency situations within the Exclusion Area, and establishes the interfaces between Entergy Operations and local, State and Federal organizations capable of responding to plant-related emergencies which may extend outside the Exclusion Area.

Details concerning implementation of the Emergency Plan which are reasonably expected to change from time-to-time (e.g., names and telephone numbers, specific items of equipment and supplies, inventory lists, and step-by-step procedures or checklists that may be altered as a result of experience or exercises) are contained in the Emergency Plan Revision 30 39

Implementing Procedures maintained at Arkansas Nuclear One and other designated emergency response facilities.

The titles of these Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures are provided in Appendix 3. In the event of an emergency, the normal plant operating and radiological procedures are followed unless superseded by one of the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

The local and state governmental agency response to plant-related emergencies which may extend outside the Exclusion Area is coordinated by the Arkansas Department of Health/State of Arkansas Department of Emergency Management and is described in the State of Arkansas Emergency Operations Plan, Annex V, a summary of which is included in Section A. Like the Arkansas Nuclear One Emergency Plan, details concerning implementation of the State Emergency Operations Plan are contained in implementing procedures which are maintained in the appropriate government offices. A summary of the individual plans for Pope, Johnson, Yell, Conway, and Logan counties are included in Section A.

A brochure entitled "Arkansas Nuclear One, Emergency Instructions; Pope, Yell, Logan and Johnson Counties has been prepared and distributed by the state and local governments and Entergy Operations. Distribution of this brochure within the 10-Mile Emergency Planning Zone is made by one of three means. First, brochures are mailed annually to each rural and urban postal patron for use by the permanent population. Second, brochures are posted in public use areas such as State and Federal parks for use by the transient population. Third, brochures are placed in bulk containers for distribution in public facilities and businesses. The brochure distribution lists are provided as an attachment to the State of Arkansas Emergency Operations Plan.

The Emergency Plan includes security threats to the plant as emergency situations. The responses to these situations are described in the Arkansas Nuclear One Security Plan. Security during emergency situations is maintained in accordance with the Security Plan which is implemented by separate Security Plan Implementing Procedures.

Fire fighting equipment installed at Arkansas Nuclear One is described in the Fire Protection Program Manual. Fire fighting activities during emergency situations are conducted in accordance with the Fire Protection Program Manual and the Plant Procedures. Additional fire fighting support may be provided by the London Fire Department.

Revision 30 40

Arrangements have been made for local assistance from medical, law enforcement, fire fighting and other support organizations in the event such assistance should be required to supplement the plant organization. These arrangements include letters of agreement between Entergy Operations and the individual support organizations and the development of Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures for the coordination of any assistance which may be requested. These letters of agreement are summarized in Appendix 1.

3.0

SUMMARY

OF EMERGENCY PLAN This section summarizes the objectives of the Emergency Plan and describes the principal elements of the overall emergency planning logic.

3.1 EMERGENCY PLAN OBJECTIVES The objectives of the Emergency Plan are to:

a. establish an emergency organization to cope with emergency situations,
b. identify personnel and delineate their duties and responsibilities in the emergency organization,
c. identify emergency conditions, establish criteria for classifying emergency situations, implement prompt corrective and mitigating actions, perform dose assessment and issue appropriate Protective Action Recommendations,
d. establish a system for reporting emergency situations to local, State, and Federal governmental agencies in compliance with the criteria for notification,
e. establish a system for requesting emergency assistance,
f. establish procedures which coordinate the response of local, State, and Federal governmental agencies for emergency situations,
g. establish a system of communications for use during emergencies, and
h. identify the equipment and facilities available to respond to emergency conditions.

Revision 30 41

3.2

SUMMARY

OF THE EMERGENCY PLANNING LOGIC 3.2.1 Graded Classification System This Emergency Plan is based on a system of classification of unusual or emergency situations that present, or have the potential for creating, a hazardous condition. The classification system divides these situations into four subgroups, each of an increasingly hazardous nature, and provides specific criteria, responsibilities, and actions for each of these subgroups. The subgroups are referred to as Emergency Classes. As emergency situations develop or continue, they might be upgraded or downgraded from one Emergency Class to another. This graded classification system is described in Section D.

3.2.2 Emergency Organizations This Emergency Plan describes emergency organizations which are capable of assembling and effectively utilizing sufficient resources in response to each of the four Emergency Classes. These organizations consist of the Initial Response Staff, which can quickly respond to the immediate needs of the situation, and the Emergency Response Organization, which can provide sufficient resources to respond to the more long-term needs of the situation. These emergency organizations are described in Section B.

3.2.3 Emergency Measures This Emergency Plan describes the measures that are taken in response to each Emergency Class, and assigns specific duties to members of the emergency organization. These measures are categorized as assessment actions, protective actions, corrective actions and recovery actions. These actions are directed toward the following:

a. termination of the incident;
b. establishment of channels of information;
c. limitation of the area of effect; Revision 30 42
d. protection of equipment and facilities;
e. care of directly involved personnel;
f. definition of the boundaries of the emergency area; and
g. establishment of access control.

When control of the incident has been attained and there is no further danger to personnel and the emergency phase is at an end, recovery and restoration operations are then carried out.

The emergency measures for each Emergency Class and for recovery measures are described in Section D and Section M, respectively.

3.2.4 Equipment and Facilities This Emergency Plan describes the equipment and facilities which have been provided for the protection of plant personnel and the public, and the responsibilities for using the equipment and facilities for each Emergency Class. Additional equipment is assembled at the time of an emergency as is appropriate to the situation. Equipment and facilities available are described in Section H.

3.2.5 Training In order for this Emergency Plan to be effective and to maintain a high level of effectiveness, training of plant personnel, support groups and the public must be performed periodically. Section O describes the training provided for plant personnel and support groups to maintain their emergency preparedness. Public education is discussed in Section G.

Revision 30 43

A ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY This section describes the agreements between Entergy Operations and other organizations on assignments of responsibilities for the overall response to emergency situations at Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO). The functions and responsibilities of the Company, offsite support organizations, and State, Federal, and local governments are specifically discussed.

1.0 ENTERGY OPERATIONS, INCORPORATED Entergy Operations, Incorporated has overall responsibility for all emergency planning associated with Arkansas Nuclear One. Therefore, Entergy Operations has entered into agreements with the State of Arkansas, local organizations, and Federal organizations to establish an emergency plan which delineates the roles of Entergy Operations and other response organizations. The response role of the State of Arkansas is described in detail in the Arkansas Emergency Operations Plan, Annex V.

The Emergency Plan describes the provisions to activate an emergency response organization to manage the emergency response within the Exclusion Area; coordinate mutual support activities between ANO and offsite response organizations; provide recommendations to the State on emergency actions; and assure communications between response organizations.

Once the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) is activated, Entergy Operations contacts with senior management of State agencies responding to the incident are coordinated by the Emergency Operations Facility Director (EOF Director) or his designee. Initial notification of and continued coordination with the Governor of the State of Arkansas is the responsibility of the Chief Executive Officer of Entergy Operations, Incorporated and the EOF Director. In general, Entergy Operations coordinates its response with the State Department of Health, and this agency, in conjunction with the State Department of Emergency Management (DEM),

coordinates the support of other State agencies which may be required to respond.

During the initial response, notification of, and coordination with local support services (fire, medical, police), when their support is required at ANO, is the responsibility of ANO personnel.

Revision 30 A-1

1.1 RESPONSIBILITIES The responsibilities of Entergy Operations are described within the Emergency Plan as follows:

Section(s)

a. establish an emergency organization B
b. identify personnel and delineate A, B their duties and responsibilities in the emergency organization,
c. establish criteria for classifying D emergency situations;
d. establish a system for reporting E, F emergency situations to local, State, and Federal governmental agencies in compliance with the criteria for notification;
e. establish a system for requesting C, F emergency assistance;
f. establish procedures which coordinate B, C, F, the response of Entergy Operations and G, H, J local, State, and Federal governmental K, L, M agencies for emergency situations;
g. establish a system of communications F for use during emergencies; and,
h. identify possible emergency conditions H, I and the equipment and facilities available to respond to such conditions.

1.2 ENTERGY OPERATIONS/ENTERGY OFFSITE DEPARTMENT/SECTION CAPABILITIES This section of the Emergency Plan summarizes the capabilities of major offsite departments within the Company. Generally these services are not required except for events which require extended ERO activation (greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />). Interface between the ERO and offsite organizations are discussed in the appropriate subsection and/or implementing procedure.

Details for implementing responsibilities and actions which are interdepartmental in nature are contained in implementing procedures for this Plan.

Revision 30 A-2

The effectiveness of Entergy Operations in rapidly and effectively responding to an emergency condition at ANO is predicated upon having defined methods to obtain the service capabilities within the organization and being able to appropriately utilize these capabilities in a coordinated effort with other emergency response agencies in specific emergency situations.

Certain capabilities already designated as sectional or departmental responsibilities under normal company-wide activities are available, including:

  • Engineering Services
  • Government Liaison
  • Public Relations
  • Financial, Regulatory and Legal Services
  • Administering Nuclear Property Insurance
  • Safety, Health, and Claims
  • Transportation
  • Communications
  • Offsite Security
  • Computer Technical, Analytical, and Programming Assistance
  • Quality Assurance Other specialized capabilities which exist in the corporate organization are available to the plant operating staff and emergency response agencies to assist their efforts in coping with the emergency situation, including:
  • Coordination of Emergency Response Efforts
  • Radiological Monitoring and Analyses
  • Area Logistical Support
  • Materials Procurement
  • Construction Services Meteorology The release of information within Entergy Operations and Entergy regarding an incident is approved by the EOF Director and coordinated by the Communications Manager. The Communications Manager provides approved updates to Entergy Operations and Entergy employees through Entergy Information Center and the Customer Services Department.

Revision 30 A-3

2.0 OFFSITE SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS Entergy Operations has overall responsibility for establishing and implementing emergency planning. Entergy Operations has agreements with other organizations to provide offsite support to implement emergency actions. This section discusses the State, local, federal, and private sector organizations that are a part of the overall response organization. The following areas are discussed: 1) primary responsibilities of the various supporting organizations for emergency response; 2) the operational role of the various organizations; and 3) the interface of these organizations with the ANO emergency response staff and other organizations, as applicable.

2.1 ARKANSAS PRIMARY GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS Local and State government have the responsibility for implementation of the State and local emergency plans for the ten and fifty mile emergency planning zones. The general concept of operations used to insure the health and safety of the public is to carry out emergency actions at the lowest level of government having adequate resources to do so.

Under this concept it has been recognized that the local jurisdictions ordinarily will not have the capability for assessing the radiological impacts of an incident. This function is therefore performed by the State and ANO.

ANO provides offsite Protective Action Recommendations (PAR). The State has the capability to assess ANO's recommendations and issue protective action advisories to the public.

Local authorities implement initial logistical support activities in coping with emergencies and request relief from the next higher level of government or ANO if resources at that level prove inadequate.

The total offsite State of Arkansas radiological emergency response plan is composed of five county plans for Johnson, Logan, Yell, Conway, and Pope Counties, and the State Emergency Operations Plan. The interfaces between the state and county response plans are defined in Annex V of the State Emergency Operations Plan. Within this plan are provisions for warning and notification of local government and the public, radiological accident assessment, offsite Protective Action Advisories, and State resource assistance for local government. Annex V, being part of the State Emergency Operations Plan, interfaces with all emergency plans for State agencies with response roles in all types of emergencies. This allows considerable resources to become available to protect the public health and safety.

Revision 30 A-4

The Arkansas Department of Emergency Management coordinates requests for additional assistance to support the offsite emergency response and recovery efforts of State, county, and municipal agencies and departments as provided in the Arkansas Emergency Operations Plan. The Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) coordinates with ANO on assessment and provides advisories for the emergency precautions and recovery precautions needed to protect the general public. The five county response plans contain the mechanism for local government to implement the protective actions recommended. The plans for local governments follow the same format, modified to conform to the resource limitations of a given jurisdiction.

The responsibilities of the various participating agencies are described in this section. Interfaces between the Initial Response Staff, the Emergency Response Organization, and participating government agencies are shown in Figures B-3, B-8, and B-10.

2.1.1 Local Government The Arkansas Emergency Services Act 511 of 1973, as amended, requires the highest elected official of political subdivisions to be responsible for pre-emergency logistical planning and response actions to a radiological incident affecting the lives and property within their political jurisdictions. County Radiological Emergency Response Plans have been established for those counties within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone. Each county judge has appointed a local Emergency Services Coordinator to administer the emergency preparedness program.

Responsibilities of local governments include providing citizens of the affected area with protection to minimize adverse health effects and a plan of action for orderly response to an incident; specifying the means for immediate notification of the population at risk within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone; and upon receipt of notification that a radiological incident has occurred or is imminent, implementing the County Radiological Response Plan to a degree consistent with the magnitude of the incident.

Revision 30 A-5

The Technical Operations Control Director (TOCD) of the ADH acts as liaison between ANO and local officials. Upon notification of an emergency, the county officials activate the County Emergency Operations Center and implement the Radiological Emergency Response Plan as necessary. Local requests for additional assistance or equipment are coordinated through the TOCD with the Director of the State Department of Emergency Management. Examples of actions which can be taken by local officials upon the recommendation of the TOCD include:

a. Evacuation or sheltering of the public;
b. restriction of unnecessary movement of personnel into areas; and
c. discontinuance of use of contaminated food and water supplies.

ANO provides, upon request by the county, liaison personnel at each local Emergency Operations Center in Pope, Logan, Yell, Conway, and Johnson Counties.

2.1.2 State Government Ultimate responsibility for the welfare of citizens and continuity of government of the State of Arkansas rests with the Governor. Under the emergency management system of the State of Arkansas, authorized by the Arkansas Emergency Services Act and the ARKANSAS EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN which is published by directive of the Governor, each emergency function assigned to State and volunteer agencies requires that some agency assume primary responsibility for accomplishment of the task. In each instance, one or more other State agencies are assigned supporting roles to provide specialized assistance to the primary agency.

In keeping with the federal regulations and guidelines on which it is based, the responsibilities of "principal organization" for off-site radiological emergency response planning and preparedness in support of Arkansas Nuclear One are shared between two agencies:

Revision 30 A-6

a. The Arkansas Department of Health (ADH)

The ADH under State law has the primary responsibility for protecting the health and safety of the general public from radiological incidents. Therefore, it has the authority to recommend any precautions (such as evacuation or sheltering) which are required to protect the general public. Additionally, the ADH is responsible for the control of all agricultural products and agricultural production for the purpose of reducing the possible radiation health hazards.

Responsibilities of the ADH include providing personnel and equipment to the Radiological Response Team, as outlined in Chapter 4 of Annex V of the Arkansas Emergency Operations Plan; and, coordinating with the Offsite Monitoring Section of the ANO Emergency Radiation Team through the Radiological/Environmental Assessment Manager, or his designee, for sharing information regarding:

1. monitoring
2. decontamination
3. determination of magnitude of release and radiation levels
4. dose assessment The ADH coordinates the warning of, and communications with, the general public in affected areas.

Recommendation of precautionary actions to the public during and after an incident at Arkansas Nuclear One are made by the ADH. The ADH coordinates, to the extent possible, all information disseminated to the public regarding the severity and magnitude of an incident at Arkansas Nuclear One. The ADH is responsible for the initial notification and coordination of local services support to the public.

The individual with Emergency Direction and Control is responsible for the decision to notify the ADH and local officials of the declaration of an Emergency Class at Arkansas Nuclear One.

Revision 30 A-7

The ADH maintains a 24-hour communications center which receives the notification from ANO. Annex V of the State Emergency Operations Plan describes the activation of the State response organization and the interfaces and duties of these organizations.

Initial liaison during an incident at ANO is established through the Shift Manager and the ADH Technical Operations Control Director (TOCD) or their respective designees. Upon formal turnover, the Shift Manager transfers this responsibility to the TSC Director or EOF Director. Coordination of the response during a protracted incident at ANO is between the EOF Director and the Technical Operations Control Director or their respective designees. ANO recommendations are provided to the TOCD. The TOCD issues advisories to local government officials and activates the local broadcast stations and emergency warning systems as described in Annex V to the State Emergency Operations Plan as appropriate.

For a Notification of Unusual Event emergency class, the ADH may dispatch the State Radiological Response Team to the site.

For an Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency, the ADH dispatches the State Radiological Response Team to the site. Team members perform appropriate measurements and analyses in the vicinity of the site and the Accident Assessment Officer makes an assessment of the public health hazard. On the basis of that assessment, the team leader recommends implementation of protective actions as set forth in the State of Arkansas Emergency Operations Plan to the TOCD.

Revision 30 A-8

The Radiological/Environmental Assessment Manager is responsible for direct interfaces with the State Department of Health at the working level regarding radiological releases and radiological monitoring activities in the vicinity of ANO.

In accordance with Section H of the ANO Emergency Plan, designated ADH personnel collocate in the EOF with ANO personnel. As a result, a direct communications link is established in the EOF between ADH and ANO personnel during emergencies at ANO.

The Communications Manager, or his designee, coordinates press releases with the Arkansas Department of Health's Public Information Team. A Letter of Agreement between Entergy Operations, Inc. and the ADH is summarized in Appendix 1.

b. The State of Arkansas Department of Emergency Management The State of Arkansas Department of Emergency Management is responsible for coordinating requests for additional assistance in the event of an emergency situation at Arkansas Nuclear One.

Responsibilities of the Department of Emergency Management include coordinating requests for additional assistance to support the offsite emergency response and recovery efforts of State, county, and municipal agencies and departments as provided in the Arkansas Emergency Operations Plan; assuring mutual coordination with the Department of Health concerning an incident at Arkansas Nuclear One and providing backup communications to the ADH in accordance with procedures set forth in Annex V, Chapter 4 of the Arkansas Emergency Operations Plan; and assuring that the necessary/available State and local manpower and equipment as well as proper utilization of such resources provided to respond effectively to the situation.

B ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES Starting with the normal plant operating organization as a foundation, this section of the Emergency Plan describes the emergency organization at ANO. The Initial Response Staff (IRS), is augmented by the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) at an Alert, or higher, Emergency Class.

Responsibility for emergency direction and control (i.e., overall direction of the facility response which must include the non-delegable responsibilities for the decision to notify and to recommend protective actions to the Arkansas Department of Health personnel and other authorities responsible for offsite emergency measures) is normally transferred from the Shift Manager to the EOF Director. However, if the situation dictates, the TSC Director may relieve the Shift Manager. The transfer of responsibility only takes place when the individual relieving the Shift Manager is at his assigned location and has received a formal turnover.

1.0 NORMAL PLANT ORGANIZATION The normal plant organization is shown in Figure B-1. During normal weekday, day shift hours, this entire organization and its staff are typically available on site.

Outside normal weekday day shift hours the normal plant operating staff for Units 1 and 2 meets the minimum shift crew composition in the respective Technical Specifications for each unit and is supplemented by security personnel. The staff which is available to respond to the site within approximately 60 - 90 minutes is shown in Table B-1.

The Shift Manager for each unit is responsible for that unit and has the authority and responsibility for declaring an emergency at his unit in accordance with the guidelines in Section D of the Emergency Plan. Emergency situations which are not specific to a unit are the responsibility of the Shift Manager of the unit receiving the initial notification.

2.0 INITIAL RESPONSE STAFF The Initial Response Staff (IRS) has the capability to provide manpower and other resources to assist the normal plant organization within approximately 60 - 90 minutes if an emergency situation arises. The emergency duties of the normal plant staff are transferred to the Initial Response Staff as the corresponding members arrive on site.

If an emergency situation arises, the Shift Manager will activate the Initial Response Staff, as appropriate, to supplement the normal operating staff. Those members of the Initial Response Staff who are not on site at the time of the emergency will be able to augment the normal plant organization within approximately 60 - 90 of an emergency. Figure B-2 provides a diagram of the Initial Response Staff and their onsite interfaces.

Revision 30 B-1

Figure B-3 provides a diagram of the interfaces between the IRS and offsite response organizations. Modifications to the IRS may be made as necessary by the Shift Manager as required by the situation.

Following are general descriptions of the duties of IRS personnel. Duties are discussed in more detail in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

2.1 SHIFT MANAGER The Shift Manager has immediate responsibility for the unit to which he is assigned, and is responsible for recognizing and declaring the appropriate Emergency Class. Once an emergency classification is declared, the Shift Manager is responsible for activating and directing the Initial Response Staff to the extent required by the emergency and assuming emergency direction and control responsibilities until relieved of these duties through formal turnover. Once relieved, the Shift Manager's responsibilities are directed toward overseeing the operation of the unit.

Responsibilities of the Shift Manager (until relieved by the TSC Director or EOF Director) include the following:

a. Initiating activation of the Emergency Response Organization and coordinating turnover of responsibility from the IRS to the ERO;
b. Issuing instructions directly to the plant emergency response personnel/teams;
c. Authorizing, requesting and coordinating assistance from outside groups and Federal agencies as required;
d. Initiating notification of and establishing communications with local, State, and Federal officials; and
e. Approving offsite Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) provided to State and local officials and other appropriate offsite authorities.

The Shift Manager cannot delegate the responsibility to make decisions concerning notification of offsite authorities or the responsibility to make offsite Protective Action Recommendations. The Shift Manager transfers these responsibilities to the TSC Director or EOF Director through formal turnover after the TSC Director or EOF Director arrives at his assigned location.

Revision 30 B-2

2.2 SHIFT ENGINEER The primary duty of the Shift Engineer is to assist the Shift Manager in accident mitigation. There is a Shift Engineer assigned on a shift basis to each unit.

2.3 COMMUNICATOR At least one person per unit per shift is trained to coordinate communications to and from the affected unit's Control Room. This function is initially performed by the Shift Engineer of the unaffected unit.

2.4 PLANT EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAMS/GROUPS Members of the plant emergency response teams/groups are personnel assigned to the Arkansas Nuclear One staff. These personnel are trained in the respective procedures and practices which describe the performance of their duties as team/group members or leaders. The emergency teams/groups and brief descriptions of their functions are listed below. The plant emergency response team/group leaders initially report to the Shift Manager. Team/group leaders and alternates are selected from plant personnel and are assigned by the General Manager, Plant Operations. As required by the emergency conditions, the Shift Manager may temporarily assign other plant personnel to the emergency teams/groups to assist the regular team/group members during the emergency.

2.4.1 Staff Augmentation Group (SAG)

The capability exists to augment the on-shift staff through selective notification, depending upon the needs identified by the Shift Manager, or by the Computerized Notification System (CNS) if full ERO activation is necessary.

Stone and Webster 2-6 hours Combustion Engineering 24-48 hours Framatome Technologies 12-24 hours Revision 30 C-8

D EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM 1.0 CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM BACKGROUND The spectrum of possible emergency situations at Arkansas Nuclear One is categorized into the following Emergency Classes:

a. Notification of Unusual Event
b. Alert
c. Site Area Emergency
d. General Emergency The severity of the Emergency Classes increases in the order as they are listed above from a Notification of Unusual Event to a General Emergency. Since the severity of the emergency situation may change with time, an emergency situation may be reclassified from one Emergency Class to another. After the initial declaration of an Emergency Class, the individual responsible for Emergency Direction and Control performs a continuing assessment of the situation to determine whether the Emergency Class must be upgraded. Emergency Class Initiating Conditions, also referred to as Emergency Action Levels, are listed in Tables D-1 and D-2.

The rationale for the Notification of Unusual Event and Alert classes is to provide early and prompt notification of minor events which could lead to more serious consequences given operator error or equipment failure or which might be indicative of more serious conditions which are not yet fully realized. The Site Area Emergency Class reflects conditions where some significant releases are likely or are occurring, but where a core melt situation is not indicated based on current information. In this situation full mobilization of emergency personnel in the near site environs is indicated as well as dispatch of monitoring teams and associated communications. The General Emergency class involves actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for loss of containment integrity.

2.0 NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT Unusual events are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.

Revision 30 D-1

3.0 ALERT Events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.

4.0 SITE AREA EMERGENCY Events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except near the site boundary.

5.0 GENERAL EMERGENCY Events are in progress or have occurred which involves actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.

6.0 EMERGENCY CLASS CRITERIA Tables D-1 and D-2 provide examples of initiating conditions used to determine the Emergency Class. It is noted that most of the listed initiating conditions for the Notification of Unusual Event class are events that can be expected to be terminated quickly, and therefore, the notification process may occur after the event has already been corrected.

The examples of initiating conditions found under the various emergency classifications are intended as general guidelines. Examples represent the types of conditions that may be evaluated to determine the extent of emergency response initiated by the plant operating staff. However, whether the event is a Notification of Unusual Event, an Alert, a Site Area Emergency, or a General Emergency; there are many variables involved in going from plant instrument readings of a pre-accident situation to significant exposures to the public. Such readings may usefully serve as conservative criteria for determining when to mobilize various emergency organizations, but final decisions to notify and alert the public by the early warning siren system are the decisions of governmental officials.

Revision 30 D-2

In utilizing the emergency class criteria as the basis for initiating emergency response activity there may be instances when the plant operating staff cannot determine quickly which of two emergency classes is appropriate for a particular occurrence. In those cases, the occurrence should be treated as the higher of the emergency classes and the appropriate response for that class should be initiated.

7.0 DESIGN BASIS ACCIDENT EMERGENCY CLASSES A list of all radiological-related design basis accidents, addressed in Chapters 14 and 15, respectively, of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Safety Analysis Reports, along with their relationship with the Emergency Classes, is provided in Tables D-3 and D-4.

E NOTIFICATION METHODS AND PROCEDURES This section describes those methods which have been established for notification, by Entergy Operations, of State and local response organizations and for notification of the emergency personnel of all response organizations. The content of initial and follow-up messages to response organizations and the public are discussed. The means to provide early notification and clear instruction to the public within the affected areas are outlined.

More information on notification methods is provided by the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

1.0 NOTIFICATION Entergy Operations has established communications links among the ANO emergency response centers and between the ANO centers and Federal, State, and local emergency response organizations. The notification of response organizations is based on the response criteria developed for each emergency class as discussed in Section D, subsection 6.0. Detailed information on the ERO personnel contacted for each Emergency Class is provided in Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

Table F-1 shows the various communication links and the redundant communication equipment available to assure that communication channels are maintained. A description of the communications equipment is provided in Section H.2.

Initial notification is made to the State and local authorities within fifteen (15) minutes after declaring an emergency. Verification methods are used to authenticate messages to the State. The NRC is notified immediately following notification of State and local authorities and within one (1) hour of the declared emergency.

The Shift Manager and the Operations staff monitor the Control Room instruments and alarms for any changes in the plant conditions. Upon noticing any unusual or abnormal change, the Shift Manager determines if the change or event corresponds to one of the Emergency Class categories as defined by Tables D-1 or D-2. If the event or change corresponds to one of the Emergency Classes he takes further actions as described below. Abnormal events or changes at the power plant are brought to the attention of the Shift Manager of the affected unit by the plant personnel. Situations not unique to a specific unit are brought to the attention of either unit's Shift Manager.

Revision 30 E-1

1.1 NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT For a Notification of Unusual Event, the Shift Manager initiates notifications in accordance with Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. In general, notifications include the TSC Director, EOF Director, NRC, Arkansas Department of Health, local authorities, and site support personnel, as needed. Additional emergency response personnel are then contacted, as needed. The purpose of this Emergency Class is to provide current information on abnormal events to State and Federal governmental agencies and to test the communications links with offsite groups.

If the incident involves a fire, security, radiological, or medical emergency, the Fire Brigade, appropriate emergency response teams/groups, and local support services are notified in accordance with Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. These local support services may include the London Fire Department, the Pope County Sheriff, the Pope County Emergency Medical Service, the Primary Medical Facility, and Occupational Medical Consultants. These local support services activate other local services in their individual areas of support if additional support is required.

1.2 ALERT For an Alert, the individual with Emergency Direction and Control immediately initiates notifications in accordance with Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

The Arkansas Department of Emergency Management also activates its Emergency Operations Center upon Revision 30 E-3

notification and provides a Mobile Support Unit to the State Emergency Operations Center at Conway.

2.0 EMERGENCY MESSAGES The forms for messages sent from Arkansas Nuclear One to offsite agencies are included in ANO implementing procedures for the Emergency Plan and in attachments to the State of Arkansas Emergency Operations Plan, Annex V. These forms are utilized for both initial and follow-up messages. In general the message forms allow information pertinent to the Emergency Classes to be supplied to the off-site authorities in a consistent manner. Information provided to offsite response centers via these forms include: the class of the emergency; details of the onsite situation; radiological release data including meteorological parameters for making dose projections and determining affected populations; and recommendations of offsite protective actions.

3.0 EARLY WARNING SYSTEM The Early Warning System for the 10-mile radius Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around Arkansas Nuclear One consists of a mixture of sirens and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radios. The system is essentially designed to notify the individuals in the 10-mile EPZ within 15 minutes of the issuance of recommendations by the State of Arkansas for radiological emergencies at Arkansas Nuclear One.

Sirens are used to alert the more densely populated areas shown on Figure E-1.

The siren system is divided into five zones: Russellville, London, Dardanelle, Johnson County, and Logan County. Each of these zones can be activated independently or in conjunction with each other. The locations of the sirens were determined by field studies conducted by the siren manufacturer taking into account ambient noise measurements, terrain and rural and suburban areas. This system was designed considering the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Outdoor Warning Systems Guide (CPG-17) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's guidance presented in NUREG-0654. Tests of the Early Warning System are conducted by the Arkansas Department of Health.

The siren system is activated by radio signal. The primary activation point for the siren system is the Arkansas Department of Health office in Little Rock, Arkansas.

This office is manned 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day to accommodate day or night activation.

The secondary activation points for the siren system are located in the State Emergency Operations Facility at the ANO EOF and the Nuclear Planning and Response Program office.

Revision 30 E-4

The public is instructed in the Emergency Instructions Booklet to tune to local radio stations for emergency instructions when the sirens are activated. Local radio stations have the capability to broadcast emergency messages on a 24-hour basis to the general public.

For those residents of the 10-mile EPZ who live outside the siren coverage area, NOAA Weather Radios are made available. Additionally, these receivers are made available to the rural population, large businesses, hospitals, schools, and other applicable groups, within the 10-mile EPZ.

The NOAA radio program is administered by the Arkansas Department of Health's Nuclear Planning and Response Program staff and operated by the National Weather Service. The NP&RP staff issues radios to new residents in the 10 mile EPZ. Recipients of NOAA radios are tracked on a master list by the NP&RP staff and needed repair and/or replacement of NOAA radios identified as defective is also carried out by the NP&RP staff.

The National Weather Service is a 300-watt station, with a 125-watt backup transmitter, which broadcasts 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day to the 10-mile EPZ. Entergy Operations has provided backup generator capability for the transmitter site. A summary of the NWS agreement with Entergy Operations to cooperate as a part of the Early Warning System can be found in Appendix 1 of this Plan.

The NWS is contacted by the Arkansas Department of Health staff and informed of the intent to activate the Early Warning System. The NWS is notified in advance of the sirens being activated such that, in conjunction with the siren activation, the NWS activates the NOAA tone which automatically turns the receivers on. A loud tone is activated on the radio to alert the user. Following activation of the receivers, live or pre-recorded emergency messages are broadcast to instruct the public.

Supplemental notification to the EPZ population is provided by local fire departments in the EPZ. Also, in the event of siren or NOAA radio system failures, route alerting is provided by local fire departments in the EPZ.

Special provisions have been developed by the Nuclear Planning and Response Program and Entergy Operations for the alerting of identified handicapped individuals. These individuals, depending upon their handicap, are notified appropriately.

Activation of the system for emergencies not related to an incident at Arkansas Nuclear One is upon local government request.

Revision 30 E-5

4.0 PUBLIC WARNING MESSAGES The State of Arkansas has formulated messages which instruct the public with regard to specific protective actions to be taken by occupants of affected areas in the event of an incident at Arkansas Nuclear One. The messages are provided in Appendix 6 of this Plan and in attachments to the Arkansas Emergency Operations Plan, Annex V. ANO has established notification methods and provides information as discussed in Section E, subsection 2.0, which allows officials of the State of Arkansas to make decisions on the appropriate public warning messages which are broadcast via the local broadcast stations. The ANO staff reviews revisions and provides comments on the formulation of emergency messages, as necessary, so that the ANO Emergency Plan and Implementing Procedures remain consistent with the needs of the State of Arkansas in regard to public warning messages.

Type of Type of Radiation Detector Monitored Location GM Direct Radiation TSC Emergency Kit and Radioiodine Continuous Particulates and Hallway outside TSC air monitor gases

The estimated time of activation for either Technical Support Center is approximately 60 -

90 minutes.

Revision 30 H-1

1.3 OPERATIONAL SUPPORT CENTER An Operational Support Center (OSC) is provided in the ANO Maintenance Facility from which ANO personnel function to assist the Operations staff in the Control Room. It is used for assembling the plant emergency response teams and other ANO personnel. If it becomes necessary to evacuate the Operational Support Center due to radiation or other hazards, a secondary OSC is provided in the Emergency Operations Facility.

The OSC is activated at the Alert Emergency Class. The estimated time of activation for either Operational Support Center is approximately 60 - 90 minutes.

1.4 EMERGENCY OPERATIONS FACILITY The Emergency Operations Facility is located approximately 0.65 miles northeast of the Reactor Buildings. It serves as the alternate location for the Technical Support Center and the Operational Support Center should these centers be evacuated. The location of the Emergency Operations Facility and evacuation routes from the plant to the Emergency Operations Facility are shown in Figure J-4.

The EOF is normally staffed within approximately 60 - 90 minutes of the declaration of an Alert emergency class. The EOF is required to be staffed and operational within approximately 60 - 90 minutes of the declaration of a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency.

The Emergency Operations Facility also serves as the primary location for the following functions:

1) coordination between ANO and non-ANO groups, such as the Arkansas Department of Health;
2) an emergency news center for coordinating the release of information to the media;
3) a central point for coordinating all ANO offsite radiological monitoring activities at the time of an incident; and
4) the primary location for coordinating both technical and non-technical support activities of personnel brought in to assist ANO personnel.

Revision 30 H-2

The area designated as the Secondary Technical Support Center and Command Room is designed to the same radiological habitability as the Control Room. However, should the Emergency Operations Facility have to be evacuated, the Entergy Arkansas, Inc. District Office in Russellville serves as the alternate EOF. The estimated time to transfer from the primary to the Alternate Emergency Operations Facility is approximately 1-2 hours. A map showing the location of this facility is contained in Figure H-1. The layout of the alternate EOF is provided in an Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure.

1.5 FEDERAL GOVERNMENT EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER Depending on the severity of an incident at Arkansas Nuclear One, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission activates the NRC Operations Center in Rockville, Maryland and the Incident Response Center in Arlington, Texas. NRC personnel also arrive in the Russellville area.

Provisions have been made for NRC personnel to collocate with ANO personnel. NRC personnel may respond to the Control Room, the Technical Support Center, the Operational Support Center, and the Emergency Operations Facility.

1.6 STATE GOVERNMENT EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTERS State government emergency operations centers are established at the:

a. State Emergency Operations Center (EOC) located at the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management (DEM) in Conway.

Revision 30 H-4

2.0 COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS During an emergency, contact with offsite ANO personnel and with other agencies is made by any of several communication systems. Personnel on site are notified of the emergency by the public address system, the Computerized Notification System (CNS) and evacuation alarm systems when applicable. In addition, the Control Room, the Technical Support Center, the Operational Support Center, and the Emergency Operations Facility have radio communications with each other as well as with certain offsite support groups. Table F-1 and Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures identify the locations, and types of communications equipment available. Testing requirements for emergency communications systems are provided in Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

The communication systems available to ANO for use during an emergency consist of a mixture of: Commercial telephone system, Entergy telephone system, ANO plant phone system, GAI-tronics paging system, multichannel ultra high frequency (UHF) radio network, Pope County Sheriff radio network, State Department of Emergency Management radio, direct phone lines (ENS/HPN) to the NRC, hand-held two-way radios and pagers. Both the onsite and offsite (EOF) telephone systems are provided with backup power supplies from batteries and diesel generators.

The direct communication links available between the various centers involved in the response to an incident are shown in matrix form in Table F-1 of this Plan. In addition to these links, the capability exists to communicate indirectly between response centers by relaying information through several response centers.

2.1 COMMUNICATIONS WITHIN ENTERGY The primary means of communications between ANO facilities is the ANO phone system which consists of a mixture of private lines, microwave lines, and commercial telephone system lines. Entergy supplies and maintains its own telephone system for use by Entergy Operations at Arkansas Nuclear One. This system is independent from and does not require the support of commercial telephones for internal service. The GAI-Tronics paging system, a public address system, consists of four independent channels which connect with stations located throughout the plant and can be used to communicate with onsite plant personnel who cannot be reached by telephone.

Revision 30 H-5

The Entergy radio network is used by ANO personnel primarily for mobile communications and as a backup to the telephone system.

Arkansas Nuclear One is equipped with a multichannel two-way radio system. Each station, unless otherwise indicated, allows for radio communications over independent communication channels. The following units are contained in the system: 1) radio consoles (Unit One Control Room, Unit Two Control Room, Operational Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility, Entergy Arkansas, Inc.

Russellville office); 2) mobile units (ANO vehicles); and 3) portable (hand-held) units.

2.2 COMMUNICATIONS WITH GOVERNMENT AGENCIES The primary means of communication with the Federal government are the dedicated phone lines provided by the NRC (ENS, HPN, etc.)

through the ANO phone system and supplemented with the commercial telephone system. The primary means of communication with State and local groups is the commercial telephone system with the ADEM and Sheriffs Department radios as backup.

Control Room ENS phones are checked daily by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Communications with NRC, State government, and local governments within 10 miles of the power plant, are tested at least monthly. Communications between the plant, Federal, State, and local emergency operations centers and field assessment teams are tested annually. The Early Warning System for the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone is tested by the Arkansas Department of Health and the National Weather Service (NWS) periodically to ensure its readiness.

2.3 COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE MEDIA Communications with the media are normally made from the EOF. In the event of EOF evacuation, a backup media center may be activated at Entergy Arkansas, Inc. facilities in Little Rock.

Information will be transmitted to the media by Entergy Media Coordinators.

Revision 30 H-6

2.4 COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE PUBLIC The primary means of communications to the public is through the news media and State and local government. An early warning system is provided by ANO to alert the public surrounding Arkansas Nuclear One of offsite Protective Action Advisories. This system consists of a mixture of NOAA tone alert radios and sirens to alert the public to tune in to local radio stations for further instruction. The early warning system is activated by the Department of Health in accordance with Annex V of the Arkansas Emergency Operations Plan.

These devices may be supplemented by portable radiological monitoring devices and periodic sampling and laboratory analysis.

Revision 30 H-7

Process instrumentation (e.g., reactor coolant system pressure and temperature, containment pressure, liquid levels, flow rates, and status or lineup of equipment) may be used to monitor the status of the plant and detect unusual conditions. Instruments providing useful information on vital systems are discussed in Section I.

3.2 FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT FOR OFFSITE MONITORING The routine offsite environmental radiation monitoring program for Arkansas Nuclear One is described in the Environmental Report and in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) for the station.

Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD's) are distributed around the plant as shown on Figure J-5. These devices will provide a record of accumulated radiological exposures in the event of an accident.

For unusual or emergency situations, the routine offsite environmental radiation monitoring program may be supplemented by dispatching the Offsite Radiation Monitoring Section of the Emergency Radiation Team (see Section B.2) to perform additional offsite surveys, monitoring, and sampling. This effort may be supplemented by laboratory personnel from ANO and the designated laboratory. Offsite surveys, sampling, and analysis of water, vegetation, soil, and air are accomplished under the direction of the Offsite Monitoring Supervisor and the Nuclear Chemistry Manager.

Each field monitoring team has the capability to:

a. Perform direct radiation readings, and
b. Collect and analyze air samples.

Field monitoring teams may be utilized for environmental sampling when the team composition is augmented by personnel trained in environmental monitoring techniques.

The equipment available for use by these personnel includes vehicles, field monitoring kits, and two-way radios. Survey maps of the 10-mile EPZ (with preselected monitoring points) are available in each field kit. (See Figure J-21). The radios are used to allow the field monitoring team to communicate with the Offsite Monitoring Supervisor.

Revision 30 H-8

Emergency kits maintained by Arkansas Nuclear One are described in Appendix 4. These emergency kits are inventoried at least quarterly or more frequently if they are found unsealed or have been used during the quarter. There are sufficient reserves of instruments and equipment to replace those which are removed from emergency kits for calibration or repair. Calibration of equipment is performed at intervals determined by the manufacturer and the Entergy, Inc.

Calibration & Repair Facility. Intervals are based on equipment performance history.

Facilities for analysis of low-level environmental samples are available at the River Bend Nuclear Station, St. Francisville, LA. Samples may also be analyzed in the Arkansas Department of Healths mobile laboratory, if available. Analyses are performed in accordance with established procedures.

Field team data from State teams is coordinated through ADH personnel collocated at the ANO EOF. ANO and ADH field team data is compared and any differences resolved prior to its dissemination to the public.

4.0 PROTECTIVE FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT The response locations at Arkansas Nuclear One which are designed to serve a protective function are the Control Rooms. Specific protective features of the Control Rooms are described in the Final Safety Analysis Report for each unit. All other areas are evacuated if radiological levels warrant.

5.0 FIRST AID AND MEDICAL FACILITIES A Nurse's Station is maintained on site. A description of the type of equipment available in the Nurse's Station is contained in Appendix 4. The Primary Medical Facility is used as an offsite medical facility. A description of the type of equipment maintained by Arkansas Nuclear One at the Primary Medical Facility is contained in Appendix 4.

6.0 DAMAGE CONTROL EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES Fire fighting equipment on site includes portable extinguishers, hose stations, sprinkler systems, deluge systems, and fire hydrants. The Fire Protection System is described in detail in the Arkansas Nuclear One Fire Hazards Analysis.

Revision 30 H-9

I ACCIDENT ASSESSMENT 1.0 ACCIDENT ASSESSMENT

SUMMARY

Accident assessment consists of initial assessment activities and long-term assessment activities. At the first indication of abnormal conditions, initial assessments are performed. Actions are taken by the onsite plant staff to declare the Emergency Class, mitigate the conditions, make dose projections, and initiate the appropriate emergency response. When notified that an abnormal condition exists, the Shift Manager is responsible for making the immediate assessments, classifying the event, and initiating notification. The initial dose assessments for onsite and offsite personnel are evaluated and the recommended protective actions are promptly implemented in accordance with Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. Initial assessment and projected dose data and offsite Protective Action Recommendations are provided to Federal, State, and local agencies.

If the situation dictates, the Shift Manager may activate the Emergency Response Organization. When activated, Emergency Response Organization personnel perform accident assessment activities and appropriate offsite Protective Action Recommendations are determined by the TSC Director or EOF Director. This information is provided to the appropriate agencies by the TSC Director or EOF Director.

The long-term or continuing accident assessment is performed by the ERO. The ERO formulates protective responses; implements long-term offsite monitoring (radiological data gathered from the plume exposure pathway is analyzed and communicated to the ERO for further projected actual and integrated dose assessment); and the EOF Director approves recommendations of protective actions. Monitoring teams systematically monitor the onsite and offsite environs using the functional plant instrumentation and portable instruments, as necessary.

Assessment continues for the duration of the recovery. Federal, State, and local emergency organizations are notified for assistance as required. The radiological assessment procedures for use by the ERO are in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

The general criteria described in Section D are used to define the four Emergency Classes for emergency planning purposes. The initiating conditions are shown in Tables D-1 and D-2. The initiating conditions listed in Tables D-1 and D-2 are incorporated into the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures, along with plant specific indicators, to assist the person responsible for Emergency Direction and Control in recognizing and declaring the appropriate Emergency Class. The instrumentation available to the Shift Manager to perform this assessment is described in this section and in the Safety Analysis Report for each unit.

Revision 30 I-1

Tables D-3 and D-4 categorize each design basis accident considered in the Safety Analysis Report for each unit into the four Emergency Classes based upon their postulated consequences. It should be noted that, should any of these design basis accidents occur, the category they would be placed in at that time would depend on the actual consequences (Tables D-1 and D-2) rather than on the postulated consequences used to develop Tables D-3 and D-4.

2.0 ASSESSMENT CAPABILITIES 2.1 RESOURCES FOR DETECTION/ASSESSMENT OF NON-RADIOLOGICAL EVENTS 2.1.1 Fire Detection The Fire Detection System is described in Sections 9.8 and Appendix 9D of the Unit 1 Safety Analysis Report (SAR) and Sections 9.5 and Appendix 9D of the Unit 2 SAR.

2.1.2 Seismic Monitoring Plant seismic instrumentation, described in ANO-1 and ANO-2 SAR Sections 2.7 and 3.7.4, respectively, is provided to determine the response of the containment and auxiliary building structures in the event of an earthquake so that such response can be compared with that used as the basis of design.

Should a seismic disturbance occur in the neighborhood of the plant, the accelerations recorded within the plant will be the basis for a decision as to continued plant operation.

Information on seismic activity can also be obtained from the Tennessee Earthquake Information Center and the National Earthquake Information Center.

2.1.3 River Level Detection The Lake Dardanelle level indication is monitored at the Lake Dardanelle Dam by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps of Engineers has agreed to notify ANO of probable or actual level changes that will lower the lake below Elevation 335 ft. or raise the lake above Elevation 350 ft. at the ANO site. The letter of agreement is included in Appendix 1.

Revision 30 I-2

2.2 RESOURCES FOR DETECTION/ASSESSMENT OF RADIOLOGICAL RELEASES 2.2.1 Plant Process Instrumentation The plant process instrumentation consists of various pressure, temperature, and level indicators of the Reactor Protection System (RPS) and the Engineered Safeguards System (ESF).

Some of the parameters these instruments measure are:

a. Containment Pressure
b. Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) Actuation
c. Pressurizer Pressure
d. Steam Generator Pressure
e. Reactor Coolant (RC) Temperature
f. Pressurizer Level
g. Steam Generator Level Instruments which provide information to the reactor operators for monitoring conditions in the reactor, reactor coolant system, and containment; and specific instrumentation designations and ranges are listed in each unit's Technical Specifications. The alarm and trip setpoints for the listed instruments or components are subject to change as the reactor core configuration changes.

These various instruments or components are used to detect problems within the system(s) prior to a release of radioactivity as well as monitor system status throughout an incident. Corrective actions to return or maintain the reactor in a safe condition are contained in the Emergency Operations Procedures maintained in the Control Room.

2.2.2 Radiation Monitor for Failed Fuel Detection A monitor in the letdown line of each unit is the designated process radiation monitor which continuously measures the activity of the reactor coolant and activates an alarm in the Control Room if a predetermined activity level is reached. The monitor is described in SAR Section 11.1 and 11.4.2.1.1 for Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively.

Revision 30 I-3

2.2.3 Radiation Monitoring ANO has an extensive system for monitoring radioactivity throughout the plant, called the Radiation Monitoring System (RMS). This system consists of area and process/effluent radiological instrumentation. The Area Radiation Monitoring Systems are described in SAR Sections 11.2.5 and 12.1.4 for Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively. The Process Radiation Monitoring Systems are described in SAR Sections 11.1.3.4 and 11.4 for Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively. All channels of the radiation monitoring system indicate, record, and alarm in the Control Room.

The area radiation monitors, process/effluent radiation monitors and SPING monitors which are used to classify and assess radiological conditions are listed in Tables I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, and I-5.

Different types of portable survey instruments have been selected to cover the entire spectrum of radiation measurement. Portable survey and monitoring instruments are described in SAR Sections 11.2.6.2.5 and 12.3.2.5 for Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively. This includes instruments for detecting and measuring alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron radiation. Sufficient quantities have been obtained to allow for calibration, maintenance and repair. Laboratory counting equipment is described in SAR Sections 11.2.6.2.2 and 12.3.2.2 for Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively.

a. Process Radiation Monitoring Systems (Units 1 and 2)
1. Design Bases All process systems which contribute to plant discharges are monitored prior to entering the various discharge systems. Each discharge system is also monitored providing redundancy of radiation detection for plant effluents. The Reactor Building air, waste gas, and the main condenser air discharge radiation monitoring systems are backed up by the stack gas monitoring system. The service water, radwaste liquid discharge, intermediate cooling, and decay heat radiation monitoring systems are backed up by the liquid discharge monitoring system.

Revision 30 I-4

2. System Description

The process radiation monitoring systems are designed to assure that ionizing radiation levels are indicated, recorded, and alarmed so that action, either automatic or manual, can be taken to prevent radioactive releases from exceeding the limits of 10 CFR 20. Devices are located in the various process systems to monitor radiation levels and annunciate any abnormally high activity.

All electronic circuitry (except for photomultipliers and geiger tubes) is solid state and each circuit has its own D.C. power supply and provisions for instrument operational testing while in service.

Most monitors are supplied with check sources.

The check source simulates a radioactive sample and serves as a check for both the readout and detection equipment. The Control Room inlet air monitor is provided with a pulsed LED which provides an identical detector response as an isotopic check source and is used for the detector, preamplifier and readout equipment for this system.

Radiation monitoring equipment panels are located inside each Control Room. These panels provide mounting for indicators, recorders, power supplies, and alarms for the radiation monitoring systems. The radiation monitoring panels are fed by the instrument AC bus which, in the event of a loss of normal power, is fed by the diesel generator bus.

3. Testing and Maintenance Process radiation monitoring system instruments are tested as required by procedures using built-in or portable calibration sources.

Revision 30 I-5

Testing and maintenance for all systems and circuit testing of readout equipment and power supplies can be performed from the panels located in the Control Room. The circuit being tested or repaired indicates and alarms this condition in the Control Room. Faulty or inoperative circuits during operation are also alarmed and indicated in this manner.

b. Area Radiation Monitoring Systems (Units 1 and 2)
1. Design Bases This system consists of monitors, instrumentation, and alarms that serve to warn plant personnel of set radiation levels in various plant areas. The area radiation monitoring systems serve as an early warning of a plant malfunction which may result in increasing radiation levels and in a health hazard. Area radiation monitoring system instruments and detectors (chosen for their proven reliability, spare parts and portability) are provided to permit operation during a long-term response.
2. System Description Continuous monitoring points are located in the Control Room and other normally nonradioactive areas and at the appropriate access control boundaries. The locations of area radiation monitors are provided in each unit's SAR.

Readout and display equipment for the area radiation monitoring system are located on a panel in the unit's Control Room. The area radiation monitoring panels receive power from the instrument AC bus, which is a vital bus.

High range detectors (Geiger-Muller tubes) are located in the Unit 1 and Unit 2 containments.

The detectors provide an indication of containment radiation levels up to 1x108R/hr.

Revision 30 I-6

The low-range area radiation monitors are wall-mounted, coaxial ion chambers or wall-mounted gamma sensitive Geiger-Muller tubes. The associated meters are designed with range and sensitivity suitable for their location. High radiation levels and individual circuit failures are alarmed both visually and audibly on the area radiation monitoring panel.

3. Testing and Maintenance Area radiation monitoring system instruments are tested as required by procedures using built-in or portable calibration sources.

Circuit testing of readout equipment and the power source can be performed from the Control Room. The circuit being tested or repaired is inoperative during this time and acts as a tripped channel. Check sources are used to calibrate the detectors and circuits.

c. In-Plant Portable Survey and Monitoring Instruments Portable radiation survey instrumentation consists of different types of instruments, as described in the SAR, capable of detecting and measuring alpha, beta, gamma and neutron radiation. Continuous air monitors capable of monitoring and recording particulate and gaseous activity are available to identify airborne radioactivity. These monitors can be set to alarm on high particulate or gaseous activity. Gaseous activities of 1x10-7µCi/cc can be detected in low background areas.

When continuous air monitors indicate airborne radioactivity, portable air samplers are used to obtain grab air samples for timely analysis of airborne conditions. These samplers can be equipped with filter cartridges for collecting gaseous and iodine airborne concentrations for analysis.

Revision 30 I-7

d. Laboratory Counting Equipment Laboratory counting equipment includes internal gas flow proportional counter scalers, thin window GM counter scalers, and gamma spectroscopy equipment.

2.2.4 Meteorological Instrumentation The plant has a permanent 60-meter high meteorological tower with redundant power supply, instrumentation and modes of data output. The tower instrumentation includes sensors to measure wind direction, wind speed, air temperature and differential temperatures. The wind and temperature sensors are located at the 10-meter and the 57-meter levels. Meteorological instrumentation is described in Section 2.3 of both the Unit 1 and Unit 2 SARs.

Forecasted wind speed and direction data may also be obtained from Weather Service International or the National Weather Service by telephone as described in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

Real-time data is available by use of the Radiological Dose Assessment Computer System (RDACS) computer. The offsite NRC Response Center may obtain these parameters by calling the Control Room or Emergency Operations Facility. Other offsite transmittal of data will be by radio or telephone circuits.

Meteorological data is made available to State and local agencies through their dedicated communications network.

2.2.5 Water Analyses Analyses of plant liquid systems may be performed to help ascertain the nature of problems detected by other instrumentation (prior to an emergency situation). The samples are collected and analyzed in accordance with ANO procedures. The analysis performed may include both standard chemistry (i.e., chlorides, boron, etc.) and radiochemistry.

Revision 30 I-8

2.2.6 Post Accident Sampling Post-accident sampling via the Normal Sample System (NSS) provides the capability to obtain Reactor Coolant System (RCS) samples for isotopic determinations up to 5% clad failure.

These analyses are primarily used to determine EAL criteria.

Sampling above 5% clad failure may be performed but conditions and precautions will be assessed by Radiation Protection prior to sampling. The NSS has the capability of sampling the RCS from several RCS sample points.

2.2.7 Radiological Dose Assessment Computer System (RDACS)

The Radiological Dose Assessment Computer System (RDACS) provides an initial estimate of the radiological conditions at the ANO Exclusion Area Boundary, provides information to determine the Emergency Action Level for subsequent classification into one of the four Emergency Classes, defines the offsite area(s) potentially affected by an airborne radiological release, provides an estimate of the Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) and Child Thyroid Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) dose rates, formulates protective action recommendations, and refines projections based on available field monitoring data. This system meets the intent of 10CFR20 and Appendix I to 10CFR50 using the methods recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.21, 1.109, 1.111, NUREG-0472 and NUREG-0133.

2.2.8 Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS)

The function of the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) is to continuously provide concise displays of critical plant parameters to the control room operators to aid them in rapidly and reliably determining the safety status of the plant.

The system is especially useful during abnormal and emergency conditions to assess whether the conditions warrant corrective action by the operators to avoid a degraded core. SPDS data display systems are also located in the Technical Support Center and in the Emergency Operations Facility.

Revision 30 I-9

2.2.9 Emergency Response Data System (ERDS)

The Emergency Response Data System (ERDS) is a channel over which raw reactor parametric data, i.e., SPDS information, is transmitted from the site to the NRC Operations Center, (NRCOC). This system is activated from the RDACS terminal located in the Control Room or TSC and should be activated with-in one hour of an ALERT or higher emergency class declaration.

2.3 RADIATION TEAM MONITORING 2.3.1 Operation of Monitoring Teams The primary objective of the onsite and offsite emergency monitoring teams is to rapidly survey areas in order to determine the extent and magnitude of any unplanned release of radioactive material following an incident. The initial onsite and offsite surveys are of great importance; decisions regarding the extent and the type(s) of protective action(s) required are based upon data reported by the survey teams.

If it is determined that unplanned airborne materials have been released following an accident, monitoring teams are dispatched downwind immediately to evaluate radioactivity levels.

The task of each monitoring team is to collect air samples and survey data and transmit information and results to the appropriate response center (i.e., Control Room, TSC, OSC or EOF). Meteorological overlays, area maps, and actual radiation survey data collected by onsite and offsite survey teams are available for use to rapidly define affected areas and assess the extent and significance of the release.

Information is required with as little delay as possible.

Therefore, surveys consist of simple methods and approximate results. Information obtained by the Offsite Monitoring Section is transmitted to the Dose Assessment Supervisor, Radiological/Environmental Assessment Manager, or their designees, as appropriate to the phase of the response, via radio contact. After the initial urgency of the post accident situation has relaxed, subsequent surveys are continued to obtain more accurate information.

Revision 30 I-10

2.3.2 Personnel

a. Onsite Monitoring Section The Onsite Monitoring Section consists of members of the Emergency Radiation Team. Their activities are coordinated initially by the Shift Manager and then by the Health Physics Supervisor. The Onsite Monitoring Team focuses their attention on obtaining onsite radiological data. Duties of the Onsite Monitoring Team are outlined in Section B.2.0
b. Offsite Monitoring Section The Offsite Monitoring Section consists of members of the Emergency Radiation Team. The Offsite Monitoring Section performs air sampling and measures radiation levels in the outlying areas of the plant site. Their activities are directed by the Offsite Monitoring Supervisor. Survey results are forwarded to the Dose Assessment Supervisor. Duties of the Offsite Monitoring Section are further detailed in Section B.2.

ANO Nuclear Chemistry personnel collect samples of water, vegetation, soil, and air and the environmental TLD's for analysis in accordance with ANO procedures.

2.3.3 Equipment Appendix 4 of this Plan lists the emergency kit contents and their locations.

Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures describe the equipment utilized by the monitoring teams in more detail.

Portable equipment capable of measuring gaseous activities of 1x1010 µCi/cc are included in field monitoring kits.

Revision 30 I-11

3.0 ASSESSMENT OF RADIOLOGICAL RELEASES 3.1 METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Systems, equipment, instruments, and personnel resources available to the Initial Response Staff, and Emergency Response Organization allow for continuous monitoring and assessment of abnormal radiological conditions.

Assessment of radioactivity released to the environs provides the information necessary to determine which, if any, offsite protective actions should be recommended to the State authorities. These recommendations are made in accordance with Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. The methods and calculations prepared for the assessment of radioactivity released to the environs are discussed in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

Revision 30 I-23

J PROTECTIVE RESPONSE 1.0 PROTECTIVE RESPONSE FOR ONSITE PERSONNEL 1.1 NOTIFICATION Onsite personnel are notified of a nuclear emergency via the ANO Public Address System. The Shift Manager, or his designee, will announce the emergency classification and any other pertinent information. The announcements to be made are identified in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

Persons within the protected area are notified of plant emergency status via the Public Address System. Notification to persons within the exclusion area is accomplished by Security. Evacuation of non-essential personnel within the exclusion area may be initiated for a Site Area Emergency and will be initiated for a General Emergency in accordance with EPIPs. The sounding of the plant evacuation alarm occurs for both classifications.

1.2 LOCALIZED EVACUATION A Localized Evacuation is initiated if any condition exists that, in the opinion of the Shift Manager or TSC Director, may pose a threat to the health and safety of plant workers. The threat must be confined to a localized area (i.e., the area selected for evacuation should have well-defined boundaries and be easily controllable).

1.3 PLANT EVACUATION A Plant Evacuation is performed for non-essential personnel if a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency is declared. However, certain conditions may preclude or delay plant evacuation. These conditions may include an ongoing security threat within the protected area, inclement weather, or a radiological or hazardous material condition. A plant evacuation may be considered if HP survey results indicate that the general area radiation levels outside of a Radiologically Controlled Area exceed 2.5 mrem/hr, if air sample results indicate unevaluated airborne radioactivity exceeds 9X10-10 µCi/cc, which is attributed to a loss of control of radioactive material and the threat cannot be confined to a well-defined area, or if an uncontrolled toxic gas leak where the hazard is not confined to a local area. The decision to evacuate is based upon the action that presents the least risk to non-essential personnel.

Revision 30 J-1

Upon verification that conditions warrant a Plant Evacuation, the Shift Manager or TSC Director immediately notifies plant emergency teams to assemble. The Shift Manager or TSC Director alternates an evacuation announcement over the public address system and the sounding of the Plant Evacuation Alarm several times. The evacuation announcement includes instructions concerning the appropriate assembly area, the evacuation route(s), and any other special protective measures to be taken by plant evacuees. Appropriate actions are described in detail in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. The following personnel actions are taken if a Plant Evacuation is declared:

1.3.1 Visitors, Contractor and Construction Personnel, and Employees Not Assigned a Role in the Emergency Organization These personnel proceed to either guard station by the most direct, safest route. Personnel accountability and preliminary monitoring is accomplished as personnel pass through the guard station. These personnel then proceed as directed. As required, additional personnel monitoring, decontamination, and debriefing may be performed at the EOF.

1.3.2 Personnel Assigned a Role in the Emergency Organization These personnel proceed to their assigned emergency response location. If conditions require that the Technical Support Center or Operational Support Center be evacuated, these personnel relocate to the EOF.

1.3.3 Shift Personnel Shift operations personnel on duty report to the Control Room.

Other shift personnel proceed to the OSC assembly area unless otherwise directed.

1.4 EXCLUSION AREA EVACUATION An Exclusion Area Evacuation, which is the orderly withdrawal of all personnel from that portion of the exclusion area affected by the emergency, is initiated if it is determined that area radiation levels greater than 2.5 mrem/hr exist outside the Protected Area and within the Exclusion Area boundary.

Revision 30 J-2

The following personnel actions are taken in the event of an Exclusion Area Evacuation:

a. When notified that an Exclusion Area Evacuation has been declared, Security personnel take action according to established procedures to verify that an orderly, safe withdrawal of personnel within the affected portion of the Exclusion Area takes place. Security personnel are responsible for personnel notification and accountability within the Exclusion Area. Under most conditions, the Exclusion Area can be evacuated/verified within one hour of the declaration of an evacuation. Thereafter, Security patrols the Exclusion Area every two hours to notify anyone found within the area to leave.
b. Personnel evacuating from the affected areas of the Exclusion Area follow designated evacuation routes under the supervision of Security personnel while on site. Once offsite, personnel proceed as directed by State and local authorities. Portable loudspeakers and the Arkansas Nuclear One boat are used by Security, as required, to direct the evacuation of the Exclusion Area. Evacuees use any available means of transportation and proceed as directed by the evacuation announcement.

1.5 EOF EVACUATION An EOF Evacuation is initiated if any condition exists which, in the opinion of the EOF Director, poses a threat to the health and safety of emergency response personnel at the EOF. EOF emergency response personnel relocate to the alternate EOF in the Entergy Arkansas, Inc. Russellville office, if conditions allow.

Revision 30 J-3

1.6 SECURITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY 1.6.1 Security The security program at ANO is designed to deter, delay, and detect an intruder. The Security Area of the plant site is enclosed by an eight-foot security fence topped by three strands of barbed wire. All gates to the fence are normally kept locked. Security procedures outline the emergency evacuation duties of security personnel. Support group personnel reporting to the plant during an emergency assemble as discussed in security procedures unless instructed otherwise. Personnel assigned by the Shift Manager, TSC Director, or EOF Director to enter the plant must pass through the main gates which are guarded. It is extremely unlikely that any unauthorized person would be able to enter the site undetected even during an emergency condition.

1.6.2 Accountability A record of Arkansas Nuclear One personnel and visitors on site is available at the Main Guard Station or the Secondary Guard Station for use in personnel accountability. Security procedures have been developed to ensure that on-site personnel are accounted for in the event of an emergency. If necessary, initial accountability may be performed at any time.

It is ANO's goal to achieve initial accountability within 30 minutes of the declaration of a Site Area or General Emergency, or plant evacuation. In the event of an emergency requiring evacuation of the Main Guard Station or the Secondary Guard Station, the personnel accountability records are transferred to the EOF.

Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures are used to account for personnel during an evacuation. Personnel exiting the site log out through the security card reader. Names of evacuating persons who do not have permanent security badges are obtained. Emergency Response Organization personnel remaining on-site log in at any security card reader for accountability purposes. Security personnel then request a computer print-out of any personnel who failed to either log off-site or log on-site for accountability purposes. Search and rescue efforts are then initiated for these individuals.

Revision 30 J-4

Following a plant evacuation, continuous accountability is maintained for all persons remaining on-site.

Reentry into the plant is made under an Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure related to personnel rescue or reentry to evacuated areas.

1.7 PROTECTIVE MEASURES 1.7.1 Whole Body Exposure It is the policy at ANO to maintain personnel radiation exposure at levels which are as low as is reasonably achievable and in compliance with NRC regulations. Personnel entering the evacuated area(s) to conduct investigations are supplied with appropriate monitoring devices, and every effort is made to keep their doses within the limits of 10CFR20.

Reentry is made in accordance with an Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure.

Individuals entering Radiologically Controlled Areas wear personnel monitoring devices capable of measuring the dose received from external sources of ionizing radiation. The official and permanent record of accumulated deep dose equivalent is normally obtained from a TLD badge. The self-reading dosimeter provides a day to day indication of deep dose equivalent.

Additional personnel monitoring equipment is available in the emergency kits as identified in Appendix 4.

1.7.2 Clothing Protective clothing is a normal use item for work in a contaminated area at Arkansas Nuclear One. Both washable and disposable protective clothing are available. Sets of protective clothing are available in the following emergency kits as described in Appendix 4: Control Room Kit, Onsite Radiological Monitoring Kit, EOF Kit, TSC Kit, and Hospital Kit.

Protective clothing is available in the Auxiliary Building.

Waterproof protective clothing is also available.

Revision 30 J-5

1.7.3 Respiratory Protection Respiratory protection devices may be required in any situation arising from plant operations where an airborne radioactivity condition exists or potentially exists. In such cases, the air is monitored and the necessary protective devices specified according to the concentration and type of airborne contaminants present. During an emergency, monitoring is conducted in accordance with HP Procedures.

Precautions are taken to keep airborne contamination to a minimum through the use of proper ventilation and prior decontamination of equipment or work areas.

Listed below are the types of respiratory protection equipment available:

a. Full face and demand type respirator
b. Pressure demand Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)

Normally, SCBAs are issued at the Controlled Access entry.

The following is a listing of the emergency kits containing SCBAs:

Emergency Kit Control Room Kit Onsite Radiological Monitoring Kit Fire Locker A Fire Locker B Fire Locker C Fire Locker D Emergency Operations Facility Revision 30 J-6

1.7.4 Radioprotective Drugs Radioprotective drugs in the form of potassium iodide (KI) tablets are available in the onsite Radiological Monitoring Kit, TSC Kit, EOF Kit and in the Field Monitoring Kits. The use of potassium iodide is in accordance with Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

1.7.5 Contamination Controls Section K of this Plan outlines the radiological exposure controls implemented at ANO. Contamination control, personnel monitoring, and decontamination are detailed in Sections K.2.2 and K.3.1.

2.0 PROTECTIVE RESPONSE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE PLUME EXPOSURE PATHWAY 2.1 PROTECTIVE ACTION RECOMMENDATIONS 2.1.1 ANO Guidelines Arkansas Nuclear One is designed and equipped with a series of safety systems engineered to meet 10CFR100 criteria for reactor safety. ANO management recognizes that in any accident situation, it would be prudent and logical to make every effort to further reduce and minimize dose to the public.

The protective action guides for the general population for thyroid dose due to inhalation from a passing plume and whole body exposure to airborne radioactive material, as recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),

are listed below:

Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) 1 Rem Child Thyroid Dose (CDE) 5 Rem Revision 30 J-7

2.1.2 Initiation of Recommendation Recommendations originate from the Control Room, TSC, or Emergency Operations Facility based upon data derived from implementing procedures relating to offsite dose assessment.

The procedures establish methods for determining projected dose to the population at risk. Total population exposure is estimated in accordance with Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

Recommendations are made in accordance with agreements with the Arkansas Department of Health. Whenever possible, the message formats provided in procedures are utilized. The implementing procedures relating to Protective Action Guidelines assure that the recommendations are determined through an approved process. Offsite Protective Action Recommendations are approved by the individual responsible for Emergency Direction and Control.

2.1.3 Population Distribution This Emergency Plan is primarily applicable to the Arkansas Nuclear One Exclusion Area and the Emergency Planning Zones within a 10-mile and 50-mile radius of Arkansas Nuclear One as shown on Figures J-1, J-2, and J-3, respectively, although provisions exist for extending these areas in the unlikely event this coverage is necessary. Figure J-2 is divided into sixteen 221/2-degree sectors and ten lettered radial zones at one-mile radii from the center of the plant in order to identify the area surrounding the plant by sector and zone nomenclature. Figure J-4 depicts the location of the Arkansas Nuclear One Emergency Operations Facility and the site evacuation routes. The location of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) in the area surrounding the plant is provided in Figure J-5 and J-5A. The projected population distributions for 1970 through 2016 within ten miles and fifty miles of Arkansas Nuclear One are shown in Figures J-6 through J-19.

Revision 30 J-8

2.2 NOTIFICATION If public notification is required, both transient and resident populations within the plume exposure pathway are initially notified through the Early Warning System (reference Section E 3.0). Additional notification and information is provided to the transient and resident population as well as the general public outside the 10-mile EPZ by local radio stations.

Supplemental notification to the EPZ population is provided by local fire departments in the EPZ. Also, in the event of siren or NOAA radio system failures, route alerting is provided by local fire departments in the EPZ.

Emergency Instruction Brochures describing notification, protective actions, and general radiological education are provided by mail to residents and businesses, and by posting in public areas to transients within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone. State and local government officials issue messages describing the incident and recommended public protective actions. Examples of these messages are provided in Appendix 6.

2.3 EVACUATION The Arkansas Department of Health is responsible for the recommendation of protective actions for offsite areas and notification of State and local assistance agencies. State officials consider the potential risks of implementing protective actions against the reduction of radiological risk achieved by the protective action.

The State of Arkansas Department of Health determined in conjunction with local officials that, based on the existing local warning and notification systems, experience in actual evacuation situations, and ambulance response times, the offsite area within distances up to ten (10) miles of Arkansas Nuclear One could be evacuated within the estimated evacuation times indicated in Table J-1. Population distribution by evacuation zone is shown on Figure J-20.

A formal evacuation time estimate was completed in December of 2002.

The results of this study are contained in Appendix 5.

Under these estimates and other considerations involved in the protection of the public, the State of Arkansas has developed protective action guides for the public which are included in the State Emergency Operations Plan and are summarized below:

Revision 30 J-9

A variety of parameters, including plant conditions and actual offsite doses, may result in a recommendation to evacuate all or part of the EPZ. (Based upon an evaluation of the potential risks of evacuation versus the reduction of radiological risk achieved by the evacuation, some institutional groups may be recommended to shelter personnel and/or use radioprotective drugs.)

Further protective action is recommended based upon an evaluation of data received from field radiological assessment teams.

Offsite protective actions may be appropriate for emergency situations which fall in the Site Area Emergency or General Emergency Classes. In order that the public may be in a state of readiness for any necessary action, an Early Warning System has been installed and may be activated at any Emergency Class as determined appropriate by the State. The Early Warning System is described in Section E.

2.4 SHELTERING Under certain conditions, sheltering may be the preferred recommended action. As discussed in the ANO Emergency Instruction Brochure, sheltering involves remaining inside with windows and doors closed and sources of outside air turned off. Limited radioactive releases may require this type of action.

Members of the public may also be requested to stay indoors. Staying indoors is similar to sheltering except there is no need to close windows and doors and secure sources of outside air.

Area radio stations advise the public on taking these actions and also give the "all clear" signal when appropriate.

2.5 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING In the event of an emergency, permanent air sampling stations are utilized for long-term evaluation concerning airborne releases. Environmental TLDs located at the background radiation stations, as shown on Figure J-5 and J-5A, provide exposure data and are periodically replaced. Sampling efforts may be combined with emergency team activities.

Figures J-21 and J-22 show pre-selected radiological environmental sampling points within the 10-mile EPZ.

K RADIOLOGICAL DOSE CONTROL 1.0 DOSE GUIDELINES Radiation dose control is of utmost importance at Arkansas Nuclear One.

Therefore, it is deemed appropriate that detailed radiation protection measures be established and utilized. These measures are included in Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures, Radiation Protection Procedures and/or Health Physics Procedures, as appropriate. A description of applicable radiation control measures follows.

1.1 DOSE LIMITS ANO Radiation Protection Procedures provide the specific actions undertaken to determine and record individual occupational doses on a 24-hour per day basis. These procedures state that each emergency responder entering a radiologically controlled area shall be issued appropriate personnel monitoring devices consisting of one or more of the following types:

thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD), self-reading pocket dosimeter, neutron badges and extremity dosimetry devices. The Radiation Protection and Radwaste Manager is responsible for ensuring that all personnel (employees, vendors, contractors, and visitors) are appropriately monitored for exposure to ionizing radiation at ANO.

Allowable emergency doses and accidental doses to individuals have been established. Table K-1 outlines ANO's permissible emergency dose limits.

Restrictions to further exposure are placed on exposed individuals, if necessary.

To determine accumulative doses, any TLDs of individuals exposed to radiation prior to the event are read and added to the emergency events doses promptly.

In all cases and events, administrative control and restriction of dose to radiation is monitored by the Radiation Protection and Radwaste Manager and the Health Physics staff.

EPA-400, "Manual Of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents", Table 2.2, is used to establish additional dose guidelines for life saving actions and protection of property. These guidelines are described in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

Revision 30 K-1

All requests for increasing radiation doses for emergency workers above administrative limits are directed to the Shift Manager, TSC Director or EOF Director. These individuals have the authority in emergency situations to authorize emergency workers to receive doses in excess of 10CFR20 limits.

After ERO activation, the TSC Director will typically assume the responsibility for approving on-site personnel doses exceeding 10CFR20 limits and the EOF Director will typically assume the responsibility for approving off-site personnel doses exceeding 10CFR20 limits.

1.2 PERSONNEL DOSIMETRY The capability to determine radiation dose to emergency response personnel is available twenty-four hours per day. Dosimetry personnel issue TLDs and dosimeters, maintain TLD and dosimeter logs, and keep the Radiation Protection and Radwaste Manager informed of personnel doses.

The self-reading dosimeters are read by the Health Physics staff upon entry and exit from radiologically controlled areas and recorded for each individual.

The permanent TLD is read, as necessary, in order to establish dose trends and control individual dose.

2.0 CONTAMINATION CONTROL 2.1 AREA ACCESS Controls have been established at ANO to ensure that there is no detectable fixed or removable contamination (beta-gamma or alpha) outside of the Controlled Access Area under normal and emergency conditions. All personnel and equipment leaving the Controlled Access Area are monitored to ensure that the limits for contamination levels are met.

Contamination control actions for off-site areas are planned for the Emergency Planning Zones with provisions to extend the actions to areas beyond this limit if necessary. These contamination control actions are described in the State Emergency Operations Plan.

Revision 30 K-2

2.2. PERSONNEL 2.2.1 Under Normal Conditions Personnel working practices within the Controlled Access Area are controlled by Health Physics personnel. Radiation Work Permits are required by all personnel working in the Controlled Access Area. Specific instructions, precautions, and limitations are listed on the work permits.

Individuals leaving radiologically controlled areas are monitored for contamination before entering the uncontrolled area of the plant. Personnel are again monitored as they pass through the portal monitor before leaving the guard stations, thus making it unlikely that a contaminated person could leave the site undetected.

2.2.2 Under Emergency Conditions In the event of personnel contamination, Radiation Protection procedures are implemented. These procedures detail methods for contamination removal from wounds, the whole body, hair, nostrils, and under fingernails. Wounds, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth are treated with utmost care to prevent internal deposition and infections. The procedures list supplies for decontamination; however, decontamination is accomplished by use of soap and water unless use of another agent is approved by the Radiation Protection and Radwaste Manager or his designee.

All decontaminations are recorded and, if not effective or if sickness and/or wounds are involved, personnel are taken to the Primary Medical Facility. Further decontamination is carried out at the Primary Medical Facility. The types of supplies and detection instrumentation maintained by ANO at the hospital are listed in Appendix 4. Certain agents such as titanium dioxide, EDTA cream, surgical soap, and potassium permanganate solution are common hospital supplies and are not listed. Health Physics personnel assist hospital personnel in surveying the patient and in contamination control. Hospital radiological department facilities for waste disposal are used.

Revision 30 K-3

If an accident occurs in a radiologically controlled area, and the patient requires medical aid, he is checked for contamination. If contamination levels are found to be below the levels for personnel contamination, the patient is taken to the Nurse's Station for treatment. If additional treatment is necessary, the Shift Manager may call the Pope County Emergency Medical Service for transportation to the Primary Medical Facility. If the patient is contaminated to unacceptable levels, reasonable efforts are made to decontaminate him. If this cannot be done due to the nature of the injury or hospitalization is immediately necessary, medical treatment and transportation to a hospital takes priority over decontamination activities. The injured individual is placed in clean protective clothing or wrapped, if time allows, to minimize the spread of contamination. A person trained in health physics accompanies the patient.

When the patient arrives at the hospital, the hospital staff follows their procedure to handle this type of patient. Health Physics personnel conduct surveys to ensure that contamination levels are kept to a minimum and control contamination until clean-up has been satisfactorily completed.

Contaminated personal items are confiscated if successful decontamination cannot be completed.

The Emergency Radiation Team performs radiological surveys and establishes Radiologically Controlled Area boundaries.

The criteria for boundary placement are found in the Health Physics Implementing procedures. Controls normally include use of a personnel entry log, a frisking station, and air sampling. The establishment of such areas control and contain contamination.

Decontaminated items and areas must meet radiological release criteria before being released from Health Physics control.

Revision 30 K-4

2.3 WATER AND FOOD SUPPLY 2.3.1 Onsite Supplies Radiological surveys of the emergency response centers and the primary assembly are performed on a frequent basis.

Potable water for ANO is obtained from the Russellville Water Supply. It is unlikely that any airborne release of radioactive material could affect this supply. Contaminated areas are posted as described in Section K.3.2. Drinking, eating, and smoking are prohibited in radiologically controlled areas.

2.3.2 Offsite Supplies Surface water samples from Lake Dardanelle upstream and downstream of the plant discharge and at the intake to the Russellville water supplies on the Illinois Bayou are analyzed for gross activity. Vegetation and milk (see ODCM) samples are also analyzed as part of the Environmental Radiological Monitoring Program. In the event of an airborne release of radioactive materials, samples are collected and analyzed.

Results are provided to the Arkansas Department of Health for appropriate protective action.

2.4 TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT All tools and equipment used in radiologically controlled areas are checked for contamination before being taken from these areas. If the item is found to be contaminated and decontamination is not practical, the item remains in the radiologically controlled area.

Equipment and tools are unconditionally released for use outside of the radiologically controlled areas only if they meet radiological release criteria.

Revision 30 K-5

2.4.1 Site Equipment Contamination Control Equipment, such as vehicles, normally stored outside the plant buildings are surveyed for contamination. Normal decontamination procedures of wiping, vacuuming or water spray are performed, dependent on the magnitude and type of the contaminant.

Vehicles leaving the site are monitored and decontaminated.

Emergency vehicles on lifesaving missions are not delayed for decontamination when leaving the site.

Large equipment on site which is contaminated, but not required for emergency recovery, is normally covered with plastic film to contain loose contamination.

2.4.2 Plant Equipment Contamination Control Small contaminated tools and equipment are wrapped in plastic and stored in radiologically controlled areas of the plant until decontaminated.

Large equipment outside radiologically controlled areas is covered with plastic film and decontaminated by methods described in radiation control procedures.

Large equipment inside radiologically controlled areas of the plant is normally located within rooms. Access and ventilation to these rooms are individually controlled. Contaminated plant equipment is decontaminated and/or controlled by methods described in radiation control procedures.

Revision 30 K-6

3.0 DECONTAMINATION 3.1 PERSONNEL DECONTAMINATION 3.1.1 Decontamination Facilities Contaminated personnel are dressed in clean protective clothing to contain the contamination and transferred to the decontamination area to be decontaminated in accordance with Health Physics procedures. Normal personnel decontamination is accomplished in the Controlled Access Area exit Control Point decontamination area. All drains lead to the Radwaste System where the liquid is processed and monitored prior to discharge. The domestic fresh water system supplies water to all the restrooms and showers. During a plant evacuation, personnel decontamination can be performed at the Emergency Operations Facility. A decontamination shower and supplies for decontamination of personnel are maintained at the EOF.

3.1.2 Decontamination Process Personnel decontamination is conducted by members of the HP staff, under the direction of the Radiation Protection and Radwaste Manager. Decontamination is conducted in accordance with Health Physics procedures.

3.2 AREA DECONTAMINATION Area decontamination is performed in accordance with Radiation Protection procedures.

3.2.1 Clean Area For areas outside of the radiologically controlled areas, surface contamination is kept below the following:

a. Removable and Fixed Contamination Beta-Gamma or Alpha In accordance with Health Physics Implementing Procedures.

Revision 30 K-7

3.2.2 Contamination Areas Contamination Areas are defined in Health Physics procedures.

Contamination areas have been divided into categories where the degree of contamination control requires changes with the level of contamination present.

3.2.3 Priorities for Area Decontamination Priorities for area decontamination are determined by the TSC Director or the Emergency Operations Facility Director.

4.0 WASTE DISPOSAL UNDER EMERGENCY CONDITIONS Liquid and gaseous wastes are processed using normal methods during emergency conditions. Emergency conditions may, however, require that additional resources of processing and disposal of waste be obtained.

A Process Control Program (PCP) is used at Arkansas Nuclear One to ensure that radioactive waste management results in solid waste products meeting the criteria contained in the Code of Federal Regulations, state regulations, off-site processing facility criteria and radioactive waste burial site license criteria for solid radiological waste shipment, processing and disposal.

In order to minimize the possibility of an accident involving radioactive waste occurring in an uncontrolled area, radioactive wastes are packaged and stored in a facility designed to prevent radiological releases to the environment. The waste is prepared, loaded and shipped to an offsite processor or a federal or state licensed radioactive waste disposal facility (burial site) in accordance with Arkansas Nuclear One approved procedures and/or qualified vendor procedures which have been approved by Arkansas Nuclear One. These procedures provide specific instructions which ensure the shipments meet the processor or intended burial site license requirements as well as applicable federal and state regulations.

Revision 30 K-8

Revision 30 K-9

L MEDICAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH SUPPORT 1.0 ONSITE FIRST AID Arkansas Nuclear One maintains first aid kits for minor treatment of injured individuals, showers for decontaminating personnel, and a whole body counter. A decontamination shower and supplies for decontamination of personnel are also maintained at the Emergency Operations Facility.

2.0 MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION Pope County Emergency Medical Services provides ambulances as required. Radio communications between Pope County Emergency Medical Services and the Primary Medical Facility are available via a private radio frequency. Members of the Emergency Radiation Team accompany contaminated personnel off site. Special effort is made to minimize radiological contamination of the ambulances.

3.0 OFFSITE MEDICAL FACILITIES 3.1 MEDICAL SERVICES PERSONNEL Local physicians have been retained to provide medical consultants for Arkansas Nuclear One. These physicians have received training in the treatment of patients that are contaminated and/or overexposed to radiation. These physicians treat contaminated, injured personnel from Arkansas Nuclear One. These physicians practice at the Primary Medical Facility.

3.2 PRIMARY MEDICAL FACILITY The Primary Medical Facility has facilities to treat individuals who are contaminated with radioactive material. Agreements are established between the Primary Medical Facility, the consulting physicians, and Arkansas Nuclear One for the treatment of contaminated individuals at the Primary Medical Facility. Individuals may be transferred to the Backup Medical Facility for further tests, examination, or treatment, as required, if they:

Revision 30 L-1

a. have received an overexposure to radiation sufficient to warrant special treatment or observation;
b. have, or are suspected of having, inhaled or ingested significant quantities of radioactive materials; and/or
c. cannot be readily decontaminated at the Primary Medical Facility.

Appendix 4 lists types of emergency supplies that are maintained at the Primary Medical Facility by Arkansas Nuclear One. These supplies are checked on a routine basis by Arkansas Nuclear One personnel.

3.3 BACKUP MEDICAL FACILITY The Backup Medical Facility provides medical treatment for radiologically contaminated and/or overexposed patients.

3.4 OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITY MEDICAL DIVISION The Oak Ridge Associated University Medical Division assists in the treatment of radiologically overexposed patients, if required.

Revision 30 L-2

M RECOVERY AND REENTRY PLANNING AND POST ACCIDENT OPERATIONS 1.0 ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND The Emergency Response Organization (ERO) is responsible for the overall coordination and management of the recovery effort and for the technical and administrative services, design work, scheduling, planning, quality control/assurance, construction, and vendor support necessary during the initial stages of the recovery phase. The individual responsible for Emergency Direction and Control has full authority to take immediate and decisive actions to mitigate the consequences of any nuclear emergency and for protection of the health and safety of the public. The Emergency Response Organization's effort during emergencies is viewed as a long-term effort requiring the ERO to be present 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day. The Initial Response Staff (IRS), in contrast, functions as the immediate response organization for emergencies. The IRS provides required immediate response actions and radiological controls; and compiles technical data for its own use and for review by the ERO. From the point of initiation of an emergency classification until the ERO is fully operational, the IRS provides direction and assistance for all emergencies.

The ERO is composed of, or can incorporate as needed, all the necessary technical, administrative, managerial, and support personnel that may be required for an emergency as illustrated on Figure B-8 of Section B. The organization is capable of 24-hour-a-day sustained operation. For each job title shown on Figure B-8, there are at least three personnel assigned to fill that position, which facilitates the 24-hour-a-day operational capability.

The EOF Director makes the decision to proceed from the emergency phase to the recovery phase. The Emergency Response Organization's responsibilities extend into the recovery phase until a decision is made by ERO managers that plant parameters and other pertinent criteria allow deactivation of the ERO and return to the normal plant and corporate organization.

The EOF Director makes the decision to relax/curtail duties of the ERO personnel.

This decision is based on input from ERO managers and advisors and includes, at a minimum, the following criteria:

a. Stable reactor shutdown with direction toward a cold shutdown condition.
b. Containment Building integrity.
c. Availability of an operational heat sink.
d. Operability of instrumentation and control equipment needed to maintain the reactor in a safe condition.

Revision 30 M-1

The duties of the ERO may be curtailed, as appropriate, by the EOF Director to provide the recovery assistance necessary to support the normal plant staff or the ERO may be deactivated by the EOF Director and responsibility for long-term recovery activities assumed by the normal corporate and plant staff. At the time the ERO is deactivated, ANO management or the EOF Director may form special groups/ task forces to handle specialized recovery operations.

Decisions to relax protective actions for the public are made by the appropriate State officials. The EOF Director advises the State Technical Operations Control Director (TOCD) and the NRC when the plant has returned to a safer mode and suggests that the response be downgraded or terminated and recovery actions initiated if necessary. Recovery actions and procedures are developed as required considering maximum protection for plant personnel and the public.

After ERO deactivation, the organization performing recovery activities follows the ANO normal corporate organization structure as shown in Figure M-1. The ANO corporate positions indicated in Figure M-1 have been assigned recovery responsibilities as described in the following sections.

2.0 ORGANIZATIONAL ARRANGEMENT, ASSIGNMENT, AND RESPONSIBILITIES 2.1 VICE PRESIDENT, OPERATIONS ANO The Vice President, Operations ANO provides overall management and direction of the ANO resources utilized for recovery, provides corporate level guidance, provides licensing support, and provides coordination with other Entergy Operations Divisions. If the recovery phase is expected to be a long-term process, he may form a team to be responsible for continuous control of the recovery operation thus permitting other personnel to return to their normal duties. The organizational structure of such a team is contingent on the emergency situation and the procedures required for recovery.

2.2 GENERAL MANAGER, PLANT OPERATIONS The General Manager, Plant Operations is responsible for the site recovery effort and security support. He may request any needed offsite support through the Vice President, Operations ANO and is responsible for developing required recovery procedures dictated by the type of incident.

The General Manager, Plant Operations also provides for Health Physics, Radwaste, and Nuclear Chemistry support and ensures that area sampling programs are developed for continued sampling until radiation effects of the emergency have been analyzed and an agreement has been reached between Entergy Operations, the State of Arkansas, and local governments that continued special sampling is no longer required. Once the recovery phase is entered, the General Manager, Plant Operations updates estimates of the total population exposure received in the 10-mile EPZ as more current radiological data becomes available.

Revision 30 M-2

2.3 DIRECTOR, ENGINEERING The Director, Engineering is responsible for reactor, performance, and system design engineering activities required for the safe and efficient recovery of the plant. These activities include resolving all plant-related engineering issues that do not alter the design basis of the plant.

2.4 PLANT MANAGER The Plant Manager provides assistance and technical services to the General Manager, Plant Operations in the area of plant operations and maintenance.

2.5 OTHER ENTERGY OPERATIONS RESOURCES All other Entergy Operations resources plus other governmental and vendor support are available through the Entergy Operations Corporate Emergency Center to aid the Vice President, Operations ANO in developing, evaluating, and implementing specific recovery and reentry operations.

2.6 POST ACCIDENT RECOVERY MEASURES Major post-accident recovery measures are performed in accordance with applicable Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures and Emergency Operating Procedures. Other procedures which may be developed following an incident include the following activities:

1. The first auxiliary building entry.
2. The first containment building entry.
3. Damage evaluation.
4. Facility Decontamination.
5. Disposal of radioactive material.

Recovery coordination is provided from the Emergency Operations Facility or normal staff offices according to the status of the ERO. A description of the EOF is provided in Section H and in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. The communications equipment available in this facility is described in Section F and shown in Table F-1 of this Plan.

Revision 30 M-3

2.7 POST ACCIDENT REPORTING An Emergency Class is closed out with a verbal and written summary to offsite authorities in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 and ANO EPIPs. A LER may serve as a written summary.

If a release of radioactive material occurred during the emergency, ANO personnel, in cooperation with ADH personnel, develop a report estimating the total radiation exposure to the population affected by the release.

3.0 REENTRY 3.1 PURPOSE The purpose of a reentry plan is to provide a means to regain access to an onsite or offsite area that was previously made inaccessible due to an emergency situation.

3.2 AUTHORITY The individual responsible for Emergency Direction and Control authorizes reentry into a previously evacuated onsite area. In the event the ERO is deactivated, the Vice President, Operations ANO has the responsibility for authorizing reentry into a previously evacuated area.

3.3 IMPLEMENTING ORGANIZATION The implementation of the reentry plan is carried out by the ERO depicted in Figure B-6 or the normal ANO organization shown in Figure M-1 and discussed in Section M.2. These organizations have access to all information, documents, equipment, and personnel required to support a reentry effort. Actual reentry is accomplished by recovery personnel under the control of the TSC Director or the Director, Operations.

3.4 REENTRY - EMERGENCY RADIATION EXPOSURE DOSE JUSTIFICATION Although every effort is made to keep dose as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA), it is understood that there are emergency situations which transcend the normal requirements for limiting dose. When such situations exist, the individual responsible for Emergency Direction and Control makes the determination as to the amount of radiation exposure that will be permitted based on the guidelines set forth below.

Revision 30 M-4

3.5 REENTRY GUIDELINES Reentry into an evacuated area may be required for one or more of the following reasons:

a. To ascertain that all personnel who were in the affected area have been evacuated and, if necessary, to search for unaccounted personnel;
b. To rescue any injured or trapped personnel from the affected area;
c. To perform operations which may decrease the effect of the emergency or hazardous condition; and/or
d. To determine the nature and extent of the emergency and/or radiological conditions.

Reentry operations take place only on the authority of the individual responsible for Emergency Direction and Control who selects individuals that are familiar with health physics, first aid, operation, or maintenance for specialized recovery groups. The initial entry of these groups, and all subsequent entries until radiation areas have been properly marked, are under the direction of the Radiation Protection and Radwaste Manager.

Recovery personnel are briefed regarding their duties and the actions they are to perform while in the area. They are also briefed as to the expected dose rates, stay time, and other hazards. Information for these briefings is obtained from the applicable available sources including interviews with evacuated employees, current operating records, surveys conducted by the Emergency Radiation Team, and Company technical support personnel.

Even under emergency conditions, it is not desirable to exceed the limits of 10CFR20. Guidelines in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures, however, permit the individual with emergency direction and control to authorize exceeding those limits under conditions where the mission is to search for and remove injured personnel, prevent conditions that may endanger human life or safety, protect the facilities, eliminate further escape of effluents, or control fires.

Recovery personnel perform their duties in the most safe and efficient manner possible. Once their operations have been completed, the recovery personnel follow self-monitoring and personnel decontamination procedures as specified by the Radiation Protection and Radwaste Manager.

All questions which relate to exceeding occupational dose limits are directed to the individual responsible for Emergency Direction and Control.

At least one drill per year is scheduled to be performed on a "back shift" for the Fire Brigade. At least one drill per year is unannounced. At least once per year a drill is conducted with invited participation of the London Fire Department. These drills meet the requirements of the ANO Fire Protection Plan.

Revision 30 N-1

2.3 MEDICAL EMERGENCY This drill requires activation of emergency medical personnel and, if feasible, transportation by the Pope County Emergency Medical Service of a simulated injured person to an offsite medical treatment facility and activation of their response team. The Medical Emergency drill is conducted annually. The offsite portions of the medical drill may be performed as part of the biennial exercise.

2.4 RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING Plant environs and radiological monitoring drills (onsite and offsite) are conducted annually. These drills shall include collection and analysis of all sample media (e.g., water, vegetation, soil, and air) and provisions for communications and record keeping. Where appropriate, local organizations participate.

2.5 HEALTH PHYSICS Health Physics drills are conducted semi-annually which involve response to, and analysis of, simulated elevated airborne and liquid samples and direct radiation measurements in the environment.

Analysis of inplant liquid samples with actual elevated radiation levels including use of the post-accident sampling method are included annually at ANO in Health Physics drills.

2.5.1 Radiological Dose Assessment A radiological dose assessment drill utilizing simulated field monitoring data is conducted annually. The drill may be in conjunction with a health physics drill and address dose projection calculations and offsite Protective Action Recommendations.

2.6 EMERGENCY RESPONSE STAFFING DRILL Emergency Response Staffing Drills are conducted at least once per year to ensure that the capability exists to implement Table B-1, "Minimum Staffing Requirements", of the Emergency Plan and to ensure that adequate staffing is available to activate Emergency Response Facilities. This Staffing Drill can be accomplished by using the Computerized Notification System (CNS).

Revision 30 N-2

3.0 SCENARIOS Scenario development for drills and the biennial exercise is the responsibility of the Emergency Planning Manager. Input from major Federal, State and local agencies, as well as the ANO staff, is required in order to define the objectives to be accomplished in graded exercises. The scenario for drills and exercises is then prepared which may include but is not limited to:

a. the basic objective of the drill or exercise;
b. the participating organizations for the drill or exercise;
c. a chronology of the simulated unusual events;
d. a time schedule of real and simulated initiating events;
e. a narrative summary describing the simulated events and the appropriate responses and actions; and
f. arrangements for qualified observers.

Preparation of the scenario includes identifying Control Room alarms, sequence of alarms, and instrument readings required to initiate the essential components of the exercise.

Only officials of Federal, State, and local support agencies involved in scenario development or designated as scenario observers/controllers share scenario information in advance of the exercises. Limited distribution of scenario information allows effective participation by observers/controllers without losing confidentiality of exercise information.

4.0 CRITIQUES In addition to the ANO observers, offsite support agencies provide observers for the biennial exercise. Observers are given information on the accident scenario prior to the exercise so that they may judge participants effectively.

A critique is scheduled at the conclusion of the exercise to evaluate the ability of organizations to respond as called for in the Emergency Plan. The critique is conducted as soon as practical after the exercise, and a formal evaluation should result from the critique.

Revision 30 N-3

The Director, Nuclear Safety Assurance, with input from the Emergency Planning Staff is responsible for reviewing comments, identifying problems, and proposing corrective action to the General Manager, Plant Operations and the Vice President, Operations. The General Manager, Plant Operations and the Vice President, Operations ANO are responsible for assuring that appropriate corrective action is taken to improve emergency preparedness.

Remedial exercises are required by the NRC if the emergency plan is not satisfactorily tested during the biennial exercise.

Revision 30 N-4

O RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE TRAINING This section of the Plan describes the methods used to ensure that the Emergency Plan remains effective throughout the lifetime of Arkansas Nuclear One. Responsibility for the administration of this Plan rests with the Vice President, Operations ANO.

A training program for instructing and qualifying personnel who implement the radiological emergency response plan has been established. The specialized initial training and periodic retraining programs (including the scope, nature and frequency) are provided in the following categories:

  • Directors or coordinators of the response organization
  • Personnel responsible for accident assessment
  • Radiological monitoring teams and radiological analysis personnel
  • Fire brigade
  • Repair and damage control teams
  • First aid and rescue personnel
  • Local Emergency Services personnel
  • Medical support personnel
  • Licensee's headquarters support personnel
  • Personnel responsible for transmission of emergency information and instructions
  • Security personnel Responsibility for the training of ANO onsite responders rests with the Vice President, Operations ANO. The Arkansas Department of Health is responsible for the training of offsite response organizations.

Revision 30 O-1

1.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATION TRAINING The Emergency Response Organization (ERO) includes the following groups:

  • Directors or coordinators of the response organization
  • Personnel responsible for accident assessment
  • Radiological monitoring teams and radiological analysis personnel
  • Licensee's headquarters support personnel
  • Personnel responsible for transmission of emergency information and instructions (i.e., Communicators, Shift Engineers)

It is the responsibility of the personnel assigned to the ERO to become familiar with their Emergency Plan assigned authority and responsibility so that planned actions are taken in the event of an emergency. Personnel who function in the ERO are provided initial training and periodic retraining.

The initial and annual retraining programs for ERO personnel are accomplished using various combinations of training settings which may include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • classroom instruction,
  • computer-based training,
  • written examinations,
  • drill performance (with on-the-spot correction of erroneous performance),
  • completion of position specific workbooks, and/or
  • self-study Initial training and annual retraining are given in a range of subjects defined by position in the Emergency Response Training procedure. Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures, the Emergency Response Training Procedure, and other documents address administration, scheduling, subject matter, qualification criteria and specific training requirements for the ERO.

Self-study by read and sign is used to make responsible emergency response personnel aware of critical changes to the plan and/or procedures.

This method is most often used when such information cannot be delayed until other training can be provided.

Revision 30 O-2

Drills are used to provide practical experience to enhance information gained in training. During the year, as many emergency response personnel as possible participate in the scheduled drills and exercises to broaden the experience base of the emergency organization. The goal is to achieve maximum participation of ERO personnel in drills.

A written examination is used as a means for an individual to demonstrate knowledge in a given area. Written examinations are administered, as prescribed by procedure, to supplement portions of the initial training and annual retraining.

2.0 TRAINING FOR OTHER ANO EMERGENCY RESPONSE GROUPS Training for other ANO Emergency Response groups is described as follows:

2.1 FIRE BRIGADE The Fire Brigade consists of members of the Operations staff who are assigned to shift crews and members of the Security staff. Fire Brigade members receive initial training and at least quarterly retraining on fire fighting techniques. The training program includes classroom training, field training, and drills. Training covers the chemistry of fire, basic fire fighting techniques, fire hazards, and methods of reporting fires. Detailed training is outlined in the ANO training procedures.

2.2 REPAIR AND DAMAGE CONTROL TEAM The Repair and Damage Control team typically consists of a combination of individuals from the following groups: Health Physics, Operations, Maintenance (Electrical, I&C, or Mechanical), and First Aid and Rescue Personnel.

These individuals receive training concerning: (1) radiation protection; (2) the location of the assembly area following a plant evacuation announcement; and (3) their particular craft.

2.3 SECURITY PERSONNEL Security personnel training is administered by the Security Training Program. The EOI Integrated Security Training and Qualification Plan describes the security personnel training requirements.

Revision 30 O-3

2.4 FIRST AID AND RESCUE PERSONNEL All plant personnel responsible for responding to an emergency situation involving personal injury receive rescue training and first aid training. The first aid training meets or exceeds the Red Cross Multi-Media course. Personnel with first aid and rescue responsibilities receive initial training and at least annual retraining.

3.0 LOCAL SERVICES PERSONNEL TRAINING Training for local services personnel includes, but is not necessarily limited to, procedures for notification and, where applicable, site access procedures and the identity of the individuals in the Emergency Response Organization who coordinate the local services groups' activities. Changes to the Emergency Plan are transmitted to all local groups.

Radiological orientation training is made available to the following local services personnel.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

NUREG-0654 requires operators of nuclear power plants to provide time estimates for various emergency evacuation scenarios. Appendix 4 of NUREG-0654 provides an outline of the information requested by the NRC in relation to evacuation time estimates. NUREG-0654 also requires that evacuation times be updated as local conditions change. Based on the 2000 Census, Arkansas Nuclear One has updated its evacuation time estimates accordingly.

Evacuation time estimates were calculated using available population data and NETVAC2, a computer-based evacuation simulation model. This report describes the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ), examines the assumption used, describes the study methodology and summarizes the results of the evacuation time study performed by Arkansas Nuclear One.

1.1 Site Location and EPZ Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO) is located in Pope County, Arkansas, on the northern shore of Lake Dardanelle. Figure 1-1 shows the general location of the plant and Figure 1-2 shows where the plant is located in relation to Lake Dardanelle and nearby towns, together with the EPZ boundaries.

The EPZ boundaries encompass portions of four counties in Arkansas.

These are Pope, Johnson, Logan, and Yell counties. Each of these counties has an emergency plan and participates in a joint planning effort with the state through the Arkansas Nuclear Planning Response Program (ANP&RP) office located in Russellville, Arkansas.

The EPZ surrounding ANO is sparsely populated. The permanent population in the EPZ is approximately 46,600 persons. The majority of the population is located in Russellville. Other smaller towns in the EPZ include Dardanelle, Dover, London, and Knoxville. The remaining land area is rural, unincorporated land with generally sparse population. Lake Dardanelle is a dominant feature of the EPZ. There are a number of parks and recreation areas on the shores of the lake. A significant number of tourists enter the EPZ to use these facilities, especially during the warmer months.

FIGURE 1-1 GENERAL LOCATION MAP Revision 30 5-2

FIGURE 1-2 MAP OF EPZ AND SUB-ZONES Revision 30 5-3

1.2 General Assumptions and Methodology The evacuation time estimates are based on computer modeling of several evacuation scenarios. The model used is the NETVAC model which simulates the movement of evacuating vehicles over a predetermined evacuation network. The model is a dynamic network model which accounts for traffic congestion on the network and route choices by the evacuating vehicle operators. Capacities of the evacuation network are calculated based on algorithms taken from the Highway Capacity Manual.

To apply the evacuation model, a considerable amount of population and highway network data are required.

The following are the sources of key data elements and assumptions:

  • Permanent Population Data were obtained from the 2000 Census.
  • Transient Population and Employment Levels at Major Facilities were provided by park officials and local employers. These numbers reflect both estimates and phone survey data.
  • Descriptions of Special Facilities and Their Population were provided by officials of those facilities.
  • Definition of the Evacuation Network was based on the previous study performed by HMM Associates (now EarthTech).
  • Network Capacities were determined by the NETVAC model.
  • Auto Occupancy Factors (persons per vehicle) used were 2.5 for permanent population, 2.0 for the transient population and 1.0 for employees at the major employment centers.
  • Evacuation Mobilization and Preparation Times were the same as those used in the previous estimate. It was assumed that the first departures would take place 30 minutes after the order to evacuate is given. Employee departures from work places would take place over the next 30 minutes. Permanent and transient population departures were distributed over a 90- to 120-minute period beginning 30 minutes after the order to evacuate. These departures were staggered to approximate a statistical distribution of departure times.

Revision 30 5-4

These assumptions and data are presented in greater detail in the following sections of this report.

2.0 POPULATION AND AUTOMOBILE DEMAND ESTIMATION The demand estimation phase is made up of two steps. The first step is the determination of the number and distribution of the population to be evacuated.

The second step is the determination of the appropriate number of vehicles required to evacuate each of the population groups. Federal guidance indicates that three potential population segments should be considered in a study of this type. These include permanent residents, transients, and persons in special facilities.

2.1 Permanent Residents Permanent residents were defined as those persons having residences within the ANO EPZ. The base data for determining the permanent population distribution were taken from the 2000 Census.

2.2 Transient Population Two components of transient population were considered: persons engaged in recreational activities and those working at major employment centers.

Estimates of the population engaged in recreational activities within the EPZ were provided by park officials. Table 2-1 summarizes the peak attendance estimates for these facilities.

Employment estimates for the major employment centers within the EPZ were provided by the employers. Only those employers with at least 100 daytime employees were considered in the evacuation estimates. Table 2-2 summarizes employment levels.

2.3 Special Facility Populations The special facility population within the ANO EPZ is comprised of schools, hospitals, and nursing homes. Approximate populations of schools, hospitals, and nursing homes are listed on tables 2-3 and 2-4.

Revision 30 5-7

2.4 Vehicle Demands The permanent and transient populations are assumed to evacuate using private automobiles. It is assumed that all permanent and transient residents of the EPZ have access to private automobiles. Most persons will leave using their own vehicles, while others may rely on friends, neighbors, or relatives for transportation. An auto occupancy factor of 2.5 persons per vehicle has been used to calculate the number of automobiles used to evacuate the permanent population.

An auto occupancy factor of 2.0 persons per vehicle was assumed for the transient population to be evacuated. This factor is conservative (i.e., it tends to over-estimate the number of automobiles) for three reasons.

First, the people visiting the recreational facilities will seldom travel in units of less than two; in fact many times large groups of friends or family will travel in a single vehicle. Second, there is very likely some double-counting involved with the transient population. Many of the visitors to the parks and recreational facilities will be permanent residents of the EPZ. Third, the transient population numbers were based on peak and seasonal usage of the facilities. For these reasons, it is very unlikely that transient auto traffic will be as high as assumed in the study.

An auto occupancy factor of 1.0 person per vehicle was assumed for vehicles departing from the employment centers. The use of 1.0 person per vehicle involves some double counting since many, if not most, of the workers at the major employers are also permanent resident of the EPZ.

It appears that the double counting is warranted, however, because the local plans assume these workers will not return to their homes before departing the EPZ. The workers will go directly out of the EPZ. The families of these workers will leave in separate vehicles.

3.0 EMERGENCY PLANNING ZONE AND SUB-ZONES The ANO EPZ covers the 10-mile radius surrounding the plant, as shown on Figure 1-2. The EPZ is divided into 15 sub-zones. Major geographical and political boundaries are used to define the sub-zone boundaries to the extent possible. For example, the Arkansas River and County lines serve as sub-zone boundaries in certain cases. Care was taken to avoid dividing heavily populated areas.

Revision 30 5-8

4.0 THE EVACUATION ROADWAY NETWORK 4.1 Network Definition Because there have been no major highway or street modifications or additions since the last evacuation time estimate, ANO used the same evacuation roadway network as that used by HMM Associates (now EarthTech) in the last estimate. Any improvements that have been made would enhance the ability to evacuate the EPZ. Thus, the use of the previous roadway network would overestimate the time required to evacuate. The evacuation roadway network is shown in Figure 4-1.

4.2 Links and Nodes For the purpose of identification and for subsequently calculating evacuation times, the network has been coded into a system of numbered "links" and "nodes".

A total of 88 nodes, representing the intersections of major streets and highways, have been included in the network.

A total of 128 links, representing the actual evacuation segments, are included in the network.

"Entry" links and nodes are the mechanisms used to load the evacuation network with the departing automobiles. For modeling purposes, all automobiles are assumed to "enter" the real network at entry nodes (i.e.,

entry nodes are used as surrogates for all the parking lots, driveways, etc., from which the evacuating automobiles originate). For the ANO network, 33 entry nodes were selected.

Once carried through the evacuation network by the simulation process, the vehicles are simulated to leave the network at exit nodes. Exit nodes are placed on the evacuation routes that depart the EPZ. They are generally located along the perimeter of the EPZ. For ANO there are a total of 12 exit nodes.

The evacuation network showing the locations and number codes for each link and node in the network is shown in figure 4-2.

5.0 EVACUATION TIME ESTIMATE METHODOLOGY 5.1 Initial Alert and Notification The EPZ surrounding ANO has an early warning system consistent with NRC and FEMA guidelines. This system will be used to alert the population to turn on their radios and television sets. It is assumed that evacuation notification messages will commence on the designated television and radio stations almost immediately. Within 15 minutes the population within the EPZ will have received an informational or instructional message. The message will describe the need to evacuate, the evacuation routes, and the reception center locations.

All schools in the 10-mile EPZ will receive an advance alert to evacuate. It is planned that kindergarten through ninth grade will then be evacuated by bus, while grades 10 through 12 leave by private automobiles. This evacuation is expected to be complete prior to commencement of the general evacuation.

The timing of the order to evacuate and notification measures will be controlled by the state and local emergency planning officials. They may choose to alert and mobilize an emergency response work force to control and expedite evacuation prior to sounding the initial siren alert.

5.2 Evacuation Preparation Times and Departure Distribution It is assumed that all population groups require at least some minimal preparation time. Therefore, in addition to the fifteen minutes for notification, a base preparation time of fifteen minutes was assigned to all population groups. This means that no vehicles commence evacuation until 30 minutes after the initial order to evacuate. At this point the various population groups begin to enter the network. Network loading distributions for permanent population transient population, work force and special facilities were considered separately.

Revision 30 5-12

5.2.1 Permanent Population Departures It was assumed that permanent residents would take varying amounts of time to begin evacuating. Some persons would leave as quickly as they could; most would take some time to form family units, pack valuable and clothes and then depart; and some would take added time to secure farms and property before departing. It was therefore assumed that there would be a two hour period over which the permanent residents would begin departing. Within the two hour period, beginning 30 minutes after the initial order to evacuate, three loading rates were used. During the first half hour it was assumed that only 15% of the permanent population would depart. This fraction was chosen to represent those persons that will leave as quickly as possible, with minimum preparation.

It was assumed that 80%, or the bulk of the population would leave over the course of the following hour. The remaining 5% of the permanent residents were assumed to evacuate the small portion of the last half hour. This 5% represents the small portion of the population that requires additional time to secure property and to mobilize for departure 5.2.2 Transient Population Departures The departure distribution curve developed for permanent population was determined to be equally applicable to the transient population. The 15%-80%-5% split provides for rapid departure by some day-trip recreational visitors; it provides for longer preparation times for boaters, hikers and persons in remote locations; and it provides for some stragglers that do not receive prompt notification messages or that have a considerable amount of gear to pack before leaving.

5.2.3 Work Force Departures It was assumed that the work force would receive initial alerts and notification promptly. It was also assumed that the large majority of the work force would be released from the major employment centers expeditiously. Therefore, all work force departures were uniformly distributed over the first half hour (from 30 to 60 minutes after initial order to evacuate) of the departure period.

Revision 30 5-13

5.2.4 Special Facility Departures There are four nursing homes and two hospitals in the 10-mile EPZ. It is expected that nursing home residents and non-ambulatory hospital patients will remain in these facilities and be sheltered there. It is believed that there is greater risk involved in transporting these people than leaving them in place. Approximately 75 ambulatory patients are expected to evacuate St. Mary's hospital in private automobiles and about 20 from Dardanelle hospital, with one person per vehicle. These people will leave in the first 30 minutes of the evacuation.

The ANP&RP staff maintains an updated list of all the residents in the EPZ who are without means of private transportation. Arrangements have been made to transport these people in the automobiles of friends and relatives. No specific modeling procedures were used for this element of the population.

5.3 Evacuation Simulation Actual evacuations were simulated using the population distribution data, evacuation network data, and evacuation preparation and departure time distribution assumptions discussed in previous sections. Evacuation was simulated using the NETVAC computer model. NETVAC is a flexible, fixed step, macro traffic simulation model which uses traffic flow relationships to calculate and record traffic densities, speeds, flows, queues at bottlenecks, spill back where the network cannot handle the desired traffic loading demand, and other relevant information through the evacuation simulation process. At every simulation interval the model assigns traffic from links entering an intersection to the links emanating from it, thus advancing the traffic along the evacuation routes in the network.

NETVAC includes a dynamic route selection feature whereby drivers' choice of outbound links, at every intersection, is based on two criteria:

1) The directionality of the outbound link (i.e., the degree to which it leads away from the plant).
2) The traffic conditions on the outbound links (i.e., speeds and queuing). The traffic flow leaving a link at any intersection is subject to various approach capacity constraints, and all the traffic assigned onto an outbound link is constrained by the capacity of that link.

Revision 30 5-14

The roadway and intersection approach capacities calculated by NETVAC are based upon the Highway Capacity Manual (Highway Research Board, Special Report 87, 1965). Due to the dynamic route assignment mechanism, intersection approach capacities are updated at each simulation interval to account for the changing turning movements. The intersection control options which can be specified for NETVAC include fully signalized approaches, uncontrolled approaches, and secondary priority approaches (accounting for stop signs and yields signs in instances where they can be assumed to be obeyed).

The input to the model includes link information, node information, and traffic loading information. Link information includes:

1) Lane width,
2) Distance to obstructions,
3) Number of lanes,
4) Roadway type,
5) Directionality, and
6) Free-flow travel speed.

Node information includes:

1) Intersection approach width,
2) Intersection priorities and controls coordinates,
3) Intersection location within the metropolitan area, and
4) Traffic control.

5.4 Conditions Modeled Evacuation time analyses were made for three time periods for each case described in Section 3. Each case was analyzed for weekdays, nighttime, and weekend day. The following assumptions were made for each time period:

Weekday

  • One or more family member in each residence,
  • School children in school,
  • Work places fully staffed,
  • Recreational facilities normally in used, but not at peak. Note, this is a conservative assumption since this condition is not likely during most of the year and probably does not coincide with full school attendance.

Revision 30 5-15

Nighttime

  • All permanent residents in homes,
  • Schools empty,
  • Work places on night shift, if any,
  • Recreational facilities at nighttime attendance level.

Weekend

  • At least one family member in each residence,
  • Schools empty,
  • Recreational facilities at peak capacity,
  • Work places with weekend shift employment levels.

It should be repeated that each OF these time periods represents a conservative case. There is a certain amount of double counting since there are undoubtedly permanent residents also counted as transients at recreation facilities and as employees.

In addition, adverse-weather cases were run for the day cases since this is the limiting case in bad weather. An adverse-weather situation is assumed to be heavy rainfall or snow. The weekend case was not modeled for adverse weather since recreational facilities would not be at peak capacity under such weather conditions. To model adverse weather, it was assumed that all roads would operate at 70% of their normal capacity.

5.5 Evacuation Movement Consideration The modeling of evacuation movements was designed to be consistent with the county emergency plans. It was assumed that the evacuation instructions in the emergency plans and the traffic control measures suggested in the plans would be implemented. It should be noted that the model does not account for traffic control officers expediting flow.

Existing traffic signals are the only traffic control facilities included in the model.

Revision 30 5-16

6.0 ANALYSIS OF EVACUATION TIMES Clear-time estimates for each sub-zone are presented in Table 6-1. These are estimates for the maximum time needed for the population in each sub-zone to clear the EPZ boundary. During the winter, many of these times should be lower since the recreational facilities will not be occupied.

No provision is made for persons to travel home and form family units. It is assumed that the evacuating population departs directly from the school, work-place, recreation area or residence at which they are located when the alert sounds. Rendezvous will occur at the reception centers.
