POWER COMPANY Point Beach Nuclear Pk2nt 6610 Nuclear Rd., Two Rivers, VA 54241 (414) 755-2321 PBL 95-0164 June 29, 1995 Document Control Desk U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Mail Station P1-137 Washington, DC 20555 CHANGES TO THE POINT BEACH EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS On June 2, 1995, the Point Beach Emergency Action Level Table was revised to incorporate allowable changes addressed in the " Branch Position On Acceptable Deviations to Appendix 1 to NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1," dated July 11, 1994. The purpose of this memorandum is to identify for you the major changes made in the June 2 revision and to introduce you to our EAL Technical Basis Document. l l

The following Deletions and Additions, all of which are UNUSUAL EVENT classifications, were made to EPIP 1.2, " Event Classifications," in accordance with the Branch Technical Position (BTP) paper noted above.

DELETIONS:

1. From Category 13, "Other" -- we removed the initiating condition of "Significant loss of meteorological instruments which impairs ability to perform emergency assessment." The basis for deletion is consistent with that of the BTP paper. We have maintained EALs for loss of indications or alarms. Loss of communications capability remains i covered under Non-Emergency Events--one hour reports in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72.

2. From Category 14, " Safety System Functions" -- we removed the initiating conditions of " Unplanned initiation of emergency core cooling with injection to the primary system," " Loss of containment integrity requiring shutdown by Technical Specifications," " Loss of engineered safety feature requiring shutdown by Technical Specifications," and

" Loss of fire protection system function requiring shutdown by Technical Specifications (i.e., both fire pumps inoperable and no backup fire suppression system)." The basis for these deletions are consistent with those of the BTP paper. It should be noted that the emergency core cooling with injection initiating condition is for " unplanned" initiation and that we do maintain equivalent initiating conditions, as described in the BTP paper, for NUREG-0654 Unusual Event #5, Alert #5 and Site Area Emergency #1. Also in accordance with the BTP paper for g705040995b629 ^

c .

PBL 95-0164' June 29, 1995 Page 2 removal of the Technical Specification required shutdown initiating conditions described above, we have incorporated an Unusual Event for exceeding Technical Specification required shutdown time limits. This Unusual Event is described further in the " Additions" section.

Due to the deletions described for Category 14, we have eliminated the

" Safety System Functions" category from our event classification table, j

3. From Category 16, " Serious or Fatal Injury" -- we removed the initiating ,

1 condition of " Transportation of an externally contaminated and seriously / fatally injured individual from site to hospital." The basis for this deletion is consistent with that of the BTP paper. Again, due to this deletion, we have eliminated the " Serious or Fatal Injury" category from our event classification table.

ADDITIONS: l

' - To Category 11, " Plant Shutdown Function" -- we added the initiating condition of " Inability to reach Technical Specification required i shutdown within the specified time limit." The basis for this addition i l 1s consistent with that of the BTP paper and warranted in view of the j Technical Specification required shutdown Unusual Event deletions j describe above. l l

The remainder of the changes made to our event classification table were administrative in nature (e.g., consistent wording, removal of redundant )l verbiage, capitalization, etc.) or made for clarification (e.g. , the Emergency Action Levels in Category 5, " Abnormal Effluent," used to be the Initiating conditions). The " indications" of an event are found in the Emergency Action Level section throughout the table and, therefore, these were moved for consistency and the Initiating Condition statements added for clarification.

The changes to EPIP 1.2, " Event Classifications," were discussed with, and agreed upon by, the State and local officials prior to the June 2 revision in accordance with Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50. You will find enclosed copies of the letters sent to us by the State of Wisconsin, Manitowoc County, and Kewaunee County describing our face-to-face discussion of the changes.

Finally, you will find enclosed a Controlled Copy of the Point Beach Nuclear Plant EAL Technical Basis Document. This document was compiled to describe the basis for having the setpoints and indications that we have in our classification scheme. It also provides reasons for excluding some of the Initiating Conditions found in Appendix 1 to NUREG-0654 from the Point Beach classification table. The EAL Technical Basis Document is listed as a reference in EPIP 1.2, " Event Classifications" and is further described in the Precautions and Limitations section of this procedure to caution users. The i EAL Technical Basis Document is not intended to be used in lieu of Emergency l Plan Implementing Procedures when classifying emergency events. We do feel, however, that this document will be a valuable tool for our emergency response staff during training and during times when clarification of initiating conditions (time permitting) may be warranted. We have also provided copies of the Technical Basis document to our State and County agencies.

plant EALs, as written in your Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures, specifically EPIP 1.2.

The changes indicated appear logical, and I understand and concur with the reasoning behind .

• "* of;c$ *'" June 2,1995 Memo to: Rick Chojnacki Nancy H. Crowley

,4 L~

From:

Subject:

• Emergency Action Level

• Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation This memo supports the fact that you and I have discussed EPIP'1.2, " Event Classification",

Revision 28 draft dated May 15,1995 as well as the NRC branch position paper. I believe I understand why the changes were made in EPIP relative to the Emergency Action Levels and have no difficulty with those changes. I will keep the draft copy until I receive the final version. .

Thanks also for the in-depth explanation of planned relocation of spent fuel at Point Beach Nuclear Plant to the independent spent fuel storage installation. Again I don't object to not having EAL's apply to that facility.

Thank you for your continued effort to keep Manitowoc County emergency management fully apprised of the emergency preparedness philosophy and procedures specific to PBNP.

I spoke with Marcia Smith relative to the purchase of FEMA dosimeters. Marcia said FEMA will require a quarterly drift check on 0-200 mR dosimeters if we purchase their dosimeters.

If we purchase the more expensive commercial dosimetry (like those we have ordered) we will not be required to do the quarterly" drift checks.
