NLS2022055 Attachment Page 1 of 1 Attachment Summary of 50.54(q) Analysis, Cooper Nuclear Station Emergency Plan, Revision 81 Change - Description Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) Emergency Plan (E-Plan), Figure 7.2-1, Technical Support Center (TSC) Floor Plan and Figure 7.2-2, Operational Support Center (OSC) Floor Plan are revised to reflect the new facility layout of the TSC and OSC.
The facilities are still in the same location as they were previously but have been remodeled to include new furniture, the addition of a raised floor in the TSC, and a conference/briefing room.
Change - Summary of Analysis (10 CFR 50.54(q) Evaluation)
Licensing Basis Affected by Change:
E-Plan, Section 7.2.1 - The TSC is the focal point for on-site emergency coordination, providing management and technical support, and for directing and assisting the Control Room during station emergency conditions. Figure 7.2-1 provides a layout of the TSC.
E-Plan, Section 7.2.2 - The OSC is the assembly and staging area for chemistry personnel, radiological protection personnel, and maintenance personnel. The OSC provides a location where plant logistics support and emergency response activities are coordinated. The OSC is located adjacent to the TSC. Figure 7.2-2 shows the layout of the OSC.
How Change Complies with Regulations and Previous Commitments:
10 CFR 50.47(b)(8) requires that adequate emergency facilities and equipment to support the emergency response are provided and maintained.
This change continues to comply with the regulatory requirement described above as the TSC/OSC remodeling has provided additional individual workspace and overall improves functionality of the facilities.
This change does not conflict with other E-Plan related commitments made to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Affected Emergency Planning Functions/Impact on Effectiveness of Emergency Planning Functions:
10 CFR 50.47(b)(8); Function -Adequate facilities are maintained to support emergency response.
The improved facility layout will not negatively impact the function of the TSC and OSC as required by the E-Plan. The change meets the above planning standard function and does not constitute a reduction in the effectiveness of the CNS E-Plan.

THE NEBRASKA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT EMERGENCY PLAN FOR COOPER NUCLEAR STATION INTRODUCTION The Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) is a one-unit Boiling Water Reactor power station rated at approximately 830 Mw( e) operated by the Nebraska Public Power District. The station is located on the west bank of the Missouri River between the towns of Brownville and Nemaha, Nebraska. Cooper Nuclear Station has been in commercial operation since July 1974. An independent spent fuel storage installation is located within the Protected Area of CNS.
This Emergency Plan: (1) describes the organization formed to manage emergency situations; (2) provides the mechanism to classify emergencies according to severity of consequences; (3) defines and assigns functional responsibilities for emergency response actions; (4) outlines courses-of-action and protective measures to mitigate the consequences of an accident and to safeguard station personnel and the public; and (5) presents a general post-emergency plan and District organization for restoring the plant to normal operating status. Detailed implementing procedures for specific emergency actions during an incident are contained in the Cooper Nuclear Station Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
This Emergency Plan establishes the policies and practices involving the Nebraska Public Power District in the unlikely event of an emergency at the Cooper Nuclear Station. Additions, deletions, or modifications to this Emergency Plan will be approved in accordance with the CNS License Basis Document change process. The Director of Nuclear Safety Assurance has overall authority and responsibility for radiological emergency response planning at CNS.
The Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures for the Nebraska Public Power District emergency response activities are the documents which implement the requirements of this plan. Additions, deletions, or modifications to the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures are made in accordance with the CNS Administrative Procedures.
Copies of this Plan and the implementing documents shall be issued via a system of controlled distribution which will assure that all copies remain current.

- 1. DEFINITIONS The following are definitions of terms commonly used in the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) Emergency Plan.
1.1 Annual - Once during every calendar year.
1.2 Assessment Actions - Actions taken during or after an emergency to obtain and process information necessary to determine the character and magnitude of the emergency and specific corrective emergency measures.
1.3 Class "A" Dose Assessment Model - A dose assessment computer code which utilizes actual 15 minute average meteorological data from the meteorological instrumentation maintained by the licensee or from alternate meteorological sources. This model provides calculations of relative concentrations and transit times within the plume exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). The output from a Class A model typically includes the plume dimensions and position, and the location, magnitude, and arrival time of (1) the peak relative concentration, and (2) the relative concentrations at appropriate locations.
1.4 Control Room - The Control Room, operating under the direction of the Shift Manager, is the primary point from which station conditions are monitored and controlled. It is the point where many corrective actions are taken to mitigate an emergency and where the initial assessment and classification of an emergency are made.
1.5 Corrective Actions - Measures taken to reduce the severity of, or terminate an emergency at or near the source of the problem; to prevent an uncontrolled release of radioactive material; or to reduce the magnitude of the radioactive release.
1.6 Dosimeter of Legal Record (DLR) - A radiation dose monitoring device. A device used to determine an individual's accumulated external occupational radiation exposure including Deep Dose Equivalent (ODE), Lens Dose Equivalent (LOE), and Shallow Dose Equivalent (SOE). The term DLR is inclusive of Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimeters (OSLDs) and Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLDs).
1.7 Err1ergency Action Levels - Parameter thresholds or sets of conditions used to classify an emergency. These parameters or conditions are indicators of the severity or potential severity of the emergency.
1.8 Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) - The Emergency Response Facility which is the focal point for overall NPPD Management of an emergency at CNS, and coordination of off-site radiological emergency operations. When activated, the EOF is under the direction of the EOF Director, who is responsible for maintaining continued coordination with governmental authorities regarding radiological consequences of an incident.
1.9 Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) - Defined area established around CNS for which emergency planning is set forth in detail. These are the areas in which the potential need for protective action(s) is recognized and addressed. The two EPZs are defined as the plume exposure pathway and ingestion exposure pathway.

- 2. SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY 2.1 The Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) Emergency Plan for CNS provides the mechanism to classify various types of emergencies and provides prior planning of emergency preparedness implementation actions. It delineates organized functions and responsibilities for the control and mitigation of an emergency to assure maximum protection of the public, station personnel, and plant equipment. This plan delineates responsibilities and actions to be taken by station, general office personnel, and other agencies during emergencies.
2.2 The Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs) designate responsibilities and define actions to be taken by assigned personnel in order to reduce or confine the consequences of an emergency. Appendix A provides the titles and summaries of the EPIPs.
2.3 The NPPD Emergency Plan interfaces with several State and Local Emergency Response Plans for areas that comprise the CNS Emergency Planning Zones (EPZs ).
Within the Nebraska portion of the 10-mile EPZ this Plan interfaces with the Nemaha County, Richardson County, and State of Nebraska Radiological Response Plans, as well as the Reception Area Plans for Otoe and Richardson Counties. Within the Missouri portion of the 10-mile EPZ, this plan interfaces with the Atchison County Nuclear Emergency Response Plan and the State of Missouri Nuclear Accident Plan.
For the 50-mile Ingestion Pathway EPZ, the NPPD plan interfaces with the Radiological Response Plans of the states of Iowa and Kansas, as well as those of Nebraska and Missouri. In the event of a radiological emergency, the State and Local Agencies are responsible for coordinating their efforts in dealing with radiological concerns beyond the CNS site boundaries.
2.4 In addition to State and Local support, Federal agencies may also provide assistance in accordance with the National Response Framework (NRF) (i.e., Department of Homeland Security (OHS), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Energy (DOE), Coast Guard, and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)). The NRC, acting as the coordinating agency, has technical leadership for the Federal government's response to an event.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 10 OF 194
2.5 The protection of the health and safety of the general public is the prime concern; accordingly, the appropriate Local, State, and Federal Agencies will be supported by NPPD to the fullest extent practical.

SUMMARY
OF THE NEBRASKA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT (NPPD) CNS EMERGENCY PLAN 3.1 Nuclear power plant emergency plans are required to fulfill the requirements of 10CFR50.47 and Appendix E. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is required to determine the adequacy of the licensee Emergency Plan. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is required to determine the adequacy of State and Local Plans. Together, the two agencies determine the adequacy of overall emergency preparedness.
3.2 The CNS Emergency Plan has been structured with NRC and FEMA guidance contained in NUREG-0654, Rev. 1 (FEMA-REP-1 ), "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants", Revision 1, November 1980. Appendix B of this plan provides a cross-index of the CNS Emergency Plan to NUREG-0654, Rev. 1 (FEMA REP 1 ).
3.3 The plan delineates the organization for emergencies, provides the methodology for classifying emergencies according to severity, defines and assigns responsibilities and authorities, and outlines measures to mitigate the consequences of an accident and minimize effects on the health and safety of the public and station personnel. In addition, the plan presents a general approach and organization for station recovery.
3.4 Radiological emergency planning for CNS has been coordinated with State and Local Emergency Response Agencies. The States of Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas, as well as the appropriate local government agencies which would be involved in emergency response operations, are aware of the emergency response measures described in the CNS Emergency Plan and will be advised of changes or modifications to these measures resulting from plan reviews and audits.
3.5 The CNS Emergency Response Organization (ERO) is responsible for on-site emergency operations and for maintaining a continuous fiow of accurate radioiogicai and station status information to off-site emergency authorities.
3.6 Sections of the Emergency Plan in the balance of this document detail the emergency preparedness program. The contents of those sections are summarized below:
- Section 4 - Emergency Conditions - Describes emergency classifications, initiating events, emergency actions levels, and corresponding NPPD and State and Local actions in response to each emergency classification. Emergency action levels and corresponding actions noted are based upon design and operating characteristics specific to CNS and described in NRC Endorsed Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Document 99-01, Revision 6, Methodology For Development of Emergency Action Levels.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 11 OF 194
- Section 5 - Organizational Control of Emergencies - Describes the function and responsibilities of the CNS emergency response organization. Interfaces with off-site emergency agencies are defined and specified. This section also defines the specific assignments of personnel and identifies local and contract support service arrangements.
- Section 6 - Emergency Measures - Describes the activation of the emergency response organization, assessment of plant conditions, initiation of protective and corrective actions on-site, recommendation of protective actions off-site, and measures to aid injured or contaminated personnel.
- Section 7 - Emergency Response Facilities and Equipment - Describes facilities, emergency response equipment, and communications systems (on-site and off-site) available to assess emergency conditions, support emergency operations, notify off-site support agencies, provide aid to injured or contaminated personnel, and to control and mitigate incident-related damage.
- Section 8 - Maintaining Emergency Preparedness - Describes the Emergency Preparedness Department and Emergency Preparedness Training Program, emergency drills and exercises, methods to review and update the Emergency Plan, and the process to maintain an adequate inventory of emergency equipment and supplies. This section also outlines methods used to provide emergency preparedness information to the general public.
- Section 9 - Recovery - Defines, in general terms, post-emergency re-entry and recovery plans and organization. Recovery operations are divided into short-term activities, which are conducted during and immediately after an emergency, and long-term recovery activities, which comprise the more involved post-emergency efforts to return the station to a normal operating status.
- Appendix A contains summaries of each EPIP and a cross-reference to the appropriate section of the CNS Emergency Plan.
- Appendix B contains the cross-reference of the CNS Emergency Plan to NUREG-0654; Rev 1; (FEMA REP 1 ).
- Appendix C contains maps and other references which depict evacuation routes, environmental sampling points, population distribution, etc., as defined in NUREG-0654, Rev. 1 Section J.10.(a) and (b)
- Appendix D contains a listing of the Letters of Agreement maintained with off-site support agencies. The Emergency Plan signature page verifies that current Letters of Agreement are maintained in the Emergency Preparedness files as specified in Appendix D.
- Appendix E contains a list of supplies and emergency equipment typical of the inventory kept in the emergency response equipment lockers and storage areas.
- Appendix F contains a listing of the interfacing emergency response plans of the various Local, State, and Federal Support Agencies.

- 4. EMERGENCY CONDITIONS CNS maintains the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant Operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded and shall promptly declare the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level.
The types of emergencies considered in the CNS Emergency Plan are classified into four categories as recommended in Emergency Action Level Guidelines for Nuclear Power Plants, Appendix 1, NUREG-0654, Rev. 1. The initiating conditions of NRC endorsed document NEI 99-01, Revision 6, "Methodology For Development of Emergency Action Levels", as well as the postulated accidents described in Chapter XIV of the Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) Updated Safety Analysis Report, have been considered in developing the criteria presented in Section 4.1. Tables 4.1-1 through 4.1-4 provide specific Emergency Action Levels. Emergency Action Levels and corresponding classifications are included in EPIP 5.7.1, Emergency Classification.
Each successive classification is more severe. This classification system results in responses that are both timely and appropriate for a wide range of emergency conditions.
There are three principal advantages of the graded classification system:
- To assure timely notification of particular events which could lead to significant consequences should events continue to deteriorate, which might be indicative of more serious conditions not fully appreciated at the time of discovery.
- To provide an assessment of the actual or likely implications of the event which can be clearly communicated to various affected parties during the early stages of the event.
- To provide a means for setting in motion appropriate, prearranged, near-term emergency actions by affected parties.
4.1 CLASSIFICATIONS The four classifications of emergencies are:
- UNUSUAL EVENT
- ALERT
- SITE AREA EMERGENCY
- GENERALEMERGENCY The fundamental logic connecting the four classifications of emergencies is to provide an escalating gradation of events related to the severity of their consequences.
Section 5 of the CNS Emergency Plan provides a description of the portions of the Emergency Response Organization which will be activated in the event of an UNUSUAL EVENT, ALERT, SITE AREA EMERGENCY, or GENERAL EMERGENCY.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 13 OF 194
4.1.1 UNUSUAL EVENT 4.1.1.1 Events are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring off-site response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. These types of events may progress to a more severe emergency classification if they are not mitigated. Therefore, appropriate off-site agencies will be notified of such events in order to be better prepared for response if the event should progress 'to a more severe classification.
4.1.1.2 The purpose of this classification and its associated off-site notifications is to assure that the first step in any response later found to be necessary has been initiated. This brings the operating staff into a state of readiness, and provides a systematic handling of information and decision-making. These conditions may not be particularly significant from an emergency or safety standpoint, but have the potential to increase in significance from a safety standpoint if proper action is not taken or if circumstances beyond the control of the operating staff render the situation more serious. Upon declaration of an UNUSUAL EVENT, key on-site personnel, as well as specified management within NPPD will be notified (see Section 7.4 ). The UNUSUAL EVENT is maintained until the event is terminated or an escalation to a more severe emergency class is required.
4.1.1.3 Table 4.1-1 lists Emergency Action Levels and Table 4.1-5 lists expected actions for the UNUSUAL EVENT classification.
4.1.2 ALERT 4.1.2.1 Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION.
Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels. At this classification, minor releases of radioactivity may occur or may have occurred. Operator modification of station operating status is a probable corrective action if such modification has not already been accomplished by automatic protection systems.
4.1 .2.2 Upon declaration of an ALERT, notifications will be made (see Section 7.4 ). Notifying off-site agencies at an ALERT classification assures emergency personnel are readily available to respond if the situation becomes more serious, or to perform confirmatory radiation monitoring, if required. The TSC, EOF, and OSC are manned and activated at the declaration of an ALERT.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 14 OF 194
4.1.2.3 The ALERT status is maintained until the event is downgraded, terminated, or escalated to a more severe emergency class.
4.1.2.4 Table 4.1-2 lists Emergency Action Levels and Table 4.1-6 lists expected actions for the ALERT classification.
4.1.3 SITE AREA EMERGENCY 4.1.3.1 Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary. The SITE AREA EMERGENCY reflects conditions where there is a clear potential for significant releases of radioactive material, or such releases are in progress, but a core meltdown is not indicated based on current information.
4.1.3.2 Upon declaration of a SITE AREA EMERGENCY, non-ERO personnel are evacuated, monitoring teams are dispatched, off-site authorities are apprised of the emergency, the JIC is manned and activated, and periodic updates to the public are provided.
4.1.3.3 The SITE AREA EMERGENCY status is maintained until the event is downgraded, terminated, or escalated to a GENERAL EMERGENCY.
4.1.3.4 Table 4.1-3 lists Emergency Action Levels and Table 4.1-7 lists expected actions for the SITE AREA EMERGENCY classification.
4.1.4 GENERAL EMERGENCY 4.1 .4.1 Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTiLE ACTlOf\J that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels off-site for more than the immediate site area. The GENERAL EMERGENCY reflects conditions that may affect the general public. The GENERAL EMERGENCY declaration initiates pre-determined protective actions for the public, provides information to the appropriate state, local, and federal authorities, initiates additional measures as indicated by actual or potential releases, provides for coordination with off-site authorities, and provides periodic updates for the public.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 15 OF 194
4.1.4.2 Upon declaration of a GENERAL EMERGENCY, an automatic minimum protective action recommendation of evacuation for a 2-mile radius and 5 miles downwind, unless conditions make evacuation dangerous, and advise remainder of plume EPZ to go indoors to monitor EAS broadcasts will be made to state or local authorities. If conditions make evacuation dangerous, sheltering may be recommended as alternative protective action. Consider recommending evacuation of extended distances if conditions dictate.
4.1.4.3 The GENERAL EMERGENCY status is maintained until the event is downgraded or terminated.
4.1 .4.4 Table 4.1-4 lists Emergency Action Levels and Table 4.1-8 lists expected actions for the GENERAL EMERGENCY classification.
4.2 OFF-SITE RADIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT 4.2 .1 The station will perform a preliminary assessment of the off-site consequences of an emergency. This preliminary assessment includes estimation by analytical methods of radiation dose rate, projected integrated dose for sectors and downwind distances, and a determination of the appropriate emergency classification.
4.2.2 The primary method for determining the radioactive release rate uses monitored release points. Effluent radiation monitor readings are available for the Elevated Release Point, Turbine Building Vent, Reactor Building Vent,,and Radwaste/Augmented Radwaste Building Vents.
4.2.3 The elevated release point release rate can be determined by correlating the exposure rates on high range radiation monitors in the drywell to those which have been calculated assuming a Design Basis Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA). The LOCA calculations are based on the NUREG-0737 assumptions that of the maximum full power equilibrium isotopic inventories, 100% of the noble gases, 25% of the halogens, and 1% of the remaining particulates are instantaneously released to the atmosphere of the primary containment. The entire release is assumed to be through the Standby Gas Treatment System and out the elevated release point. Other methods may be used as described in EPIP 5.7.16.
4.2.4 The dose rate and integrated dose are based on duration of release, release rates, meteorological data, and atmospheric dispersion factors.
4.2 .5 The radioiodine concentration is obtained by multiplying the radioiodine release rate by the dispersion factor. The Committed Dose Equivalent (COE) is determined by multiplying the air concentration by the exposure time and then by the dose conversion factor.
4.2.6 The noble gas concentration is obtained by multiplying the noble gas release rate by the dispersion factor. The Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) is determined by multiplying the air concentration by the exposure time and then by the appropriate dose conversion factor.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE160F194
4.2.7 Upon activation of the EOF and the State Emergency Operations Centers, the affected state assumes primary responsibility for confirmatory and continuing off-site radiological assessment. This is accomplished by dispatching state Field Monitoring Teams and by analyzing data provided by the CNS Field Monitoring Teams. CNS will deploy Field Monitoring Teams for initial off-site monitoring prior to the arrival of responding State Field Monitoring Teams.
These CNS teams may remain in the field to assist the state field monitoring teams.
4.3 SPECTRUM OF POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS AND INITIATING EVENTS 4.3.1 A number of accident scenarios which might occur at CNS have been analyzed in Chapter XIV of the CNS Updated Safety Analysis Report and within the Transnuclear NUHOMS Updated Final Safety Analysis Report for both severity of consequence and probability of occurrence. These types of accidents reflect the design characteristics of a Boiling Water Reactor and spent fuel storage installation and are addressed in Tables 4.1-1 through 4.1-4 and in EPIP 5.7.1 from the standpoint of initiating conditions, Emergency Action Levels, and subsequent emergency classification.

EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 46 OF 194
5.4.3 THE STATES OF KANSAS/IOWA The States of Kansas and Iowa may also play an active role in responding to an emergency at CNS. While neither state is within the 10 mile EPZ, they are located within the 50 mile Ingestion Exposure Pathway. As such, NPPD will maintain liaison with the appropriate officials of these states and provide information and recommendations as the situation dictates.
More detailed information can be found in the Emergency Response Plan of each respective state.
5.4.4 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION The NRC regulates nuclear activities to protect the health and safety or the public and to preserve environmental quality and has developed an Incident Response Plan to ensure that its statutory responsibilities are fulfilled.
The responsibilities assigned by the NRC plan are exercised through a set of implementing procedures that delineate the manner in which each function will be performed, the criteria to be used in making each decision, and the information needed for both.
When NPPD notifies the NRC of an emergency, the initial NRC response is to ascertain the status of the station and monitor emergency response activities to assure that the public and the environment are fully protected. The NRC will measure off-site radiological effects and develop projections of on-site and off-site effects for the use of other federal, state, and local agencies. The NRC may offer specific advice to NPPD to help solve or limit the consequences of the problem. The NRC is prepared to amend or change CNS Technical Specifications or to issue formal orders if NPPD should fail to take whatever actions the NRC deems necessary to protect the public.
The Chairman of the Commission is the senior NRC authority for all aspects of emergency response and will become the "Director" of all NRC activities and personnel.
Normally, the Chairman will delegate responsibilities to a "Deputy Director" upon activation of the Operations Center. The Deputy Director will carry out the delegated responsibilities unless the Chairman specifically directs otherwise.
Together, the Director and Deputy Director assure that preplanned actions commence and identify other necessary actions unique to the particular incident. Headquarters and region teams will carry out these actions.
The Director may appoint an NRC "Director of Site Operations" as soon as a qualified official arrives at the site, assesses the situation, and reports back to the Director. The Director may also delegate one or more of the following authorities to the Director of Site Operations:
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 47 OF 194
- Authority to recommend actions to the licensee.
- Authority to direct the licensee to take specific actions.
- Authority to recommend actions off site, including protective measures for the public.
Other officials and organizations will be immediately informed of the appointment and delegated authority. The Director of Site Operations will assume supervision of all NRG personnel at the site, will represent the NRG in interactions with other agencies, and will decide what response actions must be taken, consistent with the delegated authority.

- 6. EMERGENCY MEASURES Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) emergency measures will be conducted in accordance with the particular emergency classification at Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS).
This section of the plan (1) discusses emergency alarms and evacuation, (2) identifies segments of the station emergency organization that will be activated at each class of emergency, (3) details methods and procedures for assessment actions, (4) specifies actions to correct or minimize the emergency situation, (5) describes protective actions to prevent or minimize radiological exposure, and (6) discusses aid to affected personnel.
6.1 SITE EMERGENCY ALARMS When an emergency condition exists that could affect the safety of station personnel, the appropriate alarm will be manually activated and an announcement made from Control Room. If the condition involves a fire, the fire alarm will be activated and designated personnel will respond. If the condition results in an emergency declaration, the emergency alarm will be activated and an announcement made.
The condition of the emergency will dictate what directions will be given during the announcement. Site Security personnel may assist in notification of personnel on NPPD property.
6.2 NOTIFICATION AND ACTIVATION OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATIONS The four classes of emergencies defined in Section 4 require a varying degree and scope of emergency response. The appropriate parts of the emergency response organization activated in each emergency classification are presented in Section 5.
The transition from the normal operating organization to the emergency response organization involves the following steps:
- Notify the emergency response organization members who are off-site, or are on-site but may not be aware of the emergency, that their assistance is required.
- Fill emergency response positions on an interim basis with personnel who are immediately avaiiabie at the time of the emergency.
- Fill positions in the emergency organization with ERO members as they arrive at the various Emergency Response Facilities.
6.2.1 ON-SITE PLANT PERSONNEL Plant personnel on-site are notified by an emergency alarm and announcement as described in Section 6.1 and EPIP 5.7.2.
6.2.2 OFF-SITE PLANT PERSONNEL Plant personnel (ERO) off-site are notified in accordance with EPIP 5.7.2. This is normally accomplished via the CNS Automated Notification System. A listing of telephone numbers for notification of ERO members is maintained by the Emergency Preparedness Department.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 56 OF 194
6.2.3 JOINT INFORMATION CENTER (JIC)
EPIPs 5.7.2, Emergency Director EPIP, and 5.7.6, Notification, define how General Office personnel are notified. Depending upon the situation, the JIC may be activated. Personnel notification schemes and procedures for activating this facility are contained in EPIP 5.7 .23.
6.2.4 OFF-SITE AUTHORITIES AND SUPPORT AGENCIES When an emergency classification is declared, CNS will initiate pre-determined notifications as defined in EPIP 5.7 .6. Initial notifications to responsible State and Local Governmental Agencies will be completed within 15 minutes of the declaration of an emergency. The contents of initial and follow-up notifications are set forth in EPIP 5.7.6, and contain information about the class of emergency, release information, potentially affected population areas, and protective action recommendations. Follow-up communications with off-site authorities will consist of periodic messages containing additional information as described in EPIP 5.7.6.
Notifications to responsible State and Local Governmental Authorities are normally accomplished via the CNS State Notification Telephone System.
Off-site authorities, as well as technical support groups likely to be consulted in an emergency, are listed in the Emergency Telephone Directory.
6.2.5 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (NRC)
Notification of the NRC Operations Center for all emergency classification levels is normally accomplished via the Federal Telecommunication System Emergency Notification System (FTS-ENS) in accordance with EPIPs 5.7.6 and 5.7ENS.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 57 OF 194
6.3 ASSESSMENT ACTIONS The assessment of station conditions, radiation levels, and off-site consequences is initially conducted by the Control Room. Radiological dose assessment can also be performed in the Control Room, as necessary. The Shift Manager, in the role of Emergency Director, activates the emergency response organization described in Section 5 per EPIP 5.7.2. Assessment actions described in Table 6.3-1 will continue throughout the emergency. These assessments may result in reclassification, which could alter emergency response actions.
CNS has systems for monitoring radioactive materials released to the environment, and is equipped with process and system monitors capable of assessing radiological conditions and initiating appropriate alarms or actuating control equipment for containment of radioactive materials if pre-established limits are reached. These systems will monitor radioactive releases during accident conditions.
6.3.1 POST-ACCIDENT SAMPLING SYSTEM Samples of both reactor water coolant and drywell atmosphere can be drawn using Post-Accident Sampling System. This system allows personnel to safely take samples and conduct analyses, while keeping radiation dose to personnel within specified limits. Samples collected and analyzed will provide information, which may indicate reactor conditions such as cladding failure, effects from high fuel temperature, or fuel melting.
6.3.2 METEOROLOGICAL DATA The site has meteorological instrumentation, which indicates and records wind speed, wind direction, and temperature differentials on a continuous basis.
Detailed information on this system can be found in Section 7 .5.2. A continuous readout of this information is available on the Plant Management Information System (PMIS). In the event that meteorological information from this primary source is unavailable, meteorological information is available from the National Weather Service.
6.3.3 DOSE ASSESSMENT CNS has the capability of performing dose projections during a radiological emergency using two separate techniques:
- CNS-DOSE: CNS-DOSE, a computerized class 'A' model, is the primary method of performing rapid dose projections (predictions) in order to develop protective action recommendations during the early accident phase within the plume exposure EPZ. The program is operated on plant computers and can make use of current meteorological and radiological effluent monitor readings as well as manually entered data.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 58 OF 194
- HAND CALCULATION: A manual calculation, derived from the methodology utilized by CNS-DOSE, is the backup method for performing dose projections in order to develop protective action recommendations during the early accident phase within the plume exposure EPZ. Input data is taken from the same resources as the computerized method. Both centerline and off-centerline calculations can be performed.
Once the EOF is operational, dose projection and assessment responsibilities are transferred from the Control Room to this facility. The TSC also has the capability to perform dose assessments.
Off-site concentrations of radionuclides and radiation dose rates are determined by NPPD and State Field Monitoring Teams. Once the EOF is operational, Field Monitoring Teams are deployed with portable radiological instrumentation (air samplers and radiation survey meters) and communications equipment in vehicles designated for this purpose. The field instrumentation used for airborne activity monitoring has the capability to detect radioiodine concentrations as low as 1.0x10-7 µCi/cc (microcuries per cubic centimeter). Field information is used to validate dose projections and to assist in determining the adequacy of protective actions.
6.4 CORRECTIVE ACTIONS Instrumentation and Control Systems monitor, provide indications and alarms, record, and automatically control systems necessary for the safe operation of the station.
Control and display of information from these systems is centralized in the Control Room. Displays are also available in the TSC and EOF. This instrumentation is a source of information used to determine emergency classification as shown in Tables 4.1-1 through 4.1-4, and EPIP 5.7 .1 (Emergency Classification), and may provide entry conditions for Abnormal Operating Procedures (AOPs), Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) or Severe Accident Guidelines (SAGs). AOPs, EOPs, and SAGs contain steps for preventive and/or corrective actions to avoid or mitigate consequences of an emergency.
During a declared emergency, corrective actions are performed by the ERO under the direction of the Emergency Director. These corrective actions are designed to (1) terminate the accident, (2) mitigate or eliminate potential hazards to the public and station personnel, (3) restore the plant to a safe and stable condition, and (4) de-escalate the emergency classification. The potential nature of some emergencies may warrant the utilization of off-site individuals, organizations, and agencies. As a result, local support service arrangements have been made with off-site groups to provide on-site aid in the event of an emergency situation, including those resulting from hostile actions. Corrective actions may also involve response by the following:
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 59 OF 194
- FIRE BRIGADE The CNS Fire Brigade will respond to station fire calls. The Fire Brigade is composed of the Fire Brigade Leader, two Station Operators, and two other individuals qualified as Fire Brigade members, in accordance with station procedures. If off-site firefighting assistance is required, including that caused by hostile action, fire response including fire apparatus and firefighters will normally be requested by the CNS Control Room to the Nemaha County 911 Dispatch Center and implemented using the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
Mutual aid may also be requested via the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency. Off-Site Fire Department(s) will be escorted to the fire scene by Security personnel upon arrival.
- REPAIR AND DAMAGE CONTROL TEAM For minor emergencies, station personnel will handle cleanup, repair, and damage control. For more severe emergencies, the support of additional NPPD personnel or specialized outside contractors may be required to assist in damage control, cleanup, and repair operations.
6.5 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS On-site actions to protect station personnel and visitors during a declared emergency are the responsibility of the Emergency Director. Measures for the protection of the general public are detailed in the State Emergency Response Plans.
Protective actions for on-site personnel will be taken whenever a radiological emergency has occurred, or may occur, which might result in concentrations of airborne activity or radiation levels in excess of pre-determined limits. Protective actions will also be taken for on-site personnel in other emergency situations such as fires, floods, tornadoes, or security related events where personnel safety is threatened. A range of protective actions to protect on-site personnel during hostile action is provided to ensure the continued ability to safely shut down the reactor and perform the functions of the emergency plan. An alternative facility, with communication capabilities for contacting the Control Room, plant security, and the EOF is available to serve as a staging area for Augmented Emergency Response Staff if the site is not accessible or the site is under threat of or experiencing hostile action. Activation of Emergency Response Facilities, assembly and accountability activities, and evacuation of site personnel may be delayed if it is determined by the Emergency Director that personnel safety would be threatened. In this situation, on-site personnel will be notified of these events by the station alarms, telephone calls, or public address system announcements, as applicable. Personnel will be notified of appropriate protective actions to be taken as soon as assessment actions permit a proper evaluation of conditions.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 60 OF 194
Following the instructions and using the procedures referenced in EPIP 5. 7 .20, the Radiological Control Manager will determine if the projected downwind doses indicate a need to implement any type of protective actions. If the results of the analysis indicate a need to implement protective actions, he will inform the Emergency Director of his findings and together they will decide if protective action recommendations are warranted.
The Emergency Director will provide protective action recommendations to off-site authorities. Protective actions for off-site areas are implemented by State and Local Government Emergency Response Organizations. These actions may include evacuation or in-house shelter. Factors such as release duration, mobilization time, or adverse weather will be important considerations affecting protective actions. The action which affords the lower radiation dose is preferred. Approximate initiation times for protective actions are shown in Table 6.4-2.
Within the Plume Exposure Pathway, an Alert and Notification System (ANS) has been installed. Residents of this EPZ have been instructed to tune to their local Emergency Alert System radio station for further instructions when the ANS is activated. This system was established to meet the prompt notification requirements established by the NRG and was designed for response to any disaster where prompt notification of the public is desirable. The design basis and rationales for the ANS is in the ANS Design Report. Details pertaining to physical and administrative controls of this system are also found in this document.
The ANS includes fixed sirens and digitally-activated National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Emergency Alert System (NOAA/EAS) Radio Receivers.
These radio receivers are made available to residences located within the Plume Exposure Pathway, but outside the hearing range of the fixed sirens. The radios are pre-tuned to an EAS station and are automatically activated when the EAS is activated. Special use or remote area notification is discussed in the CNS ANS Design Report. State and Local Plans have provisions for notifying the transient population within the Plume Exposure Pathway.
EPIP 5.7.27 describes how the system will be activated in the event of an emergency.
Local and/or state governments are responsible for implementation of notification/warning actions. Normally, public warning information will be disseminated as directed by the Governor or his Authorized Representative. However, the Notification System provides for local government decision and initiation of notification/warning actions, especially in the event of a major nuclear power plant incident. Local governments may make decisions based on the recommendations of NPPD Management or state representatives.
As indicated in EPIP 5.7 .27, pre-arranged messages are used when instructing the general public on what actions should be taken. Approximately 15 minutes will be required to notify the public from the time the decision has been made to activate the system to the time required to broadcast a message.
EPIP 5.7.27 .1 describes how a malfunctioning NOAA/EAS radio will be repaired or replaced.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 61 OF 194
Back-up ANS methods have been established and are implemented by the Local Emergency Management Agencies. The back-up ANS for Atchison County, Missouri is Route Alerting. Route Alerting maps can be found in Atchison County Transportation and Fire Department procedures. Atchison County also uses social media to provide emergency alerts to the public, as a back-up method. Instructions for Route Alerting and the use of social media can be found in the Atchison County procedures. The 10-mile EPZ population in Missouri is approximately 2,215 people based on the current Cooper Nuclear Station Evacuation Time Estimate. Based on the guidance contained in the above procedures*, there is reasonable assurance that back-up ANS can be completed within the target time of 45 minutes. The back-up ANS for Nemaha and Richardson Counties in Nebraska is the cloud-based mass notification service "Southeast Nebraska Emergency Notification System (SEN ENS)".
This system can send emergency messages to geo-coded (by address) telephones throughout the EPZ. Otoe County Emergency Management Agency is the sponsor of this system. The primary activation points for this system are located at the Nemaha County Emergency Management office, the Richardson County Emergency Management office, and the Otoe County Emergency Management office. Multiple activation points offer the advantage of back-up activation capability should one activation point lose activation capability. The 10-mile EPZ population in Nebraska is approximately 1,800 people based on the current Cooper Nuclear Station Evacuation Time Estimate. Thus, including the potential addition of households that have land-lines and cellular communication voice or SMS text devices, plus business and institutional addresses correspond to a maximum expected number of contacts to be made, there is reasonable assurance that back-up ANS can be completed on an area-wide bases within the target time of 45 minutes.
6.5.1 RESCUE OPERATIONS The search and rescue function is handled by trained emergency response personnel. If station personnel are unaccounted for in the initial or subsequent personnel accountability, an emergency team will be assigned to locate and, if necessary, rescue them, observing the guidelines set forth in EPIP 5.7.15.
6.5.2 ON-SITE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES Protective equipment is available on-site to minimize radiological dose and contamination, as well as firefighting hazards. The types of equipment include full-face particulate respirators, self-contained breathing apparatus, protective clothing, and air-fed respirators.
This equipment is located in the normal station storage areas, and in or near the Control Room and the Emergency Response Facilities. An inventory of this equipment is contained in EPIP 5.7.21.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 62 OF 194
6.5.3 PERSONNEL ASSEMBLY AND ACCOUNTABILITY When the emergency alarm is sounded, site visitors, contractors, and non-ERO on-site personnel will proceed to their Designated Assembly Area. Emergency response personnel will report to their Emergency Response Facility or designated assembly area. The results of personnel accountability will be compiled and reported to the Emergency Director. In the event an individual cannot be located, search teams will be dispatched. Initial accountability will be completed within 30 minutes and continuous accountability will be maintained throughout the course of the emergency per EPIP 5. 7.10.
6.5.4 DISMISSAL AND EVACUATION When the emergency alarm is sounded, all personnel will proceed to their designated assembly area by the most direct route unless otherwise instructed to avoid specified areas. The classification and magnitude of the emergency will dictate which Emergency Response Facilities shall be activated, the areas of the site to be avoided, and the off-site support required.
Upon assembly and accountability of all personnel, it may be appropriate to dismiss specific personnel to go home, or necessary, to direct personnel to the alternate assembly point located in the Nemaha County Maintenance Facility.
All SITE AREA and GENERAL EMERGENCIES require evacuation of all non-ERO personnel. EPI P 5. 7 .11 provides the specific procedures to be followed in the event site dismissal or evacuation is required. Once the decision has been made to evacuate, non-ERO employees, contractors, and visitors can be evacuated and relocated to a remote assembly area within approximately one hour.
Personnel will not return to the station or deactivate Emergency Response Facilities until directed by the Emergency Director or until the "ALL CLEAR" signal is sounded by the Control Room.
6.5.5 CONTAMINATION AND DOSE CONTROL MEASURES 6.5.5.1 ON-SITE Measures will be taken to prevent ingestion of radioactive materials deposited within the Site Boundary. Affected areas will be isolated.
Details of contamination control measures for on-site areas are contained in Station Operation procedures.
The monitoring of the work environment within radiological control areas, including specific instructions, precautions, and limitations to personnel working within these areas is supervised by Radiological Protection personnel.
Food for emergency response personnel will be provided from off-site sources or from on-site supplies stored in a contamination resistant location.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 63 OF 194
Exposure to airborne radioactivity will be controlled in accordance with appropriate ALARA principles. Periodic air samples will be taken to assure that radioiodine and airborne contamination levels are known.
Radioprotective tablets (Potassium Iodide) are available for voluntary use by NPPD personnel. NPPD may also provide radioprotective tablets to non-NPPD emergency response organizations for distribution to their emergency workers (i.e., the requesting organization has inadequate supplies). Administration of these tablets to non-NPPD personnel will be the responsibility of these non-NPPD organizations. Any NPPD distribution of radioprotective tablets will be made at the direction of the Emergency Director.
EPIP 5.7.14 provides further information on the use and distribution of radioprotective (Potassium Iodide) tablets.
During an emergency, equipment and tools will be unconditionally released for use outside the area only if their radiation levels are less than 1 mrem/hr above background (fixed contamination) and 220 dpm/100cm2 alpha activity or 2200 dpm/100cm 2 beta-gamma activity above background (removable contamination).
6.5.5.2 OFF-SITE For areas beyond the site boundary, Nebraska and Missouri Radiological Monitoring Teams, in coordination with CNS Monitoring Teams, will identify contamination and radiation levels. For areas where public access normally occurs, criteria for off-site areas will be applied.
Criteria and measures for contamination control in off-site areas are detailed in the Nebraska and Missouri Emergency Plans.
6.5.6 SECURITY AND ACCESS CONTROL The CNS Security Plan is approved by the NRC and restricts access to the site.
Security personnel control access to the Protected Area and during declared emergencies, controi access to areas of the Owner Controlled Area.
A roadblock will be established on the Plant Access road. Personnel attempting to access the site will be informed of the situation and, if cleared, will be directed to the proper location.
For Security related emergencies, Local Law Enforcement Agency assistance may be requested.
6.6 AID TO AFFECTED PERSONNEL 6.6.1 EMERGENCY PERSONNEL DOSE CRITERIA Dose records for station personnel are maintained by the Radiological Protection Group and are accessible at the TSC. This information will be utilized in determining emergency team assignments. Criteria used for limiting EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 64 OF 194
dose to emergency workers are based on recommendations of the U.S. EPA and are shown in Table 6.4-1.
Emergency workers will wear dosimetry as required by Radiological Protection personnel. Emergency worker dosimetry will be provided on a 24-hour basis by Radiological Protection personnel. Every effort will be made to minimize emergency worker dose through the use of protective equipment and supplies, and by minimizing exposure time. The Chemistry/Radiological Protection Coordinator and the Maintenance Coordinator, with assistance of the OSC Supervisor, are responsible for making emergency team assignments. Only the Emergency Director may authorize emergency workers to receive dose in excess of 10CFR20 occupational limits. Personnel conducting corrective or protective actions or life-saving actions who may receive dose in excess of occupational limits should be selected from those who volunteer. Radiological Protection personnel are also responsible for providing self-reading and permanent dosimetry devices to emergency personnel assembled at the OSC and for assuring accountability of each worker's dose. Emergency radiation exposure is controlled in accordance with EPIP 5.7.12.
6.6.2 DECONTAMINATION AND FIRST AID Provisions have been made to assist personnel who are injured, contaminated, or who may have received high radiation doses. Station personnel are trained in first aid and portable first aid kits are available at strategic locations throughout the station. In addition, first aid lockers and decontamination facilities are provided within the station. In the event the above are not available during an emergency, the CNS Communications Building will be used as a first aid station and personnel decontamination center. Detailed information on personnel monitoring and decontamination, including radiological criteria is contained in Station Radiological Protection Procedures.
Personnel found to be contaminated will undergo decontamination under the direction of Radiological Protection personnel.
6.6.3 MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION A station ambulance is available for the transportation of injured personnel when station EMT's are available. This vehicle is reserved for emergency use to assure ready availability in time of need. During times when the station ambulance is unavailable due to the performance of preventative maintenance, malfunction, or other circumstances, backup medical transportation services shall be contacted and services requested when necessary.
The CNS ambulance is equipped with all required equipment and supplies required by the State of Nebraska for a licensed ambulance. The ambulance also has communications equipment for communicating with the Plant and Nemaha County Hospital. Ambulance attendants (Nebraska-certified EMTs or Paramedics) are trained to handle contamination cases. In addition, NPPD Radiological Protection personnel will accompany contaminated patients to the hospital. If off-site emergency medical response is required, including that caused by hostile action, emergency medical services including ambulances, EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 65 OF 194
and emergency medical technicians as requested by the CNS Control Room or TSC to the Nemaha County 911 Dispatch Center and implemented using the National Incident Management System (NIMS) has been arranged. Mutual aid may also be requested via the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency.
Off-site medical transport services will be escorted to the scene by Security personnel upon arrival.
6.6.4 MEDICAL TREATMENT FACILITIES The Shift Manager or his designee in accordance with EPIP 5.7.24 will notify the appropriate hospitals if injured personnel are to be transported from the site.
- Arrangements have been made with the hospitals listed below for care of injured personnel, including cases involving radiological contamination and radiation over-exposure. Selection of the hospital and medical assistance will be based on:
- Obtaining the most rapid access to the necessary medical services and facilities.
- Capabilities of the specific hospital to provide the required services.
- Accessibility due to weather and road conditions.
- Number of injured personnel to be transported.
- Preference of the injured personnel, if the type and severity of the injury permit.
- Except as otherwise dictated by the above conditions, hospitals and medical assistance will be utilized in the following order of priority, based on proximity to Cooper Nuclear Station:
- Nemaha County Hospital, 2022 13th Street, Auburn, Nebraska.
- University Nebraska Medical Center, Center for Clinical Excellence, East Side, 44th and Dewey, Omaha, Nebraska.
In accordance with Nebraska Statutes (85-805, 806, 807), Nebraska Public Power District supports the University of Nebraska Radiation Health Center and maintains the right to all services of the Radiation Health Center for, but not limited to:
- Specialized medical and related services for evaluation, treatment, and management of radiation casualties.
- Routine medical, radiation protection, consultation, and associated services.
- Educational programs for nuclear safety, with emphasis on preventive medicine and radiological protection.
Patients with radiological injuries beyond the scope of the local medical facilities will be transferred to the Radiation Health Center at the discretion of the local medical staff.

- 7. EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT This section of the CNS Emergency Plan describes the Control Room and the Emergency Response Facilities, including on-site and off-site communications systems, assessment equipment and facilities, protective facilities and equipment, first aid and medical facilities, and damage control equipment and supplies.
7.1 CONTROL ROOM Emergency assessment and control is initially directed from the Control Room by the Shift Manager prior to activation of the Technical Support Center (TSC). The Control Room is located in the Control Building and is equipped with an Emergency Bypass Ventilation System allowing habitability during Design Basis Accidents as defined in the Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) Updated Safety Analysis Report. The Control Room contains plant instrumentation, required technical drawings, CNS records, and communications equipment.
Communication equipment available for this facility is shown on Table 7.1-1.
7.2 EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACILITIES When activated, the following Emergency Response Facilities supplement the Control Room in assessing and controlling emergencies:
7.2.1 TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTER The TSC (Figure 7 .2-1) is the focal point for on-site emergency coordination and for directing and assisting the Control Room during station emergency conditions. The following functions are performed in the TSC:
- Provide management and technical support to station Operations personnel during an emergency.
- Relieve Operations personnel of duties not directly related to Reactor System manipulations (e.g., NRC notifications).
The TSC is located on the first floor of the Administration Building. Figure 7 .2-1 provides a layout of the TSC.
If the TSC should become uninhabitable, select TSC personnel would relocate to the Control Room. Remaining TSC personnel would report to the AOSC.
To protect personnel under most conditions, the TSC is provided with dedicated radiological protection and monitoring equipment capable of continuous indication of dose rates and airborne radioactivity concentrations. Local alarms provide early warning to TSC personnel.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 70 OF 194
The TSC Ventilation System is comparable to the Control Room Ventilation System.

Notification of responsible State and Local Governmental Agencies, and well as the NRG, will also be performed.
In an ALERT classification, the TSC, EOF, and OSC will be activated. Notification of state, local, and NRG authorities, as well as Station Management and Staff will be initiated.
SITE AREA EMERGENCY and GENERAL EMERGENCY classifications require complete activation of all Emergency Response Facilities, including State and Local Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs). The complete emergency response notification scheme, depicted in Figure 7.4-1, shall be initiated.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 76 OF 194
7.5 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT CAPABILITIES This section outlines the equipment available at CNS for the evaluation and assessment of emergency conditions. Some of this equipment is used in the initial evaluation and classification of the emergency as described in Section 4. Other equipment and capabilities described in this section are used in the assessment, mitigation, and subsequent analysis and monitoring of areas, equipment, and the environment. In some cases equipment may serve for both initial and continual assessment.
7.5.1 SEISMIC MONITOR A seismic event monitor and recorder is located in the Control Room. This instrument, in conjunction with assessment of equipment damage within the station, will be a primary factor in determining the emergency condition and classification as a result of a seismic occurrence. Detailed seismic information can be obtained from the Conservation and Survey Division of the University of Nebraska. Additional seismic information can be obtained from the U.S.
Geological Survey office of Earthquake Studies in Golden, Colorado.
7.5.2 METEOROLOGICAL MONITORING One meteorological monitoring site is located at a grade elevation of 889 feet above mean sea level. A 100-meter tower located approximately 2,655 feet from the northwest corner of the Reactor Building is used to gather the meteorological data. The 1 OD-meter tower has two independent Meteorological Monitoring Systems (A and B) and gathers data at three levels, 100 meters, 60 meters, and 10 meters. The redundant signal cables from the tower to the plant are located in either protected duct banks or directly buried in separated routings so that only one path can be interrupted at a time due to construction or other activities. Digital data is available through PMIS. The Meteorological Monitoring System is powered locally from the 12.5 kV ring bus and from MCC "L" in the event of a loss of off-site power condition. The system monitors and continuously records the following:
- \/\ ind speed and vvind directi-o-n are measured continuously at all to\"Jer levels. Wind system components include sonic anemometers and heaters.
The range for wind direction is 0-360° +/- 3°. The range for wind speed is 0-112 mph +/- 0.336 mph accuracy up to 11 mph with accuracy increase to
+/- 2% above 11 mph.
- The A and B Systems on the tower calculate 15-minute averages of Sigma Theta. Sigma Theta is calculated and updated every minute for the 15-minute time constant. The sigma theta values are then accessed by the Data Acquisition System.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 77 OF 194
- Air temperatures are monitored at all six locations on the tower. Each temperature system on the tower is comprised of a platinum RTD temperature probe and motorized aspirated radiation shield to monitor the temperature at the various levels. The estimation of atmospheric stability for the A and B Systems is then calculated based on the vertical temperature difference between the 100-meter, 60-meter, and 10-meter tower elevations. The range and accuracy are -58 to +122°F +/- 0.18°F not to exceed 0.18°F between tower vertical calibration points.
- Dewpoint is calculated using output from an aspirated humidity sensor and ambient temperature measurement at the ten-meter level on the tower.
- Precipitation is measured using an electrically heated rain and snow gauge located near the base of the tower. This gauge uses the tipping bucket method to measure all forms of precipitation. The instrument has an accuracy of+/- 1% from 1 to 3 inches/hour and 3% overall from O to 6 inches/hour.
Backup meteorological data may be obtained from the National Weather Service Office located in Valley, Nebraska, which offers projected windspeed, wind direction, and temperature up to the 10,000-foot level. Information can be obtained by telephone or NAWAS.
7.5.3 MISSOURI RIVER MONITORING CNS is located on the Missouri River, river mile 532.5. This river is the only water source in the area that has the potential for causing major flood damage.
Operations personnel record the river level once per shift. Backup information concerning river level and flow is available from the U.S. Geological' Survey Station in Nebraska City, Nebraska, via the U.S. Geological Survey in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 78 OF 194
7.5.4 RADIOLOGICAL MONITORS CNS maintains a Radiological Protection Program and related radiological equipment in accordance with NRG Regulations, guidelines, and recommended practices. This program, including personnel, procedures, and equipment is periodically inspected by the NRG. The program provides manpower and equipment to evaluate, assess, and perform follow-up action for radiological emergencies. In addition to the equipment used in normal radiological controls, a special inventory of emergency equipment is maintained both on-site and off-site for emergency radiological response. State Radiological Health Departments, nearby nuclear plants, Federal Radiological Assistance Plan Teams, and private organizations such as the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations and General Electric may be requested to provide manpower and radiological monitoring equipment during an emergency situation. Equipment vendors may also be contacted to provide equipment needed in an emergency situation.
The instrumentation listed below at the described locations is used to evaluate radiological conditions and assess the radiological risks. Tables 4.1-1 through 4.1-4 may require the use of indications from these sources in classifying emergencies.
7.5.4.1 EFFLUENT RELEASE POINT MONITORS Each effluent release point is continuously monitored for particulates, radioiodines, and noble gases. The fixed filters and radioiodine absorbing charcoal cartridges may be changed and taken to the radiochemistry laboratory for analysis and release level determination.
Noble gas samples may also be taken and analyzed, or release rate versus monitor readings may be used to determine release rates for each effluent point. The CNS effluent monitors are capable of monitoring releases during normal and accident conditions.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 79 OF 194
7.5.5 MAIN STEAM LINE MONITORS The four main steam lines are continuously monitored for radiation level. This instrument system consists of four channels, which contain the following:
- An ionization chamber, used to measure the steam radiation level as it leaves primary containment.
- A logarithmic monitor with local readout located in the Control Room.
- An annunciator for low/inop, high, and high/high radiation readout located in the Control Room.
- A recorder is located in the Control Room and is provided to continuously monitor four channels. If radiation levels increase above the alarm setpoint, visual and audible alarms are actuated in the Control Room.
7.5.5.1 STEAM JET AIR EJECTOR MONITORS Off-gas radiation levels are continuously monitored by the Steam Jet Air Ejector Monitors. Each monitor system consists of an ionization detector with readouts and recorder in the Control Room. Calibration curves relate count rate and flow versus release rate at the Steam Jet Air Ejectors. This flow path is independently monitored at the Elevated Release Point by monitors described in Section 7.5.4.1.
Measurement is made upstream of the 30-minute holdup line. If the alarm setpoint is exceeded and the alarm does not clear within 15 minutes, the off-gas holdup line isolates and the reactor will be shutdown.
7.5.5.2 AREA RADIATION MONITORS Areas within CNS are monitored with permanently mounted Area Radiation Monitors. Many of these monitors have local level indications and local audible and visual alarms, including level indications and audible and visual alarm annunciation in the Control Room. Area Radiation Monitors are in locations that may be occupied by station personnel or where higher than normal radiation levels may indicate system malfunction. The alarm setpoints are based on the normal operational radiation background surrounding each individual monitor.
Any abnormal increase in radiation levels will produce an annunciator alarm in the Control Room. A continuous record of this monitor system is provided on a Control Room multipoint recorder. Area Radiation Monitors located inside the primary containment will alert personnel to abnormal radiation increases.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 80 OF 194
7.5.5.3 LIQUID RADIOACTIVITY MONITORS Changes in the levels of radioactive material within a liquid system with its subsequent radiation level change is normally monitored by the Area Radiation Monitor System. The Reactor Equipment Cooling System, the Radioactive Liquid Effluent Line, and the Service Water Cooling System each have detectors, which continuously monitor radioactivity level. A readout, visual and audible alarms, and recorder a*re provided in the Control Room.
7.5.5.4 CONSTANT AIR MONITORS In addition to the Gaseous Effluent Release Points described in Section 7 .5.4.1. Constant Air Monitor units analyze surrounding building air. These units filter the air onto fixed particulate filters or iodine filters and monitors them for radioactivity level. Two of these monitors are normally stationed on the refueling floor, one monitoring for particulate radioactivity and the other monitoring for Iodine activity. These Constant Air Monitors are mobile and may be stationed at strategic locations within the station. Each has a local activity readout and visual alarm functions.
7.5.5.5 PORTABLE AIR SAMPLING EQUIPMENT In addition to the constant air monitors described above, portable air sampling equipment is also available. Three basic types of portable air samplers are provided at the station. Particulate and iodine samplers, both high volume and low volume, may be used. These types of air samplers circulate air through a particulate filter and then through a radioiodine absorbing charcoal cartridge. The filters and charcoal cartridges are then analyzed for airborne radioactivity. Radioanalysis of these air samples are normally performed in the CNS Radiological Protection Counting Room or the Radiochemistry Laboratory.
Both silver zeolite charcoal and conventional charcoal cartridges are available for use with portable air samplers. The use of conventional cartridges requires the extra step of purging noble gases prior to analysis for radioiodines. Facilities to purge these gases are available in the Radiochemistry Lab. Air samplers are also available in the emergency lockers described in EPIP 5.7.21. The Nebraska and Missouri State Radiological Health Departments also have air-sampling equipment available for off-site surveys. In addition, nearby nuclear plants, as well as the Department of Energy (DOE) via the NRC, may be requested to provide air-sampling backup.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 81 OF 194
7.5.5.6 PROCESS MONITORS System readouts, scaled to provide normal and abnormal primary system parameter indications, are displayed in the Control Room. Such parameters include, but are not limited to, pressure, temperature, level indication, and flow rates. Each parameter will normally have alarm setpoints with audible and visual alarm capabilities when setpoints are exceeded. Particular instruments also have recorder capabilities, which serve as a record of system performance. Process monitors, their alarms, annunciators, and recorders, give indication of system performance. Process monitors serve as indicators to alert station personnel of emergency situations. Monitor indications, in conjunction with the Emergency Action Levels discussed in EPIP 5.7.1, are used to initiate emergency measures and aid in the evaluation and assessment of such emergency situations.
7.5.6 ENVIRONMENTAL RADIATION SURVEILLANCE The CNS Environmental Radiation Surveillance Program was initiated in 1970.
The initial phase determined background levels of radioactivity in the environment around CNS. The Environmental Radiological Program has continued throughout plant startup, pre-operational testing phases, and operation of the station.
This program basically consists of the aspects described below:
- Radiation monitoring within a ten-mile radius, which is accomplished by the use of Dosimeters of Legal Record (DLRs). In addition, the NRC and State Health Departments have placed thermoluminescent dosimeters in areas surrounding the station.
- Continuous air sampling is performed within a ten-mile radius of the station.
Air sampling stations collect airborne particulates on stationary filters, then pass this filtered air through charcoal cartridges to collect gaseous radioiodines.
- Sampies which are periodically taken for environmental radiological assessments include:
- Missouri River water samples.
- Ground water samples.
- Vegetation samples.
- Milk samples.
- Fish samples from Missouri River.
- Sediment from Missouri River shoreline.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 82 OF 194
The environmental program analyzes a wide variety of samples from the environment for radiological concerns. In case of an emergency affecting off-site radiological parameters, any phase of this program may be used to assess the situation. In addition, portable air sampling equipment for particulates and radioiodines is available for gaseous release emergencies; dose rate instruments and analytical capabilities are available for environmental assessment. The State(s) Department of Health, other nuclear plants, and the DOE via the NRC are also available to aid in environmental assessments.
7.5.7 RADIOANALYSIS LABORATORIES The radiochemistry laboratory and Radiological Protection Counting Room, located in separate buildings from the reactor, are used to analyze on-site and off-site emergency monitoring samples. These facilities are equipped with analytical instruments capable of measuring radionuclides and their associated emergency concentrations in environmental samples. Gross radiation level instrumentation is also available in the EOF. The State(s) Health Department and Omaha Public Power District's Fort Calhoun Nuclear Station may also be requested to assist in the analysis of environmental monitoring samples.
7.6 FIRE PROTECTION Although the Fire Protection System is not detailed in the CNS Emergency Plan, the type, location, and severity of a fire may prompt this Emergency Plan to be implemented. CNS maintains a Fire Protection System in accordance with NRC regulation$, ,which is periodically inspected by the NRC to verify fire protection capabilities. CNS has its own fire pumps with backup capabilities and distribution systems, including numerous hose and hydrant stations, automatic sprinkler system, and fire barriers. Materials used meet fire code requirements. An on-site emergency fire house containing portable fire fighting equipment is maintained and periodically inventoried. Smoke detectors, heat detectors, visual means, and Control Room annunciation of the fire system serve as indicators of fire location and severity.
7.7 EMERGENCY LOCKERS Emergency lockers containing respiratory protection equipment, air sampling equipment, survey equipment, and other emergency type equipment are located in the Control Room and the CNS Emergency Response Facilities. An emergency rescue locker is located in Administration Building, level 903' near the entrance to the RCA. EPIP 5.7.21 lists the locations and minimum inventory requirements for the emergency lockers, the station ambulance, and the Field Monitoring Team vehicles.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 83 OF 194
Respiratory protection equipment, protective clothing, survey equipment, sampling equipment, and other equipment for re-entry, rescue, or emergency operations will be provided from these emergency lockers if normal station supplies are not available. Radioprotective tablets (Potassium Iodide) are stocked in emergency lockers and are available on a voluntary basis to emergency response personnel as conditions dictate. These tablets will be distributed only with the permission of the Emergency Director.
These lockers will remain unlocked with a seal across the door, which will break when the doors are opened.
The contents of the lockers will be inventoried at least each calendar quarter and also after each use using EPIP 5.7.21. Any missing or expended items shall be replaced. A new seal will then be attached to the doors. Any time a locker seal is found broken, the contents of the locker will be promptly verified by inventory of the contents.
The procedures and associated attachments available in the emergency lockers will be updated as required.
7.8 HABITABILITY EQUIPMENT Control Room shielding and ventilation are designed to allow personnel habitability during Design Basis Accident Conditions. The TSC/OSC has shielding and ventilation similar to the Control Room for habitability during the course Qf an emergency. The TSC/OSC Ventilation System is not seismic qualified, redundant, instrumented in the Control Room, or automatically activated. In the unlikely event the OSC is not habitable, an Alternate OSC location is provided which has ventilation similar to the TSC/OSC. The EOF meets the habitability requirements of NUREG-0696 (Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities). Portable radiation monitoring instrumentation, communications equipment, respiratory equipment, and protective clothing are available in or near the Control Room, TSC, OSC, and AOSC.

This training includes notification procedures, basic radiation protection theory, and the identity, by position and title, of the individual in the on-site emergency organization who will control CNS emergency response activities.
8.1 .4 PUBLIC EDUCATION NPPD prepares educational material for annual distribution to the public within the 10-mile plume exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). The material is mailed to residents and is available for review at NPPD headquarters, CNS, the Nebraska State Emergency Management Agency, the Nebraska Department of Health - Division of Regulation and Licensure, and the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency. The material outlines the station's operational concept, defines the various classifications of emergencies, summarizes the emergency plan and procedures developed to safeguard the general public, reviews appropriate protective actions (i.e., in-house shelter, evacuation, etc.), and describes public warning signals and their meaning.
Facts about radiation and contacts for additional information are included. The material is reviewed annually by NPPD and State and Local Emergency Management Agencies and updated as required.
To provide for the notification and education of the transient population within the 10-mile EPZ, NPPD has provided numerous copies of the information to the following:
- Missouri Tourist Information Center.
- All American Campground and RV Park.
- All motels within the 10-mile EPZ.
- Indian Cave State Park.
- Brownville Historical Society.
In the event of an emergency at CNS, the owner, operator, etc., of each of these establishments has been instructed to distribute the material to any individuals occupying their facilities.
For special use areas within the EPZ, NPPD has made arrangements for the establishment of other means of notification of the transient population.
Informational bulletin boards and/or signs have been established at Brownville recreation area, Brick Yard Hill Wildlife Area, Steamboat Trace Trail and river access boat ramps. At Indian Cave State Park an informational brochure includes information on what actions should be taken in the event of an accident at CNS.

8.2 DRILLS AND EXERCISES Regular participation by station personnel in drills and exercises is designed to maintain emergency preparedness and test specific aspects of emergency plans, procedures, and equipment. Evaluation of these drills and exercises is conducted and revisions to the Emergency Preparedness Program are implemented to improve performance.
8.2.1 OFF-HOURS DRILLS OR EXERCISES Two drills or exercises, one of which shall be unannounced, will commence off-hours between 6:00 pm and 4:00 am during each eight-year cycle. These drills or exercises will be conducted during different seasons of the year. Scenarios used shall provide reasonable assurance that anticipatory responses will not result from preconditioning of participants. Scenarios must include a wide spectrum of radiological releases and events, including hostile action. Exercise and drill scenarios as appropriate must emphasize coordination among onsite and offsite response organizations.
8.2.2 EXERCISES An exercise is an event that tests the integrated capability and a major portion of the basic elements existing within the Emergency Plan.
Emergency exercises (required biennially) are conducted annually and simulate events th,':1t may result in off-site radiological releases to the extent requiring response"* by off-site authorities. In accordance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) rules, these exercises are conducted jointly with participating federal, state, and local government agencies to assure effective response to major emergency situations. These combined exercises are coordinated by the CNS Emergency Preparedness Department with State and Local Emergency Planning Personnel.
Objectives for joint exercises are developed by NPPD with the states of Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa as appropriate. Scenarios shail vary from exercise to exercise and are developed to ensure that essential portions of plans and organizations are tested within an eight-year cycle and to ensure that the scenarios include at least the following:
- Statement of basic objectives and evaluation criteria.
- Date, time, place, and participating organizations.
- Simulated events.
- Time schedule of initiating events.
- Narrative summary describing exercise particulars which may include such things as simulated casualties, off-site medical assistance, rescue of EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 95 OF 194
personnel, deployment of Radiological Monitoring Teams, and public information activities.
- Provision for proper utilization of observers.
Initial critiques will be held at each facility immediately following termination of the exercise. A synopsis of the exercise critique process is as follows:
Players critique their own performance, noting areas requiring improvement.
Evaluators then present their initial findings to the players. Players have the opportunity to provide evidence to the Evaluators of actions taken for which they did not receive credit. Evaluators then prepare their critique findings. This includes categorizing each finding using the following definitions.
Deficiency Demonstrated or observed inadequacies, whether a single isolated case or a collection of observations, that indicate the state of emergency preparedness is not adequate to protect the health and safety of the public.
Weakness Demonstrated or observed inadequacies, that require corrective action, but when considered by themselves do not adversely impact the health and safety of the public.
Improvement Items Demonstrated or observed problem areas that are not considered to adversely affect the health and safety of the public, but correction would enhance the ievel of preparedness.
Evaluators should help identify the root cause and, if possible, provide a solution for deficiencies. Evaluators should also help provide insights and/or solutions for weaknesses.
The Emergency Preparedness Department conducts a meeting of the Lead Evaluators where categorized critique items are formatted for presentation to CNS Sr. Management. Exercise findings are then presented to the NRC. The Emergency Preparedness Manager will ensure that Exercise findings are tracked and resolved as appropriate.
At the conclusion of joint exercises, FEMA, NRC, and State Observers will also conduct critiques. Formal evaluations of these exercises published by federal or state authorities will be reviewed by NPPD Management. Areas found to be deficient or weak will be identified and corrective actions implemented.
The Safety Review and Audit Board, as well as the NPPD Nuclear Independent Oversight Department, will perform periodic audits of the Emergency Preparedness Program and may serve as observers during exercises.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 96 OF 194
8.2.3 DRILLS A drill is a supervised instruction period aimed at testing, developing, and maintaining skills in a particular operation.
Emergency drills are conducted on a scheduled basis with emphasis placed upon the orderly implementation of activities prescribed within the Emergency Plan and EPIPs. Guidelines for administering drills are in place to ensure a quality drill program.
Drill performance is critiqued by personnel acting as drill Evaluators who may offer on-the-spot corrections to deficient performance. Each Evaluator is assigned to evaluate drill performance in a specific area of emergency response. A written evaluation of drill performance is provided to CNS Management by the Emergency Preparedness Manager.
Based on the results of these critiques, including participants' comments, follow-up action is then recommended by the Emergency Preparedness Manager, with action items assigned by the appropriate level of management.
Drills for the station staff are conducted periodically to: (1) test response timing and familiarity with implementing procedures and methods, (2) test emergency equipment, (3) ensure that emergency response organization personnel are familiar with their duties. Certain drills (i.e., fire, communications and notification, and medical emergency) are coordinated with off-site participating agencies. The Emergency Preparedness Manager has the overall responsibility for preparing, scheduling, and conducting emergency drills.
A brief description of the type of drills conducted at CNS follows:
8.2.3.1 FIRE DRILLS Fire drills are conducted in accordance with plant Fire Protection Program (FPP).
8.2.3.2 A medical emergency drill or exercise involving the treatment of a simulated contaminated person is conducted once per calendar year with provision for participation by local support service agencies.
8.2.3.3 RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING DRILLS These drills are conducted annually for on-site and off-site personnel assigned to radiation survey and Field Monitoring Teams. They shall include operation of instruments, tests of field communications equipment, interpretation of radiation readings, calculation of dose rates, collection of sample media (soil, water, vegetation, and air) and record keeping.
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 97 OF 194
8.2.3.4 RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTION DRILLS Radiological Protection drills are conducted semi-annually, generally in connection with joint exercises or radiological monitoring drills. They involve analyses of simulated elevated radiation levels, both liquid and airborne, as well as direct radiation measurements in the environment.
Analyses of in-plant liquid samples including the use of the Post-Accident Sampling System will be conducted on an annual basis.
8.2.3.5 COMMUNICATIONS DRILLS Communications systems are periodically tested during normal use, CNS security checks, and scheduled tests, as well as during emergency drills and exercises. The CNS telephone System, Microwave Communications System, Site Radio System, and Plant Intercom System are used daily during normal plant operation. The NRG ENS is tested daily by phone check from NRG Headquarters and monthly from CNS to NRG Headquarters from the Control Room, Technical Support Center (TSC), and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). The NRG Health Physics Network (HPN) direct telephone is tested monthly from the TSC and EOF. The State Notification Telephone System is tested monthly.
8.3 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS DEPARTMENT To ensure the maintenance and implementation of the Emergency Preparedness Program, several Emergency Preparedness positions at CNS have been established.
A CNS Emergency Preparedness Manager reports directly to the Director of Nuclear Safety Assurance. Emergency Preparedness Coordinator (EPC) positions have been established with each assigned a primary area of responsibility. Each EPC reports directly to the Emergency Preparedness Manager.

- 9. RECOVERY This section of the Emergency Plan describes the initiating conditions and transitional steps required to move from Emergency Response Organization operations into Recovery Operations. With the safety of the public and station personnel being of the utmost priority, recovery operations allow for a smooth transition from the Emergency Response Organization operations to normal day-to-day operations.
Recovery operations will include measures taken during and immediately following the emergency, as well as the longer term post-emergency efforts. These operations will be performed by station and other NPPD personnel, and if required, by contract technical and labor support. Manpower and equipment resources supporting the individual functional segments of the Recovery Organization will vary according to the severity of damage and specific situational needs.
The Emergency Director will evaluate the effectiveness of corrective actions and determine if the emergency is under control. The following station conditions will serve as general guidelines for decisions whether the emergency is under control:
- Radiation levels are stable or decreasing with time.
- Releases of radioactive materials to the environment have ceased or are controlled within permissible license limits.
- Fire, flooding, or similar emergency conditions no longer constitute a hazard to the station or station personnel.
- Measures have been successfully instituted to correct or compensate for malfunctioning equipment.
Based on the consideration of these criteria as well as other pertinent items, the Emergency Director shall determine when to activate the Recovery Panel.
9.1 RECOVERY PANEL If after evaluating the effectiveness of corrective actions, the Emergency Director determines that the emergency is under control, he will activate the Recovery Panel.
The panel may consist of the following personnel:
- Emergency Director.
- Executive Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer or designee.
- Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) Director.
- Technical Support Center (TSC) Director.
- Radiological Control Manager (EOF).
I EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 101 OF 194 j
Personnel acting on this panel can either be physically present or connected by telephone conference from their various Emergency Response Facilities. The purpose of the Recovery Panel is to evaluate emergency termination considerations, determine plant status parameters, and the planning and implementation of recovery operations. A time frame can then be established for securing emergency response and de-escalation of the emergency classification for recovery, if not already completed. Based upon this information, the Executive Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer or designee may initiate the Recovery Organization.
9.2 RECOVERY ORGANIZATION Once the decision has been made to activate the Recovery Organization, NPPD Emergency Response Facilities and their personnel shall be informed (via briefings, Public Address systems, telephones, etc.).
The JIC Director shall inform personnel at the JIC of the activation of the Recovery Organization. Depending upon the amount of media interest, the JIC may be deactivated at this time. Public Affairs duties and responsibilities would then be assumed by the Corporate Communications & Public Relations Manager and Staff.
Other personnel at the JIG return to their normal work stations and support the recovery effort through their normal position functions.
The Emergency Director or his alternate shall inform personnel in the EOF, TSC, OSC, and Control Room of the activation of the Recovery Organization.
Depending upon current conditions, any of these facilities may be deactivated at this time. Once deactivated, personnel in these facilities would return to their normal work stations and support the recovery effort through their normal position functions. The Recovery Organization is the same as the normal Nuclear Power Group Organization described in Section 5, except the Corporate Communications & Public Relations Manager and the Corporate Environmental Manager are included in the organization.
9.3 RECOVERY EXPOSURE CONTROL The General Manager of Plant Operations is responsible for ensuring that the Radiation Protection Manager evaluates the advisability of initiating re-entry.
Information on existing conditions, interviews with employees involved in the emergency, regulatory dose guidelines, and when necessary, counsel from recognized experts will be utilized in formulating decisions on re-entry. The development and evaluation of these operations will be under the direction of the General Manager of Plant Operations. General Office support personnel will aid in the requisition of technical assistance, increased manpower, and special equipment.
During recovery and re-entry operations, actions will be pre-planned to minimize the amount of radiation dose to personnel. Access to areas will be controlled and radiation dose will be documented. Estimates of total population dose will be coordinated with state and federal authorities.
I EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 102 OF 194 j
9.4 NUCLEAR SAFETY COMMITTEES Normal safety review organizations, Station Operations and Review Committee (SORC), and Safety Review and Audit Board (SRAB) will continue to function throughout all recovery activities.
9.4.1 STATION OPERATIONS REVIEW COMMITTEE (SORC)
An on-site nuclear safety committee is provided to review all matters pertaining to nuclear safety in the operation of the nuclear facility. This committee is advisory to the General Manager of Plant Operations and the chairman is designated in writing by the General Manager of Plant Operations. Committee membership, responsibilities, and authorities are detailed in Station Procedures.

APPENDIX A PROCEDURES IMPLEMENTING THE EMERGENCY PLAN Controlled copies of the CNS EPIPs are maintained in all Emergency Response Facilities.
Summaries of each EPIP and a cross-reference to the appropriate section of the CNS Emergency Plan is provided below.
5.7.1 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION This procedure provides a means of classifying an event into one of four emergency classifications as described in Section 4 of the Emergency Plan.
An EAL is a pre-determined, site specific, observable threshold for a plant Initiating Condition (IC) that places the plant in a given Emergency Classification Level (ECL). An EAL can be: an instrument reading; an equipment status indicator; a measurable parameter (on-site or off-site); a discrete, observable event; results of analyses; entry into specific Emergency Operating Procedures; or another phenomenon which, if it occurs, indicates entry into a particular emergency classification level. EALs are utilized to classify emergency conditions. To the extent possible, the EALs are symptom-based. That is, the action level threshold is defined by values of key plant operating parameters that identify emergency or potential emergency conditions. This approach is appropriate because it allows the full scope of variations in the types of events to be classified as emergencies.
However, a purely symptom-based approach is not sufficient to address all events for which emergency classification is appropriate. Particular events to which no pre-determined symptoms can be ascribed have also been utilized as EALs since they may be indicative of potentially more serious conditions not yet fully realized.
The CNS EAL methodology divides the EALs into 3 broad groups:
- EALs applicable under all plant operating modes - This group would be reviewed by the EAL-user any time emergency classification is considered.
- EALs applicable only under Modes 1, 2, or 3 - This group would only be reviewed by the EAL-user when the plant is in Hot Shutdown, Startup, or Power Operation mode.
- EALs applicable only under Modes 4, 5, or Defueled - This group would only be reviewed by the EAL-user when the plant is in Cold Shutdown, Refueling, or Defueled mode.
The purpose of the groups is to avoid review of EALs that cannot be applicable in the current operating mode of the plant. This approach significantly minimizes the total number of EALs that must be reviewed by the Emergency Director for a given plant condition and thereby speeds identification of the appropriate applicable EAL.
I EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 106 OF 194 I
APPENDIX A PROCEDURES IMPLEMENTING THE EMERGENCY PLAN Within each of the above three groups, assignment of EALs to categories/subcategories
- Category and subcategory titles are selected to represent conditions that are operationally significant to the EAL-user. Subcategories are used as necessary to further divide the EALs of a category into logical sets of possible emergency classification thresholds.
5.7.1.1 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION PROCESS This procedure provides instruction for the evaluation, classification and declaration of an emergency at Cooper Nuclear Station.
5.7.2 EMERGENCY DIRECTOR EPIP This procedure provides a series of actions to be taken upon declaration of an Emergency Classification. Personnel shall be directed to use additional procedures to adequately respond to an emergency event. Certain actions may still need to be performed by the Shift Manager, as requested by the Emergency Director, after command and control of the emergency response has been transferred to the EOF.
5.7.3 INCIDENT COMMAND POST (ICP) HOSTILE ACTION BASED EVENT ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES This procedure provides guidance on actions to be taken after a Hostile Action Based (HAB) Event has occurred or is occurring, including Incident Command Post (ICP) and Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) interface, communications with off-site agencies, and bringing off-site agencies into the Protected Area.
5.7.6 NOTIFICATION This procedure provides notification instructions to be followed upon declaration of an emergency condition. These include initial, follow-up, and event termination notifications to responsible State and Local Governmentai Agencies and NRC notifications prior to TSC activation.
Upon declaration of an emergency condition, all notifications and communications will be handled from the Control Room (CR) until the Technical Support Center (TSC) and/or the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) are activated. All telephone numbers needed for notification or follow-up information transmission are in the Emergency Telephone Directory located in the Control Room, Technical Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility, and other designated areas.
I EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 107 OF 194 I
APPENDIX A PROCEDURES IMPLEMENTING THE EMERGENCY PLAN 5.7.7, ACTIVATION OF TSC 5.7.8 ACTIVATION OF OSC 5.7.8.1 ACTIVATION OF ALTERNATE OSC 5.7.8.2 ACTIVATION OF ALTERNATE OFF-SITE OSC/TSC 5.7.9 ACTIVATION OF EOF These procedures describe the sequence of events and the staffing requirements for the activation of the TSC (5.7.7), OSC (5.7.8), Alternate OSC (5.7.8.1 ), Alternate Off-Site OSC/TSC (5.7.8.2) and the EOF (5.7.9).
They provide further information on the functions of the CNS ERFs (see Section 7 .2 of the Emergency Plan).
5.7.10 PERSONNEL ASSEMBLY AND ACCOUNTABILITY This procedure describes the immediate and on-going emergency personnel assembly and accountability actions to be taken by all on-site personnel including ERO members, Security personnel, contractors, and visitors in the event of a station emergency. It also provides a means to ascertain the names of missing individuals within 30 minutes and account for all on-site individuals continuously thereafter.
Since each site employee, Security Officer, visitor, and contractor is assigned a designated assembly area and each area is assigned a Designated Assembly Area Supervisor (DAAS) personnel accountability, in accordance with the discussions in Section 6.5 of the Emergency Plan, is assured.
5.7.11 EARLY DISMISSAL/EVACUATION OF SITE PERSONNEL As discussed in Section 6.5 of the Emergency Plan, in the event of an emergency situation it may be desirable to minimize the number of non-ERO personnel on-site. If the emergency involves a radiological release or the potential for a release, then evacuation of non-ERO personnel is desirable, or may be required to minimize exposure to radioactive material.
This procedure provides an efficient means for evacuation of personnel from isolated areas or from the plant site in its entirety. Furthermore, it provides a definition of the duties and responsibilities of designated supervisory personnel associated with site evacuation.
5.7.12 EMERGENCY RADIATION EXPOSURE CONTROL As indicated in Section 6.6 of the Emergency Plan, under certain emergency conditions it may become necessary for emergency workers to receive dose in excess of occupational limits established by 10CFR20. Dose limits for workers performing emergency services are contained in this procedure.
As indicated in the Emergency Plan and Procedure, the Emergency Director has the authority to authorize dose in excess of occupational limits. This dose is only justifiable if it is determined that benefits are being achieved, the I EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 108 OF 194 I
APPENDIX A PROCEDURES IMPLEMENTING THE EMERGENCY PLAN dose is commensurate with the significance of the objective, and every reasonable effort is being made to maintain emergency workers dose As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA).
The primary purpose of this procedure is to provide policy guidance, address required authorization, and set forth maximum criteria for emergency radiation dose control in the event emergency workers are required to exceed established annual dose limits.
5.7.13 PERSONNEL MONITORING AND DECONTAMINATION As discussed in Section 6.6 of the Emergency Plan, the objectives of personnel decontamination techniques are to promptly reduce radiation dose; to minimize the absorption of radionuclides, particularly radioiodine, into the body; and to prevent the spread of localized contamination.
This procedure provides instructions for decontamination of station personnel during emergency conditions utilizing normal decontamination facilities or alternate areas if necessary.
5.7.14 STABLE IODINE THYROID BLOCKING (Kl)
The purpose of this procedure is to define under what emergency conditions Potassium Iodide (Kl) should be administ~red to station personnel and who has the authority to determine when and at what dosages Kl should be administered. The procedure also provides a discussion of the effectiveness of Kl, the recommended dosage, as well as any precautions and potential side effects.
As indicated in Section 7. 7 of the Emergency Plan, Kl tablets are stored in the CNS emergency lockers and are available on a voluntary basis to emergency response personnel as conditions dictate. These tablets will be dispensed only with the permission of the Emergency Director (also see Section 6.5.5 of the Emergency Plan).
5.7.15 OSC TEAM DISPATCH As defined in Section 6.5 of the Emergency Plan, if station personnel are unaccounted for in the initial or subsequent emergency accountability, the Emergency Director will assign an emergency team to locate, and if necessary, rescue them.
This procedure provides guidance and requirements necessary to conduct efficient rescue and re-entry operations. It presents the organization and operation of Rescue and Re-Entry Teams and identifies the precautions which should be observed by the Rescue and Re-Entry Teams (including equipment carried during search and rescue operations).
5.7.16 RELEASE RATE DETERMINATION I EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 109 OF 194 j
APPENDIX A PROCEDURES IMPLEMENTING THE EMERGENCY PLAN This procedure describes methodology for the manual determination of airborne radioactive release rates from the Elevated Release Point, Reactor Building vent, the Turbine Building vent, and the Augmented Radwaste Building vent utilizing effluent monitor readings.
Upon determination of release rates, actual or projected plume exposure dose may be calculated in accordance with EPIP 5. 7 .17, Dose Assessment or EPIP 5.7.17.1, Dose Assessment (Manual). This dose provides a basis for relating plume exposure dose to the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAGs) in accordance with EPIP 5.7.20, Protective Action Recommendations (see Section 6.3 of the Emergency Plan).
5.7.17 DOSE ASSESSMENT This procedure provides a means for personnel to quickly predict off-site dose rates and integrated dose based on meteorological data, release rates, and dispersion.
5.7.17.1 DOSE ASSESSMENT (MANUAL)
This procedure provides a means for personnel to perform a plume centerline or non-centerline dose assessment including dose projections from multiple source releases using hand calculation methods when the CNS-DOSE computer program is not available.
5.7.18 OFF-SITE AND SITE BOUNDARY MONITORING In the event of an accidental radiological release, data obtained from off-site survey will be used to assess the magnitude of the release and to determine which off-site areas have been affected by the release. As indicated in Section 4.2 of the Emergency Plan, CNS will deploy Field Monitoring Teams for initial off-site monitoring prior to the arrival of responding state teams. The CNS Teams will remain in the field and assist the State(s) Teams as required.
Data obtained through the off-site survey shall be utilized to determine actual release rates, deposition rates, and actual dose. Dose assessments provide a basis for decision making concerning recommendation of appropriate protective actions in accordance with EPIP 5.7.20, Protective Action Recommendations. Off-site survey data will be used in conjunction with on-site release rate determination and dose assessment capabilities to accurately determine off-site consequences of an accident condition.
This procedure describes the emergency off-site and site boundary radiological monitoring and field surveys to be undertaken in the event of an airborne release of radioactive gases from CNS. Instructions for the implementation of the program, locating sampling points, collecting samples, and performing field surveys are provided.
5.7.19 ON-SITE RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING I EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 110 OF 194 j
APPENDIX A PROCEDURES IMPLEMENTING THE EMERGENCY PLAN In the event of an accidental release involving radionuclides, data obtained from the on-site survey will be used to make initial assessments concerning the magnitude of the accident and decisions concerning evacuation of site personnel.
Principal concerns for accidental radioactive releases, particularly gaseous releases, include limiting internal dose through appropriate respiratory protection equipment, anti-contamination clothing, limiting external dose by identifying areas of high radiation, and containment of the material to prevent the spreading of contamination or release to the environs.
This procedure describes the emergency on-site radiological monitoring necessary to determine dose rates, airborne particulate, noble gas, and radioiodine activity levels due to an accidental release of radionuclides. The on-site survey entails the interior space of all station buildings.
5.7.20 PROTECTIVE ACTION RECOMMENDATIONS Dose estimates (which population groups may potentially receive) are calculated according to the dose assessment methodology described in EPIP 5.7.17, Dose Assessment or EPIP 5.7.17.1, Dose Assessment (Manual). These dose estimates are referred to as projected dose. A protective action is an action taken to avoid or reduce a projected dose when the benefits derived from such action are sufficient to offset any undesirable features of the protective action.
This procedure provides a basis for relating actual or projected plume exposure dose to the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAGs) in order to recommend the appropriate protective actions to the county or state governments (see Sections 6.5 and 6.6).
5.7.21 MAINTAINING EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS - EMERGENCY EXERCISES, DRILLS, TESTS AND EVALUATIONS This procedure provides a means of ensuring the operational readiness and availability of equipment required for the immediate action steps of all four Emergency Classification action levels. This procedure also provides instructions for documenting the completion of periodic surveillances, tests, drills, and training to ensure availability, operability, and reliability.
As an emergency situation progresses, conditions may arise which require augmentation of emergency equipment. The necessary equipment will be utilized on an as-needed basis to support the emergency operations (see Section 6.5.2 of the Emergency Plan).
5.7.23 ACTIVATION OF THE JIC This procedure describes the sequence of events and the staffing requirements for the activation of the Joint Information Center (JIC). It I EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 111 OF 194 I
APPENDIX A PROCEDURES IMPLEMENTING THE EMERGENCY PLAN provides further information on the functions of the J IC and its interaction with other CNS ERF's (see Section 7.2 of the Emergency Plan) and provides responsibilities of key emergency response personnel.
5.7.24 MEDICAL EMERGENCY As delineated in Sections 6.6.3 and 6.6.4 of the Emergency Plan, arrangements with local organizations have been made for the transportation and care of injured/contaminated personnel.
This procedure details the treatment of injured personnel during a radiological emergency. The topics addressed by the procedure are: (1) aid to contaminated and non-contaminated injured personnel on-site, and (2) transportation and treatment of injured personnel. It also provides information on local off-site facilities and the actions to be taken by off-site personnel.
5.7.25 RECOVERY OPERATIONS This procedure describes recovery operations necessary to identify the extent of station damage and radiological contamination (if any) and return the station to an operating status in compliance with the Technical Specifications.
Recovery operations will include measures taken during and immediately following the emergency, as well as, the longer term post-emergency efforts.
These operations will be performed by station and other NPPD personnel, and if required, by contract technical and labor support. Manpower and equipment resources supporting the individual functional segments of the Recovery Organization will vary according to the severity of damage and specific situational needs.
5.7.26 LONG-TERM ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING iViethods to be used for evaiuating iong-term environmental consequences and analyses of trends involving key isotopes of radioactive material released from CNS are described in this procedure. Immediate collection and analysis of samples from impacted areas following a release shall be conducted in accordance with EPIP 5.7.18, Off-Site And Site Boundary Monitoring.
Long-term environmental monitoring and trend analyses shall be conducted in accordance with EPIP 5.7.26. Appropriate protective measures are also discussed (also see Section 7 .5.4 of the Emergency Plan).
5.7.27 ALERT AND NOTIFICATION SYSTEM 5.7.27.1 NOAA/EAS RADIO MALFUNCTION 5.7.27.2 FALSE ACTIVATION OF ALERT AND NOTIFICATION SYSTEM The purpose of these procedures are to describe the CNS Alert And Notification System within the Plume Exposure Pathway (10-Mile EPZ) of Cooper Nuclear Station. This system was set up to meet prompt notification I EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 81 PAGE 112 OF 194 I
APPENDIX A PROCEDURES IMPLEMENTING THE EMERGENCY PLAN requirements for Cooper Nuclear Station. These procedures also include response to inadvertent siren activation or EAS radio malfunctions.
As indicated in Section 6.5 of the Emergency Plan, the CNS Early Warning System consists of fixed sirens covering areas of high population density and digitally-activated Emergency Alert System (EAS) radios in the low population density rural areas.
The fixed siren system is composed of 21 pole-mounted sirens.
Digital NOAA/EAS radio receivers are made available to residences located within the rural EPZ areas and outside the effective hearing range of the fixed sirens. These radios are pre-tuned to NOAA/EAS radio transmitter KWN41 (162.5 MHz) located at Shubert, NE. The receivers constantly monitor the broadcast frequency of the digital NOAA/EAS station, and activate upon receipt of the appropriate digital signals.
