The purpose of the Palisades Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan (P SEP) is to aid in protecting members of t he general public, persons temporarily visiting the site, and site employees.

Information submitted in this plan wa s developed using the guidance provided in NUREG-0654, Revision 1, "Criteria for Pr eparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Procedures in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," published in November 1980 and with Regulato ry Guide 1.70, Revision 2, "Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Repo rts for Nuclear Power Plants," dated September 1975.

Detailed procedures concerning the implementation of the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan are not incl uded here, but are included in the Palisades Nuclear Plant Emergency Implementing Procedures and Entergy Fleet Emergency Preparedness Procedures. These procedures describe the duties and actions of individuals and groups in the event of an emergency and also serve as an interface

of the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan with Plant operations, security, and radiological controls procedures. Sele cted elements of the Quality Program are applied to the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Planning Function for the Palisades Plant. Any unexpected or unintent ional event resulting in radiological exposure, contamination, or physical injury to individuals requiring offsite medical treatment, and/or physical damage to safety-related components.

Actions taken to staff and setup an em ergency response facility to make it operational. Actions include, but are not limited to, notification of emergency personnel, equipment setup, and equipment operabilit y testing.

Individuals who have been radi ologically exposed or physica lly injured as a result of an accident to a degree requi ring special attention, e

.g., decontamination, first aid, or medical services.

An indication of abnormal Plant conditions and/or equipment status.

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 si te personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releas es are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.

An alarm or indication of normal or abnormal conditions.

Those actions taken during or after an accident to provide data to make decisions.

Resides with the Shift Manager or EOF Emergency Director following assumption of overall authority for Entergy Corporation emergency response. At minimum, this individual will assume responsibility fo r event classification, dose assessment, protective action recommendations, and not ification of offsite authorities.

The location at Palisades Plant from which the Reactor and its auxiliary systems are controlled. The assembly area for Control Room personnel.

The credited on shift complement consists of a Shift Manager (qualified as a Certified Fuel Handler (CFH)), and two (2) Non-Certified Operators.Nuclear Control

Operators, Nuclear Plant Operators, Shift Engineer/Shi ft Technical Advisor, and Control Room Supervisor.

Those emergency measures taken to less en or terminate an emergency situation at, or near, the source of the problem.

The removal of radioactive material from individuals, equipment, surfaces, foodstuffs, etc.

Any occurrence at the Palisades Nuclear Po wer Plant that may result in undue risk to the health and safety of the onsite personnel or the public.

A predetermined, site-specific, observable threshold for a plant Initiating Condition that places the plant in a given emergency class. An EAL can be: an instrument reading; an equipment status indicator; a measurable parameter (onsite or offsite);

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 class.

There are times when an EAL will be a threshold point on a measurable continuous function, such as a primary system cool ant leak that has exceeded technical specifications.

At other times, the EAL lists a discrete event that places the plant in a particular emergency class.

An offsite emergency center from which the offsite emergency support actions of Entergy Corporation are controlled and coor dinated with state, local, and federal authorities to mitigate the consequences of an emergency.

Specific procedures providing sp ecific actions to implement the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan in order to mitigate or terminate an emergency situation.

Two zones that encircle the Palisades Plant. The primary EPZ plume exposure pathway, with a radius of 10 miles, has been established to prevent excessive airborne exposure, and the secondary EPZ, ingestion exposure pathway, with a radius of 50 miles, has been established to prevent excessive ingestion of contaminated food. Within these two zones , protective actions are described for the protection of the public.

Provide reasonable assurance that personnel who maintain unescorted access will perform their tasks in a reliable and tr ustworthy manner and are not under the influence of any substance, legal or illegal, or mentally or ph ysically impaired from any cause, which in any way adversely affects their ability to safely and competently perform their duties.

Status of an Emergency Response Facility following assumption of all responsibilities.

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 ACTION 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 offs ite for more than the immediate site area.

An act toward an NPP or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, takes hostages, and /or in timidates the licensee to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land, or water using guns, explosives, projectiles, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. HOSTILE ACTION should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or feloni ous acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the NPP. Nonterrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (eg, violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area).

One or more individuals who are engaged in a determined assault, overtly or by stealth and deception, equipped with suitable weapons capable of killing, maiming, or causing destruction The path affected by fallout from a radioactive plume.

Of major concern is the contamination of food and water wit hin the emergency planning zones.

One of a predetermined subs et of nuclear power plant conditions when either the potential exists fo r a radiological emergency, or such an emergency has occurred.

An IC is an emergency condition, which sets it apart from the broad class of conditions that may or may not have the potential to escalate into a radiological emergency.

It can be a continuous, measurable f unction that is outside technical specifications, such as elevated PCS temperature or falling reactor coolant level (a symptom).

All land and water areas outside the owner-controlled area.

All land and water areas within the owner-controlled area, use of which must be authorized by Enterg y Corporation.

Status of an emergency facility, declared by the appropr iate facility manager upon determining that the facility is adequately staffed and equipment is setup and available to assume/perform the emergency functions assigned to that facility.

The onsite area in which onsite support personnel can assemble for subsequent assignment to duties in support of emergency operations. Support personnel assigned to the OSC normally consist of Chemistry, Radiation Protection, and repairpersons from I&C, Electr ical, and Mechanical Maintenance.

The area surrounding the Plant in which t he reactor licensee ha s the authority to determine all activities including exclusion or removal of persons and property from the area during acci dent conditions.

The path by which a radioactive cloud (plume) can expose the population-at-risk and/or onsite personnel to radiation. T he principle exposure sources for this pathway are:

a. Whole body external expo sure to gamma radiation fr om the radioactive plume and from deposited material.

b. Inhalation exposure from the passing radioactive plume.

Those persons for whom protective actions are or would be taken.

Those emergency measures taken for the purpose of preventing or minimizing radiological exposures to individuals that would be likely to occur if the actions were not taken.

Projected radiological dose or dose commitm ent values to individuals in the general population that warrant protecti ve action following a release of radioactive material.

Protective actions would be warranted provided the reduction in individual dose expected to be achieved by carrying out t he protective action is not offset by

excessive risks to individual safety in taking the protective action.

The fenced area immediately surrounding the nuclear Plant, access to which is controlled in accordance with the Safeguards Contingency Procedures.

An emergency involving radioactive material.

Those actions taken after the emergency to restore the Plant as nearly as possible to its pre-emergency condition.

Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protec tion of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentiona l damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to t he likely failure of or; (2) t hat 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 person designated as responsible fo r all onsite actions during an emergency condition.

The State of Michigan.

An area which accommodates personnel which will provide management and technical support to Plant Operations per sonnel during emergen cy conditions from a location outside the Control Room.

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 mate rial requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradat ion of safety systems occurs.

The Palisades Nuclear Power Plant is owned by Entergy Corporation. An area map showing the location of the facility is provided in Figure 2-1.

The design of the Palisades Nu clear Plant is that of a pr essurized water-type nuclear steam supply system supplied and manufactured by Combustion Engineering. The system uses chemical shim and control rods for reactivity control and U-tube steam generators. Maps identifying Palisades Plant facilities are provided in Figures 2-2 and 2-3. The Palisades Nuclear Power Plant (PNP) ceased power operations and is permanently defueled in accordance with 10 CF R 50.82(a)(1)(i) and (ii). On January 4, 2017, Entergy Nuclear Operations (ENO) submitted a certific ation of permanent cessation of power operations pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i). ENO has submitted written certification to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(1)(ii) that meets the requirements of 10 CFR 50.4(b)(9) certif ying that fuel has been permanently removed from the reacto r vessel. Upon docketing of these certifications, the 10 CFR Part 50 license for PNP no longer autho rizes operation of the reactor or emplacement or retention of fuel into the reactor vessel, as specified in 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2).

With irradiated fuel being stored in the Spent Fuel Pool and the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (I SFSI), the reactor coolant system and secondary systems have no function related to the storage of the irradiated fuel. Therefore, the postulated accidents involving failure or malfunction of the reactor and reactor coolant system or secondary systems are no longer applicable.

The Palisades Plant is located in Covert Township, Van Buren County, Michigan.

The Plant is bordered to the north by the Van Buren State Park and to the west by Lake Michigan. The south and east are sparsely populated, underdeveloped, or used for farming. Interstate 196 and the Bl ue Star Highway lie within one mile east of the site. Much of the area around the site is devoted to recreation and tourism, which produces a fluctuati ng and seasonal population.

Highway access to the Plant is provided from the Blue Star Highway (A-2) via the Plant access road.

The area within a 10-mile radius surrounding the Palisades Plant is designated as the plume exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). A comprehensive population study was prepared in August 2012 by KLD Engineering. The Evacuation Time Estimates for the plume EPZ are adopted as a progeny procedure to Palisades Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan. See P SEP Supp 2, "Evacuati on Time Estimates." EPZs are areas designated for which pl anning is recommended to assure that prompt and effective actions are taken to protect the public in the event of an accident.

Two EPZs have been identified for the purpose of development and implementation of emergency planning. The plume exposure emergency planning zone has a 10 mile radius. Within this zone, shelter and/or evacuation is the immediate protective action to be recommended for the general public. The principal concern with the plume exposure pathway is that of Total Effectiv e Dose Equivalent (TEDE) exposure and/or exposure to the adult thyroid Committe d Dose Equivalent (CDE) due to inhalation and ingestion.

The ingestion exposure EPZ extends to a 50-mile radius. Once exceeding the 10-mile radius, the plume exposure pathway is no longer of significant concern. At this point, the ingestion pathway is of greatest concern.

Effective emergency preparedness needs to incorporate not only the emergency response for systems, but must also include response for people. Engineering safety systems at the Plant are designed to ensure t hat the consequences of a major malfunction will be mitigated prior to any adverse effect to the general public or facility. The basis for emergency planning is to provide human emergency response in much the same way as safety systems do for design.

It is imperative that all plans, programs, and procedures be we ll coordinated with the Emergency Plan. Only when they are well coordinated can the response to emergencies be initiated in a timely and effective manner.

10 CFR 50, "Domestic Licensing Of Production and Utilization Facilities" Section 50.34, "Contents of Applications; Te chnical Information", requires that each application for a license to operate a facility include in a Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), along with other information, the applicant's plans for coping with

emergencies, including the it ems specified in Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Fa cilities," 10 CFR 50. Section 100.3, 10 CFR 100, "Reactor Site Criteria," in the definitions of exclusion area and low population zone, establishes additional criteria for pl ans to cope with emergencies and serious accidents. 10 CFR 50.47, "Eme rgency Plans," requires that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of a r adiological emergency.

Supplemental guidance has been provided by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) by the following documents:

a. NUREG-0654, Revision 1, "Criteri a for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Pr eparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plant" (November 1980).

b. NUREG-0696, "Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities" (February 1981).

These documents describe methods acceptable to the NRC staff for compliance with the Commission's regulations in regard to the content of emergency plans for

nuclear power plants including provisions fo r the periodic review and revision of the Emergency Plans.

The purpose of emergency preparedness is to provide a mechanism that would be used in making decisions in the event of an emergency, and to assure that the necessary equipment, supplies, and essential services are available to protect the health and safety of the public.

The objectives of the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan are to:

a. Establish criteria for classifyi ng emergencies, perform ing notifications, activating emergency facilities, and activating portions of the emergency

organization.

b. Establish an emergency organizati on and assign responsibilities in the emergency organization for classifying em ergencies, performing notifications, performing onsite protective actions, performing dose assessments, and making recommendations to offsite authorities.

c. Identify the support that will be provided to the onsite emergency organization by the Entergy Corporation headquarters and offsite organizations (ie, fire, ambulance, medical).

d. Identify the offsite authorit ies that are responsible for taking protective actions on behalf of members of the general pub lic or that interface with this

Emergency Plan.

e. Identify emergency facilities and available communication systems to be used by the emergency organization.

f. Identify training for personnel in the emergency organization.

g. Provide for drills and exercises of the emergency organization.

h. Provide for periodic revi ew and update of the plan.

This Emergency Plan should not, in itself, be considered the sole working document to be used during an emergency. The purpose of the Emergency Plan is to classify emergencies according to their severity, to assign responsibilities for actions, and to clearly outline the most effective course of action required to safeguard the public and Plant personnel in the event of an emergency. Detailed instructions and guidelines for emergency actions are in cluded in other plans, programs, and procedures as described below.

The " Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan Supplement 1 - EAL Wall Charts" contains the Palisades Emergency Action Levels in a wall chart format. It is part of

the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan. Changes to the supplement require all the same types of reviews and approvals as required for the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan. Revisions to the supplement will be tracked by its own revision number, not the P SEP's revision number.

The " Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan Supplement 1 - EAL Wall Charts" will be maintained in the same binder as the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan.

The Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan Supplement 2 - "Evacuation Time Estimates (Revision 1, August 2012)" contains the Palisades updated Evacuation Time Estimates study (Revision 1, August 2012). It is part of the Site Post-Shhutdown Emergency Plan. Changes to the supplement require all the same types of reviews and approvals as required for the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan. Revisions to the supplement will be tracked by its own revision number, not the P SEP's revision number.

The Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan Supplement 2 - "Evacuation Time Estimates" will be maintained in the same binder as the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan.

Detailed Emergency Implement ing Procedures required to implement the plan have been developed. An index of the Emergency Implementing Procedures is included in Appendix D.

Detailed implementing procedures for emer gencies considered to be special events, such as civil disturbances, bomb threats, and breaches in security are included as part of the Safeguards Contingency Procedures.

Separate emergency procedures are not provided for activities already covered by Plant or section Operating Pr ocedures (ie, calibration of survey instruments). The plan relies on certain aspects of the Plant's operating procedures, radiation protection procedures, and security proc edures, where they are required for clarification.

Several plans, programs, and procedures have been developed to assure the safe operation of the Plant. The Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan and Emergency Implementing Procedures have been written to coordinate these plans with other programs and procedures. During emergency situations, the coordination and utilization of all plans and procedures are essential.

The Safeguards Contingency Proc edures have been c oordinated with the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan and Emergency Implement ing Procedures to minimize the consequences of an emergency situation. Security procedures contain an

explanation of the duties and responsibilities for security personnel in the event of an emergency.

Provisions for radiological control at the Plant have been covered in Radiation Protection Procedures. These procedures establish controls and protective measures to be placed on work being conduct ed in radiation areas. Inclusive within the area of radiation control are the procedures that Radiation Protection establishes for determining exposure through surveys, analysis, and various other avenues.

The Palisades Emergency Operating Proc edures have been developed to control Plant operation during emergen cy situations. These emergency procedures work in conjunction with the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

The Palisades Nuclear Plant Public Information Policies and Procedures contain the information necessary to establish a flow of emergency information to the public.

The Palisades Fire Protection Plan has been developed to assure the safe operation of the Plant during a fire.

The Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan establishes the basic steps that will be used to determine the response of the emergency or ganization for each of four emergency classes. The emergency classes are as fo llows: Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency. The conditions that must exist for the declaration of a specific emer gency class are presented in the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan, Supplement 1 - EAL Wall Charts.

The declaration of each class will lead to spec ific notification of of fsite authorities.

Emergency facilities shall be activated as described in Table 3-1, "Emergency Classifications and the Level of Response by Participating Groups," and staffed as presented in Section 5 of the Palisades Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan. In response to a particular event, certain protec tive actions may be initiated or certain offsite agencies may be activated. These ac tions are detailed in Section 6 of the Palisades Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan. Palisades maintains the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emer gency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an em ergency action level has been exceeded and promptly decla res the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level.

For emergencies that result in (1) the release of radioactive materials greater than specified levels, or (2) t he degradation of barriers to the release of radioactive

materials, assessments of the offsite consequences or the projected offsite consequences shall be made. These assessments will be transmi tted to the offsite authorities responsible for ta king protective actions on behalf of the general public. Recommendations to these offsite authorities will be based on the protective actions identified in Table 6-2 from the Palisades Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan.

In general, the Post-shutdown Emergency Plan encompasses the following basic steps: a. Detection of the emergency

b. Classification of the emergency c. Notification of offsite agencies

d. Activation of the re sponding organization(s) e. Assessment of the situation

f. Initiation of protective actions

g. Initiation of corrective actions

h. Aid to affected persons

i. Reentry and recovery

This Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan establishes an organization capable of responding to the complete spectrum of incidents covered by this Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan. Provisions are made for rapid notification of appropriate portions of the response organization, and for ex panding the response organization if the situation dictates.

An individual having the authority and responsibility to initiate any emergency actions within the provisions of this Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan, including the exchange of information with authorities re sponsible for coordinating offsite emergency measures, is onsite at all times.

This individual is the Shift Manager until relieved by the Emergency Director.

The operating shift crew is responsible for implementing emergency action(s) in accordance with assigned response functions. Emergency response functions are

also assigned to additional Plant staf f personnel who are rapidly alerted and mobilized to augment or relieve the operating shift personnel of emergency duties as deemed appropriate by the Emergency Pl ant Manager, and in accordance with the implementing procedures of this Plan.

In addition, this Plan includes offsite agencies and organizations who have signed letters of agreement with Palisades Nucl ear Power Plant (see Appendix A). Their designated response functions include implement ation of offsite protective actions, transportation and treatment of personnel re quiring medical treatment, control of access to the station, fire-fighting support, radiological sampling and assessment, technical consultation, and testing.

Emergencies are grouped into four classifications listed below in order of severity:

a. Unusual Event Events are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releas es of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are ex pected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.

b. Alert Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels. c. Site Area Emergency Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for pr otection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentional dam age 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 exposu re levels beyond the site boundary.

d. General Emergency

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 ACTION 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 offsite for more than the immediate site area.

Section 4 from the Palisades Nuclear Plant Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan contains a more detailed discussion of the classifications of emergencies. Table 3-

1, "Emergency Classifications and the Level of Response by Participating Groups," shows, in column form, the emergency classifications, and the degrees of involvement of onsite and offsite organizations.

In all instances, when one of the classifications of the above emergencies occurs in the Plant, the Shift Manager is responsible for taking immediate action to safeguard

personnel and equipment. Ut ilizing the Palisades Nu clear Plant Emergency Implementing Procedures, the Shift Manager shall activate the necessary portions of the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan. The basic considerations for safe operation of the Plant, and for action in t he event of an emergen cy in the Plant, are summarized as follows:

a. In any event, protection of Plant personnel and the public is the highest priority. A range of protective acti ons to protect onsite 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. Plant system and equipment protection is secondary.

b. When there is doubt as to the classi fication of the emergency condition, the more conservative case is considered.

c. The instrumentation is assumed to be providing correct information unless it is clearly identified that an instrument is erroneous or out of service.

d. All alarms are promptly acknowledged, any required response action is taken, and an immediate investigation of the caus e that initiated the alarm is made.

This Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan provides four mutually exclusive classifications covering the postulated spec trum of emergency situations. For each classification, a particular set of immediate actions to be taken is established as described in Section 6, of the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan. Actions for each of the four mutually exclusive classifications are defined in Emergency Implementing Procedure EI-1, "Emergency Classification and Actions," , "Emergency Actions."

The various classifications of accidents represent a hierarchy of accidents based on potential or actual hazards presented to the general public. Accidents may be classified in a lower category at firs t and then escalated to another higher classification if the si tuation deteriorates. Accident classification may be downgraded as conditions improve. The f our classes that comprise the Emergency Classification System are:

a. Unusual Event

b. Alert

c. Site Area Emergency

d. General Emergency

All emergency measures begin with the notification of the Shift Manager that a situation exists which presents a real or potential hazard. This is followed by assessment and evaluation by the Shift M anager, classification of the emergency, notifications, and activation and/or mobilization of the applicable emergency

organizations. Section 6 summarizes the emergency measures to be taken by both the onsite and offsite emergency organizations.

Emergency Action Levels (EALs) are used to describe each of the four emergency classes. These levels are composed of a combination of Plant parameters (such as instrument readings and system status) that can be used to give relatively quick indication to the Plant operating staff of the severity of th e accident situation.

The purpose of the EAL is to provide the earliest possible identification of actual or potential accident situations. In most cases, further assessment action will be conducted both onsite and offsite before actual protective actions are initiated.

EALs associated with radioactive releases are related to the Environmental Protection Agency's Protective Actions Guides (PAG) summarized in EPA 400-R-92-001, "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for

Nuclear Incidents." An assessment by the Plant emergency organization along with state support agencies of the potential of reaching or exceeding the PAG will be performed following the declara tion of an emergency class.

When EALs are observed in conjunction with Plant or equipment status due to planned maintenance or testing activities , an emergency condition does not exist.

A conservative philosophy for classification shall be used to declare the highest classification for which an EAL has been exceeded. For example, a Site Area Emergency would be declared directly if a Site Area Emergency level is exceeded without having previously been declared in a lower Alert classification.

The Emergency Action Levels are not necessarily all inclusive. The Shift Manager/EOF Emergency Director shall declare an appropriate emergency

classification whenever, in their personal judgment, the Plant st atus warrants such a declaration.

Palisades Emergency Action Levels can be found in the " Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan Supplement 1 - EAL Wall Charts." The Unusual Event is the least severe of the four emergency cla ssifications. For the purposes of this plan, an Unusual Event is defined as that situation where, "Events are in process or have occurred which indica te a potential degradatio n of the level of safety of the plant or indica te a security threat to facility protecti on has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs."

The purpose of the Unusual Event declaration is to:

a. Assure that the first step in any response later found to be necessary has been carried out.

b. Bring the Plant operations st aff to a state of readiness.

c. Provide systematic handling of Unusual Events information and decision-making.

Guidelines for Plant, State, and loca l actions are listed in Table 4-1. An incident shall be classified as an U nusual Event if the event is minor in nature, involves no releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring, and presents no immediate ha zard to the public. Events in this classification are selected based upon a potential to degenerate to a more

severe situation rather t han an actual public hazard.

An Alert is defined as that situation wher e, "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 involv es 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." The Alert class involves relatively minor emergency situations that have a direct effect on the Plant safety-related systems. The Alert shall set into motion personnel onsite and offsite who would be required to perform actions up to

and including the evacuation of near-site ar eas. The Alert class also addresses limited releases of radioactive material and, therefore, might require some assessment actions by the emergency organizations.

The purpose of the Alert declaration is to:

a. Assure that emergency personnel are readily available to respond if the situation becomes more serious or to perform confirmatory radiation monitoring if required.

b. Provide offsite authorities current status information.

Guidelines for Plant, State, and loca l actions are listed in Table 4-1. An incident shall be classified as an Aler t if there is real or potential limited

releases of radioactive material to the environment. A situation shall be classified at the Alert level only if EALs for higher classification have not been exceeded or are not expected to be exceeded in the near term.

A Site Area Emergency is defined as that situation where, "Event s 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 per sonnel 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 purpose of the Site Area Emergency declaration is to:

a. Assure that emergency re sponse facilities are manned.

b. Assure that radiation-monitoring team s are dispatched both onsite and offsite.

c. Assure that personnel required for ev acuation of near-site areas are at their duty stations if the situat ion becomes more serious.

d. Provide consultation with offsite authorities.

e. Provide updates for the pub lic through offsite authorities.

Guidelines for Plant, State, and local acti ons are listed in Table 4-1. Although immediate protective actions are not automat ically required, declaration of a Site Area Emergency shall set into motion all pe rsonnel onsite and offsite who would be required to perform actions up to and incl uding the evacuation of near-site areas. Dispatched radiation monitoring teams will make continuing assessments to provide officials with information to decide protec tive actions. The Site Area Emergency classification includes accidents that hav e significant radiation release potential.

Unlike the Unusual Event and Alert classifications of emergencies, the Site Area Emergency classification may involve some radiation exposure to the near-site public. Many of the accidents included in this classification have the potential for degradation to the General Emergency classification. Although the EALs for this classification have been selected at values well below the EPA PAGs, offsite

monitoring team reports and continuing assessment actions shall lead to any final decision on protective actions to be taken.

Accidents that have significant potential for the release of radioactive material shall be classified as a Site Area Emergency.

The General Emergency is the most severe classification of emergency. The General Emergency classification is defined as that situation where, "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 ACTION 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 offsite for more than the immediate site area."

The purpose of the General Emergency declaration is to:

a. Initiate predetermined protective actions for the public.

b. Provide continuous assessment of information from Palisades Plant, and offsite monitoring groups.

c. Initiate additional measures as indicated by event releases or potential releases.

d. Provide consultation with offsite authorities.

e. Provide updates for the pub lic through offsite authorities.

Guidelines for Plant, State, and local ac tions are listed in Table 4-1. Some protective actions may be recommended upon declaration of the General Emergency since the lower limits of the EPA PAGs are likely to be exceeded.

Emergency Action Levels (EAL) have been selected so that time should be available to make some confirmatory measurements in the field prior to implementation of the more extensive (i

.e., evacuation) protective action.

Some of the General Emergency action levels require a dose projection calc ulation using actual meteorology. This differs from the adverse meteorology assumptions used in the Site Emergency

action Action levels Levels in order to remove this built-in conservatism and to preclude declaring a General Emergency when actual conditions do not warrant the higher classification. Declaration of a General Emer gency requires a recommendation to the State for protective actions for the local population.

The events postulated in Section 14, Palisades Plant Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), may be categorized into one or more of the four emergency classifications. A complete discussion of these events may be found in the FSAR.

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 offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. Purpose of offsite notification is to: (1) assure that the first step in any response later found to be necessary has been carried out, (2) bring the operating staff to a state of readiness, and (3) provide systematic handling of Unusual Events information and decision making.

1. Promptly inform state and local offsite authorities of nature of unusual condition as soon as discovered.

2. Augment on-shift resources as needed.

3. Assess and respond.

4. Escalate to a more severe class, if appropriate, or 5. Close out with verbal summary to offsite authorities; followed by written summary.

1. Provide fire or security assistance if requested.

2. Escalate to a more severe class, if appropriate.

3. Stand by until verbal closeout.

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.

Purpose of the Alert is to (1) assure that emergency personnel are readily available to respond if situation becomes more serious or to perform confirmatory radiation monitoring if required, and (2) provide offsite authorities current status information.

Emergency planning must consider the capabili ties of the normally present operating staff, augmented by support from other utility personnel and local and distant support. The initial phases of an emergency situation at an operatinga permanently shutdown and defueled nuclear power plant will involve a relatively small number of individuals. These individuals must be capable of: (1) determining that an emergency exists, (2) providing initial classification and assessment, and (3) promptly notifying other groups and individuals in the emergency organization.

The Palisades Plant Organization has comple te capability, at a ll times, to perform the detection, classification, and notification functions required in the early phases of an emergency. These capabilities are augmented, as required, by the Palisades Emergency Response Organization (ERO).

This section of the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan addresses the assignment of personnel and the establishment of responsibilities and authority for the:

a. Palisades Plant Organization

b. Palisades Emergency Response Organization

Figure 5-1 shows the interfaces between these organizations, governmental agencies, and the general public.

The Palisades Nuclear Plant operating and shift engineering activities are under the control of the General Manager , Plant Operations. The operating and shift engineering activities at the Plant are conduct ed by operating crews on twelve-hour shifts. Each twelve-hour shift is responsible for continuous operation of the Plant.

The Palisades Plant organization in cludes personnel encompassing both the management and operation s of the unitstaff. The minimum on-shift staffing is indicated in Figure 5-2.

The General Manager, Plant Operations is responsible for the technical and administrative management of the day-to-day physical oper ation of the Plant; this includes Operations, Chemistry and Ra diological Services, Maintenance, and Planning and Scheduling.

The Director, Emergency Programs, is directly responsible for Entergy Emergency Preparedness, including: company-wide projects, National emergency interfaces, and regulatory issues.

The Director - Engineering is responsible for system and design engineering, nuclear engineering, engineer ing programs, dry fuel services, and nuclear fuel supply. The Regulatory and Performance Improvement Director provides onsite oversight/supervision for emergency planning.

This is a rotating position among qualified Plant upper management (as defined by the General Manager, Plant Operations). The Duty Station Manager functions as the General Manager, Pl ant Operations on backshifts and weekends.

The Shift Manager, one of whom is on duty at all times, is responsible for the safe and efficient operation of the Pl ant during his assigned shift.

He The Shift Manager maintains control over Plant operations as the Senior Licensed OperatorCertified Fuel Handler (CFH) unless he is properly relieved by another member of the Plant staff who holds a valid Senior Operator's LicenseShift Manager. In an emergency condition, the Shift Manager initially assu mes the role of Emergency Director.

Shift Engineers/Shift Technical Advisors function in an oversight role for accident assessment and evaluation of operating conditions. While on duty, SE/STAs diagnose abnormal events and report to t he Shift Manager. In an emergency condition, the SE/STA provides SEP oversight and may assist the Shift Manager in his role as Emergency Director.

In the event of an emergency in which one of the classification levels is declared (Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency), all or a portion of the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan will be activated. The assignment of responsibilities in the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) is ultimately the responsibility of the General Manager, Plant Operations. However, the ERO is predefined and alternate assignments to various positions are specified to provide for automatic, unambiguous manning staffing of the emergency organization within the time necessary to respond to the emergency.

In general, the emergency organization will be housed in five emergency response centers: a. Control Room

b. Technical Support Center

c. Operations Support Center

d. Emergency Operations Facility

e. Joint Information Center

The Control Room is designed to be habitable under accident conditions and shall serve as the on-site Emergency Control Center. Emergency lig hting, power, air filtration-ventilation system, and shielded walls enable the oper ators to remain in the Control Room to ensure that the reactor plant remains in a safe condition. The minimum on-shift staffing is indicated in Figure 5-2.

The Technical Support Center (TSC) will provide Plant management and technical support to Operations per sonnel during emergency c onditions and guidance to Control Room operating personnel to mitigate the effects of the emergency condition.

The TSC organization can be found in Em ergency Implementing Procedure EI-4.1, "Technical Support Center Activation." The Operations Support Center (OSC) will coordinate Emergency Maintenance, Radiation Protection, and Chemistry activities of Plant personnel. The Control Room or TSC (when activated) will direct the priorities for the OSC.

The OSC organization can be found in Emergency Implementing Pr ocedure EI-4.2, "Operations Support Center Activation." The Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) is located in downtown Benton Harbor, approximately 16 miles South Southwest from the Plant. The EOF staff is

responsible for overall management of an emergency and for communicating with external agencies upon transfer of re sponsibility from the Control Room.

Activation of the EOF is mandatory at the Alert, Site Area, and General Emergency Classifications. Activation of the EOF at an Unusual Event will be at the request of the Shift Manager. The EOF will be staffed by Plant personnel. The initial staff may

be supplemented by federal, state, and local officials.

Once activated and operational, the EOF Emergency Director will be responsible for management of overall emergency response. The EOF will coordinate emergency response activities with federal, state, and local agencies to mitigate the consequences of an emergency. The EOF organization can be found in Emergency Implementing Procedure EI-4.3, "Emergency Operations Facility Activation." The EOF provides an alternative facility, with communications capabilities for contacting the Control Room and plant secu rity, to serve as a staging area for augmented emergency response staf f if the site is under th reat of, or experiencing hostile action.

The design features of the EOF are discussed in Palisades Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan, Section 7.0, "Emergency Facilities and Equipment."

The plant Communications personnel shall be responsible for maintenance of the Palisades Nuclear Plant Public Information Policies and Procedures. These provide for disseminating information to the public via the media and establishing a system for rumor control during an emergency. Public Affairs personnel shall coordinate the activation and management of the Joint Information Center (JIC) in cooperation with the Corporate Public Affairs Department. He Public Affairs personnel shall prepare and issue press releases in cooperation with state and local agencies. Reference Palisades Nuclear Plant Emergency Public Information Policies and Procedures for details. Normal Plant staffing provides suffici ent personnel for continuous protracted emergency operation. The extent to whic h the emergency organization is activated is dependent upon the classification of t he emergency. A method for emergency staff augmentation is avail able to the Shift Manager. Figure 5-2 provides requirements for minimum additional staffing and required arrival times. Details of emergency staff augmentation are ava ilable in Emergen cy Implementing Procedure EI-2.2, "Emergency Staff Augmentation." The Shift Manager/EOF Emergency Directo r is responsible for the overall assessment of emergency conditions, espec ially where emergency conditions present a real or potential hazard to of f-site persons or property. The Shift Manager/EOF Emergency Director will have the overall responsibility for operational decisions involving the safety of the Plant and its personnel, and for making recommendations based on technical information supplied by support personnel

regarding the general public during an emergency situation.

He The Shift Manager/EOF Emergency Director will also implement the Palisades Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan through the use of specific Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. The Shift Manager/EOF Emergency Director is

responsible for ensuring the capability for continuous operation of emergency response centers, including personnel and mate rial resources. In addition, the Shift Manager/EOF Emergency Director is responsible for providing off-site officials with pertinent information regarding th e conditions at the Plant.

Any conflicts that should arise betw een the Emergency Plant Manager and the EOF Emergency Director will be resolved by the Site Vice President.

The Shift Manager/Emergency Plant Manager may not delegate the decision to evacuate the site or the decision to authorize exposures that exceed the 10 CFR 20 regulatory exposure limits for emergency workers.

Prior to activation of the EOF, the dec ision to recommend protective actions to off-site organizations also cannot be delegat ed. The EOF Director, in consultation with the Shift Manager, will assume this responsibility after the EOF is activated.

For backshifts and weekends, the Duty Station Manager assumes the role of the Plant General Manager.

The Shift Manager assumes the responsibilities of the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan until relieved by the EOF Director.

The Emergency Plant Manager shall be assigned to the Technical Support Center once it is activated.

Recovery after an emergency condition will be handled by the emergency organization unless conditions indicate that recovery will be complicated or will take

a long period of time. At the discretion of the EOF Emergency Director, the Plant will shift from an emergency organization stru cture to a Recovery Organization.

Guidelines that will be employed for determining this shift are explained in Palisades Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan, Section 9.0, "Recovery."

The Recovery Organization will depend upon the nature of the accident and the situations preceding the accident.

The TSC Engineering Coordinator will also support the EOF Rad Assessment Coordinator in determining how much radioactivity potentially can be released to the atmosphere based on the nature and extent of core damagespent fuel damage.

The potential consequences of some emer gencies may require the support services of off-site individuals, organi zations, and agencies. As a result, local support service arrangements have been made with offsite groups to provide onsite aid in the event of an emergency situation, including those re sulting from hostile actions. Support services encompass such areas as medical assistance, fire control, evacuation, ambulance services, and law enforcement.

Written agreements are entered into to assure these individuals'/agencies'/organizati ons' availability and capabilities. In the written agreements, the agencie s have outlined their respons ibilities or have agreed to their responsibilities as outlined in th is section. A listing of the letters of agreement, contracts, or si gnature pages has been included in Appendix A. In those cases where agency assistance is mandated by law (i

.e., the State of Michigan), a letter of agreement may be excluded from the pP lan. The services provided by local support groups are listed in the following sections.

P

Emergency responsibilities of County Emergency Management include communication support to the responding co unty departments, pr oviding warning and notification to the public, and assuring t he continuation of vital services during the emergency.

Effective coordination and direction of all portions of the emergency organization require almost continuous accident assessment during the course of the emergency. Each emergency class will require similar accident assessment methods; however, each classification imposes a different m agnitude of assessment effort. In the

following steps, the assessment actions to be taken for each emergency

classification are outlined.

The detection of an Unusual Event shall arise from exceeding a specific Emergency Action Level for this class. Detection of the event will come as a result of alarms, instrument readings, recognition through expe rience, or any comb ination thereof. The continuing assessment actions to be performed for this classification of emergency shall be in accordance with t he Emergency Implementing Procedures and shall consist of the normal monitoring of Control Room and other Plant instrumentation and status indication until the situation is resolved. If a fire is the reason for the declaration of an Unusual Event, the Shift Manager will make continuing assessments based on his knowledge and experience on whether offsite firefighting assistance is needed.

When an accident has been classified as an Alert by the Shift Manager, assessment actions shall be performed in accordance with the Emergency Implementing Procedures for an Alert.

These actions include:

a. Accountability of onsite personnel.

b. Staff augmentation, as needed.

c. Increased surveillance of in-plant instrumentation.

P

d. Activation of appropriate emergency facilities.

e. Dispatch of shift personnel, if possibl e, to the identified problem area for confirmation and visual assessment.

f. Dispatch of onsite Radiation Monitori ng Teams to monitor for possible release and to provide confirmation of correct accident classification.

g. If a radiological accident is o ccurring, surveillance of the in-plant instrumentation is necessary to obtain meteorological and radiological data required for calculating or estimating projected doses. This dose assessment activity shall continue until terminati on of the emergency in order that the updating of initial assessments may be provided to all concerned offsite agencies, the Shift Manager, and EOF Emergency Director. Emergency Implementing Procedures are provided to ai d in a rapid, consistent projection of doses.

The assessment actions for the Site Area Emergency classification are similar to the actions for an Alert; however, due to t he increased magnitude of the possible release of radioactive material, a significantly larger assessment will occur. The necessary personnel for this assessment effort shall be provided by mobilization of the onsite and offsite emergency organizations.

Specifically:

a. An increased amount of Plant in strumentation shall be monitored , in particular, indications of core status (eg, in-core thermocouple readings, etc) shall be monitored. b. Radiological monitoring efforts shall be increased. Onsite and offsite radiological monitoring teams will be dispatched. In addition to beta-gamma field measurements, change out of environmental thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD), air sampling, and colle ction of the environmental media for assessment of radioactive material transport and deposition may also be

performed.

P

c. Dose assessment activities wi ll be conducted more frequently with an increased emphasis on dose projections for use as a factor in determining the necessity for protective actions for t he public. Radiological (eg, TLDs) and meteorological instrumentation readings shall be used to project the dose rate at predetermined distances from the Pl ant, and to determine the integrated dose received. In reporting the dose pr ojections to offsite agencies, the dose rate, dose, and the basis for the time used for the dose estimate shall always be provided. Any confirmation of dose rates by offsite Radiation Monitoring Teams shall be reflected in reporting and/or revising the dose estimate information provided to offsite agencies.

Dose projections shall be consider ed with respect to the Environmental Protection Agency Protective Action Guides (Table 6-1). Reporting of assessments to offsite authorities shall in clude the relationship of the dose to these guidelines. Emergency Implementing Procedures will be provided for

recording all pertinent information.

Assessment actions for the General Emergency classification shall be the same as for the Site Area Emergency with some possibl e shift of emphasis to greater offsite radiation monitoring and dose projections ex tending to distances farther from the site. The Emergency Implementing Procedures (reference Emergency Implementing Procedure EI-6, "Offsite Dose Calculation and Recommendations for Protective Actions") contain several methods for ca lculating offsite dose to population from accidental releases. These methods include:

a. Computer Method - Implements the above method using a personal computer to speed the process.

b. Manual Method - A pencil and paper met hod for calculating offsite dose using precalculated diffusion factors and a straight line Gaussian methodology.

c. Segmented Gaussian - Vari able trajectory Plume model.

The above methods have been developed in cooperation with state agencies and provide methods for rapid, accurate dose estimates.

P

Specially assigned personnel at all designated emergency centers have the responsibility for collecting, recording, and analyzing data transmitted to them. Preplanned emergency logs and procedures are provided to ensure that all necessary information is received and recorded. Included will be:

a. Data from emergency survey teams as available. This will be recorded to define the affected environs.

b. Evacuated Plant personnel will be questioned to gather all possible information on observed conditions.

c. In addition to incoming data, a l og of events occurring at the emergency centers (TSC, OSC, EOF) and Control Room will be kept. Individual sections of this log will record such items as personnel exposure, contamination levels, communications, and check-off lists.

Information from per sonnel evacuating the site may be collected at the evacuation control point as directed by the Emergency Plant Manager. This information shall be reported to the TS C when possible.

The EOF Emergency Director is notified of assessment results from the site and from offsite support agencies. The EOF Emergency Director, in turn, is responsible for communication back to those groups so that emergency measures may be modified as necessary.

Detailed operating procedures are ava ilable to the operators for use during emergencies as well as during normal operat ions. Specific emergency procedures are provided to assist the operators in placing the Plant in a safe condition and taking the necessary supplemental correct ive actions. In addition, operations personnel are trained in the operation of the Plant systems and their associated procedures and are, therefore, capable of taking approp riate corrective actions based on their training, knowledge, and experience.

P

Corrective actions shall be planned events th at are taken to lessen or terminate the emergency situation.

Planned radioactive releases or corrective actions that may result in a radioactive release shall be evaluated by the EOF Emergency Director, and his staff, as far in advance of the event as is possible. Such events and data pertaining to the release shall be repor ted to the appropriate offsite emergency response organization and/or agencies.

Provisions for firefighting and contro l are described in the Fire Protection Implementing Procedures. The Covert Township Fire Department and the South Haven Fire Department provide Offsite backup firefighting support.

In-plant firefighting equipment ranges from portable extinguishers to automatic sprinkler control. The Plant emergency organization includes a trained fire brigade for immediate response to any fire situation.

The Van Buren Dispatch, via 911, is first to be called. They are required to dispatch both Covert and South Haven Fire Depar tments. These departments consist of personnel trained for firefighting, including situations involving radioactive contamination. Additional support is available from fire departments in nearby Allegan and Berrien Counties through mut ual aid agreements. These fire departments are also trained and equipped for rescue work and control of hazardous gas leaks, including chlorine gas.

The Palisades Plant staff is comprised of technically and vocationally trained personnel capable of improv ising necessary repair and control measures for correction of an emergency situation. Wherever possible, corrective measures are

anticipated and included in em ergency and operating procedures.

System design is aimed at automatic corrective actions, such as Plant shutdown and system isolation, whenever operating parameters becom e abnormal. Operating procedures are written for manual control of these same situations, should automatic features fail.

P

Protective actions are emergency measur es taken during or after an emergency situation that are intended to minimize or eliminate the hazard to the health and safety of the general public and/or Plant personnel. Such actions taken onsite are

the responsibility of the Entergy Corporat ion, while those offsite actions are the responsibility of the State of Michigan and lo cal political jurisdictions. Protective Action Guides for the Environmental Protection Agency and the State of Michigan are shown on Tables 6-1 and 6-2. All visito rs to the site protected area shall be either escorted by an employee knowledgea ble as to the Emergency Plan response actions or shall receive training on acti ons required by them during an emergency.

During an emergency, the relocation of personnel may be required in order to prevent or minimize exposure to radiation and radioactive materials. The following steps present information on policies applicable to such situations:

a. Plant Site

1. Notification All persons onsite at the time of an Alert, Site Area, or General Emergency shall be notified of the emergency by a two-minute steady siren and an announcement over the public address system in the assembly areas. Notification of an Unusual Event should be over the

Plant public address system. For the Alert and above, personnel shall be instructed to report to assembly areas for accountability, monitoring, and possible evacuation. Personnel a ccountability shall be completed in approximately 30 minutes. Specific assembly areas are designated

in the Emergency Implementing Procedures. All personnel shall be trained in the locations of the asse mbly areas, or be escorted by an employee who is so trained. At t he assembly area, members of the emergency organization shall direct efforts per the applicable Emergency Implementing Procedure.

These procedures shall provide contingency plans for weather, traffic, and radiological impediments to evacuation.

P

2. Site Access Control Provisions for control of access to the Palisades site have been included in the Safeguar ds Contingency Procedures to take care of personnel entering for business pur poses and for those who might inadvertently enter. Access to the exclusion areas of the Plant is controlled by the Plant security forc

e. Offsite support is provided by local and/or state la w enforcement personnel.

3. Monitoring of Evacuees A combination of checking electr onic dosimeters and questioning of evacuees will be used to initially determine if there were any high external exposures involved in the emergency. For any known or suspected high exposures, the perm anent dosimeters wil l be read as soon as possible and further inve stigation will be conducted to determine the amount of exposure or necessary actions to be taken.

Monitoring for contamination and inte rnal ingestion at the assembly areas will be accomplished by us ing portable instrumentation and questioning. Priority for decontam ination will be given persons found with the highest levels of contamination. Any persons suspected or known to have ingested radioactivity will be whole-body counted, as soon as conditions permit, to assess their internal exposure.

Decontamination supplies for evacuees shall be available.

4. Egress Routes Three potential routes ar e available: Plant access road to the east and the beach to the north or south. Unless conditions dictate otherwise, the Plant access road to the east will be the primary evacuation route. An evacuation procedure shall require a personnel accountability check at the appropriate control poin t/monitoring station. Security

officers shall be dispatched by the Emergency Plant Manager to stop ingress from the access roads and to assist Plant personnel

evacuating the site. A control point/monitoring station shall be established along the egress route in an area expected to be outside the path of possible radioactive releases.

P

b. Offsite Areas

1. Agency Responsibilities The Palisades Nuclear Plant is located in Van Buren County (Covert Township), and the 10-mile emergency planning zone includes portions of Allegan and Berrien counties, including the city of South Haven. In a radiological emergency, operational control will be from the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) in Lansing, with local operation control from the county EOCs. Each county has an Emergency Preparedness Plan which is a legal document in compliance with Act 390 of the Mi chigan Public Acts of 1976.

The Michigan Department of Environm ental Quality is responsible for directing radiation control progr ams and emergency responses within the state as stated in Act 368, Mi chigan Public Acts of 1978 and the Michigan Emergency Management Plan (MEMP), and the Governor's

Executive Order 1996-1.

The Deputy State Director of Emergency Management of the Michigan State Police provides overall coordination of emergency operations, including the use of all state gover nment resources upon proclamation of a State of Disaster, or State of Emergency by the Governor. The Michigan State Police will coordinate t he disaster response activities of

all departments of State Government.

2. Notification and Response

The local government will provid e notification of the general public involved and define and identify this population. The state government will give detailed directions for prot ection of this population, including provisions for evacuation of pers onnel from affected sectors of the environs if necessary.

P

3. Protective Actions

Protective action procedures are covered in the Michigan Emergency Preparedness Plan and the Van Bur en, Allegan, and Berrien County Emergency Plans. In summary, thes e plans contain the following:

(a) A public warning system compos ed of two components, alert and notification.

(1) The alert component is comprised of a siren system which provides coverage for a 10 mile radius around the

plant, and allows the resident and transient populations to be warned within 15 minutes of the issuance of a

protective action.

(2) The notification component cons ists of several local radio stations that broadcast appropriate initial and follow-up

messages on protective actions to be taken.

(3) If a backup means of notif ication is necessary, other television/radio communications, vehicles with mobile

public address systems (Route Al erting) and other means as necessary can be utilized.

(b) Predesignated areas are based on continuous mile circles from the Palisades Plant. These areas will be used by the

responsible authorities in or dering protective actions.

(c) A communication system has been established for emergency notification of offsite agencie s having protective response assignments.

(d) Emergency response and evacuation plans for offsite areas have been formulated by state and local agencies. Evacuation clear times for areas near Palis ades are shown in Appendix C.

P

This section describes the provisions for preventing or minimizing direct or subsequent ingestion exposure to radioactive materials deposited on the ground or other contaminable surfaces.

a. Plant Area

Access to the owner-controlled area sha ll be controlled. In addition, within the owner-controlled area, there are no areas for pr oducing agricultural products. In-plant contamination control shall be exercised in accordance with approved radiation protection procedures.

b. Offsite Areas

Criteria for preventing or minimi zing ingestion of, or exposure to, contaminated materials or areas is contained in the Michigan Emergency Management Plan.

Included are:

1. Isolation or quarantine and area access control.

2. Control of the distribution of a ffected commercial agricultural crops.

3. Control of public water supplies.

4. Means for providing advisory informa tion regarding the use of affected home food and water supplies.

5. Criteria for permitting return to normal use.

Action levels and responsibilities for execution of thes e measures are included. Contaminated areas will be barricaded and posted to control access until time allows for decon tamination activities. Michigan Department of Environmental Quality representatives will be responsible for these actions and will be assisted by other Michigan State Departments and/or Ente rgy Corporation upon request.

P

Although an emergency situation transcends the normal requirements for limiting exposure, there are suggested levels of ex posure acceptable in emergencies. Even under these conditions, every reasonable effort to minimize exposure must be made and personnel must be provided with appropriate monitoring devices. Three categories of risk versus benefit must be considered:

a. Saving of human life and reduction of injury.

b. Protection of health and safety of the public.

c. Protection of property.

In order to avoid restricti ng actions that may be necessary to save lives, it shall be left to the judgment of the individual to determine the amount of exposure that he will accept to perform an emergency action that will result in the saving of human life.

Emergency team members are instructed in radiation effects and the risks involved for emergency doses. Basic guidelines provided to emergency team members are the EPA recommendations contained in Table 6-3. These exposures must be authorized by the Emergency Plant Manager based on the recommendation of the TSC Rad Coordinator.

The Radiation Protection Pr ocedures shall be followed. In the event emergency exposure limits are approved, the same administrative methods for dose control shall be used with the higher emergency exposure limits.

Once the emergency condition has been miti gated, steps shall be taken to recover from the incident. All actions from this point shall be preplanned in order to limit exposures. Normal exposure limits will be used, areas will be controlled, and exposure of personnel documented.

P

Onsite personnel decontamination facilities for emergency conditions are fully equipped with decontamination material. The decontamination facility at Palisades Plant is located at the access c ontrol area of the auxiliary building. The decontamination facility consists of a shower, sink, a nd first-aid kits.

Decontamination supplies such as various decontamination solutions and surgical brushes will be stored in the decontamination facility.

Emergency equipment located around the site is available and includes personnel monitoring equipment. There are also additional personnel m onitoring equipment located at the access control area including dosimeters, and high and low-ran ge survey instruments. A comprehensive list of materials and equipment availabl e for use can be found in Appendix E.

In an emergency situation, decontamination is the responsibility of the Radiation Monitoring Team. When decontamination of an area or equipm ent is required, personnel from Operations, Maintenance, and Radiation Protection will work jointly.

Medical first-aid training is provided to designated members of the Plant emergency organization that, as a minimum, includes the Red Cross Multimedia course or equivalent, combined with the American Heart Association Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation course. This training for me mbers of the Plant staff also includes methods of handling contaminated patients and/or injuries. At least one person on

each operating shift is required to have this first-aid training.

The Covert Township Fire Department ambulance personnel and the South Haven Area Emergency Services ambulance staff are trained in caring for radiologically contaminated victims.

In the event of a serious accident at Palisades Plant requiring medical treatment, agreements have been made with the area hospitals. These hospitals are:

a. South Haven Community Hospital, South Haven, Michigan.

b. Lakeland Regional Medical Center, St Joseph, Michigan.

This section describes the equipment and facilities that are utilized to:

a. Assess the extent of accident hazards.

b. Mobilize the resources required to mitigate the consequences of an accident.

c. Provide protection to Plant personnel.

d. Support accident mitigation operations.

e. Provide immediate care for injured/contaminated personnel.

f. Effect damage control.

Onsite emergency support centers include th e Control Room and two other areas at Palisades. These areas are designated as the Technical Support Center and the Operations Support Center as described below.

The principal emergency control center is the Plant's Control Room. Operations personnel will report to the Cont rol Room and control all evolutions from this central location. Self-Contained Breathing Apparatuses are located in or near the Control Room for personnel protection from inhalation.

P

The Technical Support Center is located in the area immediately adjacent to the Control Room and includes the Shift Manager's office, the viewing gallery hallway, and the adjacent open work area. The TSC will accommodate personnel who will provide technical support to Operations and Control Room personnel during emergency conditions. Complete record keeping and communications capabilities have been installed. All necessary equi pment, furnishings, and documents are stored in the immediate area and are readily available for use. The TSC may be activated for Unusual Events, and will be ac tivated for Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency conditions.

Further details concerning staffing, equipment, furnishings, procedures, and activation are outlined in the Em ergency Implementing Procedures.

Habitability of the Contro l Room and the TSC is assured by the filtered ventilation system that serves this area. In addition, Self-C ontained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) is provided for up to eight individuals. An area radiation monitor in the viewing gallery area reads out in t he Control Room to provide external dose rate data. Air sampling and analysis equipment are provided in the emergency equipment kits to monitor airborne radioactivity levels. Personal radiation dosimetry issued to some site personnel and visitors will provide individual radiation dose assessment data. In the event that the Technical Support Center is not habitable, an alternate center may be established at the OSC, Mechanical Maintenance Shop, or other site buildings.

P

The Operations Support Center (OSC) is located near the men's locker room in the Service Building that is connected to the rest of the Plant by hallways.

The function of the OSC is to assemble and coordinate necessary personnel from Chemistry, Radiation Pr otection, Operations (NPOsNon-Certified Operators

), I&C, Electrical, and Mechanical. These groups will be dispatched for specific jobs as directed by the TSC.

Additional details concerning staffi ng, equipment, furnishings, procedures, and activation are outlined in the Em ergency Implementing Procedures.

Habitability of the OSC is verified using available emergency kit equipment. Equipment is provided for measuring external dose rates and airborne radioactive levels. The OSC ventilation system is independent of the Auxiliary Building system.

This minimizes airborne contamination as a re sult of events in the Auxiliary Building.

In the event the OSC should not be habitabl e, alternate locations such as the Mechanical Maintenance Shop or permanent construction buildings are available for use.

A maintenance kit containing only maintenance supplies is kept in the men's locker room. The Palisades Emergency Operations Facili ty (EOF) is located in downtown Benton Harbor, approximately 16 mile s South Southwest from the Plant. The EOF assumes overall responsibility for Entergy Corporation emergency response. The EOF is designed to provide assistance in the decision-making process to protect the public

health and safety, and to control radiological monitoring teams offsite. The EOF may be activated for the Unusual Event, and s hall be fully activated for the Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency categories.

To assure the safety of the staff, equipment is provided for measuring external dose rates, and airborne radioactivity levels.

The staff is comprised of personnel from the Plant. In additi on, liaison personnel from the county, state, and federal governments will also be present in the EOF.

P

The EOF has ready access to up-to-date Plant records, procedures, and emergency plans needed to exercise overall utilit y resources management and for recovery management. Hard copy records stored and maintained at the EOF include, but are not limited to:

Palisades Technical Specifications Palisades Operating Procedures Palisades Final Safety Analysis Report Palisades Abnormal Operating Procedures Palisades Emergency Operating Procedures Palisades Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan Palisades Emergency Impl ementing Procedures Michigan Emergency Management Plan

Van Buren County Emergency Plan

Berrien County Emergency Plan

Allegan County Emergency Plan Palisades Piping and Instrument Diagrams

Other up-to-date records including radiological records, procedures, drawings, schematics, and diagrams are readily av ailable via transmi ttal to the EOF.

The EOF shall provide analysis of field monitoring data, and coordination for the collection sample media.

Potential emergencies coul d directly impact those individuals living within the 10-Mile Emergency Planning Zone, and indirect ly affect property within the 50-Mile Emergency Planning Zone. Therefore, emergency planning efforts have been initiated by those affected counties within the 10-Mile Emergency Planning Zone. The affected counties are: Van Buren, Berrien, and Allegan Counties.

Each of these counties has established and maintains an Emergency Operations Center (EOC). These centers are located as follows:

a. Van Buren Count y Courthouse Annex Paw Paw, Michigan

b. Berrien County Sheriff's Department Benton Harbor, Michigan

c. Allegan Central Dispatch Allegan, Michigan P

When it is determined that personnel and re sources of state gov ernment are needed to support disaster operations of affect ed local governments, the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) is staffed in Lansing. This faci lity is staffed at any level of emergency depending on potential fo r required state response.

The Michigan State Field Team Center loca tion will be determined at the time of the incident by personnel at the State EOC. That facility is equipped with the necessary communications control capabilities (when staffed), from wh ich the State will dispatch offsite-monitoring teams. All decision makers remain in Lansing.

A Joint Information Center (JIC) will be established at the combined EOF/JIC located at 330 W Main, Benton Harbor. The JIC will be staffed by public information representatives of t he utility, state, county, and federal governments. The Plant Communications Specialist will be located in this facility upon its activation.

The members of the em ergency organizations require correct and up-to-date information relevant to the potential or r eal emergency condition. Therefore, the communications systems that will be used by the emergency organizations must meet the following basic criteria:

a. Provide for prompt initial notification.

b. Maintain reliability.

c. Provide for alternate methods of communications.

Communications equipment available for offsite use include:

a. Commercial telephones - separate outside lines.

b. Intracompany telephone system.

c. State Police Radio - through Security Department.

d. Emergency Network System telephone to NRC.

P

e. Commercial telephone to Van Buren County Sheriff's Department, Paw Paw.

f. Commercial telephone to State Police Operation Center, Lansing.

g. Power failure phones in major onsite response centers (Control Room, TSC, OSC).

h. Satellite phones in major onsite response centers (Control Room, TSC, OSC, EOF).

Table 7-1 summarizes communications resources.

The Radiation Monitoring System measures, indicate s, and records the presence and level of radiation, and alerts Plant personnel to abnormal levels of radioactivity, thereby contributing to personnel pr otection and proper operation of Plant equipment.

The system consists of permanently in stalled, continuous monitoring devices together with a program and prov isions for specific sample collections and laboratory analyses. The system is designed to provide information for use in evaluating the radiological consequences of normal Pl ant operation, anticipated operational occurrences, and accidents. Control actions are initiated on the required systems when radiation levels exce ed predetermined amounts.

These monitoring functions are performed by the following subsystems and programs:

a. Area Radiation Monitoring

b. Liquid Radiation Monitoring

c. Airborne Radiat ion Monitoring

1. Gas

2. Particulate

3. Iodine

P

Data from these subsystems are displayed by readouts, annunciators, and recorders located in the Control Room. (Portabl e airborne and area moni tors are capable of being plugged into receptacles throughout the Plant.) Instrumentation power for the Radiation Monitoring System will be supplied from a reliable source.

d. Area Radiation Monitors Area radiation monitors are primarily for the purpos e of measuring radiation dose rates for protection of Plant per sonnel and providing supporting data to the surveillance of Plant radiation levels.

Monitor alarm setpoints depend on t he normal background radiation at the detector location and the calculated leve ls for abnormal conditions. The monitors will operate within the range of normal environmental conditions applicable to their locations.

Monitored points within the Plant are in areas where personnel exposure to radiation is most likely, and at appr opriate access control boundaries.

Readouts and alarms are provided both locally and in the Control Room.

e. Airborne Radiation Monitors

The radiation monitors located in the gaseous release paths monitor radioactivity with sufficient sensitivity to demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 20 limits. They also provide sampling capability, ie, removable filters and/or gas sample stop valves. Sample s analyzed with laboratory equipment permit evaluation of compliance to more restrictive regulations and provide data required.

f. Liquid Radiation Monitors

The monitoring systems consist of fixed detectors that display radiation levels in the Control Room.

Testing and maintenance features, such as remotely operated check sources, flushing connections, and cutoff valves ar e included for periodic system check and/or calibration. The liquid radiation monitors are designed to ensure that

liquid effluent releases are maintai ned below the DAC val ues of 10 CFR 20 by the use of alarms and automatic shutoff features.

P

Onsite meteorological data is provided by a meteorological tower located in the northeast sector of the site. This system is primarily c oncerned with providing data for estimating the actual or potential effe cts of an accidental, airborne release of radioactivity.

The following data is available:

a. Wind direction and speed at 10 and 60 meters.

b. Stability class.

This data is transmitted to the Control Room at 15-minute averages. A remote interrogation capability is available. Details of the system as it applies to emergency offsite dose calculation are provided in Emergency Implementing Procedure EI-6.7, "Plant Site Meteorological System." Details on the system in general are provided in "Palisades Meteorological Monitoring Project Plan."

Backup meteorological data can be obtained through use of Emergency Implementing Procedure EI-6.8, "Back up and Supplemental Meteorology."

Severe weather warnings are provided to the Plant by a private consultant. Predictions of sky to ground lightening, tornados, and wind speeds in excess of 40 mph are reported to the Control Room.

The Fire Protection System, including monitoring devices and fire suppression equipment, is completely detailed in the Fi re Protection Implem enting Procedures.

P

Radiological Monitoring Teams shall be activated at the direction of the Shift Manager or OSC Manager. If the OSC has not been activated, notification should be made directly to the Radiation Protection Office. Monitoring teams should consist of two Radiation Protection members.

The emergency vehi cle shall provide transportation and be equipped with radio co mmunications and equipment suitable for monitoring and/or sampling gaseous or liquid releases. The equipment and procedures supplied to the offsite team(s) provide the capability to sample for radioiodine in concentration as low as 10

-7 micro-curies per cubic centimeter.

Following staff augmentat ion, the estimated deployment time for a monitoring team is 30 minutes.

a. The Environmental Monitoring Progr am provides a number of TLDs and airborne particulate sampling stations that are valuable for long-term appraisal of integrated dose.

b. The Michigan Department of Environm ental Quality provides offsite field monitoring capability within ap proximately three hours.

c. The State Police Emergency Management Division can request aerial and field monitoring through the Department of Energy.

The Plant laboratory and counting rooms have the capability to perform the analyses required under emergency conditions. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, Radiological Protection Section operates a radiological laboratory in Lansing. Palisades Plant, and the DC Cook Nuclear Plant, may exchange services for radiological laboratory analyses, laboratory boron analys es, and backup dispersion meteorology information.

GEL Laboratory has agreed to provide the fo llowing services: collecting, analyzing, evaluating, and reporting on appropriate sa mples as needed for protective action

information. GEL Laboratory maintains a laboratory in CharlsetonCharleston, South Carolina which has the capability to perform chemical and radiological analyses.

P

At least one person having American Red Cross Multimedia First Aid or equivalent will be available onsite at all times.

Specialized training is given for the treatment and handling of contaminated personnel and injuries.

Emergency call lists for ambulance service and medical facilities are kept current in the Emergency Implementing Procedures.

There are first aid kits in appropriate areas of the Plant. Accountability and inventory checks are performed quarterly and after use.

Personnel decontamination facilities for emergency conditions include showers, sinks, cleaning agents, and fi rst aid kits, which are main tained near the Radiation Protection access control area. These supplies include special materials and Personnel Decontamination Procedures. Additional personnel decontamination equipment and facilities shall be availa ble for decontamination of evacuees.

Company vehicles maintained onsite and/

or private vehicles can be used to transport injured and/or contam inated personnel for medical treatment. In addition, ambulances are available from the Cove rt and South Haven Fire Departments, depending on the severity of the situation.

South Haven Community Hospital and Lakeland Regional Medical Center/St Joseph, have agreed to accept contaminated, in jured patients.

P

Listings by general category of typical emergency protective equipment and supplies that are stored and maintained for emer gency purposes are contained in Appendix E of the Plan. Additional protective actions considered as measures for minimizing radiological exposure and cont amination of Plant personnel include use of protective equipment and clothing as described below:

a. Individual Respiratory Protection

Respiratory protection devic es will be issued when necessary to significantly reduce the internal exposure to radi onuclides. Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus will also be used in emergencies involving smoke, gases, oxygen

deficient atmospheres, or unknown conditions. Both Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus and air-pur ifying type full-face respirators are maintained in or near the Control Room, and a la rger supply of this equipment is available at the Radiation Protection area in access control. Respiratory protection devices will be issued to su rvey teams, rescue teams, and other personnel required to be in areas of suspected or known high airborne radioactivity. A reserve br eathing air supply that is of a rate sufficient to support Control Room personnel for an ext ended period of time is available.

In addition to breathing apparatus, thyroid-blocking agents (i

.e., potassium iodide) will be dispensed for onsite personnel in accordance with Emergency

Implementing Procedures.

P

b. Protective Clothing

Supplies of this apparel include coveralls, rubber gloves, shoe covers and boots, caps and hoods, and plastic suits.

Inventories are maintained for normal Plant use in access control and in the stockroom.

Additional supplies of protective cl othing are in the emergency kits. This clothing will be issued to survey teams, rescue teams, and other personnel

required to enter known or suspect areas of radioactive cont amination. It will also be issued to persons required to wo rk in or occupy contaminated areas. For emergency conditions, normal street clothing is considered as protective apparel, which is supplemented as nece ssary to protect skin surfaces, and which can be cleaned or discarded later. Protective clothing is distributed offsite only to members of those support agencies required to occupy contaminated areas for some purpose.

In this event, Entergy Corporation will provide supplies to those people as available.

c. Breathing Air

A local supplier of compressed air is capable of providing emergency air cylinders on a 24-hour basis.

It is intended that this Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan, although considered part of Palisades Nuclear Power Plant's Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), be maintained as a separate document.

The Site Vice President is the individual with overall authority and responsibility for the Site Emergen cy Preparedness.

In order to meet t he constantly changing conditions, methods have been implemented to ensure that the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan and Implementing Procedures remain effective over the life of the Plant. Efforts shall be made to assure continuous emergency preparedness and operational readiness among Entergy personnel and the offsite response agencies and organizations.

Palisades Plant personnel, including non-permanent personnel, will receive training pertinent to the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan and Implementing Procedures.

Persons assigned specific responsibi lities during an emergency will receive additional training appropriate to their respective assignment

s. The responsibility for training is that of the Training Manager. He may delegate specialty-training responsibilities to personnel qualified to per form such training, for example, State or County training personnel. Governance of Emergency Response Organization

Training for Entergy personnel is provided by Entergy Procedure P-EN-TQ-110, "Emergency Response Organization Training." This procedure describes the responsibilities for conducting and administering initial and continuing emergency preparedness training; provides clarification and details to implement a remediation process; and follows the guidance of P-EN-TQ-201,"Systematic Approach to Training Process," and P-EN-EP-308, "Emergency Planning Critiques."

P

Members of the operating staff need to be familiar with their specific duties and responsibilities in the event of an accident at the Palisades Plant. To accomplish this, periodic drills and exercises will be con ducted to test the state of emergency preparedness. The prime objective of the drills and exercise is to verify emergency preparedness of participating personnel , organizations, and agencies.

Each drill and exercise will be conducted to meet the following objectives:

a. Ensure that the participants are familiar with their respective duties and responsibilities.

b. Verify the adequacy of the Palisades Plant Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan and the methods used in the Implementing Procedures.

c. Test communication networks and systems.

These drills and exercises will be conducted to simulate actual emergency conditions. Drill scenarios will be prepared that involve participat ion of several emergency teams and will include specific parts of the onsite and offsite emergency organizations such as state, county, and federal organizations, and local services support personnel and organizations. Offsite emergency planning pe rsonnel will be given advance notice of the schedule date of the drill or exercise, al though the actual details shall be kept confidential from Offsite Response Players.

Official observers will be provided with materials in accordance with their requirements.

P

Recommendations for revisions to the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan and/or Implementing Procedures and/

or upgrading of emergency equipment and supplies as a result of a drill or exercise will be forwarded to Emergency Planning by observers and participants for inclusion in a formal critique. After review, recommendati ons will be forwarded to the Manager, Emergency Preparedness for comments. Recommended changes that are approved by the Regulatory and Perfo rmance Improvement Director will be incorporated into the Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan and Implementing Procedures. Records shall be maintained on drills and exercises conducted at the Palisades Plant.

a. Medical Drill A Medical drill shall be conducted at l east once per calendar year. The drill shall involve the participation of local medical support personnel and organizations (eg, physicians, ambulance se rvices, hospital, etc). Scenarios may include cases of radiation overexposure, contaminat ed personnel and/or contaminated/injured personnel.

b. Fire Emergency Drill

Drills will be conducted in accordance with the Palisades Fire Plan which has been reviewed and approved by the NRC.

billing statements, telephone book inserts, and posting information documents in public areas.

At least annually, Entergy Corporation and the local and stat e governments will update the information, if necessary, for me mbers of the public within the 10-Mile Emergency Planning Zone.

The Palisades Plant Site Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan involves the coordination of Entergy personnel and offsite support agenc ies. To achieve and maintain the

most efficient course of emergency actions, the Palisades Plant Post-ShutdownSite Emergency Plan and Implementing Procedu res, including appended letters of agreement, will be reviewed on an annual basis and updated as needed. These

reviews are conducted to comply with the Entergy procedures, federal regulations, and operation license provisions.

P

Proposed revisions to the Post-ShutdownSite Emergency Plan, Emergency Implementing Procedures and appended Letters of Agreement shall receive an effectiveness review in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q). If the change to the Post-ShutdownSite Emergency Plan reduces the effect iveness of the Plan, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) shall review and approve the change prior to implementation. The proposed change shall be reviewed by the Management and

Safety Review Committee (MSRC) prior to Plant Licensing submitting the proposed change to the NRC.

Proposed revisions to the Post-ShutdownSite Emergency Plan shall be reviewed and approved in accordance with the Entergy Procedure P-EN-OM-119, "On-Site Safety Review Committee."

When revisions to the Post-ShutdownSite Emergency Plan affect offsite support agencies, they shall be notified as the changes occur.

Editorial changes to the Post-ShutdownSite Emergency Plan or Emergency Implementing Procedures such as titles and telephone lists are not subject to the review process described above.

An independent review of the Emergency Prepar edness Program shall be conducted in accordance with 10CFR50.54(t).

The review shall include the Post-ShutdownSite Emergency Plan, Emergency Implementing Procedures, training, drills and exercises, equipment, and interfaces with state and local governments. Records of the review shall be maintained for at least 5 years. Emergency Planning shall ensure state and loca l governments have access to appropriate findings.

As the Post-ShutdownSite Emergency Plan is reviewed, the emergency organization or procedures may be changed as a result of the following:

a. Drills may detect deficiencies and may indicate a more desirable organization or procedure.

b. Changes in key personnel involv ed in the organization or procedure.

c. Changes in the Plant's organizational structure.

d. Changes in the functions of supporting agencies, resulting from reorganization, personnel chan ges, and equipment requirements.

Designated emergency equipment and supplies and their storage locations will be listed in the Implementing Procedures.

Equipment, supplies, and parts having shelf lives shall be checked and replaced as nec essary. Operational readiness of emergency equipment and supplies can be assured by conducting surveillance

testing, maintenance checks, calibration, or inventory of all supplies and conducting an annual review of the list of equipment important to Emergency Planning.

The Emergency Preparedness Section controls for the Palisades Plant Meteorological Monitoring Program are defined in Palisades Administrative

Procedure 1.14, "Meteorological Monitoring Program." The Dose Assessment Computer Programs are in accordance with Entergy Procedure P-EN-IT-103, "Nuclear Cyber Security Program." In any emergency, the immediate action is directed to limiting the consequences of the incident in a manner that will afford maximum protection of the Plant personnel and the public. Once the immediate corrective and protective actions have established an effective control over the incident situation, the emergency actions will shift into the recovery phase.

A recovery plan, from a practical st andpoint, must be flexible enough to adapt to existing, rather than theoretical, conditions.

It is not possible to anticipate in

advance all of the conditions that may be encountered in an emergency situation;

therefore, the Palisades Post-ShutdownSite Emergency Plan is addressed to general principles that will serve as a guide for developing a flexible plan of action.

P

In the period immediately following an incide nt, initial radiation monitoring functions will involve only gross hazard evaluations and isolation and definiti on of radiological problem areas. This immediate radiation surveillance activity is intended to provide the basic information for the seco nd stage of reentry and recovery.

9.1 The following is a brief description of actions that will be examined as required prior to authorizing reentry by the emergency staff.

9.1.1 Review available radiation surveillance data. Determine Plant areas potentially affected by radiation and contamination.

9.1.2 Review radiation exposures of personnel to participate in recovery operations. Determine need for additional personnel.

9.1.3 Review adequacy of radiation survey instrumentation and equipment (type, ranges, number, calibration, etc).

9.1.4 Preplan survey team activities:

a. Areas to be surveyed

b. Anticipated radiation a nd contamination levels

c. Radiation survey equipment required

d. Shielding requirements and availability

e. Protective clothi ng and equipment required

f. Access control procedures (issuance of RWP)

g. Exposure control limits and personnel dosimetry required

h. Decontaminat ion requirements

i. Communications required

9.2 The initial reentry into the Plant areas should encompass the following (in order of priority):

9.2.1 Determine initial recovery operations.

9.2.2 Identify hazards or pot ential hazards associated with the recovery operations.

P

9.2.3 Conduct comprehensive radiation surveillance of Plant facilities and define radiological problem areas.

9.2.4 Isolate and post areas in the Plant with appropriate warning signs and rope barriers, as Radiation Areas, High R adiation Areas, and C ontaminated Areas, as appropriate.

9.3 The nature and extent of the emergency situation will determine what recovery operations are required. The Recovery Or ganization described in Section 5 will be established as directed by the Recovery Manager.

9.3.1 In order for the recovery phase of the emergency to commence, the conditions which caused the incident must no longer exis

t. It is the responsibility of the EOF Emergency Director to determine that the facility and/or surroundings are safe.

9.3.2 The following criteria must be met befor e the recovery and reentry phase can begin:

a. The Plant is in a controlled and stable condition,

b. The release of radioactive materials to the environment is under control or has ceased.

c. In-plant radiation levels are stable or decreasing.

d. Fire, flood, etc, is under control or has ceased.

e. At least one level of redundancy in plant systems should be available to prevent reinitiation of the event.

f. Consensus has been reached among t he SED, EOF Director, NRC, and the State. 9.4 The initial objectives of the recovery program are the determina tion of the damage to equipment, the installation of shielding, rope barriers and signs, the application of clearance tags, decontamination, and cleanup as required to place the Plant in an

acceptable long-term condition.

Other recovery operations will not be initiated until the area affected by the emergency has been defined. Particular attention will be directed toward isolating and tagging out components and systems as required to control or minimize hazards. A system atic investigation will be conducted to determine the equipment damaged and the extent of the damage.

P

9.5 Once the initial objectives are completed, a detailed investi gation of the accident causes and consequences both to the Plant and to the environment will be conducted. Determination will be made as to the equipment repair work required as well as the need to modify Plant operat ing procedures. Repair work and approved modifications shall be carried out as authorized. Test programs to confirm fitness for return to service will be developed and executed.

9.6 Recovery operations will be conducted in compliance with normal operational radiation exposure levels as specified in 10 CFR 20. When possible, any necessary releases of radiation during recovery will be planned, controlled, evaluated in advance for radiological impact, and appropria te offsite organizations and agencies informed of the scheduled releases and estimated impact.

9.7 The State EOC will be advis ed when the Plant deems it sa fe to begin the reentry phase of the offsite recovery operation. If the Governor has ordered an evacuation, it is legally required for the Governor to of ficially rescind the order. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality is responsible for coordinating reentry procedures for the offsite population.

P
