LSCS-UFSAR 13.3-1 REV. 15, APRIL 2004 13.3 EMERGENCY PLANNING Plans for coping with emergency situations are contained in the Exelon Nuclear Radiological Emergency Plan. The Emergency Plan dated December 1977 was filed on September 11, 1978, for LaSalle County Station Dockets 50-373 and 50-374. That filing also applied for Dresden Units 1, 2, and 3; Quad Cities Units 1 and 2; and Zion Units 1 and 2 (Dockets50-010, 50-237, 50-249, 50-254, 50-265, 50-295, and 50-304). Revisions to the Emergency Plan are filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). NRC's evaluation of the Emerge ncy Plan are provided in the Safety Evaluation Report (NUREG 0519) date d March 1981, and in its Supplements.

The Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan is a written emergency plan that establishes the concep ts, evaluation and assessment criteria, and recommended protective actions necessary to limit and mitigate the consequences of potential or actual nuclear power plant emergencies. The Emergency Plan provides the necessary prearrangements, directions, and organization to ensure nuclear emergencies can be effectively and e fficiently resolved in order to safeguard station personnel, property, and the general public.

The Emergency Plan has been developed based on the emergency planning and preparedness requirements specified in Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 and Regulatory Guide 1.101, Revision 3 of August 1992. The Emergency Plan has been submitted to and approved by the NRC.

It is reviewed annually, any changes or revisions that pertain to regulatory requirements are submitted to the NRC for approval.

The Emergency Plan includes site-speci fic Annexes which contain additional information and guidance that are unique to each nuclear generating facility. The site-specific Annexes are not independent of the Emergency Plan. Each site has Standardized Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures which implement the Emergency Plan appropriately.

The Emergency Plan identifies onsite and offsite facilities and equipment available for emergency assessment, communications, first aid and medical care, and damage control. The Emergency Response Facilitie s (ERFs) consist of the: Control Room (CR), Technical Support Center (TSC), Operational Support Center (OSC), Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), an d the Joint Public Information Center (JPIC). The Emergency Plan provides for classificati on of emergencies into five categories (listed in order of increasing severity):

Unusual Event, Alert, Site Emergency, General Emergency, and Recovery. Unusual Event classifications are events that are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.

Alert classifications are events that are in progress or have occurred which involve an LSCS-UFSAR 13.3-2 REV. 15, APRIL 2004 actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Any radioactive material releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guideline exposure levels. Site Emergency classifications are events that are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of the plant functions needed for protection of the public. Any radioactive material releases are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except near the site boundary. General Emergency classifications are events that are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containm ent integrity. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels for more than the immediate site area.

Recovery is that period when the emergency phase is over and actions are being taken to return the situation to a non-emergency state. The plant is under control and no potential for further degradation of the plant or the environment is believed to exist.

The Emergency Plan includes notification requirements for classified events, including prompt and accurate notifica tions to Federal, State, and local governments.

Training is conducted for all emergency response personnel to ensure their proficiency. The training programs for emergency response personnel are based on the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50.

Evaluated Exercises are conducted biennially at each nuclear station to demonstrate the adequacy of timing and content of the Standardized Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures and meth ods; to test emergency equipment and communication networks; and to ensure that emergency response personnel are familiar with their duties. Each Exercise involves participation by Federal, State, and/or local personnel as prescribed by regulatory requirements.

The Emergency Plan manuals and Station Annexes are distributed on a controlled basis to all stations and emergency facilities requiring them, including appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies.
