January 15, 2019 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555-0001 R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-18 NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67

Subject:

License Amendment Request for Approval of Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing Requirements Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, "Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit," Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) requests an amendment to the Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-18 for the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna).

10 CFR 50.47(b) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E establish emergency planning standards that require: 1) adequate staffing, 2) satisfactory performance of key functional areas and critical tasks, and 3) timely augmentation of the response capability.

Exelon is requesting U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRG) approval of proposed changes to the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan for Ginna. The docket number for the Ginna Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) is also referenced, since the site's Emergency Plan covers emergency planning aspects for the ISFSI. The proposed changes would revise certain Emergency Response Organization (ERO) positions for Ginna consistent with the minimum staff ERO guidance specified in the "Alternative Guidance for Licensee Emergency Response Organizations," finalized in a letter from the NRC to the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), dated June 12, 2018. The guidance will be included in Revision 2 of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants."

The proposed changes have been reviewed considering the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47, "Emergency plans, "paragraph (b), 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities," and other applicable emergency preparedness NRC guidance documents. An evaluation of the proposed changes pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54, "Conditions of licenses," paragraph (q), "Emergency plans," determined that the proposed changes would constitute a reduction in effectiveness of the Emergency Plans for the affected facility and, therefore, require prior NRC approval.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 January 15, 2019 Page2 Exelon has concluded that the proposed changes present no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of amendments."

The proposed changes have been reviewed by the Plant Operations Review Committee at Ginna in accordance with the requirements of the Exelon Quality Assurance Program. contains an evaluation of the proposed changes, which includes a detailed description, technical and regulatory evaluation supporting a no significant hazards consideration, and environmental consideration. Supporting Attachments 1A through 1C include Emergency Plan mark-up pages, clean pages, and an assessment of the ERO Minimum Staff and Full-Augmented Staff positions removed. Enclosure 2 of this submittal includes regulatory commitments describing Exelon's plans to conduct confirmation Emergency Preparedness drills to demonstrate that no loss of function will result due to the proposed changes in the ERO. Enclosure 3 contains information related to the review of proposed changes by the affected State and Counties.

Exelon is requesting approval of the proposed license amendment by September 1, 2019, which is the same date that Exelon requested similar ERO staffing changes for its Midwest (Braidwood, Byron, Clinton, Dresden, LaSalle, and Quad Cities), Mid-Atlantic (Limerick, and Peach Bottom), and Northeast (Calvert Cliffs, Nine Mile Point, and FitzPatrick) sites. Once approved, Exelon is requesting that the amendment for the Ginna be implemented no later than December 31, 2019.

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91, "Notice for public comment; State consultation," paragraph (b), Exelon is notifying the State of New York of this application for these license amendments by transmitting a copy of this letter and the supporting attachments to the designated State Official.

SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION 10 CFR 50.47(b) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E establish emergency planning standards that require: 1) adequate staffing; 2) satisfactory performance of key functional areas and critical tasks; and 3) timely augmentation of the response capability.

Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) is requesting NRC approval of a proposed revision to the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna) Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan. The proposed changes would revise certain Emergency Response Organization (ERO) positions in the Ginna Emergency Plan. Specifically, the proposed changes would revise certain ERO positions to align with the Alternative Guidance for Licensee Emergency Response Organizations (Alternative Guidance) finalized in a letter from the NRC to NEI, dated June 12, 2018. The guidance will be included in Revision 2 of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants" (referred to as NUREG-0654 hereafter) when published.

The proposed changes will also relocate the identified Full Augmentation ERO specified in the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Plan Annex EP-AA-1012, Table 2-1, "Minimum Staffing Requirements for the ERO" to an Emergency Preparedness Implementing Procedure (EPIP).

The proposed changes have been reviewed considering the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47, "Emergency plans," paragraph (b), 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities," and other applicable emergency preparedness NRC guidance documents. An evaluation of the proposed changes pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54, "Conditions of licenses," paragraph (q), "Emergency plans," determined that the proposed changes result in a reduction in effectiveness of the Emergency Plans for the affected facilities and, therefore, require prior NRC approval.

As specified in Enclosure 2 of this submittal for Ginna, Exelon has committed to conduct a confirmation Emergency Preparedness (EP) Drill at one of the Exelon stations with the proposed minimum staff personnel to demonstrate that sufficient staffing capabilities will remain and no loss of EP function will result due to the proposed changes in the ERO staffing.

2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 2.1 Proposed Changes 2.1.1 The content and format of the Ginna Emergency Plan Annex EP-AA-1012, Figure 2-1, "Minimum On-Site Staffing Requirements," will be revised to align with the NRCs Alternative Guidance. This includes revisions to the EP Functions and Major Tasks, as well as the Minimum Staff assigned to these areas. The proposed changes will result in a change in some designated Minimum Staff responders and the relocation of the Full Augmentation staff from the Emergency Plan to Ginna EPIPs, consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

The specific wording changes are provided in Attachments 1A and 1B of this enclosure as marked-up and clean copy Emergency Plan pages, respectively. Attachment 1C License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 3 of 70 contains a task assessment of the Minimum Staff and Full-Augmented Staff removed from the Ginna Emergency Plan. Enclosure 3 of the License Amendment Request contains information related to the review of the proposed changes by the State of New York.

2.1.2 On-Shift ERO Revision Summary The Ginna on-shift staff will align with the NRCs Alternative Guidance. The proposed changes to align the Ginna Emergency Plan Annex EP-AA-1012, Figure 2-1 with the NRCs Alternative Guidance for the on-shift ERO are described below.

The reference to Fire Brigade personnel will be removed. The Function will be controlled per the Fire Protection Program Report.

The First Aid and Rescue EP Function is removed from the Table, consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

The Shift Chemistry Technician is removed from the on-shift staff.

The table below identifies the current and proposed Ginna on-shift ERO staffing positions for each EP Function identified in the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

An on-shift analysis utilizing the guidance and methodology in NEI 10-05, "Assessment of On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities," concluded that the proposed changes did not result in conflicting duties for on-shift ERO personnel.

Radiation Accident (1) Shift Chemistry N/A Assessment Technician (Chemistry/Radio Chemistry) 2.1.3 Minimum Staffing The Ginna Minimum Staff ERO is revised to be consistent with the finalized staffing numbers found in the NRCs Alternative Guidance with some exceptions that include:

No Technical Support Center (TSC) Dose Assessor. This is deemed to be acceptable because the Ginna Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) is activated at a lower classification level than required by the NUREG-0654 guidance for escalating events. The TSC Dose Assessor is not considered necessary because the Ginna EOF will activate at 60 minutes of an Alert or higher Emergency Classification Level (ECL) and will include an EOF Dose Assessment Coordinator as Minimum Staff.

The on-site Field Monitoring Team will not include a driver. Due to the configuration and size of the site within and around the Protected Area (PA), a vehicle would not be needed to traverse the site.

The EOF Information Technology (IT) Lead (Computer Specialist) is proposed to be staffed within 90 minutes of an Alert rather than 60 minutes of a Site Area Emergency.

The TSC will not have an IT Lead staffed at 90 minutes.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 5 of 70 The EOF will not staff an additional NRC Communicator at a Site Area Emergency The following ERO positions will be added to the Ginna Emergency Plan as Minimum Staff consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance:

TSC Security Coordinator EOF Dose Assessment Coordinator EOF Computer Specialist (staffed at 90 minutes from an Alert)

JIC Public Information Director OSC Onsite Field Team Member OSC RP Personnel (2)

OSC Mechanical Maintenance Supervisor / Lead OSC Electrical Maintenance Supervisor / Lead OSC I&C Maintenance Supervisor / Lead The following ERO support positions will no longer be considered Minimum Staff under the Ginna Emergency Plan and will be designated as Full-Augmented Staff. The Full-Augmented ERO Staff will be managed under an EPIP consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

TSC Director TSC Maintenance Manager TSC Technical Manager EOF Director EOF Technical Advisor EOF Environmental Coordinator OSC Chemistry Personnel OSC Chemistry Lead Assistant OSC Director JIC Media Monitor/Rumor Control Coordinator JIC Logistics Manager JIC Technical Advisor Additional changes include:

One (1) of the current Table 2-1, RP Personnel will be changed from 60-minute responders to 90-minute responders consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

The 30-Minute RP Technician will be changed to be on-shift.

Position relocated to EPIP OSC Operations Communicator Position relocated to EPIP 2.2 Reason for the Proposed Changes The Ginna Emergency Plan is being revised to align with the recently issued Alternative Guidance. The revision to the NUREG-0654 guidance reflects changes to NRC regulations, guidance, and policies, as well as advances in technology and best practices that have occurred since the NUREG-0654 guidance was originally issued in November 1980.

2.3 Ginna Emergency Plan Background Ginna Station is located in Wayne County, near Rochester, New York. The Ginna reactor is a pressurized light water moderated and cooled system designed by Westinghouse. Ginna Station is located on the south shore of Lake Ontario, in the town of Ontario, Wayne County, and is approximately 20 miles east-northeast of the center of Rochester and 45 miles west-southwest of Oswego. Ginna Station began commercial operation in July 1970.

The Ginna Emergency Preparedness Plan consists of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan (EP-AA-1000) and a Station Emergency Plan Annex (EP-AA-1012). Additionally, the program provides direction and guidance through EPIPs, and associated program administrative documents. The Emergency Plan outlines the basis for response actions that would be implemented in an emergency. Planning efforts common to all Exelon nuclear stations are encompassed within the Exelon Standardized Emergency Plan. The Standardized Emergency Plan establishes the concepts, evaluation and assessment criteria, and protective actions that are necessary to limit and mitigate the consequences of potential or actual radiological emergencies.

The Ginna Annex generally contains information and guidance that is unique to the station. The Annex and associated Addendums address site-specific criteria including:

ERO Staffing Emergency Action Levels (EALs) located in Addendum 3 to the station Annex.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 9 of 70 Differences from the Standardized Emergency Plan (such as station-specific staffing commitments, unique aspects of ERO augmentation, etc.).

Facility geography and location for a full understanding and representation of the stations emergency response capabilities.

Plant specific facilities and equipment associated with the Emergency Preparedness Program.

2.3.1 R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Procedures, January 1969 - The Ginna original Emergency Planning actions were described in the FSAR, chapter 12. The description did not specify designated ERO positions, but referenced supervisory personnel on call who would respond to emergency conditions.

2.3.2 R. E. Ginna Nuclear Emergency Response Plan, Rev 0, July 1984 - On November 13, 1980, licensees were notified that the site EP would be reviewed in accordance with 50.47(b), Appendix E, and NUREG-6454IFEMA-REP-l. Revision 1. In July 1984, Ginna issued Revision 0 to the Nuclear Emergency Response Plan. The Plan incorporated guidance from NUREG 0654, Revision 1 and included Table 4.1 for Staff Responsibilities for Nuclear Power Plant Emergencies.

2.3.3 Minimum On-Shift and Augmentation Requirements for Radiological Emergencies at R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, Safety Evaluation, July 24, 2003. The Safety Evaluation established a new Licensing Basis for the Ginna on-shift and Minimum Staff Emergency Response Organization in response to proposed enhancements.

2.3.4 R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Response Plan. In February 2014, the Ginna Emergency Plan was revised to implement a standard fleet Emergency Response Organization for Calvert Cliffs, Nine Mile Point, and Ginna stations under Constellation Energy. This entailed changes to position titles, Minimum Staff positions, Minimum Staffing, changes to assigned tasks, and changes to implementing procedures to establish a mostly common ERO.

2.3.5 Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan, Revision 26 - In April 2015, Ginna Emergency Plan was incorporated into the Exelon Fleet Standardized Emergency Plan under EP-AA-1000. This entailed changes to position titles, and changes to implementing procedures in an effort to establish a mostly common ERO throughout the Exelon Fleet.

2.4 Minimum Staffing and Full Augmentation as discussed in R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plants Emergency Plan The Ginna Emergency Plan designates two (2) types of augmented ERO responders.

Those designated as Minimum Staff are those additional ERO personnel needed to relieve the on-shift staff of key EP functions/tasks required in response to the emergency. Those key functions and associated tasks are identified in NUREG-0654, Section II.B. Evaluation Criteria 5 of Section II.B of NUREG-0654, Revision 1, states in part:

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 10 of 70 Each licensee shall specify the positions or title and major tasks to be performed by the persons to be assigned to the functional areas of emergency activity. For emergency situations, specific assignments shall be made for all shifts and for plant staff members, both onsite and away from the site. These assignments shall cover the emergency functions in Table B-1 entitled, Minimum On-Site Staffing Requirements for Nuclear Power Plant Emergencies. The minimum on-shift staffing levels shall be as indicated in Table B-1. The licensee must be able to augment on-shift capabilities within a short period after declaration of an emergency. This capability shall be as indicated in Table B-1.

Those ERO positions designated as Minimum Staffing in the Ginna Emergency Plan are those required to activate their respective Emergency Response Facility (ERF).

Specifically, these are the ERO positions that are the absolute minimum needed to implement the Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the Emergency Plan may not be effectively implemented). These positions in most cases are required to respond to their respective ERF within 60 minutes of the declaration of an Alert or higher ECL.

"Facility Activation" refers to the decision to consider a facility fully operational based on the minimum staffing required in ERO staffing tables contained within the station specific Annex and the ability of facility staffing and equipment to perform its designed function(s).

The positions which are considered Full-Augmented Staff (i.e., Non-Minimum Staff) are those positions which provide support for the Minimum Staff in their response to the emergency. The Full-Augmented Staff are discussed in EP-AA-1012, as well as the Ginna EPIPs.

As described in the Ginna Emergency Plan, these Full-Augmentation positions consist of liaisons, coordinators, supervisors, and additional communicators which help facilitate communication and the emergency response effort over time, but are not directly needed to implement the Functions/Tasks identified in the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

The list of Full-Augmented positions and their current assigned tasks are listed in Attachment 1C.

2.5 EOF Activation as discussed in the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Plan The NRCs Alternative Guidance establishes that the EOF facility activate within 60 minutes of a Site Area Emergency (SAE) or greater ECL. Exelon has elected to activate the EOF within 60 minutes of an Alert or greater ECL. By establishing the EOF at the Alert level, certain EP functions such as Dose Assessment or State/local communications can be established immediately following the Alert classification at the EOF and need not be duplicated at the TSC.

The turnover of Command and Control of EP functions will occur through a conference line between the Main Control Room (MCR), TSC, and EOF and may occur simultaneously if all facilities are available. In this manner, there will be no delay in License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 11 of 70 transferring functions such as Emergency Action Level (EAL) classifications, State/local Notifications, Protective Action Recommendations (PARs), and Emergency Exposure Control from the MCR to the respective ERF (i.e., TSC or EOF).

2.6 ERO Performance Validation As part of the implementation of these changes, a confirmation of the capabilities of the final Minimum Staff personnel will be performed through an EP drill to demonstrate that no loss of function will result due to the changes in the ERO. Additionally, the NRC and FEMA will be invited to observe the drill.

In support of this effort, and as documented in Enclosure 2 of this submittal, Exelon makes the following commitment:

Exelon will conduct a confirmation Emergency Preparedness Drill at one of the Exelon Stations to demonstrate that no loss of EP function will result due to the proposed changes in the ERO. The drill will include each of the Emergency Response Facilities described in the Emergency Plan (i.e., MCR (Simulator),

TSC, OSC, EOF and JIC).

This commitment shall be completed prior to the implementation of the approved license amendment.

In addition, Exelon will institute a "Minimum Staff" drill to be conducted once per drill cycle. This will allow Exelon to periodically demonstrate that the Standardized Emergency Plan continues to effectively implement the required Emergency Preparedness functions utilizing only the Minimum Staff defined in the Emergency Plan.

Since the ERO Minimum Staff is the same for each station under the Exelon Standardized Emergency Plan, it is not necessary to perform the drill for each station in a drill cycle. The stations would select one station to demonstrate the effectiveness of the minimum staff ERO for the stations which share the EOF. Credit for the "Minimum Staff" drill will be given to all of the affected stations which share the EOF. In support of this effort, and as documented in Enclosure 2 of this submittal, Exelon makes the following commitment for each of its stations:

Exelon will institute a Minimum Staff Drill as part of the drill cycle for its nuclear stations. The drill will include participation from the Minimum Staff of the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), the Joint Information Center (JIC), the Technical Support Center (TSC), and the Operations Support Center (OSC).

The MCR may be represented through use of the Simulator or a drill control cell.

The minimum staffing drills will be evaluated in accordance with Exelons Drill and Exercise Program The drill will demonstrate the key skills of response organizations to adequately respond to an incident scenario such that the major elements of the plans and preparedness organizations are tested. The drill will be critiqued in accordance with Exelons Drill and Exercise program. The drill may not necessarily be evaluated under the Drill/Exercise Performance (DEP)

Indicator under NEI 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline. Note that for stations which share an EOF, a station may credit performance of a minimum staff drill through another station which shares the EOF facility.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 12 of 70 2.7 On-Shift Staffing Analysis (OSA)

Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2016-10, "License Amendment Requests for Changes to Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Augmentation," states that an on-shift staffing analysis under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 should not be used to provide the primary basis to support the Technical Evaluation of a License Amendment Request (LAR). The OSA however may be utilized as part of the overall evaluation of staffing changes. The RIS states:

an evaluation performed using only the guidance of NEI 10-05 does not satisfy the requirement to identify and evaluate changes to ERO augmentation timing or ERO augmentation staffing that reduces the capability to perform an emergency planning function.

In conjunction with this License Amendment Request, Ginna performed an OSA per 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9. The results are used to support the conclusions made in this License Amendment Request for on-shift staffing; however, Exelon understands that the OSA comprises a select set of identified scenarios and should not be used as the sole basis for the conclusions in the technical evaluation supporting this amendment request.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

The evaluation of the proposed changes is discussed below.

3.1 Technical Advancements and Support The following section discusses technical changes in plant systems, procedures, EP equipment/programs and training, which have been completed to better support ERO functions, ease Operator burden, and improve Augmented Staff efficiency. The following discussion describes the improvements implemented since the last revision of the NUREG-0654 staffing guidance.

3.1.1 Plant Process Computer The Plant Process Computer (PPC) system provides for the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) functions discussed below as well as data collection and processing, accounting, alarming, and logging functions. An auxiliary function of the PPC is to transmit plant data to remote locations, including the TSC and the EOF.

The PPC and the SPDS provide a concise display of critical plant variables to the Main Control Room (MCR) personnel to aid them in rapidly and reliably determining the safety status of the plant. The PPC and SPDS are operated during normal plant operations, as well as during abnormal and emergency conditions. Their principal purpose and function is to aid the MCR personnel during abnormal and emergency conditions in determining the safety status of the plant.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 13 of 70 Parameters displayed by the PPC and SPDS are the quantitative and qualitative measures to indicate the accomplishment or maintenance of critical safety functions.

Information needed to assess the status of the plant safety parameters is obtained by the measurement of key plant variables. The safety parameters utilized to assess the maintenance or accomplishment of the critical safety functions as required by NUREG-0737, Supplement 1, "Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements: Requirements for Emergency Response Capability," Section 4 are:

1. Reactivity control
2. Reactor core cooling and heat removal
3. Reactor coolant system integrity
4. Containment conditions
5. Radiation control In general, the ranges of parameters monitored by the PPC and SPDS are identical to those ranges monitored by existing MCR instrumentation. Ranges displayed by the PPC/SPDS are adequate to cover plant responses analyzed in Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) Chapter 15, "Accident Analysis."

Benefits of the current level of computer capabilities include:

Improved plant monitoring capability for emergency functions.

Real-time plant data available through graphical displays.

PPC functions available to any desktop computer throughout the plant's Emergency Response Facilities.

Multiple graphical displays.

The PPC system replaced multiple older and obsolete systems with a single, microcomputer-based operating platform incorporating the PPC and the SPDS as well as the following:

Process Computer System Meteorological Data Acquisition System Sequence of Events Recorder (SER)

Radiation monitoring By consolidating all of these systems onto a single platform, ERO personnel can quickly monitor all critical plant parameters from a single workstation. The following are some of the benefits of PPC:

The Emergency Director has improved plant monitoring capability to support Emergency Director (ED) function.

Data manipulation functions, such as plotting information graphically or recovering historical data, require fewer key strokes and are more easily performed.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 14 of 70 The SER function has become a "real-time" user tool by making data immediately available rather than being only available via printer after the event.

Much of the PPC functionality can be made available to any desktop computer through the plants site-wide intranet.

The increased capabilities of PPC have enhanced timeliness of monitoring and assessing plant conditions.

Ginna also utilizes a Digital Plant Viewer (DPV) system that permits personnel to view conditions in the plant where cameras are installed live-time prior to entry. The DPV also allows personnel to access live-time dose rate data in areas with installed Area Radiation Monitors (ARM). No RP Technician support is required to use DPV.

In aggregate, these improvements support the proposed change in ERO staffing by ensuring that major functions and tasks are completed more easily with less of a burden on the MCR staff.

3.1.2 Dose Assessment Radiological dose assessment has benefited from technological advances that make its use simpler and less time consuming. At the time of the startup of Ginna, procedures describing methods for manually calculating offsite doses were provided.

In October 1991 (Ginna Emergency Plan, revision 10), a computer-based method for Dose Assessment was implemented using methods for environmental dose calculations required by Federal regulations. The system was a PC-based computer dose model and provided a means for immediate dose assessment.

In 2014, Unified Rascal Interface (URI), a Visual Basic.net program was implemented at the station. URI is a more efficient program utilizing menus and toolbars with the majority of inputs on a single screen making the program more user-friendly. The plant display systems have improved over the years allowing access to more data points that are needed within dose assessment. Redundant dose assessment computers were installed as part of the implementation of Cyber Security requirements. Ginna has an individual plant data screen dedicated to the needs of dose assessment inputs.

The overall improvements in technology and information availability over the years have enabled the on-shift staff to assess plant conditions quickly and efficiently, and with less distraction than before. The computing power of modern computer processors allow for calculation of dose projections in seconds rather than minutes.

3.1.3 Automated Call-Out Systems Enhancements in automated call-out and paging systems have resulted in streamlined processes for activation of the ERO. The ERO activation can occur through a Web-License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 15 of 70 based or phone-based system to initiate rapid notification of ERO members in lieu of individual calls to fill the individual ERO positions included in the current Emergency Plan for Ginna. The system includes a primary activation system as well as back-up capability to ensure uninterrupted operation.

3.1.4 Procedural Improvements

a. Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs)

Since the original Emergency Plan approval, EOPs have been improved through industry initiatives. EOPs generally use a symptom-based approach that demands less assessment and interpretation of plant conditions by the crew. In addition, the EOPs are better human factored, and have an improved layout allowing for more consistent implementation.

EOPs interface well with new technology such as the PPC. The PPC system is capable of graphically displaying plant conditions to assist in EOP execution.

Abnormal Operating Procedures (AOPs) also contain directional steps for when a review of the classification procedure is required to determine potential classifiable conditions.

This prompts the user to identify applicable EALs.

b. Emergency Action Levels (EALs)

In 2018, Ginna updated the EAL classification methodology to that published in NEI 99-01, Revision 6, "Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors."

The Ginna EALs incorporate guidance that has simplified the classification process, including the use of a matrix of EAL initiating conditions that streamlines the process of evaluating EAL against plant conditions.

3.1.5 Training

a. Operations Training Training is used to strategically drive improved performance at Ginna. Since NRC approval of the Ginna Emergency Plan, the Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) has resulted in developing a task list for Operations personnel. The SAT process ensures training is conducted to industry-accepted standards and has led to accreditation of the Operations Training Programs by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO)

National Academy for Nuclear Training.

A dynamic simulator is routinely used during Operations training. "Out of the Box (ODE)" simulator evaluations that include emergency response scenarios are part of the requalification segment. Simulator scenarios are designed to be realistic and reflect a wide range of plant conditions, including emergency conditions. During the simulator evaluated sessions the MCR staff is taken from normal operations to accident conditions which require evaluation against Emergency Action Levels and may result in their declaration up to a General Emergency (GE). The Operations crew performs critical License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 16 of 70 functions, such as classification, core damage assessment, accident mitigation, response prioritization, and communications without augmentation from additional responders. The proficiency of the MCR staff to perform these functions while maintaining situational awareness, without additional support is assessed during evaluated simulator sessions.

The Licensed Operator Requalification Training (LORT) Program includes licensed Operations crew performance evaluations that are to consider the scenario guidance attributes of INPO Operations Department Standing Instruction, ODSl-3, "Operations Department Guidance for Conducting Crew Performance Evaluations."

INPO ODSI-3 provides guidance on the realistic integration of the emergency response into crew performance evaluations. The purpose is to ensure the additional challenges the Emergency Plan responsibilities add to the crew's ability to manage an event are realistically represented in the crew performance evaluations. Representing the event as realistically as possible, which includes the additional challenges of Emergency Plan responsibilities, helps promote the situational awareness necessary during a real event.

b. Shift Technical Advisor (STA) Training The STA was originally trained as an advisor to the operating shift per NUREG-0737, "Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements." In 2014, additional guidelines were developed by INPO for the training of STAs. This is detailed in the document ACAD 14-002, "Guidelines for the Training and Qualification of the Shift Technical Advisor."

The ACAD 14-002 guidelines describe the role of the STA. The STA performs independent assessments of plant operating concerns, technical support, appropriate corrective actions, analysis of events and their effects, effectiveness of response(s) to emergent conditions, classifications of emergencies, protection of the public, and any other actions related to critical safety functions and plant safety during abnormal and emergency situations. They also contribute to operations during normal plant conditions.

By routine monitoring of equipment and plant operations, the STA can focus on preventative actions in order to mitigate the consequences of an accident.

3.1.6 Radiation Protection Improvements There have been many improvements in RP since the Ginna staffing was established under NUREG-0654, Revision 1 guidance.

The following provides a summation of the technology/tools associated with the in-plant protective actions:

a. Access Control Access to the Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) is controlled electronically.

The electronic access control system provides for the user to electronically sign Radiation Work Permits (RWPs) to self-authorize themselves to access the RCA and self-issuance of an electronic dosimeter (in addition to the assigned Dosimetry of Legal Record (DLR) that is always worn). Access to the RCA is controlled electronically without interface with a RP Technician.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 17 of 70

b. Personnel monitoring Personnel are issued DLRs that are continuously worn for constant monitoring.

No RP Technician support is needed for issuance of DLRs to on-shift emergency workers.

Secondary dosimeters are issued through the electronic access control system.

The secondary dosimeters are self-reading, alarming electronic dosimeters that provide readout of accumulated dose and ambient dose rate. No RP Technician support is needed for issuance of electronic dosimeters.

Automated whole-body monitors provide contamination monitoring. All radiation workers are qualified to use the automated whole-body monitors without RP Technician interface.

In circumstances when the automated whole-body monitors are not available, handheld friskers are used for personnel contamination monitoring. All radiation workers are qualified to use the hand-held friskers without RP Technician interface.

c. Dosimetry Personnel are issued DLRs that are continuously worn for constant monitoring.

Secondary dosimeters are self-issued through the electronic access control system. The secondary dosimeters are self-reading, alarming electronic dosimeters that provide readout of accumulated dose and ambient dose rate. No RP Technician support is needed for issuance of electronic dosimeters.

If a DLR is lost or damaged under emergency conditions, additional DLRs are staged for emergency issuance.

If an electronic dosimeter is lost or damaged, additional electronic dosimeters are available.

d. Area Radiation Monitors (ARMs) are also used and reviewed prior to dispatch of personnel into the plant. Ginna has multiple ARMs throughout the plant.

Some RP Technician support functions associated with in-plant protective actions such as access control, personnel monitoring, dose assessment, and dosimetry now require less dedicated support time since they are covered by plant process enhancements (newer technology/tools).

These technology/tools use available equipment such as portal monitors, self-alarming dosimeters, and an automated access control point.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 18 of 70 All onsite ERO members expected to be dispatched into the plant for evaluation, operations, or repair activities are Radiation Worker qualified and are trained on how to use the available tools.

3.1.7 Improvements Summary The improvements to staffing, equipment, procedures, and training that have occurred since initial approval of the Ginna Emergency Plan have resulted in a significant increase in on-shift capabilities and knowledge. Based on these improvements, it is concluded that there would be no significant degradation or loss of any functional task as a result of the proposed changes in ERO staffing.

3.2 Functional Analysis This analysis evaluates the impact of implementing the changes in staffing on the EROs ability to perform the major tasks for the major functional areas of the Ginna Emergency Plan. The analysis demonstrates that no degradation or loss of function would occur as a result of the change.

3.2.1 EP Function: Command and Control (formerly Emergency Direction and Control)

The Command and Control function includes the following tasks as defined in the NRCs Alternative Guidance:

Provide overall ERO command and control, until relieved.

Approve EAL and/ or Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) classifications, until relieved.

Authorize personnel dose extensions, until relieved.

This function is important for effective emergency response because adequate Command and Control enables the Ginna ERO to effectively develop priorities for response planning and corrective action(s) and to provide a unified approach to the event response by providing a single individual with overall command and control authority. The function is staffed and maintained at all times and is assigned to the Operations Shift Manager (SM). The augmentation (relief) of this position is intended to relieve the SM of EP functions so that the SM can focus on the event response from an operations perspective. This is available within 60 minutes of an Alert ECL declaration, or greater and is a position staffed by the TSC Station ED. In addition, the EOF Corporate ED will take responsibility for those EP functions associated with PARs following activation of the EOF, also at the Alert or greater ECL.

a. On-Shift Staff - The table below identifies the current, proposed, and NRCs Alternative Guidance for this EP Function and proposed Emergency Plan ERO, as well as the NRCs Alternative Guidance for this EP Function.

NRCs Alternative Guidance Alignment Ginna will maintain the existing title for this EP Function. The Operations Shift Manager will be titled Shift Emergency Director at Ginna.

b. Minimum Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed Emergency Plan ERO, as well as the NRCs Alternative Guidance for this EP Function.

EP Function: Command and Control - Minimum Staff Current Emergency Plan, Proposed Emergency Plan NRCs Alternative Figure 2-1 Table Guidance (1) TSC Station (1) TSC Station (1) TSC Emergency Emergency Director Emergency Director Coordinator (at Alert or higher)

(1) EOF Corporate (1) EOF Corporate Emergency Director Emergency Director (at (1) EOF Emergency Alert or higher) Director (at SAE or higher)

The proposed ERO staffing is consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

There is one difference between the Ginna proposed Minimum Staff and the NRCs Alternative Guidance. Specifically, Ginna will staff the EOF Corporate ED within 60 minutes of an Alert or higher ECL, while the NUREG-0654 guidance staffs the position within 60 minutes of a SAE or higher ECL. This difference expands the Ginna emergency response at the Alert ECL and will ensure that the EOF ERO will be immediately available should an Alert classification escalate to a SAE or GE ECL.

Ginna will maintain their existing titles for this EP Functions.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 20 of 70 3.2.2 EP Function: Communications The Communications function includes the following tasks as defined in the NRCs Alternative Guidance:

Communicate EAL and PAR classifications to Offsite Response Organizations (OROs), including the NRC, until relieved.

This function is important for effective emergency response. The function ensures adequate communication onsite and offsite to successfully implement the emergency plans. Ginna maintains the ability to staff this position at all times. This function is assigned to a pre-existing on-shift staff member as a collateral duty and has been assessed through an on-shift staffing analysis, via 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, to ensure that this EP Function can be performed when needed without any additional competing priorities.

The augmentation of this position is available within 60 minutes of an Alert ECL, or greater, and is intended to relieve the on-shift staff of this EP function. This function consists of two (2) ERO members to fulfill the communication needs (i.e., one (1) for the NRC and one (1) for State/local notification and status updates). Under the Ginna Emergency Plan, additional Communicators can be called upon as needed, and at the discretion of the ED.

a. On-Shift Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed Emergency Plan On-shift ERO, as well as the NRCs Alternative Guidance for this EP Function.

EP Function: Communications - On-shift Current Emergency Plan, Proposed Emergency Plan NRCs Alternative Figure 2-1 Table Guidance (1) Shift Communicator (1) Shift Communicator (1) Communicator1 1 Other personnel may be assigned this function if no collateral duties are assigned to an individual that are beyond the capability of that individual to perform at any given time.

Emergency Plan Change Assessment There are no changes between the current Ginna Station Emergency Plan staffing and the proposed changes to the Emergency Plan for the On-shift Communications function.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 21 of 70 NRCs Alternative Guidance Alignment Ginna will keep the Shift Communication function consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance. The Shift Communicator will perform NRC and State/local communications as needed until relieved.

A difference identified related to the Ginna implementation of the NRCs Alternative Guidance is the absence of the note (1) regarding collateral duties. The note states:

"Other personnel may be assigned this function if no collateral duties are assigned to an individual that are beyond the capability of that individual to perform at any given time," and is not included in the Ginna Emergency Plan. This note is not necessary because no collateral duties are assigned to the on-shift Communicator under the Ginna Emergency Plan.

There are no other deviations from the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

b. Minimum Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed Emergency Plan ERO, as well as the NRCs Alternative Guidance for this EP Function.

Emergency Plan Change Assessment Ginna is maintaining the Minimum Staff TSC ENS and EOF State/local Communicator as currently described in the Ginna Emergency Plan with no proposed changes to those positions. Additional Communicators will be staffed at the EOF or TSC as needed.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 22 of 70 The following positions, identified as minimum staff under the current Ginna Emergency Plan, are being re-categorized as Full-Augmented staff and will continue to be managed within an EPIP.

TSC Director - The TSC Director is identified as Minimum Staff in the EP-AA-1012, Figure 2-1, Minimum On-Site Staffing Requirements. The TSC Director is reclassified as Full Augmentation. Under the Ginna Emergency Plan, the TSC Director does not directly perform actions necessary to accomplish EP functions under NUREG-0654, but rather support other personnel at the TSC. The position would not be considered as part of the absolute minimum ERO needed to implement the Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the Emergency Plan may not be effectively implemented). The TSC Director performs support activities such as supervisory actions, validations, liaison, assistance and monitoring activities.

Specific responsibilities include:

Activate the Facility. [reassigned to Station Emergency Director]

Establish and maintain facility accountability.

Manage the operation of the facility.

Review and ensure facility displays are maintained current.

Coordinate ERO shift relief rosters for the on-site facilities.

Develop ERO shift relief rosters for the facility.

Coordinate integration of the NRC Site Team.

Arrange for logistics support.

Ensure flow of information within and between the emergency response facilities.

Provide input for facility briefs.

Coordinate TSC relocation.

With the exception of Facility activation, these tasks above are considered support activities and are not required to directly accomplish any of the NUREG-0654 identified functions. Tasks to activate the facility will be assigned to the Station Emergency Director. As such, the TSC Director position can be deleted from the Minimum Staff and maintained as a Full- Augmentation position. The TSC Director position and the listed responsibilities are being relocated to an EPIP.

EOF Director - The EOF Director is identified as Minimum Staff in the EP-AA-1012, Figure 2-1, Minimum On-Site Staffing Requirements. The EOF Director is reclassified as Full Augmentation. Under the Ginna Emergency Plan, the EOF Director does not directly accomplish EP functions under NUREG-0654, but rather support other personnel at the EOF. The position, as currently described in the Ginna Emergency Plan, would not be considered as part of the absolute minimum ERO needed to implement the Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 23 of 70 staffed then the Emergency Plan may not be effectively implemented). The EOF Director performs support activities such as coordination, assessment, monitoring, and assistance activities. Specific responsibilities include:

Activate the Facility. [reassigned to Corporate Emergency Director]

Manage the operation of the facility.

Coordinate for continual shift staffing requirements as needed.

Coordinate integration of the NRC site team.

Prepare State/Local notification forms and obtain Corporate ED approval to support the completion of timely offsite event notifications.

Participate in the Inter-Facility briefing to communicate and obtain event and response information.

Provide input for facility briefs.

With the exception of Facility activation, these tasks above are considered support activities and are not required to directly accomplish any of the NRCs Alternative Guidance identified functions. Tasks to activate the facility will be assigned to the Corporate Emergency Director. As such, the EOF Director position can be deleted from the Minimum Staff and maintained as a Full Augmentation position. The EOF Director position and the listed responsibilities are being relocated to an EPIP.

NRCs Alternative Guidance Alignment Ginna will maintain the ENS (NRC) Communicator and State/local (ORO)

Communicators consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance; however, the reporting location differs. Specifically, the function is maintained with one (1) ENS Communicator staffed at the TSC within 60 minutes to perform NRC communications and one (1) State/local Communicator at the EOF within 60 minutes to perform the State/local notifications with the OROs.

The NRCs Alternative Guidance designates the minimum staff ORO communication (State/local) is located at the TSC. For Ginna, the State/local Communicator is located in the EOF. This is considered acceptable because the Ginna EOF is activated at the Alert or higher ECL. By establishing the EOF at the Alert level, the function would be available at the same time as if it were located in the TSC.

Additionally, the NRCs Alternative Guidance, identified an EOF NRC communicator to be staffed within 60 minutes of an SAE or higher ECL. Exelon proposes to credit the TSC ENS communicator to provide information to the NRC in conjunction with the commitment to staff additional communicators as needed.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 24 of 70 3.2.3 EP Function: Radiation Protection (formerly Radiological Assessment / In Plant Protective Actions)

The RP function includes the following tasks as defined in NRCs Alternative Guidance:

Provide qualified radiation protection coverage for responders accessing potentially unknown radiological environments during emergency conditions.

Provide in-plant surveys.

Control dosimetry and radiologically controlled area access.

The ability to provide radiological expertise when the plant is experiencing an event with serious radiological consequences is crucial, due to the unknown radiological environment faced by emergency workers, particularly at the onset of the event.

This function is to be staffed by two (2) qualified RP staff members on-shift per the Guidance. Under the NRCs Alternative Guidance, the augmentation (support) of this position occurs in two (2) stages: 1) within 60 minutes of an Alert ECL or greater, three (3) additional qualified RP staff are available; and 2) within 90 minutes of an Alert ECL, or greater, an additional three (3) qualified RP staff are available, and both are staffed in the OSC.

The "Technical Analysis in Support of the Guidance in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, SECTION II.B, Emergency Response Organization," for proposed Revision 2 states that: "based upon staff review and approval of ERO staffing plans, and the evaluation of licensee exercises, the [NRC] staff has determined that expecting 2 qualified RP staff on-shift is reasonable for the increased time period (30 minutes to 60 minutes), at which point additional RP resources would become available, and that 3 additional RP staff in 60 minutes and 3 additional RP staff in 90 minutes is acceptable to ensure the staff can maintain its reasonable assurance finding (10 CFR 50.47(a)). In addition, the [NRC]

staff has determined that field monitoring teams (FMTs) (onsite and offsite) can function with limited RP expertise while under the direct supervision of senior RP staff in the TSC or EOF, thus removing the need for a fully qualified RP staff member being a part of the FMT when their expertise is better suited supporting the ERO on-site." The EOF RP Manager supervising the FMTs at Ginna is responsible for directing the FMTs as well as providing direction for their safety from the radiological event.

In addition, the Chemistry/Radiochemistry function listed in Table B-1 to Revision 1 of NUREG-0654, is no longer needed as the need for immediate reactor coolant sampling has been reduced due to the variety of plant indications of fuel damage available at Ginna.

Overall, the ERO functions assigned to qualified RP staff are more clearly defined in Table B-1 to the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

a. On-Shift Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed Emergency Plan On-Shift ERO, as well as the NRCs Alternative Guidance for this EP Function.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 25 of 70 EP Function: Radiation Protection - On-shift Current Emergency Plan, Figure Proposed Emergency NRCs Alternative 2-1 Plan Table Guidance (2) Shift RP Technician (2) Radiation (2) Radiation Protection Personnel Protection (1) Shift Chemistry Technician Personnel Emergency Plan Change Assessment Ginna will maintain two (2) qualified RP staff members on-shift for this function.

The proposed revision removes the Chemistry reference from Figure 2-1. The Chemistry/Radiochemistry function listed in Table B-1 to Revision 1 of NUREG-0654, is no longer needed as the need for immediate reactor coolant sampling has been reduced due to the variety of available plant indications of fuel damage available at Ginna. Early indications of fuel damage can be identified through Containment Radiation Monitors, Core Instrumentation, or Effluent Radiation Monitors, all of which are available in the MCR.

An on-shift staffing analysis under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 was performed to ensure that the Chemistry major task is not required per Ginna procedures prior to augmentation. The OSA indicates that the primary responsibility of the on-shift Chemistry Technician is chemistry/radiochemistry sampling to identify fuel damage; however, no chemistry sampling tasks were noted as being time critical in any of the analyzed events.

NRCs Alternative Guidance Alignment The proposed ERO staffing is consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance. The assigned major tasks are aligned with those stated in the NRCs Alternative Guidance. Ginna will maintain two (2) RP personnel on-shift to perform the RP functions and tasks for protection coverage for responders, in-plant surveys, dosimetry and radiologically controlled area access. There are no differences or deviations from the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

b. Minimum Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed Emergency Plan ERO, as well as the NRCs Alternative Guidance for this EP Function.

Emergency Plan Change Assessment Currently, Ginna designates three (3) Minimum Staff RP Personnel as required to support the EP Major Tasks of In-Plant Surveys and Radiation Protection at 60 minutes. Ginna proposes to staff 3 RP Personnel at 60 minutes and 1 RP Personnel at 90 minutes and 2 additional Task Qualified ERO responders at 90 minutes.

Note for the purposes of this table, except as discussed below, RP Personnel consists of persons with an ANSI qualification. This includes RP Technicians or qualified RP Staff members. This is consistent with the guidance provided in the NRCs Technical Basis for the Proposed Guidance in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Section II.B, Emergency Response Organization. The two additional Task Qualified personnel will be under the direction and supervision of an RP Lead Technician.

For Ginna, a Note 6 has been added to the Table 5-1 of the Standardized Emergency Plan. Note 6 explains that two (2) of the 90-minute RP personnel responders will be task-qualified, i.e., qualified to assess radiation and contamination levels, but will not necessarily be an ANSI-qualified RP Technician. The task qualified individuals would be available to support and work under the director of qualified ANSI RP Personnel. This is acceptable considering the following circumstances which are applicable to Ginna.

The task qualified individuals responding at 90 minutes will be under the direct supervision of RP Supervisor or Lead and be supported by 6 other ANSI qualified RP Personnel.

Ginna is a single unit power plant that is one of the smallest in the Exelon fleet (580 MW).

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 27 of 70 Ginna is a Pressurized Water Reactor, which contains a closed loop system in which the reactor coolant never leaves the containment vessel.

A PWR has significantly less radiologically controlled square footage to manage compared to a similarly sized BWR. For example, the James A.

Fitzpatrick plant is an 838 MWe BWR and has a primary radiologically controlled area footprint approximately 4 times the size of Ginna.

Ginna, as a single unit, two-loop Westinghouse PWR, is also much smaller than most PWR sites. The footprint of the Ginna primary RCA is approximately one third that of the Calvert Cliffs NPP (a relatively compact 1700 MWe two-unit site) and CCNPP also contains 4 floor elevations of equipment and components compared to three floor elevations at Ginna.

The total RCA area at CCNPP is approximately four times that at Ginna.

The Digital Plant Viewer, developed by Exelon Generation's innovation group, is an intuitive web-based mapping interface that accesses radiological surveys, live video feeds, and 360-degree images. Nuclear employees already use a vast array of mapping, telemetry, and other data systems to run the plant daily, but the Digital Plant Viewer pulls the technological systems together in one place for the first time.

DPV is a portal technology that provides live video, temperature, and up-to-date radiation dose information throughout the plant. DPV is accessible through the Exelon Intranet, including access through PCs, mobile devices, and touch screens. The DPV facilitates pre-job planning, briefings, field work, training, observations, trending, troubleshooting, and more.

Time savings and efficiency are realized in the RP function area through:

o More efficient pre-job briefing and job coverage.

DPV provides unfamiliar workers with optimum path to work location DPV provides identification of interferences prior work start DPV allows for reduction of traffic / hold up at Rad Pro desk for briefings DPV allows for verification of pre-requisite work tasks can be completed prior to entering plant Current viewing locations are included throughout the plant. In addition to the touch screen monitors, DPV is also accessible via PCs and mobile devices. Ginnas Protected Area and Owner Controlled Area footprint is small in comparison to other sites in the industry. Ginna Station is located directly on the south shore of Lake Ontario which bounds the area around the station.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 28 of 70 Ginna station is located approximately 64 miles drive from Exelons Nine Mile Point and FitzPatrick Nuclear Stations. Both stations are within a 90-minute drive and have RP Technicians trained and qualified in the Exelon programs and processes enacted at Ginna. These RP Technicians regularly support Ginna during Outages and are familiar with the station.

These technicians would be made available to Ginna, if needed, under Emergency Conditions.

In addition, Technological advances in RP tasks (i.e., protection coverage for responders, in-plant surveys, dosimetry and radiologically controlled area access) support the additional time proposed in the NRCs Alternative Guidance for the three (3) RPTs. This includes the availability of installed area, process, airborne and effluent radiation monitors, automated systems and information technology solutions supporting RWPs and dosimetry issuance, and enhanced work processes that are available under accident conditions. Supporting tools and processes include portal monitors, self-alarming dosimeters, and the automated access control system for the RCA that maintain active RWPs (e.g., the system verifies qualifications, dose margins, and access requirements).

Considering the above, Ginna proposes to staff 3 RP Personnel at 60 minutes and 1 RP Personnel at 90 minutes and 2 additional Task Qualified ERO responders at 90 minutes. The ERO responders for the RP Function provide for the necessary response under the Emergency Plan.

The proposed revision also removes the one (1) Minimum Staff Chemistry personnel from Figure 2-1. The Chemistry/Radiochemistry function listed in Table B-1 to Revision 1 of NUREG-0654, is no longer needed as the need for immediate reactor coolant sampling has been reduced due to the variety of available plant indications of fuel damage available at Ginna. Early indications of fuel damage can be identified through Containment Radiation Monitors, Core Instrumentation, or Effluent Radiation Monitors, all of which are available in the MCR. If reactor sampling is desired, Chemistry Technicians are on staff at Ginna and would be called in as necessary to support the event.

NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment Ginna proposes to staff 3 RP Personnel at 60 minutes and 1 RP Personnel at 90 minutes and 2 additional Task Qualified ERO responders at 90 minutes. As discussed above, the ERO responders for the RP Function described in the Ginna Emergency Plan provide for the acceptable response to emergency conditions.

3.2.4 EP Function: Supervision of Radiation Protection Staff and Site Radiation Protection Supervision of RP staff and Site RP Functions include the following tasks as defined in the NRCs Alternative Guidance:

Evaluate and assess plant and offsite radiological data in the development of onsite protective actions and offsite PARs, until relieved.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 29 of 70 Recommend onsite protective actions and offsite PARs to the applicable decision-maker, until relieved.

Direct all radiation protection activities, including Field Monitoring Team (FMT) direction, until relieved.

Provide relevant information to applicable communicators who are communicating offsite PARs to OROs, until relieved.

This function is important for effective emergency response to a radiological event because the management of RP resources, and the assistance this position provides the ED, is crucial for response to radiological events.

Radiological events can be very significant and constantly evolving, and require significant expertise in radiation and radiological consequences. The evaluation of radiological events, and the development of effective PARs, requires this expertise to support the ED in making these decisions.

This position is also responsible for the direction and protection of FMTs.

The augmentation of this function is available within 60 minutes of an Alert ECL, or greater, and is staffed in the TSC. Also for Ginna, at the Alert ECL or greater, an EOF RP Manager position is staffed. Note that this position is primarily tasked with providing the applicable command and control position (i.e., Corporate ED) relevant expertise on radiological events. This will increase the Ginna emergency response at the Alert ECL and will ensure EOF ERO will be immediately available should an Alert classification escalate to a SAE or GE.

To align with the NRCs Alternative Guidance, the Function is License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 30 of 70 being added and assigned to the Shift ED. The tasks identified above align with current responsibilities for the Shift ED. An OSA under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 was performed to ensure that the major tasks under this Function identified above can be performed when needed without any additional competing priorities.

NRCs Alternative Guidance Alignment Ginna will utilize the Shift ED on-shift to perform the "Supervision of Radiation Protection Staff" function until relieved by the Augmented Staff. There are no differences or deviations from the NRCs Alternative Guidance. The proposed ERO staffing is consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance. The assigned major tasks are aligned with those stated in the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

b. Minimum Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed Ginna Emergency Plan ERO, as well as the NRCs Alternative Guidance for this EP Function.

Protection SAE ECL or greater Manager Emergency Plan Change Assessment Ginna will staff both the TSC RP Manager and the EOF RP Manager at 60 minutes from an Alert ECL consistent with current Emergency Plan commitments. There are no changes proposed to the current Emergency Plan for this Function.

NRCs Alternative Guidance Alignment The TSC RP Manager will perform site related duties which include actions to recommend onsite protective actions, to direct all radiation protection activities at the site, and to evaluate and assess plant radiological data in the development of onsite protective actions. The TSC RP Manager will also provide relevant information to applicable communicators who are communicating offsite PARs to OROs.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 31 of 70 The EOF RP Manager will perform duties which include actions to support evaluation of offsite radiological data in the development of onsite protective actions and offsite PARs, and to direct FMTs at the Alert ECL, or greater.

Ginna staffing of this Function is different than the NRCs Alternative Guidance, in that Ginna staffs both the TSC RP Manager and the EOF RP Manager at 60 minutes from an Alert ECL. The NRCs Alternative Guidance does not staff the EOF RP Manager until the SAE declaration.

This will increase the Ginna emergency response at the Alert ECL and will ensure that the EOF RP Manager will be immediately available should an Alert classification escalate to a SAE or GE ECL.

The proposed ERO staffing activates the EOF earlier than the NRCs Alternative Guidance. The assigned major tasks are aligned with those stated in the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

3.2.5 EP Function: Dose Assessments/Projections The Dose Assessments/ Projections function includes the following tasks as defined in the NRCs Alternative Guidance:

Perform dose assessments/projections and provide input to applicable PAR decision-maker, until relieved.

This function is important for effective emergency response to a radiological event because timely dose assessments/projections ensure accurate and timely PARs can be developed, when necessary. Ginna maintains the ability to staff this position at all times.

This function is assigned to a pre-existing on-shift staff member as a collateral duty. An OSA under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 was performed to ensure that this EP function can be performed when needed without any additional competing priorities.

The augmentation of this function is available within 60 minutes of an Alert ECL, or greater, and is staffed in the EOF.

Maintaining the ability to perform dose assessments/projections at all times ensures that the consequences of a radiological event, to the public, are effectively mitigated by providing timely dose related information to the Station ED (TSC) or Corporate ED (EOF) depending on which position is in command and control. As a result, this position (Function) is expected to be available on-shift and in the EOF depending on the ECL declared.

Ginna utilizes on-shift Chemistry Technician to perform the Dose Assessment Function prior to augmentation of the ERO. The Ginna Emergency Plan will be revised to annotate the Dose Assessment Function as the collateral duty and annotated with note (1) "Other personnel may be assigned this function if no collateral duties are assigned to an individual that are beyond the capability of that individual to perform at any given time." The use of the on-shift RP Technician to perform Dose Assessment is assessed through an on-shift staffing analysis, via 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, to ensure that this EP Function can be performed when needed without any additional competing priorities.

NRCs Alternative Guidance Alignment Ginna will maintain a Shift Dose Assessor on-shift to perform dose assessments/projections and provide input to applicable PAR decision-maker functions. This function is performed by available qualified personnel (e.g., the on-shift RP Technician). Additionally, an on-shift staffing analysis under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 was performed to ensure that the Dose Assessment function on shift can be performed by one of the two (2) RP staff on shift without any additional competing priorities. The proposed ERO staffing for this Function is consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance. The assigned major tasks are aligned with those stated in the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

Ginna utilizes the RPMs to perform the Dose Assessment Function as a collateral duty prior to arrival of the Full Augmentation Dose Assessors. The proposed revision to the Ginna Emergency Plan adds the position of EOF Dose Assessment Coordinator as a dedicated Minimum Staff position to perform off-site dose assessments. The Dose Assessment Coordinator will be activated within 60 minutes of an Alert ECL or greater. The Dose Assessment Coordinator will report to the EOF RPM.

The following positions, identified as minimum staff under the current Ginna Emergency Plan, are being re-categorized as Full-Augmented staff and will continue to be managed within an EPIP.

EOF Environmental Coordinator - The EOF Environmental Coordinator is identified as Minimum Staff in the EP-AA-1012, Figure 2-1, Minimum On-Site Staffing Requirements. The EOF Environmental Coordinator is reclassified as Full Augmentation. Under the Ginna Emergency Plan, the EOF Environmental Coordinator responsibilities generally do not directly perform actions necessary to accomplish EP functions under NUREG-0654, but rather support other personnel at the EOF. Responsibilities required to be performed by Minimum Staff positions are transferred to other Minimum Staff positions. As such, the position would not be considered as part of the absolute minimum ERO needed to implement the Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the Emergency Plan may not be effectively implemented). The EOF Environmental Coordinator performs support activities such as supervisory actions, validations, liaison, assistance and monitoring activities. Specific responsibilities include:

Direct and track Offsite Monitoring Team (OMT) activities.

Coordinate activities with the external agency field monitoring teams.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 34 of 70 Establish and maintain OMT communications.

Maintain and update the radiological status displays.

Coordinate the receipt, analysis, storage and transfer of field monitoring samples.

Record and report field monitoring survey, sample and exposure information.

With the exception of the OMT coordination responsibility, these tasks above are considered support activities and are not required to directly accomplish any of the NUREG-0654 identified functions. Tasks to direct and track the Field Monitoring Team activities will be assigned to the EOF RPM (Put in EPLAn). As such, the EOF Environmental Coordinator position can be deleted from the Minimum Staff and maintained as a Full- Augmentation position. The EOF Environmental Coordinator position and the listed responsibilities are being relocated to an EPIP.

NRCs Alternative Guidance Alignment The Ginna proposed ERO staffing for the Dose Assessment Function is different than that in the NRCs Alternative Guidance. Specifically, the NRCs Alternative Guidance provides for one (1) Dose Assessment position to be staffed at the TSC within 60 minutes of an Alert ECL or higher. A second Dose Assessor is staffed at the EOF within 60 minutes of an SAE ECL or higher. Ginna proposes to staff one (1)

EOF Dose Assessor at 60 minutes from an Alert ECL or higher.

The NRCs Alternative Guidance was developed based on the premise that TSC is activated at the Alert ECL or higher and the EOF is activated at the SAE ECL or higher. While the Dose Assessment function falls more in line with the EOF responsibilities, it is not activated within the NRCs Alternative Guidance until a SAE ECL or higher. In order to provide early relief of the on-shift Dose Assessment function for Alert ECLs, the guidance provides a TSC Dose Assessor, which is available at the Alert ECL.

The Ginna EOF is staffed within 60 minutes of an Alert ECL or higher, making it unnecessary to staff the redundant TSC Dose Assessor. The EOF Dose Assessor Coordinator will perform duties which include actions to perform dose assessments/projections and provide input to applicable PAR decision-maker at the Alert ECL, or greater.

3.2.6 EP Function: Emergency Classifications The Emergency Classifications Function includes the following task as defined in the NRCs Alternative Guidance:

Evaluate plant conditions and recommend emergency classifications, until relieved.

This function is important to ensure a prompt and effective emergency response.

Because the impetus for implementing the Emergency Plan is the determination of an License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 35 of 70 EAL at the correct ECL, having this ability maintained at all times is essential. This function is assigned to a pre-existing on-shift staff member as a collateral duty. An OSA under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 was performed to ensure that this EP function is performed when needed without any additional competing priorities. The augmentation of this function is available within 60 minutes of an Alert ECL, or greater, and is staffed in the TSC.

Maintaining the ability to perform this function at all times ensures that ECL decisions, and as applicable, the PAR decisions, are timely and accurate as these decisions have a direct relationship to public health and safety from the consequences of a radiological event. This function works in coordination with the ED in command and control, and as a result is available on-shift and in the TSC.

Emergency Plan Change Assessment The Ginna Emergency Plan Table 2-1 does not currently specify a separate Emergency Classification Function for the On-shift Staff. Ginna proposes to revise Emergency Plan EP-AA-1000, Figure 5-1 to align with the NRCs Alternative Guidance. This function is assigned to a pre-existing on-shift staff member as a collateral duty (e.g., STA). The STA has the experience and training to fill this position and the responsibilities for monitoring plant operation are consistent with the EP position responsibilities. The STA is trained in EAL classification and is available in the MCR to evaluate plant conditions and recommend emergency classifications as described in the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 36 of 70 The STAs responsibilities are defined in Operations Procedure OP-AA-101-111, Roles and Responsibilities of On-Shift Personnel. The procedure states the STA maintains a sufficient level of independence commensurate with station conditions to act as an advisor to the Shift Manager during abnormal and emergency conditions.

During abnormal and emergency conditions the procedure states the STA is responsible to perform an independent assessment and diagnosis of station conditions and provides recommendations to the operating team. This assessment shall include monitoring critical parameters and challenges to radioactive release barriers. The STA is also responsible to perform an independent assessment of Emergency Plan classification (as time permits) and should not cause a delay in making the event classification within the required time limit.

This practice has been demonstrated and evaluated in Operations Training Program and EP Drills and Exercises. Additionally, the STAs role as an Emergency Classification Advisor is assessed in the OSA under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9.

NRCs Alternative Guidance Alignment Ginna will maintain an Emergency Classification Advisor on-shift to evaluate plant conditions and recommend emergency classifications. There are no differences or deviations from the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

Ginna proposes to utilize the Operations Manager to support EAL Classification. Ginna proposes to revise the Emergency Plan Figure 2-1 to include the Emergency Classification Function and assign the TSC Operations Manager to support and advise the non-delegable responsibility of EAL Classification. The Operations Manager under the Emergency Plan has the necessary background, experience and training to fill this position.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 37 of 70 NRCs Alternative Guidance Alignment Ginna will staff a TSC Operations Manager at 60 minutes to evaluate plant conditions and recommend emergency classifications. The proposed ERO staffing is consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance. The assigned major tasks are aligned with those stated in the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

3.2.7 EP Function: Engineering The Engineering function includes the following tasks as defined in the NRCs Alternative Guidance:

Provide engineering coverage related to the specific discipline of the assigned engineer, until relieved. Specifically:

o An engineer to monitor and evaluate changing core/thermal hydraulic issues is important to effective emergency response because monitoring and evaluating core conditions, or thermal hydraulic conditions of the reactor coolant system, can support timely corrective action(s), ECL declarations, and subsequent PARs.

Radiological events from a power reactor come from damage to an operating reactor core, or the systems used to cool the core, and engineering expertise in this area can greatly benefit the licensees response.

This function is assigned to a pre-existing on-shift staff member as a collateral duty. An OSA under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 was performed to ensure that this EP function is performed when needed without any additional competing priorities. The augmentation of this function is available within 60 minutes of an Alert ECL or greater, and is staffed in the TSC.

o An engineer to provide expertise in Electrical/ I&C systems and equipment supports the evaluation of these systems/equipment and supports the development of repair plans if necessary. The augmentation (support) of this function is available within 60-minutes of an Alert ECL, or greater, and is staffed in the TSC.

o An engineer to provide expertise in mechanical systems and equipment supports the evaluation of these systems/equipment and supports the development of repair plans if necessary.

Emergency Plan Change Assessment The current Ginna Emergency Plan utilizes the STA to satisfy the on-shift responsibilities for the Plant System Engineering, Repair, and Corrective Actions Function (Major Tasks: Technical Support/Accident Analysis).

Under the NRCs Alternative Guidance, the EP Engineering function is included as an on-shift function. The Ginna Emergency Plan would be revised to identify the Engineering Function is a collateral duty satisfied by the STA on-shift. Under Ginnas procedure OP-AA-101-111, Roles and Responsibilities of On-Shift Personnel, the STA is responsible to perform an independent assessment and diagnosis of station conditions and provides recommendations to the operating team.

This assessment shall include monitoring critical parameters and challenges to radioactive release barriers. The STA is also responsible to monitor Critical Safety Function Status per the EOPs.

NRCs Alternative Guidance Alignment Ginna will maintain STA on-shift to perform the Core/Thermal Hydraulics Engineer function as a collateral duty. There are no differences or deviations from the NRCs Alternative Guidance and the proposed changes to the Ginna Emergency Plan.

Note that the TSC Operations Manager is retained as Minimum Staff, but is relocated to the Emergency Classifications Function (reference step 3.2.6).

The following positions, currently identified as Minimum Staff under the Ginna Emergency Plan, are being re-categorized as Full-Augmented Staff and managed within an EPIP.

EOF Technical Advisor - The EOF Technical Advisor is identified as Minimum Staff in the EP-AA-1012, Figure 2-1, Minimum On-Site Staffing Requirements. The EOF Technical Advisor is reclassified as Full Augmentation. Under the Ginna Emergency Plan, the EOF Technical Advisor does not directly accomplish EP functions under the NRCs Alternative Guidance, but rather support other personnel at the EOF. The position, as currently defined in the Ginna Emergency Plan, would not be considered as part of the absolute minimum ERO needed to implement the Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the Emergency Plan may not be effectively implemented). The EOF Technical Advisor performs support activities such as supervisory actions, evaluations, coordination, assistance and monitoring activities). Specific responsibilities include:

The EOF Technical Advisor provides technical expertise to the EOF Staff.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 40 of 70 The EOF Technical Advisor tasks are to:

  • Track and trend critical parameters.
  • Monitor plant status and Control Room activities.
  • Provide input for facility briefs and updates.

Each of these tasks above are considered support activities and are not required to directly accomplish any of the NRCs Alternative Guidance identified functions. As such, the EOF Technical Advisor position can be deleted from the Minimum Staff and maintained as a Full Augmentation position. The EOF Technical Advisor position and the listed responsibilities are being relocated to an EPIP.

TSC Technical Manager - Under the Ginna Emergency Plan, the TSC Technical Manager responsibilities do not directly perform actions necessary to accomplish EP functions under draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance, but rather support other personnel at the TSC. The position, as currently defined in the Ginna Emergency Plan, would not be considered as part of the absolute minimum ERO needed to implement the Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the Emergency Plan may not be effectively implemented). The TSC Technical Manager performs support activities such as supervisory actions, evaluations, coordination, assistance and monitoring activities). Specific responsibilities include:

Manage the activities of the TSC engineering / technical staff.

Ensure additional personnel and/or equipment is arranged for, as necessary.

Provide engineering support for accident detection and assessment.

Develop mitigative strategies based on assessment of the event.

Analyze and develop extreme measures actions (SAMGs, EDMGs, §50.54(x) or suspend security controls).

Each of these tasks above are considered support activities and are not required to directly accomplish any of the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance identified functions. As such, the TSC Technical Manager position can be deleted from the Minimum Staff and maintained as a Full-Augmentation position. The TSC Technical Manager position and the listed responsibilities are being relocated to an EPIP.

NRCs Alternative Guidance Alignment Ginna will staff a Core Thermal/Hydraulic Engineer, a Mechanical Engineer, and an Electrical Engineer at 60 minutes to provide engineering coverage related to their specific discipline. The EOF Technical Advisor position is not identified in the NRCs Alternative Guidance. There are no differences or deviations from the NRCs Alternative Guidance. The proposed ERO staffing is consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance. The assigned major tasks are aligned with those stated in the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

3.2.9 EP Function: Repair Team Activities The NRC has determined that, from an EP perspective, the ability to get Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) equipment operational was the primary basis for necessitating maintenance expertise while on-shift. The Ginna ECCS are designed to be redundant and diverse such that common mode failures are very unlikely. From the Ginna UFSAR:

Several engineered safety features have been incorporated into the plant design to reduce the consequences of a loss-of-coolant accident. These safety features include a safety injection system (Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS)).

This system automatically delivers borated water to the reactor vessel for cooling under high and low reactor coolant pressure conditions. The safety injection system also serves to insert negative reactivity into the core in the form of borated water during an uncontrolled plant cooldown following a steam line break or an accidental steam release. Other safety features which have been included in the reactor containment design are a containment air recirculation, cooling, and filtration system, which would effect a depressurization of the containment following a loss of coolant and provide for iodine filtration if fission products are released from the core; and a containment spray system which would depressurize the containment and remove elemental iodine from the atmosphere by a washing action. The containment spray system and containment air recirculation, cooling, and filtration system are redundant containment heat removal systems.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 43 of 70 The engineered safety features protection systems provided for the station have sufficient redundancy of component and power sources such that under the conditions of a design basis loss-of-coolant accident, the system can, even in the event of a single failure, maintain emergency core cooling, maintain the integrity of the containment, and perform other safeguards functions to ensure that post accident exposures are maintained below the guidelines of 10 CFR 100.

The systems provided are:

A. The containment system, which provides an essentially leak tight barrier against the escape of fission products. The containment penetrations and liner weld seams are provided with a leak test system, which can be utilized to check the integrity of these two locations that are the most likely sources of containment leakage. Very low leakage requirements are also imposed on the containment isolation valves.

B. The safety injection system, which provides borated water to cool the core by injection into the cold legs of the reactor coolant loops and by injection over the top of the core through nozzles that penetrate the reactor vessel.

C. The containment recirculation fan cooler (CRFC) and filtration system, which provides a dynamic heat sink to cool the containment atmosphere and filtration of the containment atmosphere to remove airborne particulate and halogen fission products that form the source for potential public exposure.

The system utilizes the normal containment ventilation and cooling equipment in addition to the charcoal filters.

D. The containment spray system, which provides a spray of cool, chemically treated borated water to the containment atmosphere to provide additional heat sink and iodine removal capability together with the containment air recirculation cooling and filtration system.

E. The hydrogen recombiners, which limit the concentration of hydrogen in containment following a loss-of-coolant accident.

F. Auxiliary systems, which serve to ensure the operability of the above systems.

As a result of the redundant and diverse design, the need to accommodate maintenance functionality on-shift is unnecessary. Nevertheless, a minimum number of Maintenance personnel are assigned to respond to an event as part of the ERO, with more personnel available on an as-needed basis depending on the event.

The augmentation (support) of the Electrical and Mechanical positions occur within 60 minutes of an Alert ECL, (or greater), and is staffed in the OSC. The augmentation (support) of the I&C position is available within 90 minutes of an Alert ECL, or greater, and is staffed in the OSC. The OSC is the ERF associated with maintenance tasks, as directed by the Command and Control staff in the TSC.

The Maintenance response is consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance, which provides for one (1) technician from each discipline to be staffed as Minimum Staff. The Ginna Emergency Plan is annotated that additional technicians would be called as needed depending on the nature of the emergency repairs needed. Ginna has a proven Work Management program that has demonstrated the ability to respond to emergent work activity issues during off hours, weekends, and holidays. In an emergency situation, the Minimum Staff OSC responders from each Maintenance discipline would be available to assess the required work activities, begin preparation activities, and request the needed support in a timely manner. The proposed staffing is consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance and provides the necessary personnel to respond to the emergency condition.

NRCs Alternative Guidance Alignment Ginna will staff one (1) Mechanical and one (1) Electrical Maintenance Technician at 60 minutes to perform the maintenance activities from the OSC to respond to the emergency condition. An I&C Technician will respond within 90 minutes consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance. Depending on the need, additional Maintenance Technicians will be called in to support the OSC activities. There are no differences or deviations from the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

3.2.10 EP Function: Supervision of Repair Team Activities The ability to effectively supervise repair team personnel during emergency response is important. The augmentation (support) of these functions is as follows:

A Lead OSC Supervisor (OSC Director) is staffed within 60 minutes of an Alert ECL, (or greater), and is staffed in the OSC.

An Electrical Supervisor/Lead, a Mechanical Supervisor/Lead, an I&C Supervisor/Lead, and an RP Supervisor/Lead is staffed within 90 minutes of an SAE ECL, or greater, and is staffed in the OSC.

The OSC Director can effectively manage the Maintenance resources for the additional 30 minutes prior to the specific craft (Mechanical, Electrical, or I&C) respond, as demonstrated through drills and exercises.

Emergency Plan Change Assessment The current Ginna Emergency Plan Figure 2-1 identifies the Supervisory positions of OSC Director, Assistant OSC Director, TSC Maintenance Manager, RP Lead and Chemistry Lead for OSC ERO positions. The OSC Director effectively manages the Maintenance resources upon activation of the facility.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 47 of 70 Ginna is adding three (3) Minimum Staff positions to the OSC to be staffed at 90 minutes. These include an Electrical Maintenance Supervisor/Lead Technician, a Mechanical Maintenance Supervisor/Lead Technician, and an I&C Supervisor/Lead Technician. The RP Supervisor/Lead Technician is relocated under the Supervision of Repair Team Activities function. The addition of the three (3) supervisor positions enhances the ERO response by putting in place effective supervision repair team personnel early in the emergency response.

Assistant OSC Director - The Assistant OSC Director is being re-categorized from Minimum Staff to Full Augmentation Staff. Under the Ginna Emergency Plan, the Assistant OSC Director does not directly perform accomplish EP functions under the NRCs Alternative Guidance, but rather support other personnel at the OSC. The position, as currently defined in the Emergency Plan, would not be considered as part of the absolute minimum ERO needed to implement the Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the Emergency Plan may not be effectively implemented). The Assistant OSC Director performs support activities such as supervisory actions, validations, coordination, and assistance activities).

The task is performed by the minimum staff craft supervisors/lead technicians.

Specific responsibilities described in the Emergency Plan:

The Assistant OSC Director coordinates in plant task and team development and team dispatch.

The task above is considered a support activity and is not required to directly accomplish any of the NRCs Alternative Guidance identified functions. As such, the Assistant OSC Director position can be deleted from the Minimum Staff and maintained as a Full Augmentation position. The Assistant OSC Director position and the listed responsibility is being relocated to an EPIP.

TSC Maintenance Manager - The Maintenance Manager is being re-categorized from Minimum Staff to Full-Augmentation Staff. Under the Ginna Emergency Plan, the TSC Maintenance Manager responsibilities do not directly perform actions necessary to accomplish EP functions under the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance, but rather support other personnel at the TSC. The position, as currently defined in the Emergency Plan, would not be considered as part of the absolute minimum ERO needed to implement the Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the Emergency Plan may not be effectively implemented).

The TSC Maintenance Manager performs support activities such as supervisory actions, validations, coordination, and assistance activities). Specific responsibilities include:

Direct the total onsite maintenance and equipment restoration effort.

Coordinate repair and OSC team task information between the TSC and OSC.

Determine adequacy of OSC staffing.

Provide input for facility briefs.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 48 of 70 Each of these tasks above are considered support activities and are not required to directly accomplish any of the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 identified functions. As such, the TSC Maintenance Manager position can be deleted from the Minimum Staff and maintained as a Full-Augmentation position. The TSC Maintenance Manager position and the listed responsibilities are being relocated to an EPIP.

Chemistry Lead The proposed revision also removes the one (1) Minimum Staff Chemistry Lead from Figure 2-1. The Chemistry/Radiochemistry function listed in Table B-1 to Revision 1 of NUREG-0654, is no longer needed as the need for immediate reactor coolant sampling has been reduced due to the variety of available plant indications of fuel damage available at Ginna. Early indications of fuel damage can be identified through Containment Radiation Monitors, Core Instrumentation, or Effluent Radiation Monitors, all of which are available in the MCR. If reactor sampling is desired, Chemistry Lead Technicians are on staff at Ginna and would be called in as necessary to support the event.

NRCs Alternative Guidance Alignment Under the proposed Ginna Emergency Plan staffing, the OSC Director position is staffed within 60 minutes to oversee the activation of the OSC facility and the maintenance craft as they arrive. The Mechanical, Electrical, I&C, and RP Supervisors/Lead Technicians staff at 90 minutes to support coordination and supervision of repair team activities.

Ginna proposes one difference to the NRCs Alternative Guidance. Specifically, Ginna proposes to allow a Maintenance or RP Lead Technician to fill the supervisory role at 90 minutes. Under the Exelon Maintenance and RP programs, Lead Technicians are qualified, experienced craft technicians who successfully demonstrate the day-to-day leadership of the technician work force and act as lead on back shifts. Duties and responsibilities include training and development of other employees in performing preventive maintenance and routine equipment service activities. Basic qualifications for a Lead Technician include demonstrated reliability and responsibility and the ability to make quick and effective technical decisions, as well as demonstrated situational leadership, environmental and safety stewardship.

The experience and qualification of Ginna Lead Technicians satisfy the requirements and the needs of the OSC for the Supervision of Repair Team Activities EP Function.

Other than the difference discussed above, the proposed ERO staffing is consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance. The assigned major tasks are aligned with those stated in the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 49 of 70 3.2.11 EP Function: Field Monitoring Teams (FMTs)

The ability to locate, monitor, and track a radioactive plume is important to ensure appropriate protective measures are taken in response to a radiological event. The ability to staff these teams before they may be needed (i.e., before a radiological release) greatly enhances the ability to provide timely and accurate PARs.

The augmentation (support) for these teams is as follows:

On-site Field Monitoring An On-site Field Monitoring person is staffed consisting of personnel to monitor radiation. This on-site position is responsible for radiological monitoring of the sites PA. The size and configuration of the Ginna PA does not support the need of an accompanying driver. The PA can be easily and efficiently traversed without use of a vehicle. This On-Site Field Monitor Team person is staffed within 60 minutes of an Alert ECL, or greater.

The On-site Field Monitor is qualified to assess radiation and contamination levels, but is not necessarily an ANSI-qualified RP Technician since the person is under the direct supervision of RP Supervisor/Lead Technician. Note, the Onsite On-site Field Monitor would not be staffed if the radiological conditions jeopardize the safety of the Onsite Field Monitor.

Offsite Field Monitoring An Offsite FMT is staffed, consisting of a Monitor and a driver, within 60 minutes of an Alert ECL, or greater. This Offsite FMT is responsible for locating, monitoring, and tracking a radioactive plume, as well as obtaining environmental samples as necessary (e.g., air, water, vegetation, etc.). The Monitor is qualified to assess radiation and contamination levels, but need not be an ANSI-qualified RP Technician as long as the FMT is under the direct supervision of senior staff in the TSC or EOF.

Another Offsite FMT is staffed, consisting of a monitor and a driver, within 90 minutes of an Alert ECL, or greater. This Offsite FMT is also responsible for locating, monitoring, and tracking a radioactive plume, as well as obtaining environmental samples (e.g., air, water, vegetation, etc.). The Monitor is qualified to assess radiation and contamination levels, but need not be an ANSI-qualified RP technician as long as the FMT is under the direct supervision of senior staff in the TSC or EOF.

Emergency Plan Change Assessment Onsite Field Monitoring - The current Ginna Emergency Plan designates two (2) RP personnel as Minimum Staff for the EP function of On-site Surveys. The proposed changes to the Ginna Emergency Plan designate one (1) task qualified person for on-site surveys. The number of task qualified personnel for this function is consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance. Note there is a difference with respect to the designated on-site FMT Driver (discussed below). The reduction in RP personnel to this task is acceptable because one (1) Field Monitor dedicated to monitor and survey the site area is sufficient to provide current and timely data to the TSC/EOF in emergency conditions. At Exelon stations, the onsite Field Monitor is License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 51 of 70 responsible only for monitoring the PA. The size of the stations PA allows traverse in minutes and a designated driver would not be required to perform this function.

The monitoring equipment is hand-held and does not require two (2) personnel for transport or operation. The Owner Controlled Area (OCA) has an infrastructure that supports vehicular traffic and will be monitored by the Offsite FMTs. This is the current Exelon process and has been demonstrated successfully through drills and exercises at Exelon stations.

Offsite Field Monitoring Teams - The Offsite FMTs at Ginna currently consist of two (2) Field Teams staffing at 60 minutes; each consisting of a driver and one (1) task qualified person. Ginna proposes to change the Offsite FMTs to be consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance. Specifically, there would be two (2) FMTs, but one (1) FMT would staff at 60 minutes and one FMT would staff at 90 minutes.

Additional time in the response is considered acceptable. Since both FMTs are expected to respond to an event and in order to better coordinate radioactive plume tracking action(s), allowing for additional time provides some flexibility in staffing this ERO function without compromising the "reasonable assurance" finding in accordance with 10 CFR 50.47(a).

NRCs Alternative Guidance Alignment The proposed ERO staffing for Onsite Field Monitoring is different than that proposed in the NRCs Alternative Guidance. Specifically, Ginna On-site Field Monitoring will be staffed without a designated driver.

At Exelon stations, the On-site Field Monitor is responsible only for monitoring the area within the PA. The size of the stations PA allows traverse of foot in minutes and a designated driver would not be required to perform this function. The monitoring equipment is hand-held and does not require a vehicle for transport.

For Exelon stations, the Owner Controlled Area (OCA) supports vehicular traffic.

The Offsite FMTs is responsible for surveying the OCA. This has been demonstrated successfully through drills and exercises at Exelon stations. The 60-minute and 90-minute Offsite FMTs will staff consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance. There are no differences or deviations from the NRCs Alternative Guidance for the Offsite FMTs.

3.2.12 EP Function: Media Information The Media Information function includes the following tasks:

Manage and coordinate media information related to the event.

Media relations is an important part of effective emergency response and is consistent with the National Incident Management System (NIMS). Revision 1 of NUREG-0654 left the exact staffing composition flexible, with input from applicable OROs, and from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 52 of 70 The augmentation (support) of this function is defined for Ginna to be that which is absolutely needed to support this function (i.e., without those positions this function could not occur).

Ginna is supported through the Exelon Communications Department at all times. The Communications Department responds to media inquiries initially for any ECL. The Communications Department coordinates with Exelon Management and ERFs to respond to media inquiries. Press releases are issued as appropriate from the Communications Department.

Within 90 minutes of an Alert ECL or higher, the Ginna Emergency Plan is revised to describe the positions of Corporate Spokesperson, Public Information Director, and Joint Information Center (JIC) Director as those necessary to support the additional news media related tasks associated with the more significant classifications. These tasks include periodic press briefings, media engagement, and coordination with State and local Emergency Management Agencies (EMAs).

a. On-Shift Staff - There are no on-shift staff assigned to this EP Function; however, the Exelon Communications Department are available to address news media inquiries 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />s/day.

Advisor (1) Public Information Director (Does not need to be performed in the JIC, but needs to be established @ 90 min of an Alert or higher ECL)

Emergency Plan Change Assessment The JIC Minimum Staff is identified in the Ginna Emergency Plan EP-AA-1012, Figure 2-1, Minimum On-Site Staffing Requirements. Specifically, the Ginna Emergency Plan identifies (1) Company Spokesperson, (1) JIC Manager, (1) Media Monitor/Rumor Control Coordinator, (1) Logistics Manager and (1) Technical Advisor as Minimum Staff and required to respond within 60 minutes of an Alert or higher event declaration to the JIC.

The proposed change to the Ginna Emergency Plan identifies three (3) Minimum Staff positions to be staffed following an Alert ECL to address the Media Information EP Function. The positions consist of the Corporate Spokesperson, Public Information Director, and JIC Director. The positions are established within 90 minutes of an Alert or higher ECL. The revision increases the JIC ERO response from 60 minutes to 90 minutes.

The following positions, currently identified as Minimum Staff within the Ginna EPIPs, are being re-categorized as Full-Augmented Staff.

JIC Logistics Manager - Under the Ginna Emergency Plan, the JIC Logistics Manager does not directly accomplish EP functions under NRCs Alternative Guidance, but rather support other personnel at the JIC. The position would not be considered as part of the absolute minimum ERO needed to implement the Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed, then the Emergency Plan may not be effectively implemented). The JIC Logistics Manager performs support activities such as supervisory actions, evaluations, coordination, assistance and monitoring activities). Specific responsibilities include:

Manage the administrative support staff.

Develop ERO shift relief rosters for the facility.

Arrange for logistics support.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 54 of 70 Oversee set-up and testing of JIC equipment.

Maintain access control to the JIC.

Provide input for facility briefs.

Oversee collection of technical data and station activities for drafting Media Statements and answering JIC questions.

Coordinate preparation, review and distribution of Media Statements.

Obtain ED approval for the technical content of Media Statements.

Keep JIC staff informed of plant status and Exelon emergency response activities.

JIC Technical Advisor - Under the Ginna Emergency Plan, the JIC Technical Advisor does not directly accomplish EP functions under the NRCs Alternative Guidance, but rather support other personnel at the TSC. The position would not be considered as part of the absolute minimum ERO needed to implement the Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed, then the Emergency Plan may not be effectively implemented). The JIC Technical Advisor performs support activities such as supervisory actions, evaluations, coordination, assistance and monitoring activities). Specific responsibilities include:

Provide technical expertise to the JIC staff.

Assist the News Writer with development of technically accurate media statements.

Provide answers to technical questions from the news media regarding the emergency situation.

Periodically monitor EOF/TSC briefings and Operations Status Line to obtain information.

Provide technical information support to the Company Spokesperson.

Monitor event information on the facility display systems.

Provide input for facility briefs and updates.

Media Monitor/Rumor Control Coordinator - Under the Ginna Emergency Plan, the Media Monitor/Rumor Control Coordinator responsibilities include Media Monitoring/Rumor Control activities which will be the responsibility of the Public Information Director until the JIC is fully staffed. The other responsibilities include actions which are not necessary to accomplish EP functions under the NRCs Alternative Guidance, but rather support other personnel at the JIC. The position, as currently defined in the Ginna Emergency Plan, would not be considered as part of the absolute minimum ERO needed to implement the Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed, then the Emergency Plan may not be effectively implemented). The Media Monitor/Rumor Control Coordinator performs support activities such as supervisory actions, evaluations, coordination, assistance and monitoring activities). Specific responsibilities include:

Supervise media monitoring and Inquiry Phone Team personnel.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 55 of 70 Review Media Monitoring team information for trends, misinformation and rumors.

Review Phone Team information for trends, misinformation and rumors.

Ensure adequate staff is available to perform media monitoring and phone team functions.

Provide input for facility briefs and updates.

The Ginna Emergency Plan is revised to activate the (3) positions within 90 minutes of an Alert or higher classification. The Exelon Corporate Communications Department is capable of responding to and addressing events prior to the arrival of the JIC Minimum Staff at 90 minutes of an Alert ECL or higher.

NRCs Alternative Guidance Alignment The proposed ERO staffing activates the JIC facility at a lower ECL than the NRCs Alternative Guidance. Exelon proposes to activate the JIC facility within 90 minutes of an Alert ECL or higher. The 90-minute activation time provides for a larger population of candidates to fill the JIC minimum staff positions and is offset to some degree by the activation of the JIC at a lower ECL than stipulated in the NRCs Alternative Guidance. The Exelon Communications Department is will provide for the JIC functions until the JIC is activated and turnover of responsibility occurs.

Ginna will staff a Corporate Spokesperson at the JIC to maintain Command and Control of the JIC and conduct periodic briefings with the news media. The JIC Director is staffed at the JIC to coordinate with the State, local and Federal agencies to maintain factual consistency of information conveyed. Ginna will also staff a Public Information Director to oversee the issuance of news releases and media monitoring/rumor control. The Public Information Director function may be performed remotely by taking advantage of advancements in communication technology.

3.2.13 EP Function: Information Technology The Information Technology (IT) function includes the following tasks:

If Emergency Plan functions rely on computer-based equipment, provide IT support.

The ever-increasing advances in technology have led to significant enhancements in many areas of emergency response, such as communications, monitoring, displays, digital procedures, etc. Ginna has assessed the use of this technology as it is used to enhance the ability to protect the health and safety of the public with respect to EP.

a. On-Shift Staff - There are no on-shift staff assigned to this EP Function; however, the Exelon IT department maintains a 24 hour/day HELP Desk to assist users with IT related issues.

perform at any given time. (1) TSC IT Lead @ 90 mins Other personnel may be assigned this function if no collateral duties are assigned to an individual that are beyond the capability of that individual to perform at any given time.

Emergency Plan Change Assessment The current Ginna Emergency Plan does not identify IT positions as Minimum Staff.

Ginna maintains a Computer Specialist position at the EOF and TSC as a Full Augmentation position. Performance of digital equipment at EOF and TSC has shown to be acceptable during drills and exercises with this staffing. With the built-in redundancy for communication systems and digital EP assets, Ginna has not License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 57 of 70 identified a need to maintain an IT Lead as a Minimum Staff position at the TSC facility. The EOF Computer Specialist is revised to Minimum Staff with a response time of 90 minutes from the Alert or higher ECL.

NRCs Alternative Guidance Alignment Ginna proposes to staff an IT Lead at the EOF as Minimum Staff; however, Ginna proposes to staff the position within 90 minutes of an Alert or higher rather than 60 minutes of a Site Area Emergency. Ginna does not propose to staff an IT Lead position as minimum staff at the TSC.

The Ginna EOF and TSC contain multiple computers and programs in the facility which support EP functions. This includes Plant Parameter Display Systems, Core Damage Assessment, the Plant Process Computer, and Dose Assessment programs, as well as Web EOC, fax, and copy machines. Performance during drills and exercises indicates consistent performance of the digital assets in the facilities.

The communications, dose assessment and core damage assessment equipment is periodically tested and issues, if any identified, are promptly addressed. The facilities and respective digital equipment are frequently used through administration of training for each team, as well as drills and Exercises. In addition, the IT Department maintains a Site IT Duty Person (SIDP) per procedure IT-AA-2001, Information Technology Response to Emergent Issues Process, for each station.

During duty periods, the SIDP must be fit for duty, available, reachable by telephone and/ or cell phone at all times. The SIDP shall function as the single point of contact for site IT during the duty period.

When contacted, must respond to all requests for emergent assistance, including conference calls.

Manage the response to the emergent IT issues at the site. Primary role to coordinate recovery actions with Vendors and other support teams, as needed.

Ensure that the appropriate priority and resources are assigned to address all emergent issues.

Utilize SY-AA-102-201, Call-Outs for Unscheduled Work, for any required Call- Outs.

Additionally, Exelon maintains an IT HELP Desk 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day, 7 days a week.

Many computer issues can be addressed remotely with an IT specialist at the HELP Desk. If additional help is needed at the TSC, the EOF IT Specialist will be available to support resolution of the issue.

In addition, each of these EP related digital assets in the TSC and EOF were evaluated as part of implementation of the Cyber Security Rule, 10 CFR 73.54(b).

Under NEI 13-10, "Cyber Security Control Assessments," EP Critical Digital Assets at the TSC and EOF have been assessed and controls have been put in place to protect the assets against cyber-attack. In conjunction with these controls, alternate administrative, non-digital, or adequately independent means have been put in place License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 58 of 70 for performing each EP function, should the digital component or program fail for any reason. For example, both the Core Damage Assessment program and the Dose Assessment programs have a redundant, non-network laptop computer at their respective facility to maintain the EP function should the designated computer fail.

ERO position procedures have written instructions for backup communication measures should the primary means fail. In the event of a failure of the Plant Process Computer, the Classification function can be maintained through the MCR.

Finally, performance of digital assets are monitored through either the Corrective Action Program or the EP Drill and Exercise critique process. Performance trends are monitored, and corrective actions are implemented as necessary.

3.2.14 EP Function: First Aid and Rescue Operations The First Aid and Rescue Operations EP Function no longer exists in the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

a. On-Shift Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed Ginna Emergency Plan on-shift ERO staff.

EP Function: First Aid and Rescue Operations - On-Shift Staff Current Emergency Plan Proposed Emergency Plan (3) First Aid Team Personnel Not Applicable (collateral duty of Fire Brigade)

Emergency Plan Change Assessment The Ginna Emergency Plan Figure 2-1 identifies personnel filling the EP Function of Rescue Operations and First Aid as collateral duties. Ginna utilizes the Fire Brigade to satisfy this responsibility. First Aid and Rescue is no longer identified as an EP Function under the NRCs Alternative Guidance. First Aid is still maintained as part of the NRCs Alternative Guidance, guidance under Section II.L, "Planning Standard for Medical and Public Health Support." As such, Ginna will continue to maintain qualified First Aid and Rescue personnel on shift; however, the personnel resources are no longer listed on the Emergency Plan Table consistent with the NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

NRCs Alternative Guidance Alignment The First Aid and Rescue Operations EP Function does not exist in the NRCs Alternative Guidance Table B-1 guidance. Therefore, removing the Function from the Emergency Plan is consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 59 of 70

b. Minimum Staff - There are no ERO resources assigned to First Aid and Rescue Operations under the current Ginna Emergency Plan. Additionally, the First Aid and Rescue Operations EP Function does not exist in the NRCs Alternative Guidance.

No revision is required to the Ginna Emergency Plan.

3.3 Full-Augmentation Staff Assessment The table below identifies the current Ginna Full Augmentation ERO for each of the EP Functions. These positions are removed from the Emergency Plan and are either relocated to an EPIP or re-categorized as Minimum Staff, as annotated below.

In the NRCs Alternative Guidance, Table B-1, Note iii addresses the required minimum staffing as compared to other staff not critical to the effective Emergency Plan implementation. Note iii states:

iii. The minimum ERO staffing plan is that which is required to effectively implement the site-specific emergency plan (i.e., the emergency plan cannot be effectively implemented without this staff). The emergency plan should describe the minimum ERO staffing plan, while supporting implementing procedures can describe any other staff response desired by the licensee as long as this staff is not critical to effective emergency plan implementation.

The augmentation times listed are intended to provide a model for applicants and licensees to consider in the development of their site-specific emergency plan.

The intent of this note is to emphasize the distinction between ERO minimum staffing and ERO members who serve in a supporting capacity.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 61 of 70 The Ginna Emergency Plan describes the Minimum Staff ERO that is the absolute minimum needed to implement the station's Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed, then the Emergency Plan cannot be effectively implemented).

Ginna utilizes additional Full Augmentation ERO Staff that are trained, qualified, and available to ensure all available licensee resources are used when a radiological emergency occurs and to provide for staff relief on a 24-hour / 7-day a week extended basis. The Full Augmentation Staff performs support functions such as intra-facility communications, organization liaisons, and expert advisors. This description of the additional Full Augmentation ERO Staff is being relocated from the Ginna Emergency Plan to an EPIP.

The Ginna Emergency Plan shall be effectively implemented utilizing the Minimum Staff positions. However, most Full-Augmentation Staff will still be assigned ERO teams, be expected to maintain Fitness-for-Duty during duty weeks, and be notified to respond to their ERF at the Alert or higher ECL. Their presence will not be required however to activate the respective ERFs.

The complete list of Full-Augmented Staff relocated from the Ginna Emergency Plan, along with their respective EP tasks is listed in Attachment 1C of this submittal.

Each EP task assigned under the Emergency Plan is further evaluated and dispositioned in this Enclosure.

3.4 Other Changes to the Emergency Plan 3.4.1 Command and Control Turnover The Exelon Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan EP-AA-1000, Part II, Sections B.3 and B.4, are being revised to reflect the changes to the Command and Control turnover description. With the proposed changes in ERO, the description of the turnover process is revised to more clearly describe the transfer of non-delegable duties for PARs and State/local notifications directly from the MCR to the EOF. The Command and Control turnover of responsibilities continues to occur between the MCR, TSC, and EOF concurrently on a bridge-line without delay.

Existing requirements and capabilities under the Emergency Plan have not been deleted or reduced as part of this revision and as such, the station Emergency Plan continues to meet regulatory requirements. A review of existing regulatory Commitments was made to ensure all existing commitments continue to be met.

3.4.2 Removal of Requirement to Augment Certain ERO at an Unusual Event The Ginna Station Radiological Emergency Plan Annex, EP-AA-1012, provides for activation of certain ERO personnel at an Notice of Unusual Event. Specifically, the Plan states: "The TSC or EOF will not usually be activated, although the Station Emergency Director, Operations Manager, TSC RPM and Technical Manager will normally report to the TSC to provide assistance." The Emergency Plan is revised to remove this commitment to augment the ERO with selected staff License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 62 of 70 at an Unusual Event ECL. The change was implemented into the Ginna Emergency Plan in Revision 8 (1990) to supplement the on shift ERO in anticipation of an escalation of the ECL.

The Ginna Emergency Plan Annex defines an Unusual Event as occurring when conditions 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. Declaring an Unusual Event assures that the first step for any response later found to be necessary has been carried out by bringing onsite staff and offsite organizations to a state of readiness, thereby providing a system for handling information and decision-making.

Ginnas ERO will continue to be notified at an Unusual Event in accordance with their Emergency Plan. Station personnel, including members of the ERO will be available to support the Emergency Response at the discretion of the Shift Emergency Director if needed.

The augmentation of the ERO at the Unusual Event ECL is not consistent with the NRCs Alternative Guidance and the commitment is being removed from the Emergency Plan Annex, EP-AA-1012, Step 3.2.

3.5 Impact of Proposed Changes on State Emergency Plan 3.5.1 Potential Impact of ERO Changes on Off-Site Emergency Response Organizational Interfaces Exelon provided a draft copy of the License Amendment Request to representatives of Wayne County Emergency Management Office, Monroe County Office of Emergency Management and the New York State Office of Emergency Management (NYSOEM) to provide the proposed changes to Ginnas Emergency Plan.

Wayne County provided feedback via electronic mail dated August 7, 2018, and Monroe County provided feedback via electronic mail dated August 7, 2018. NYSOEM provided feedback via electronic mail dated August 15, 2018. Each Office stated that based on the initial review, the office did not have any concerns at this time. Refer to Enclosure 3, "Information Related to Review of Proposed Changes by the States and Counties," for a copy of the referenced communications.

4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria The proposed change has been evaluated to determine whether applicable regulations and requirements continue to be met.

Section 50.47, "Emergency plans," of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) sets forth the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) Emergency Plan License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 63 of 70 requirements for nuclear power plant facilities. The regulation in 10 CFR 50.47(a)(1)(i) states, in part:

no initial operating license for a nuclear power reactor will be issued unless a finding is made by the NRC that there is reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency.

Section 50.47(b) establishes the standards that the onsite and offsite emergency response plans must meet for NRC staff to make a positive finding that there is reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency.

Planning Standard (2) of this section requires that:

On-shift facility licensee responsibilities for emergency response are unambiguously defined, adequate staffing to provide initial facility accident response in key functional areas is maintained at all times, timely augmentation of response capabilities is available, and the interfaces among various onsite response activities and offsite support and response activities are specified.

Section IV.A of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities," states:

The organization for coping with radiological emergencies shall be described, including definition of authorities, responsibilities, and duties of individuals assigned to the licensee's emergency organization and the means for notification of such individuals in the event of an emergency. Specifically, the following shall be included:

1. A description of the normal plant operating organization.
2. A description of the onsite emergency response organization (ERO) with a detailed discussion of:
a. Authorities, responsibilities, and duties of the individual(s) who will take charge during an emergency;
b. Plant staff emergency assignments;
c. Authorities, responsibilities, and duties of an onsite emergency coordinator who shall be in charge of the exchange of information with offsite authorities responsible for coordinating and implementing offsite emergency measures.
3. A description, by position and function to be performed, of the licensee's headquarters personnel who will be sent to the plant site to augment the onsite emergency organization.
4. Identification, by position and function to be performed, of persons within License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 64 of 70 the licensee organization who will be responsible for making offsite dose projections, and a description of how these projections will be made and the results transmitted to State and local authorities, NRC, and other appropriate governmental entities.
5. Identification, by position and function to be performed, of other employees of the licensee with special qualifications for coping with emergency conditions that may arise. Other persons with special qualifications, such as consultants, who are not employees of the licensee and who may be called upon for assistance for emergencies shall also be identified. The special qualifications of these persons shall be described.
6. A description of the local offsite services to be provided in support of the licensee's emergency organization.
7. By June 23, 2014, identification of, and a description of the assistance expected from, appropriate State, local, and Federal agencies with responsibilities for coping with emergencies, including hostile action at the site. For purposes of this appendix, "hostile action" is defined as an act directed toward a nuclear power plant or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, take hostages, and/or intimidate 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.
8. Identification of the State and/or local officials responsible for planning for, ordering, and controlling appropriate protective actions, including evacuations when necessary.
9. By December 24, 2012, for nuclear power reactor licensees, a detailed analysis demonstrating that on-shift personnel assigned emergency plan implementation functions are not assigned responsibilities that would prevent the timely performance of their assigned functions as specified in the emergency plan.

Revision 1 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," dated November 1980, was intended to aid licensees, applicants for licenses, or State and local emergency response organizations in the development of their Radiological Emergency Response Plans. The NRC endorsed this document for use in this effort via Revision 2 to Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.101, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors," dated October 1981. RG 1.101 allowed for licensees to submit alternatives to the guidance provided in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 for staff review and approval if necessary.

Section II.B of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, states, in part:

On-shift facility licensee responsibilities for emergency response are unambiguously defined, adequate staffing to provide initial facility accident License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 65 of 70 response in key functional areas is maintained at all times, timely augmentation of response capabilities is available, and the interfaces among various onsite response activities and offsite support and response activities are specified.

Evaluation Criteria 5 of Section II.B of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, states, in part:

Each licensee shall specify the positions or title and major tasks to be performed by the persons to be assigned to the functional areas of emergency activity. For emergency situations, specific assignments shall be made for all shifts and for plant staff members, both onsite and away from the site. These assignments shall cover the emergency functions in Table B-1 entitled, "Minimum On-Site Staffing Requirements for Nuclear Power Plant Emergencies." The minimum on-shift staffing levels shall be as indicated in Table B-1. The licensee must be able to augment on-shift capabilities within a short period after declaration of an emergency. This capability shall be as indicated in Table B-1.

10 CFR 50.54(q) establishes requirements that all holders of a nuclear power reactor operating license must follow and maintain in effect emergency plans which meet the planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements in 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities." 10 CFR 50.47 of 10 CFR, "Emergency plans," sets forth emergency plan requirements for nuclear power plant facilities.

NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," provides guidance and acceptance criteria to provide a basis for NRC licensees, State and local governments to develop radiological emergency plans and improve emergency preparedness.

Regulatory Guide 1.219, "Guidance on Making Changes to Emergency Plans for Nuclear Power Reactors," provides guidance related to emergency preparedness and specifically to making changes to emergency response plans.

NRC Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2005-02, Revision 1, "Clarifying the Process for Making Emergency Plan Changes," which provides guidance to (1) clarify the meaning of a "decrease in effectiveness," as stated in 10 CFR 50.54(q); (2) clarify the process for evaluating proposed changes to emergency plans; (3) provide a method for evaluating proposed changes to emergency plans; and (4) provide clarifying guidance on the appropriate content and format of applications submitted to the NRC for approval prior to implementation.

NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, "Interim Staff Guidance, Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants," provides guidance for addressing emergency planning requirements for nuclear power plants. This guidance is based on changes to Emergency preparedness regulations 10 CFR 50.47 and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, that were License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 66 of 70 published in the Federal Register (FR) on November 23, 2011 (i.e., reference 76FR 72560). The guidance should be used by licensees and applicants for implementing changes to onsite EP programs based on the revised emergency preparedness requirements and by NRC for reviewing the adequacy of the revised onsite emergency preparedness programs.

In addition, Exelon also reviewed the Alternative Guidance for Licensee Emergency Response Organizations (Alternative Guidance) finalized in letter from the NRC to NEI, June 12, 2018 and draft RIS 2016-10, "License Amendment Requests for Changes to Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Augmentation" (ML15338A291) in support of this submittal.

Exelon has evaluated the proposed changes against the applicable regulatory requirements and guidance criteria. The proposed Emergency Plan changes continue to assure that regulatory requirements and emergency planning standards associated with emergency response are met.

4.2 Precedent There is no industry precedent for licensees implementing changes based on the NRCs Alternative Guidance; however, there have been other ERO staffing amendments approved by the NRC within the last few years. Specifically, on March 14, 2017, the NRC approved Southern Nuclear Operating Companys License Amendment Request to standardize the Emergency Plans for the Joseph M. Farley, Edwin I. Hatch and Vogtle Nuclear Plant Stations which included changes to the ERO staffing (ML16141A109).

Regarding Exelon stations, a revision to the Three Mile Island Emergency Plan related to ERO staffing was approved by the NRC on June 23, 2017 (ML17137A393).

4.3 No Significant Hazards Consideration In accordance with 10 CFR 50.90, "Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit," Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) requests amendments to the following license:

DPR R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant The requested amendments to the license support changes to the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna) Emergency Plan based upon completion of a supporting evaluation of onsite Emergency Response Organization (ERO) staffing. The proposed changes will help align the Exelon nuclear stations minimum staff ERO with the Alternative Guidance for Licensee Emergency Response Organizations finalized in letter from the NRC to NEI, June 12, 2018.

The proposed changes have been reviewed considering the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.47, 10 CFR 50, Appendix E and other applicable NRC guidance criteria. Exelon has evaluated the proposed changes to the Ginna Emergency Plan and determined that the changes do not involve a Significant Hazards Consideration. In support of this determination, an evaluation of each of the three (3) standards, set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of amendment," is provided below.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 67 of 70

1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The proposed changes to the Ginna Emergency Plan do not increase the probability or consequences of an accident. The proposed changes do not impact the function of plant Structures, Systems, or Components (SSCs). The proposed changes do not affect accident initiators or accident precursors, nor do the changes alter design assumptions.

The proposed changes do not alter or prevent the ability of the onsite ERO to perform their intended functions to mitigate the consequences of an accident or event. The proposed changes remove ERO positions no longer credited or considered necessary in support of Emergency Plan implementation.

Therefore, the proposed changes to the Ginna Emergency Plan do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The proposed changes have no impact on the design, function, or operation of any plant SSCs. The proposed changes do not affect plant equipment or accident analyses. The proposed changes do not involve a physical alteration of the plant (i.e., no new or different type of equipment will be installed), a change in the method of plant operation, or new operator actions. The proposed changes do not introduce failure modes that could result in a new accident, and the proposed changes do not alter assumptions made in the safety analysis. The proposed changes remove ERO positions no longer credited or considered necessary in support of Emergency Plan implementation.

Therefore, the proposed changes to the Ginna Emergency Plan do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No.

Margin of safety is associated with confidence in the ability of the fission product barriers (i.e., fuel cladding, reactor coolant system pressure boundary, and containment structure) to limit the level of radiation dose to the public.

The proposed changes do not adversely affect existing plant safety margins or the reliability of the equipment assumed to operate in the safety analyses. There are no changes being made to safety analysis assumptions, safety limits, or limiting safety system settings that would adversely affect plant safety as a result of the proposed changes. Margins of safety are unaffected by the proposed changes to the ERO staffing.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 68 of 70 The proposed changes are associated with the Ginna Emergency Plan staffing and do not impact operation of the plant or its response to transients or accidents. The proposed changes do not affect the Technical Specifications. The proposed changes do not involve a change in the method of plant operation, and no accident analyses will be affected by the proposed changes. Safety analysis acceptance criteria are not affected by these proposed changes. The proposed changes to the Emergency Plan will continue to provide the necessary onsite ERO response staff.

Therefore, the proposed changes to the Ginna Emergency Plan do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

4.4 Conclusions In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above: 1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, 2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and 3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The proposed changes are applicable to emergency planning standards for R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna) involving proposed ERO staffing changes. The proposed changes do not reduce the capability to meet the emergency planning standards established in 10 CFR 50.47 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E. The proposed changes do not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in the individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed changes meet the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed changes.

Furthermore, in accordance with 10 CFR 51, additional information is provided below in support of a finding that the proposed changes do not have significant impact on the quality of the human environment.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) is requesting amendments to the license for Ginna.

Specifically, the proposed changes would revise certain Emergency Response Organization (ERO) positions to align with the minimum staff ERO guidance specified in the NRCs Alternative Guidance The proposed changes will also relocate the identified Full Augmentation ERO positions specified in Figure 2-1, "Minimum On-Site Staff Requirements," of each affected station's Emergency Plan to an Emergency Preparedness Implementing Procedure (EPIP).

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-244 and 72-67 Page 69 of 70 The proposed changes have been reviewed considering the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47, "Emergency plans," paragraph (b), 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities," and other applicable emergency preparedness NRC guidance documents. An evaluation of the proposed changes pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54, "Conditions of licenses," paragraph (q), "Emergency plans," determined that the proposed changes result in a reduction in effectiveness of the Emergency Plans for the affected facilities and, therefore, require prior NRC approval.

Exelon has determined that the proposed changes do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. The proposed changes update the licensing basis for the Ginna related to ERO staffing consistent with guidance in the NRCs Alternative Guidance. The associated changes to the ERO staffing will not affect the quality of the human environment.

As described above, Exelon has determined that operation of the subject facilities in accordance with the proposed changes does not involve a significant hazards consideration, in that it does not: 1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; 2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or 3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Exelon has determined that operation of Ginna in accordance with the proposed changes does not authorize a significant change in the types or a significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite. The proposed changes are unrelated to any aspects of plant construction or operation that would introduce any changes to effluent types (e.g.,

effluents containing chemicals or biocides, sanitary system effluents, or other effluents) or affect any plant radiological or non-radiological effluent release quantities. Furthermore, these changes do not diminish the functionality of any design or operational features that are credited with controlling the release of effluents during plant operation.

Exelon has determined that operation of the affected facilities in accordance with the proposed changes does not result in a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The proposed changes will not affect how a structure, system, or component will be used to meet the design bases of the nuclear plant. The proposed changes will have no effect on the construction or operation of the nuclear plants and, therefore, would not introduce any changes to the amount of occupational radiation exposure.

In conclusion, Exelon has operational effects of the proposed amendment do not involve 1) a significant hazards consideration, 2) a significant change in the types of or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, or 3) a significant increase in the individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Consequently, the proposed changes will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear Shift Technical Advisor (STA): During normal plant operations, the Senior Reactor Operators report to the Shift Manager and directly supervise the licensed Reactor Operators and all activities in the Control Room. During an abnormal condition, the Shift Manager assumes direct supervision of personnel and all activities in the Control Room while a qualified individual steps back and assumes an overview role as an STA with the specific responsibility of monitoring the maintenance of core cooling and containment integrity. An individual assigned the duty as the STA shall be available to the Control Room at all times.

Radiation Protection: The Station Radiation Protection personnel are responsible for the handling and monitoring of radioactive materials. Included in this organization are Health Physicists, Radiation Protection Supervisors and Technicians.

Chemistry: The Station Chemistry personnel are responsible for sampling of system effluents, and the chemical and radio-analytical analysis of those samples. Included in this organization are Chemists, Chemistry Supervisors and Technicians.

Security: The Station Security personnel are responsible for the physical security of the site. Included in this organization are Security Supervisors and Security Guards.

2. Authority Over the Emergency Response Organization The Emergency Director in Command and Control is the designated Exelon Nuclear individual who has overall authority and responsibility, management ability, and technical knowledge for coordinating all emergency response activities at the nuclear power station.
  • Control Room: Shift Emergency Director (Shift Manager)
  • TSC: Station Emergency Director
  • EOF: Corporate Emergency Director
3. Criteria for Assuming Command and Control (Succession)

Emergency personnel assume responsibility for their positions upon receiving notification to activate. The responsibility for initial assessment of and response to an emergency rests with the Shift Manager. The Shift Manager is the Shift Emergency Director and has the Station and Corporate Emergency Director's responsibilities and authority until relieved by a qualified Station Emergency Director.

The Station Corporate Emergency Director, once having relieved the Shift Manager of the Emergency Director responsibilities, is responsible for continued assessment of the severity of the emergency and for the necessary functions as described in the E-Plan, the Station Annex, and the emergency implementing procedures. Final succession is achieved when the Corporate Emergency Director assumes overall Command and Control, and directs Exelon Nuclear's Emergency Response activities.

TBD 2019 B-2 EP-AA-1000 (Revision x)

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear The Shift Emergency Director is relieved of Command and Control as soon as possible after the declaration of an Alert (or higher classification if Alert not declared). Command and Control may be transferred directly to the Corporate Emergency Director, or transferred to the Station Emergency Director on an interim basis. Following the Command and Control turnover, the Corporate Emergency Director shall have overall Command and Control of the Emergency Response.

Note that the Station Emergency Director takes responsibility for onsite Non-Delegable Responsibilities including Classification and Emergency Exposure Control. The Corporate Emergency Director takes responsibility for offsite Non-Delegable Responsibilities including Protective Action Recommendations and State/local Notifications. Command and Control does not transfer until the following criteria have been met:

  • Adequate staff levels are present in support of the non-delegable responsibilities.
  • The staff has been fully briefed as to the status of the event and the currently proposed plan of action.
  • A turnover between the Emergency Director relinquishing Command and Control and the Emergency Director assuming Command and Control has been made.

Although Exelon Nuclear's ERO fulfills all regulatory requirements for emergency response, it may be altered by the Emergency Director. This type of alteration will be based upon identified needs within the ERO, event dependent criteria, and identified needs of the company as a whole.

4. Non-Delegable Responsibilities Non-delegable responsibilities include the following functions:
  • Event classification.
  • Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) for the general public.
  • Notification of offsite authorities (approval of state/local and NRC notifications).
  • Authorization of emergency exposure controls in excess of 5 Rem TEDE and the issuance of potassium iodide (KI), for Exelon Nuclear emergency workers per EPA-400.

The Shift Manager is responsible for the initial classification of an event and assumes the position as Shift Emergency Director. In this capacity, the Shift Manager has responsibility for performing the non-delegable responsibilities until relieved.

The Shift Emergency Director is relieved of Command and Control as soon as possible after the declaration of an Alert (or higher classification if Alert not declared). Overall Command and Control is transferred to the Station Emergency Director but may be transferred directly to the Corporate Emergency Director.

5. Emergency Response Organization Positional Responsibilities The Emergency Plan designates two types of augmented ERO responders. Those designated as Minimum Staff are those key ERO needed to relieve the on-shift staff of key EP functions/tasks required in response to the Emergency and are those required to activate their respective Emergency Response Facility (ERF).

Specifically, these are the ERO that are the absolute minimum needed to implement the emergency plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the emergency plan may not be effectively implemented). These positions in most cases are required to respond to their respective ERF within 60 minutes of the declaration of an Alert or higher. See Appendix 5, Table 5-1 for the list of On-shift and Minimum Staff positions.

The positions which are considered Full Augmented staff (i.e., non-min staff) are those positions which provide support for the minimum staff in their response to the Emergency. The Full Augmentation positions consist mostly of liaisons, coordinators and additional communicators which help facilitate communication and the emergency response effort over time, but are not directly needed to implement the functions/tasks identified in the Emergency Plan.

ERO staffing tables contained within the station specific Annexthis Emergency Plan, outlines ERO positions required to meet minimum staffing and full augmentation of the on-shift complement at an Alert or higher classification, and the major tasks assigned to each position. The full augmentation staffing levels are used as a planning basis to cover a wide range of possible eventsdescribed in Emergency Preparedness Implementing Procedures (EPIPs). For extended events (one which lasts for more than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />), actual staffing will be established by the Emergency Director based on the event and personnel availability. However, additional staffing or reduced staffing will only occur after discussion concerning the impact on plant operations and emergency response.

In addition to maintaining adequate documentation of the event, responsibilities for each position are as follows:

a. Station Emergency Response Organization: The Station ERO is the onsite group that is activated during an emergency. It functions under the Station Emergency Director, who is responsible for organizing and coordinating the emergency efforts at and within the immediate vicinity of the station (including carrying out all onsite emergency efforts and the initial offsite environs monitoring efforts necessary to assess plant releases).

The Station ERO consists of station personnel who are involved with emergency response efforts necessary to control the plant during an incident. This organization operates out of the Control Room, the Technical Support Center (TSC) and the Operations Support Center (OSC). Collectively, members of the Station ERO provide for the following activities during an emergency:

  • Plant systems operations
  • Radiological survey and monitoring (including Environs Monitoring)

TBD 2019 B-5 EP-AA-1000 (Revision x)

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear

  • Firefighting
  • Rescue operations and First Aid
  • Decontamination
  • Security of plant and access control
  • Repair and damage control
  • Personnel protection including Assembly, Accountability and Evacuation
  • Communications
  • Initial Liaison responsibilities with Federal, state and local authorities When plant conditions warrant entry into the Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMGs), the Station Emergency Director or other qualified individual (e.g., Operations Manager) assumes the role of Decision-Maker. The Technical Manager and/or another Other qualified individual(s) assumes the role of Evaluator (at least 2 are required), and the Control Room staff assumes the role of Implementers. Control Room personnel will perform mitigating actions for severe accidents per EOPs prior to TSC activation.

All Station ERO personnel shall have the authority to perform assigned duties in a manner consistent with the objectives of this plan.

1) Shift Manager (Shift Emergency Director) Control Room A Shift Manager is on duty 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day and is the Shift Emergency Director in a declared emergency until relieved of this function. While serving in this capacity the Shift Manager is responsible for:
  • Activating the ERO (as deemed appropriate or as procedurally required).
  • Performing those duties outlined in Section B.5.a.2 for the Station Emergency Director. The responsibilities described for the Station Emergency Director applies to either the Shift Emergency Director or the Station Emergency Director depending on which individual is in Command and Control.

The on-duty Shift Manager directs the activities of the operating crew and is responsible for the safe operation of the plant in compliance with the station NRC operating license and the station operating procedures. The Shift Manager, after relinquishing Command and Control, functionally reports to the Operations Manager in the TSC.

The Shift Manager's responsibilities, when not in Command and Control, are described below:

9) Field Monitoring Team (FMT) Communications: A separate communications system has been installed to allow coordinated environmental monitoring and assessment during an emergency. This system consists of the necessary hardware to allow communication between the Control Room, TSC, EOF, and mobile units in Exelon Nuclear vehicles. Though direct communications between the Control Room and the FMTs is not required per the prescribed methods of FMT coordination, the FMTs can be contacted from equipment in the Control Room if required. Commercial cell phones or other means are available as back up to the primary field team communications system.

In addition, station communication links exist to ensure appropriate information transfer capabilities during an emergency. The station may also utilize its Public Address System, station radios and notification devices to augment its emergency communications.

e. ERO Notification System: Exelon Nuclear utilizes an automated ERO Notification System to rapidly notify members of the ERO. The system consists of a network of physical infrastructure capable of initiating and receiving contact via multiple notification devices. When activated, the system contacts the notification devices (e.g., through commercial and cellular phone, email, text message) belonging to members of the ERO. The System includes redundant activation methods via the internet, call-centers, or direct telephone activation, as well as redundant, geographically separated call centers and data centers, with redundant power sources. Implementing procedures specify the course of action to be taken if the primary ERO Notification System activation path fails to respond. The ERO Notification System provides primary and back-up notification functions. For the Exelon North East sites, the ERO notification system description is contained in the Station Annex and EP implementing procedures.
f. NRC Communications (ENS and HPN)

Communications with the NRC Operations Center will be performed via the NRC ENS and HPN circuits or commercial telephone line. Information is normally communicated from an approved NRC Event Notification Worksheet prior to establishing an open ENS and/or HPN line.

The actual configuration of these systems may vary from station to station.

Installation and use of these NRC telephones is under the direction of the NRC (see Figure F-3).

Emergency Notification System (ENS): Dedicated telephone equipment is in place between each nuclear station's Control Room and the NRC, with an extension of that line in the TSC. A separate line is available in the EOF with the capability of being patched with the station through the NRC. This line is used for NRC event notifications and status updates.

Health Physics Network (HPN): There also exists a separate dedicated telephone between the NRC, the TSC, and EOF for conveying health physics information to the NRC as requested or as an open line.

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear The primary purpose of the Emergency Public Information Organization is to disseminate information from Exelon Nuclear's ERO about the emergency events to the public, via the news media. However, the authority for issuance of news releases for the classification of an Unusual Event or prior to ERO activation will always reside with the Exelon Communications and Public Affairs Department. Upon activation, the Emergency Public Information Organization has the responsibility and authority for issuance of news releases to the public.

The Emergency Public Information Organization is comprised of senior managers from Exelon Nuclear who will function as spokespersons, and other Exelon Nuclear individuals including personnel from the Governmental Affairs and Human Relations areas. Exelon Nuclear's spokespersons disseminate information to the news media/public concerning the emergency events out of a Joint Information Center (JIC).

2) The Joint Information Center (JIC): The JIC is the facility in which media personnel gather to receive information related to the emergency event. The JIC is the location where approved news releases will be provided to the media for dissemination to the public. News releases are coordinated between the EOF and JIC personnel and state and/or Federal representatives in the JIC. Exelon public information personnel operate from the EOF and the JIC, which is under the direction of the Corporate Spokesperson and functions as the single point contact to interface with Federal, state, and local authorities who are responsible for disseminating information to the public.

Each station has a designated JIC. Each JIC is equipped with appropriate seating, lighting and visual aids to allow for public announcements and briefings to be given to the news media. Additionally, JICs are equipped with commercial telephone lines for making outgoing calls. The Emergency Public Information Organization functions from the JIC and EOF in preparing and releasing utility information about the emergency event. The JIC is activated at the declaration of an Alert or higher classification. Some JIC personnel may perform functions remotely from alternate locations while remaining in contact with personnel in the JIC facility (e.g., media monitoring, rumor control, news writers, issuance of press releases). The JIC Director and Corporate Spokesperson will ensure communication and coordination of these functions with the EOF and JIC staff. Functions of the JIC include:

  • Serving as the primary location for accumulating accurate and current information regarding the emergency conditions and writing news releases.
  • Providing work space and phones for public information personnel from the state, counties, NRC, FEMA, and industry-related organizations.
  • Providing telephones for use by the news media personnel.

TBD 2019 G-2 EP-AA-1000 (Revision x)

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear

  • Providing responses to media inquiries through Media Monitoring Staff telephones that the media can call for information about an emergency.
b. The news media is not permitted into the EOF during an emergency.
4. Coordination of Public Information
a. The JIC is staffed by Exelon and government public information representatives who will be the source of public information during an emergency at the station.

The Corporate Spokesperson is the primary spokesperson for Exelon Nuclear.

The Corporate Spokesperson has direct access to all necessary information (see Section B.5).

b. The JIC is staffed by federal, state, county, and utility personnel to assure timely, periodic exchange and coordination of information. Representatives coordinate information prior to conducting news briefings.
c. Rumors or misinformation are identified during an emergency by the media/rumor control monitorsJIC Staff. They respond to public and news media calls and monitor media reports.
d. The common MW Region JIC is located west of Chicago, in Warrenville IL, in the Exelon Nuclear Cantera facility. This facility supports the Braidwood, Byron, Clinton, Dresden, LaSalle and Quad Cities stations.

The JIC for the MA Region Three Mile Island, Limerick and Peach Bottom Stations is co-located with the EOF at 175 North Caln Road, Coatesville, Pennsylvania.

The JIC for Calvert Cliffs Station is co-located with the EOF about twelve miles from the site, in Calvert Industrial Park, Skipjack Road at Hallowing Point Road.

The JIC for the Ginna Station is located at 1255 Research Forest, Macedon, NY.

The JIC for the Nine Mile Point Station is located near the Oswego County Airport, on County Route 176 in the Town of Volney, New York approximately 12 miles from the site.

5. Media Orientation Emergency Preparedness, in conjunction with Exelon Communications and Public Affairs Department, offers training (at least annually) to acquaint news media with the E-Plan, information concerning radiation, and points of contact for release of public information in an emergency. Training is provided for those media agencies that accept the training offer.

TBD 2019 G-3 EP-AA-1000 (Revision x)

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear Personnel in the TSC shall be protected from radiological hazards, including direct radiation and airborne contaminants under accident conditions with similar radiological habitability as Control Room personnel. To ensure adequate radiological protection, permanent radiation monitoring systems have been installed in the TSC and/or periodic radiation surveys are conducted. These systems indicate radiation dose rates and airborne radioactivity inside the TSC while in use. In addition, protective breathing apparatus (full-face air purifying respirators) and KI are available for use as required.

The TSC has access to a complete set of as-built drawings and other records, including general arrangement diagrams, P&IDs, and the electrical schematics.

The TSC has the capability to record and display vital plant data, in real time, to be used by knowledgeable individuals responsible for engineering and management support of reactor operations, and for implementation of emergency procedures.

c. Operations Support Center (OSC): Each nuclear generating station has established an OSC. The OSC is the onsite location to where station support personnel report during an emergency and from which they will be dispatched for assignments or duties in support of emergency operations. The OSC shall be activated whenever the TSC is activated, but need not remain activated at the Alert level if its use is judged unnecessary by the Station Emergency Director. At the Site Area and General Emergency levels, the OSC or an alternate OSC shall be activated at all times. The OSC is not activated for a HOSTILE ACTION when the Alternative Facility is implemented. Activation for other events is optional.

Station disciplines reporting to the OSC include, but are not limited to:

  • Operating personnel not assigned to the Control Room,
  • Radiation Protection Personnel,
  • Chemistry Personnel,
  • Maintenance Personnel (mechanical, electrical and I&C).

Figure B-1b illustrates the staffing and organization for the OSC.

Each OSC is equipped with communication links to the Control Room, the TSC and the EOF (see Section F). A limited inventory of supplies will be kept for the OSC. This inventory will include respirators, protective clothing, flashlights and portable survey instruments.

2. Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)

The EOF is the location where the Corporate Emergency Director will direct a staff in evaluating and coordinating the overall company activities involved with an emergency. Activation of the EOF is mandatory upon declaration of an Alert or higher classification. The EOF provides for:

  • Management of overall emergency response.

TBD 2019 H-3 EP-AA-1000 (Revision x)

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear

3. Emergency Operations Centers EOCs operated by the state and local communities have been established to perform direction and control of emergency response functions.

The respective state EOCs are capable of continuous (24-hour) operations for a protracted period. These centers contain sufficient communications (radio, telephone and teletype) equipment, maps, emergency plans, and status boards to provide the necessary interfaces with other federal, state, county, and Exelon emergency facilities.

The county EOCs serve as Command and Control headquarters for local emergency response activities as well as a center for the coordination of communications to field units and to the state EOCs. These EOCs have the equipment necessary, (such as facsimile machines, telecommunications equipment, radio gear, photocopiers, wall maps, etc.) to carry out their emergency responsibilities.

4. Activation NOTE: NUREG-0654 Criterion II.B.5 states that the licensee must be able to augment on-shift capabilities within a short period after declaration of an emergency. It further defines that short period as 30 and 60 minutes. The time frames for rapid augmentation of a nuclear power plant staff in the event of an emergency are not rigid inviolate requirements but rather goals. It is Exelon Nuclears intent to expend its best efforts to meet the augmentation criteria goals regarding staffing Emergency Response Facilities with sufficiently skilled individuals capable of handling an emergency. Both the NRC and Exelon Nuclear realize that due to diversity of normal residential patterns for the stations staff, possible adverse weather conditions, road congestion and site access restrictions, these time frames might be exceeded.

Exelon Nuclear has put into place plans and procedures to ensure timely activation of its emergency response facilities. The Shift Manager (as Shift Emergency Director) will initiate a call-out in accordance with the implementing procedures. The ERO augmentation process identifies individuals who are capable of fulfilling the specific response functions that are listed in ERO staffing tables contained within the station specific Annex. This table was developed based on the functions listed in NUREG-0654, Table B-1.

Although the response time will vary due to factors such as weather and traffic conditions, a goal of 60 minutes for minimum staffing, following the declaration of an Alert or higher emergency classification, has been established for the ERO personnel responding to the station emergency facilities and the EOF. Additionally, plans have been developed to ensure timely functional activation and staffing of the JIC within 90 minutes of when the classification of Alert or higher is declared.

TBD 2019 H-5 EP-AA-1000 (Revision x)

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear It is the goal of the organization to be capable of activating the applicable Emergency Response Facility upon achieving minimum staffing. The facility can be declared activated when the following conditions are met:

a. Minimum staffing has been achieved.
b. The facility is functional.

Although the minimum staffing criteria applies to the JIC, the activation time is not applicable. Public Information personnel must first coordinate the decision to activate the JIC with the appropriate offsite authorities.

The Director in charge may elect to activate their facility without meeting minimum staffing; if it has been determined that sufficient personnel are available to fully respond to the specific event (this would not constitute a successful minimum staff response).

5. Monitoring Equipment Onsite Each nuclear station is equipped with instrumentation for seismic monitoring, radiation monitoring, fire protection and meteorological monitoring. Instrumentation for the detection or analysis of emergency conditions is maintained in accordance with station Technical Specifications, if applicable, or commitments made to the NRC. The actual instrumentation varies somewhat from site to site and thus will not be described in detail in this plan. Descriptions of the equipment will appear in each Station Annex. This equipment includes but is not limited to the following:
a. Geophysical Monitors
1) Meteorological Instrumentation: A permanent meteorological monitoring station is located near each station for display and recording of wind speed, wind direction, and ambient and differential temperature for use in making offsite dose projections. Meteorological information is presented in the CR, TSC, and EOF by means of the plant computer system. This information is remotely interrogated using a computer or other data access terminal.

With regard to Exelon Nuclears meteorological monitoring program, there has been a quality assurance program adopted from 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.

However, since the meteorological facilities are not composed of structures, systems, and components that prevent or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents and are not "safety related," not all aspects of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, apply. Those aspects of quality assurance germane to supplying good meteorological information for a nuclear power station were adopted into the meteorological quality assurance program. The meteorological program is also subject to the requirements of the QATR, Section 19, Augmented Quality.

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 2: Organizational Control of Emergencies This section in conjunction with EP-AA-1000, Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan, describes the Exelon Emergency Response Organization (ERO), its key positions and associated responsibilities. It outlines the staffing requirements which provide initial emergency response actions and provisions for timely augmentation of on-shift personnel when required. It also describes interfaces among emergency response personnel and specifies the offsite support available to respond to the nuclear generating stations. Figures 2.1 through 2.7 shows the Inter-relationships of Ginna Station Emergency Response Organizationsinterfaces between and among the ERO functional areas.

2.1 On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Assignments The initial phases of an emergency situation at a nuclear station will most likely 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 subsequent phases of the emergency situation may require an increasing augmentation of the emergency organization.

All Exelon Nuclear stations have the capability at all times to perform detection, mitigation, classification, and notification functions required in the early phases of an emergency.

2.2 Authority Over the Emergency Response Organization The Emergency Director in Command and Control is the designated Exelon individual who has overall authority and responsibility, management ability, and technical knowledge for coordinating all emergency response activities at the nuclear power station. The Emergency Director will immediately and unilaterally initiate any emergency actions, including providing protective action recommendations to authorities responsible for implementing offsite emergency measures.

The Shift Manager is available at all times to assume the responsibilities of Emergency Director. Qualified individuals are on-call to respond to the TSC and EOF to assume Command and Control responsibilities.

2.3 Criteria for Assuming Command and Control (Succession)

The responsibility for initial assessment of and response to an emergency rests with the Shift Manager (Shift Emergency Director). Emergency personnel assume responsibility for their positions upon receiving notification to activate when an event has been declared.

The Emergency Director responsibilities are initially assumed by the Shift Manager. If the event is classified at an Alert or Higher level, or the Shift Emergency Director deems it appropriate, the Shift ERO will be augmented by the on-call ERO.

The Station Emergency Director will report to the TSC and assume the Emergency Director responsibilities to classify and declare emergencies, ensure October 2019 GN 2-1 EP-AA-1012 (Revision x)

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear appropriate evacuation actions for plant personnel, and approve emergency exposures and/or the issuance of KI. The Corporate Emergency Director will report to the EOF and assume the Emergency Director responsibilities to direct and approve offsite emergency notifications to state and local authorities, and to make protective action recommendations to offsite authorities.

The Shift Emergency Director is relieved of Command and Control as soon as possible after the declaration of an Alert or higher classification. Command and Control does not transfer until the following criteria have been met:

  • Adequate TSC/EOF staff levels are present in support of the non-delegable responsibilities.
  • The TSC/EOF staff have been fully briefed as to the status of the event and the currently proposed plan of action.
  • A formal turnover between the Emergency Director relinquishing Command and Control and the Emergency Director assuming Command and Control has been made.

2.4 Non-Delegable Responsibilities Functional responsibilities of the Emergency Director that may not be delegated include:

  • Event classification.
  • Notification of offsite authorities (approval of state/local and NRC notifications).
  • Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) for the general public.
  • Authorization of emergency exposure controls in excess of 5 rem TEDE and the issuance of potassium iodide (KI) for Exelon Nuclear emergency workers per EPA-400.

2.5 Emergency Response Organization Positional Responsibilities Table 2.1 outlines ERO positions required to meet minimum staffing (within 60 minutes) and full augmentation of the on-shift complement at an Alert or higher classification, and the major tasks assigned to each position. The full augmentation staffing levels are used as a planning basis to cover a wide range of possible events. For extended events (one which lasts for more than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />), actual staffing will be established by the Corporate Emergency Director based on the event and personnel availability. However, additional staffing or reduced staffing will only occur after discussion concerning the impact on plant operations and emergency response.

The station's ERO consist of three major sub groups reporting to the Corporate Emergency Director:

  • Onsite ERO, consisting of Control Room, TSC, OSC and Security personnel. The primary functions of the Onsite ERO is perform mitigative actions and ensure appropriate onsite protective actions are taken.

October 2019 GN 2-2 EP-AA-1012 (Revision x)

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear

  • Offsite ERO, consisting of EOF staff. The primary functions of the Offsite ERO is to interface with offsite authorities and perform offsite radiological assessment.
  • Public Information ERO, consisting of JIC staff. The primary function of the Public information ERO is to provide accurate information to the public through News Media.

2.6 Emergency Response Organization Block Diagram Figures 2.1 through 2.7 show the reporting chains and interfaces of the ERO.

2.7 Corporate Emergency Response Organization In the event of a declared emergency at one of Exelons Nuclear Stations, a Corporate Duty Officer is notified. The Duty Officer will notify senior company management personnel of the event. The Corporate Emergency Director will keep senior management informed of events and any need for assistance.

Specific departments of the company may be called on to assist as necessary to provide support for logistics, public information, finance, technical issues, etc..

Senior management may assist with interfacing government authorities and other outside organizations.

2.3 Augmentation of the Emergency Organization and Interface with Other Plans:

The Ginna emergency organization is augmented by a number of offsite services. Figure 2.1 shows the relationship of non-Company offsite organizations in emergency response. Letters of agreement are referenced in Appendix 2. These agreements are considered valid until changed by the author during the annual review of the Emergency Plan. The authors of the letters of agreement are contacted in person or by telephone and the content of the letters is verified.

Plant procedures contain the phone numbers and alternate means of contact needed to initiate emergency response actions. The communicator will initiate a call to New York State, Monroe County and Wayne County EOC, using the NYS Radiological Emergency Communication System (RECS). During working hours, the EOC staff will respond. During off hours, the County 911 Centers and the State Watch Center will respond for each Emergency Director to RECS calls.

The ERO is alerted by a call from an automated notification system or from the Ginna Control Room. Other offsite assistance, such as Department of Energy -

Radiological Assistance Plan (DOE-RAP) team or Westinghouse, is alerted by a call from the Emergency Director or designee to their duty officer at the phone numbers listed in procedures.

2.3.1 State of New York, Wayne and Monroe Counties Emergency Actions:

The Company is responsible for promptly notifying State and county authorities when conditions affect, or may affect, safe plant operations.

October 2019 GN 2-3 EP-AA-1012 (Revision x)

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear The participation of the counties, upon notification of an event involving the general public, is outlined in their Radiological Emergency Plans, which are reviewed in Appendix 54.

The Office of Emergency Management in each county consists of small administrative staffs and a pool of reserve personnel located throughout the county. Members receive training in monitoring, establishing relocation centers and providing medical attention, food, and lodging for evacuees. Extensive communication resources are available for use by the Local Disaster Coordinators and staff, including a number of radios for contacting the county fire coordinator, the police forces, public works and commercial radio stations. A roster of telephone numbers and contacts is maintained to communicate with agencies on State and local levels. Monitoring teams are available and radiological kits are maintained in shelters and firehouses located throughout the counties.

2.3.3 United States Coast Guard (USCG):

The USCG provides emergency support upon request by Wayne and Monroe Counties, in accordance with the Wayne County Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan and Monroe County Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan.

2.3.4 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region 1, Incident Response (

Reference:

NUREG-0728, NRC Incident Response Plan):

This NRC Plan describes the notification, communication decision-making and mobilization of the NRC Incident Response Organization in the event of an event/incident related to Ginna Station.

The extent of mobilization will depend upon the emergency classification and associated plant conditions.

The Company will supply whatever support services and resources are needed to maintain Federal assistance.

2.3.5 United States Department of Energy Radiological Assistance Program, Region I, Brookhaven Area Office, Upton, New York (DOE RAP/IRAP):

Since Ginna Station is located in DOE Region I, the Brookhaven Office of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has the responsibility to provide radiological assistance in the event of an emergency. Their principal goal is to be prepared in the event of a major accidental release, or other loss of control of radioactive material. Radiological assistance can be requested at any time by calling and indicating the nature of the incident, the location, and how to contact utility and local authorities in order to coordinate the Department of Energy response.

The assistance includes advice and emergency actions essential for the control of the immediate hazards to health and safety. This preparedness includes plans and procedures for: effective and economic use of resources; minimization of radiation exposure of individuals and the public; prevention of the spread of radioactive materials into the environment; and appropriate countermeasures to control and remove radiological hazards. Large numbers of qualified radiation, nuclear and medical specialists are the principal resource that can be made October 2019 GN 2-5 EP-AA-1012 (Revision x)

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear NOTE: The following are the four NRC Emergency Classifications.

3.2 Unusual Event:

Events within this Emergency Classification generally characterize off-normal plant conditions which, by themselves, do not constitute significant emergency conditions. Some of these events could, however, indicate a potential degradation in the level of plant safety and/or could escalate to a more severe condition if appropriate action is not taken.

The primary purpose for this classification is to ensure that the plant operating staff recognizes initiating conditions, takes appropriate action, and comes to a state of readiness to respond in the event that the condition becomes more significant. The Unusual Event classification or higher also requires that offsite authorities be promptly informed of the abnormal condition by use of the Radiological Emergency Communications System (RECS) and the New York State Radiological Emergency Data Form, Part I, found in procedure EP-CE-114-100. No response by offsite authorities is necessary for non-hostile action events within this classification. The TSC or EOF will not usually be activated, although the Station Emergency Director, Operations Manager, TSC RPM, and Technical Manager will normally report to the TSC to provide assistance.

When giving notice to State and county officials, the Company will make sure that they clearly understand the Unusual Event classification and that, if conditions change, there will be further notification.

3.3 Alert

This Emergency Classification is characterized by events which indicate an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of plant safety or a security threat that involves probable life-threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of hostile action. This classification requires response by the plant ERO and augmentation of onsite emergency resources. It constitutes the lowest level where emergency offsite response for non-hostile action events may be anticipated.

All Ginna emergency facilities will be staffed at an Alert or higher.

Prompt notification of an event within this classification will be made to the NRC, State of New York and Monroe and Wayne Counties. While the initial assessment would not require immediate response, potential releases of radioactivity make it advisable to alert offsite organizations. Periodic status updates will be made to keep authorities aware of the situation.

3.4 Site Area Emergency:

A Site Area Emergency is characterized by events involving actual or probable major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or hostile action that results in intentional damage or malicious acts: (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of equipment needed for the protection of the public; or (2) that prevent effectives access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Most events within this classification constitute actual or clear potential for significant releases of radioactive material October 2019 GN 3-2 EP-AA-1012 (Revision x)

The methodology for implementation of the Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) process is contained in EP-CE-111, Emergency Classification and Protective Action Recommendations, which also provides guidance for upgrading an initial PAR based on pertinent factors.

In making the recommendation for sheltering or evacuation, the EOF Radiation Protection Manager should evaluate the weather forecast in relation to changing winds and precipitation. The offsite authorities should evaluate the calculated evacuation times in relation to predicted start, length and termination of a release.

Emergency staff at Wayne and Monroe Counties and New York State shall determine, by evaluating the information given by the Corporate Emergency Director, if area evacuation or sheltering is necessary, to what extent, and how to undertake protective action including evacuation. A projection of population distribution in the 10 mile plume exposure zone is included in the Evacuation Time Estimates contained in EP-AA-1012, Addendum 2.

It may be necessary to administer first aid to the individual after he or she is located. The Corporate Emergency Director, TSC Director Station Emergency Director. or Control Room shall be advised of the situation.

4.9.5 Decontamination

A Radiation Protection procedure provides guidance for graduated measures to be used for decontamination. The objective of decontamination is to prevent the spread of radioactive material on the individual, to the environment or to other personnel and to reduce the resultant dose. Decontamination is essentially the removal of radioactive material and is performed starting with the highest level of contamination using the simplest procedures. Continued decontamination may show diminishing effectiveness and require a decision to stop or use more potent agents.

Decontamination kits, which contain items to decontaminate the skin and for wound cleansing, are available. Decontamination should continue until it is no longer effective but not so as to abrade skin. This procedure should be effective against iodine and other contaminants.

If personnel cannot be decontaminated to the limits of Procedure RP-AA-350, Personnel Contamination Monitoring, Decontamination and Reporting, Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site (REAC/TS) may be contacted.

Instruments are available to determine contamination levels of personnel or equipment and the effectiveness of decontamination. Waste drums are available as containers for radioactive waste and emergency clothing is available, if needed.

4.9.6 Offsite Authorities Actions:

Offsite authorities will provide assistance as needed to protect the public. In the event a Site Area Emergency is declared, this may include activating the public notification system and providing information and periodic updates of the situation through the EAS (Emergency Alert System) and/or press briefings.

Resources at primary response centers will be augmented by calling other emergency services to standby status and dispatching certain emergency personnel to initiate their functions (i.e., monitoring and communications).

Information from the licensee, monitoring teams and weather stations will be continually evaluated with regard to changes in protective actions already October 2019 GN 4-12 EP-AA-1012 (Revision x)

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.11 Public Relations:

Public information will be released by a Company spokesperson operating from the Joint Information Center. Public information personnel will be assisted by a Technical AdvisorJIC Director who keeps in contact with the Corporate Emergency Director and EOF operations. Company personnel will exchange information with government Public Information officers on a timely basis. All news releases will be coordinated among Federal, State, County and Company sources.

The Company communications department will be notified of any activation of this plan beginning at the Unusual Event classification level. Initial notification at the Unusual Event will be from the Control Room using an automated notification system. Instructions for notifying public information personnel at higher classifications are contained in EP-CE-114-100, Emergency Notifications.

The Joint Information Center will be activated during a nuclear emergency at an Alert or more severe event. The Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures provide for staffing this Center and outline the duties of various positions.

Individuals who are qualified to assume these positions are designated. Space is allocated in the Joint Information Center for use by various regulatory and government officials to coordinate and facilitate the flow of accurate information to the public. A Company spokesperson who has access to the EOF will be available to the news media for briefing and questions.

Information concerning plant employees is available through the Public Inquiry function located in the Joint Information Center.

Information concerning the status of the plant, employees and Protective Action Decisions is released by the public information officers representing the Company and Federal, State and local governments.

A public information program to acquaint the public with the proper actions to be taken in the event of a nuclear emergency at Ginna Station will be implemented on an annual basis. This program will provide information about radiation, protective actions which can be taken, suggested evacuation routes, assistance for those with special needs, proper responses to warning signals, and where additional information can be obtained. The program will be coordinated between Company, State and county officials, and consists of items such as printed calendars, brochures and, for Wayne County only, telephone directory instructions.

Material for placement in parks, motels and retail establishments to which transients have access will be provided on an annual basis.

An annual briefing and training session will be held to acquaint the news media with the Ginna Nuclear Emergency Response Plan and related government agency emergency plans. Information on plant operation, radiation effects and concerns, the implementation of our Emergency Plan, points of contact for the release of public information at the Company and other relevant topics will be kept current through these sessions.

October 2019 GN 4-16 EP-AA-1012 (Revision x)

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear If no release data is available, a method for assessment of release rates is used in conjunction with the X/Q values and offsite concentrations. The release rate of radioactive material from the plant can be calculated from the measured airborne concentration at a given downwind sample location and the X/Q value for that location. Field Team survey results can be used to back calculate doses at the site boundary and offsite.

The Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents (EPA 400-R-92-001), NUREG-0133, Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants (October 1978) and Regulatory Guide 1.109 Rev. 1, Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluation Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I (October 1977) provide the methodology for relating radiological measurements in various environmental media or effluent monitor readings to offsite dose or dose rates. Meteorological conditions can be factored into these calculations.

A computer program operating on a personal computer is available in the Control Room, TSC and EOF. This system provides multiple methods of calculating downwind dose rates and airborne contamination levels.

The sophisticated computer program, which uses the methods for environmental dose calculations required by Federal regulations, is also available to assess doses during and after an emergency. Additional information on the radiological consequences of a variety of accidents can be found in Chapter 15 of the Ginna Updated Final Safety Analysis Report.

External dose or dose rates from surface contamination or airborne radioactivity are determined by direct field measurements (dosimeter or survey meter).

Internal dose commitments from key isotopes via water or airborne pathways would be evaluated using the uptake rates, dose conversion factors, and other pathway parameters given in EPA 400, NUREG-0133 and Regulatory Guide 1.109. Computer software is available that uses these dose calculation models to determine the radiological dose assessment. In this manner, rapid determination of dose estimates from multiple pathways may be made for comparison with protective action guides.

October 2019 GN 5-10 EP-AA-1012 (Revision x)

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear A 1000-gallon holding tank is available to contain decontamination water from a sink and shower located at the Training Center. Decontamination water will be sampled prior to transfer, treatment or disposal.

5.4.6 Protective Equipment and Supplies:

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear Shift Technical Advisor (STA): During normal plant operations, the Senior Reactor Operators report to the Shift Manager and directly supervise the licensed Reactor Operators and all activities in the Control Room. During an abnormal condition, the Shift Manager assumes direct supervision of personnel and all activities in the Control Room while a qualified individual steps back and assumes an overview role as an STA with the specific responsibility of monitoring the maintenance of core cooling and containment integrity. An individual assigned the duty as the STA shall be available to the Control Room at all times.

Radiation Protection: The Station Radiation Protection personnel are responsible for the handling and monitoring of radioactive materials. Included in this organization are Health Physicists, Radiation Protection Supervisors and Technicians.

Security: The Station Security personnel are responsible for the physical security of the site. Included in this organization are Security Supervisors and Security Guards.

2. Authority Over the Emergency Response Organization The Emergency Director in Command and Control is the designated Exelon Nuclear individual who has overall authority and responsibility, management ability, and technical knowledge for coordinating all emergency response activities at the nuclear power station.
  • Control Room: Shift Emergency Director (Shift Manager)
  • TSC: Station Emergency Director
  • EOF: Corporate Emergency Director
3. Criteria for Assuming Command and Control (Succession)

Emergency personnel assume responsibility for their positions upon receiving notification to activate. The responsibility for initial assessment of and response to an emergency rests with the Shift Manager. The Shift Manager is the Shift Emergency Director and has the Station and Corporate Emergency Director's responsibilities and authority until relieved. The Corporate Emergency Director, once having relieved the Shift Manager of the Emergency Director responsibilities, is responsible for continued assessment of the severity of the emergency and for the necessary functions as described in the E-Plan, the Station Annex, and the emergency implementing procedures.

TBD 2019 B-2 EP-AA-1000 (Revision x)

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear The Shift Emergency Director is relieved of Command and Control as soon as possible after the declaration of an Alert (or higher classification if Alert not declared). Following the Command and Control turnover, the Corporate Emergency Director shall have overall Command and Control of the Emergency Response.

Note that the Station Emergency Director takes responsibility for onsite Non-Delegable Responsibilities including Classification and Emergency Exposure Control. The Corporate Emergency Director takes responsibility for offsite Non-Delegable Responsibilities including Protective Action Recommendations and State/local Notifications. Command and Control does not transfer until the following criteria have been met:

  • Adequate staff levels are present in support of the non-delegable responsibilities.
  • The staff has been fully briefed as to the status of the event and the currently proposed plan of action.
  • A turnover between the Emergency Director relinquishing Command and Control and the Emergency Director assuming Command and Control has been made.

Although Exelon Nuclear's ERO fulfills all regulatory requirements for emergency response, it may be altered by the Emergency Director. This type of alteration will be based upon identified needs within the ERO, event dependent criteria, and identified needs of the company as a whole.

4. Non-Delegable Responsibilities Non-delegable responsibilities include the following functions:
  • Event classification.
  • Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) for the general public.
  • Notification of offsite authorities (approval of state/local and NRC notifications).
  • Authorization of emergency exposure controls in excess of 5 Rem TEDE and the issuance of potassium iodide (KI), for Exelon Nuclear emergency workers per EPA-400.

The Shift Manager is responsible for the initial classification of an event and assumes the position as Shift Emergency Director. In this capacity, the Shift Manager has responsibility for performing the non-delegable responsibilities until relieved.

The Shift Emergency Director is relieved of Command and Control as soon as possible after the declaration of an Alert (or higher classification if Alert not declared). Overall Command and Control is transferred to the Corporate Emergency Director.

The Station Emergency Director assumes overall authority and responsibility for Classification and Emergency Exposure Control. The Corporate Emergency Director (EOF) assumes the non-delegable responsibilities for PAR determination and notifications to offsite authorities.

5. Emergency Response Organization Positional Responsibilities The Emergency Plan designates two types of augmented ERO responders. Those designated as Minimum Staff are those key ERO needed to relieve the on-shift staff of key EP functions/tasks required in response to the Emergency and are those required to activate their respective Emergency Response Facility (ERF).

Specifically, these are the ERO that are the absolute minimum needed to implement the emergency plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the emergency plan may not be effectively implemented). These positions in most cases are required to respond to their respective ERF within 60 minutes of the declaration of an Alert or higher. See Appendix 5, Table 5-1 for the list of On-shift and Minimum Staff positions.

The positions which are considered Full Augmented staff (i.e., non-min staff) are those positions which provide support for the minimum staff in their response to the Emergency. The Full Augmentation positions consist mostly of liaisons, coordinators and additional communicators which help facilitate communication and the emergency response effort over time, but are not directly needed to implement the functions/tasks identified in the Emergency Plan.

ERO staffing tables contained within this Emergency Plan, outlines ERO positions required to meet minimum staffing of the on-shift complement at an Alert or higher classification, and the major tasks assigned to each position.

c. Operations Support Center (OSC): Each nuclear generating station has established an OSC. The OSC is the onsite location to where station support personnel report during an emergency and from which they will be dispatched for assignments or duties in support of emergency operations. The OSC shall be activated whenever the TSC is activated, but need not remain activated at the Alert level if its use is judged unnecessary by the Station Emergency Director. At the Site Area and General Emergency levels, the OSC or an alternate OSC shall be activated at all times. The OSC is not activated for a HOSTILE ACTION when the Alternative Facility is implemented. Activation for other events is optional.

Station disciplines reporting to the OSC include, but are not limited to:

  • Operating personnel not assigned to the Control Room,
  • Radiation Protection Personnel,
  • Maintenance Personnel (mechanical, electrical and I&C).

Figure B-1b illustrates the staffing and organization for the OSC.

Each OSC is equipped with communication links to the Control Room, the TSC and the EOF (see Section F). A limited inventory of supplies will be kept for the OSC. This inventory will include respirators, protective clothing, flashlights and portable survey instruments.

2. Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)

The EOF is the location where the Corporate Emergency Director will direct a staff in evaluating and coordinating the overall company activities involved with an emergency. Activation of the EOF is mandatory upon declaration of an Alert or higher classification. The EOF provides for:

  • Management of overall emergency response.
  • Coordination of radiological and environmental assessments.

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear

3. Emergency Operations Centers EOCs operated by the state and local communities have been established to perform direction and control of emergency response functions.

The respective state EOCs are capable of continuous (24-hour) operations for a protracted period. These centers contain sufficient communications (radio, telephone and teletype) equipment, maps, emergency plans, and status boards to provide the necessary interfaces with other federal, state, county, and Exelon emergency facilities.

The county EOCs serve as Command and Control headquarters for local emergency response activities as well as a center for the coordination of communications to field units and to the state EOCs. These EOCs have the equipment necessary, (such as facsimile machines, telecommunications equipment, radio gear, photocopiers, wall maps, etc.) to carry out their emergency responsibilities.

4. Activation NOTE: NUREG-0654 Criterion II.B.5 states that the licensee must be able to augment on-shift capabilities within a short period after declaration of an emergency. It further defines that short period as 30 and 60 minutes. The time frames for rapid augmentation of a nuclear power plant staff in the event of an emergency are not rigid inviolate requirements but rather goals. It is Exelon Nuclears intent to expend its best efforts to meet the augmentation criteria goals regarding staffing Emergency Response Facilities with sufficiently skilled individuals capable of handling an emergency. Both the NRC and Exelon Nuclear realize that due to diversity of normal residential patterns for the stations staff, possible adverse weather conditions, road congestion and site access restrictions, these time frames might be exceeded.

Exelon Nuclear has put into place plans and procedures to ensure timely activation of its emergency response facilities. The Shift Manager (as Shift Emergency Director) will initiate a call-out in accordance with the implementing procedures. The ERO augmentation process identifies individuals who are capable of fulfilling the specific response functions that are listed in ERO staffing tables contained within the station specific Annex. This table was developed based on the functions listed in NUREG-0654, Table B-1.

Although the response time will vary due to factors such as weather and traffic conditions, a goal of 60 minutes for minimum staffing, following the declaration of an Alert or higher emergency classification, has been established for the ERO personnel responding to the station emergency facilities and the EOF. Additionally, plans have been developed to ensure timely functional activation and staffing of the JIC within 90 minutes of when the classification of Alert or higher is declared.

TBD 2019 H-5 EP-AA-1000 (Revision x)

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear It is the goal of the organization to be capable of activating the applicable Emergency Response Facility upon achieving minimum staffing. The facility can be declared activated when the following conditions are met:

a. Minimum staffing has been achieved.
b. The facility is functional.

The Director in charge may elect to activate their facility without meeting minimum staffing; if it has been determined that sufficient personnel are available to fully respond to the specific event (this would not constitute a successful minimum staff response).

5. Monitoring Equipment Onsite Each nuclear station is equipped with instrumentation for seismic monitoring, radiation monitoring, fire protection and meteorological monitoring. Instrumentation for the detection or analysis of emergency conditions is maintained in accordance with station Technical Specifications, if applicable, or commitments made to the NRC. The actual instrumentation varies somewhat from site to site and thus will not be described in detail in this plan. Descriptions of the equipment will appear in each Station Annex. This equipment includes but is not limited to the following:
a. Geophysical Monitors
1) Meteorological Instrumentation: A permanent meteorological monitoring station is located near each station for display and recording of wind speed, wind direction, and ambient and differential temperature for use in making offsite dose projections. Meteorological information is presented in the CR, TSC, and EOF by means of the plant computer system. This information is remotely interrogated using a computer or other data access terminal.

With regard to Exelon Nuclears meteorological monitoring program, there has been a quality assurance program adopted from 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.

However, since the meteorological facilities are not composed of structures, systems, and components that prevent or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents and are not "safety related," not all aspects of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, apply. Those aspects of quality assurance germane to supplying good meteorological information for a nuclear power station were adopted into the meteorological quality assurance program. The meteorological program is also subject to the requirements of the QATR, Section 19, Augmented Quality.

The National Weather Service (NWS), or regional weather forecast providers, may be contacted during severe weather periods. These providers analyze national and local weather in order to provide localized weather forecasts for the system or for the station area as appropriate.

TBD 2019 H-6 EP-AA-1000 (Revision x)

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear Radiation Protection personnel are trained to assess the radiological hazards associated with equipment repair and instruct personnel as to the appropriate protective clothing requirements, respiratory protection requirements, stay times, and other protective actions specific to the conditions present.

At least 50% of personnel from those departments, who are potential responders to the OSC as Damage Control Team members, are required to be qualified in the use of respiratory protection equipment. This includes in-plant supervision and craft/technicians for the following departments:

  • Operations
  • Radiation Protection
  • Maintenance (mechanical, electrical and I&C)
f. First Aid and Rescue Personnel: First aid and rescue team members receive training as outlined in Part 3 of this section.
g. Local Support Service Personnel: Local support service personnel providing assistance during an emergency are invited to receive training as outline in Parts 1.a and 1.b of this section.
h. Medical Support Personnel: Onsite medical personnel receive specialized training in the handling of contaminated victims and hospital interface. Offsite ambulance and hospital personnel are offered annual training in accordance with a program provided by Emergency Preparedness.
i. Public Information Personnel: Corporate and station personnel responsible for disseminating emergency public information and responding to media and public information requests receive specialized public information training.
j. Communications Personnel: ERO personnel receive training on communications protocol as a part of the initial Emergency Response Overview Course.

Personnel using specialized communications equipment that is not part of their normal daily function receive initial and requalification training on the equipment.

Personnel involved in notifications to offsite agencies receive specialized training in the notification process.

5. General, Initial, and Requalification Training Program Maintenance
a. Station Departments and Emergency Preparedness share the responsibility for ensuring that the ERO receives all necessary training and retraining. In order to carry this out, responsibilities are assigned as follows:

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 2: Organizational Control of Emergencies This section in conjunction with EP-AA-1000, Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan, describes the Exelon Emergency Response Organization (ERO), its key positions and associated responsibilities. It outlines the staffing requirements which provide initial emergency response actions and provisions for timely augmentation of on-shift personnel when required. It also describes interfaces among emergency response personnel and specifies the offsite support available to respond to the nuclear generating stations. Figure 2.1 shows the Inter-relationships of Ginna Station Emergency Response Organizations.

2.1 On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Assignments The initial phases of an emergency situation at a nuclear station will most likely 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 subsequent phases of the emergency situation may require an increasing augmentation of the emergency organization.

All Exelon Nuclear stations have the capability at all times to perform detection, mitigation, classification, and notification functions required in the early phases of an emergency.

2.2 Authority Over the Emergency Response Organization The Emergency Director in Command and Control is the designated Exelon individual who has overall authority and responsibility, management ability, and technical knowledge for coordinating all emergency response activities at the nuclear power station. The Emergency Director will immediately and unilaterally initiate any emergency actions, including providing protective action recommendations to authorities responsible for implementing offsite emergency measures.

The Shift Manager is available at all times to assume the responsibilities of Emergency Director. Qualified individuals are on-call to respond to the TSC and EOF to assume Command and Control responsibilities.

2.3 Augmentation of the Emergency Organization and Interface with Other Plans:

The Ginna emergency organization is augmented by a number of offsite services. Figure 2.1 shows the relationship of non-Company offsite organizations in emergency response. Letters of agreement are referenced in Appendix 2. These agreements are considered valid until changed by the author during the annual review of the Emergency Plan. The authors of the letters of agreement are contacted in person or by telephone and the content of the letters is verified.

Plant procedures contain the phone numbers and alternate means of contact needed to initiate emergency response actions. The communicator will initiate a call to New York State, Monroe County and Wayne County EOC, using the NYS Radiological Emergency Communication System (RECS). During working hours, October 2019 GN 2-1 EP-AA-1012 (Revision x)

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear 2.3.2 Local Disaster Coordinator (Wayne County Emergency Management Office and Monroe County Office of Emergency Management):

In general, the responsibilities of the Local Emergency Preparedness Coordinator in each county include the following:

a) On receipt of notification from the State of New York, or Ginna Station Control Room, alert local authorities and officials in accordance with established plans.

b) Coordinate response of local authorities and provide for available local assistance to the Company and State authorities in accordance with established plans.

The participation of the counties, upon notification of an event involving the general public, is outlined in their Radiological Emergency Plans, which are reviewed in Appendix 4.

The Office of Emergency Management in each county consists of small administrative staffs and a pool of reserve personnel located throughout the county. Members receive training in monitoring, establishing relocation centers and providing medical attention, food, and lodging for evacuees. Extensive communication resources are available for use by the Local Disaster Coordinators and staff, including a number of radios for contacting the county fire coordinator, the police forces, public works and commercial radio stations. A roster of telephone numbers and contacts is maintained to communicate with agencies on State and local levels. Monitoring teams are available and radiological kits are maintained in shelters and firehouses located throughout the counties.

2.3.3 United States Coast Guard (USCG):

The USCG provides emergency support upon request by Wayne and Monroe Counties, in accordance with the Wayne County Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan and Monroe County Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan.

2.3.4 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region 1, Incident Response (

Reference:

NUREG-0728, NRC Incident Response Plan):

This NRC Plan describes the notification, communication decision-making and mobilization of the NRC Incident Response Organization in the event of an event/incident related to Ginna Station.

The extent of mobilization will depend upon the emergency classification and associated plant conditions.

The Company will supply whatever support services and resources are needed to maintain Federal assistance.

2.3.5 United States Department of Energy Radiological Assistance Program, Region I, Brookhaven Area Office, Upton, New York (DOE RAP/IRAP):

Since Ginna Station is located in DOE Region I, the Brookhaven Office of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has the responsibility to provide radiological assistance in the event of an emergency. Their principal goal is to be prepared October 2019 GN 2-3 EP-AA-1012 (Revision x)

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear NOTE: The following are the four NRC Emergency Classifications.

3.2 Unusual Event:

Events within this Emergency Classification generally characterize off-normal plant conditions which, by themselves, do not constitute significant emergency conditions. Some of these events could, however, indicate a potential degradation in the level of plant safety and/or could escalate to a more severe condition if appropriate action is not taken.

The primary purpose for this classification is to ensure that the plant operating staff recognizes initiating conditions, takes appropriate action, and comes to a state of readiness to respond in the event that the condition becomes more significant. The Unusual Event classification or higher also requires that offsite authorities be promptly informed of the abnormal condition by use of the Radiological Emergency Communications System (RECS) and the New York State Radiological Emergency Data Form, Part I, found in procedure EP-CE-114-100. No response by offsite authorities is necessary for non-hostile action events within this classification.

When giving notice to State and county officials, the Company will make sure that they clearly understand the Unusual Event classification and that, if conditions change, there will be further notification.

3.3 Alert

This Emergency Classification is characterized by events which indicate an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of plant safety or a security threat that involves probable life-threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of hostile action. This classification requires response by the plant ERO and augmentation of onsite emergency resources. It constitutes the lowest level where emergency offsite response for non-hostile action events may be anticipated.

All Ginna emergency facilities will be staffed at an Alert or higher.

Prompt notification of an event within this classification will be made to the NRC, State of New York and Monroe and Wayne Counties. While the initial assessment would not require immediate response, potential releases of radioactivity make it advisable to alert offsite organizations. Periodic status updates will be made to keep authorities aware of the situation.

3.4 Site Area Emergency:

A Site Area Emergency is characterized by events involving actual or probable major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or hostile action that results in intentional damage or malicious acts: (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of equipment needed for the protection of the public; or (2) that prevent effectives access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Most events within this classification constitute actual or clear potential for significant releases of radioactive material to the environment. For a Site Area Emergency, all emergency response facilities are activated. Although emergency actions involving members of the October 2019 GN 3-2 EP-AA-1012 (Revision x)

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear Time Estimates contained in EP-AA-1012, Addendum 2. A summary of evacuation time estimates for various conditions is provided in EP-AA-1012, Addendum 2.

All surveys will be retained by the EOF Radiation Protection Manager. Formal reports shall be written and distributed as required by 10CFR20 and the Ginna Technical Specifications. Information concerning the offsite consequences of the incident and protective actions to protect the public will be coordinated in accordance with the New York State Radiological Emergency Plan and County Emergency Plans. A Company spokesperson in the JIC will release the informa-tion concerning the plant, plant safeguards and its employees, and assistance being provided to State and local authorities.

Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMG) entry conditions are defined in the Station Emergency Operating Procedures.

4.5.2 Offsite Authorities Actions:

All actions of paragraph 4.9.6 for Site Area Emergency will be reviewed and enacted for a General Emergency. All emergency personnel will have been activated and all response centers are operating. Information is evaluated and forwarded to the proper authorities and the public. Protective actions will be instituted as needed for the public and milk animals.

4.6 Activation of Emergency Response Organization:

Emergency procedures necessary to cope with the plant system malfunction will be implemented. All on-duty operations personnel will report to the Control Room. Control Room ventilation dampers will be switched from outside to inside air and the charcoal filters will be put into service.

Plant Security:

During a plant evacuation, the plant security officers assist in the activation of the plan as follows:

  • The Security Shift Supervisor will deploy resources to restrict access to the owner controlled area during an Alert or higher. They will inform the TSC Security Coordinator or Corporate Emergency Director of any security issues.
  • At least one security officer will remain in the Access Control Facility to instruct all evacuating personnel leaving the plant to proceed to the Training Center or alternate assembly area until released.

The security officers at the plant entrance will stop all personnel and their vehicles from entering the site and direct them to the Training Center or alternate assembly area until the TSC Security Coordinator or his designee notifies them that the condition has been corrected.

Radiation Protection:

The EOF Radiation Protection Manager shall assist the Corporate Emergency Director in evaluating the emergency. The TSC Radiation Protection Manager will report directly to the Technical Support Center. Other Radiation Protection section personnel will:

October 2019 GN 4-7 EP-AA-1012 (Revision x)

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear a) Report to the Operations Support Center and assume responsibilities as stated in the implementing procedures.

  • Radiation Protection personnel shall ensure that dosimeter readings of evacuated personnel who were in radiologically controlled areas of the plant are recorded.
  • During off-duty hours, RP technicians shall report to their emergency response locations as stated in the implementing procedures. An on-shift RP Technician shall report to the Control Room and provide radiological assessment support as deemed necessary by the Shift Manager.

Off-Duty Personnel:

Off-duty personnel, upon notification, shall report to their emergency response locations, unless directed to their Alternate Facility.

4.7 Immediate Assessment:

The Shift Emergency Director (Shift Manager) shall immediately assess the incident. The Shift Emergency Director is responsible for the implementation of the Emergency Plan until command and control is transferred. The Shift Emergency Director will evaluate plant conditions by checking control and safeguards systems, plant data and radiation monitors. The Shift Emergency Director shall ensure all offsite agencies are notified in accordance with EP-CE-114-100and that the following information is given:

a) Name of facility and communicator b) Date/time of incident c) Class of Emergency (Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, General Emergency) d) Brief Description of Event e) Radioactive Material Release (None, Atmospheric, Ground, Lake) f) Protective Actions Recommended for appropriate population g) Temperatures and wind speed and direction The Wayne County Emergency Management Office and the Monroe County Office of Emergency Management will be notified at the same time through the use of the New York State Radiological Emergency Communications System (RECS). An Emergency Communicator is part of each shift and will maintain contact with New York State and the counties during an emergency. As the RECS line is a closed system, call-back verification by the State and counties is not necessary. The Communicators will also maintain communications with the NRC via the Emergency Notification System (ENS).

If necessary, the Shift Emergency Director shall issue radiation protection equipment and dispatch an RP Technician team to conduct in-plant or area surveys.

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.8 Subsequent Actions:

To ensure that immediate and direct action is taken in an emergency situation, the Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center and the assembly area in the Training Center or Warehouse will be staffed. Details for staffing are in the implementing procedures. During normal working hours, individuals assigned to the Technical Support Center and the Operations Support Center will go there directly.

During off-duty hours, upon notification of an emergency through the call out procedure, personnel may report to the TSC and OSC using normal procedures unless directed to their Alternative Facility.

The Station Emergency Director shall assume responsibility for the activation of onsite Emergency Centers and establish contact with the Control Room. The Station Emergency Director will request from the on-duty Shift Manager an evaluation of plant conditions and all data which has been relayed to the state in preparation for assuming command and control.

The EOF Radiation Protection Manager will dispatch offsite monitoring teams to areas of concern and request each team to report by telephone or radio.

The Corporate Emergency Director will report conditions to company management.

The Corporate Emergency Director will evaluate radiological data and plant parameters. Current conditions and follow-up actions will be reported to management periodically. The New York State officials and Monroe County and Wayne County Directors of Emergency Management will be kept advised of changing conditions.

Follow-up messages to offsite authorities will contain the following information as appropriate:

a) Location, name of caller b) Class of emergency and date and time of incident c) Type of actual or projected release, estimated duration and impact time d) Estimated quantity of release for various materials e) Chemical and physical form of release material (noble gases, iodine, particulate) f) Current weather conditions g) Actual or projected dose rate and time integrated dose at site boundary h) Projected dose rate and integrated doses in affected sectors i) Estimation of any surface radioactive contamination j) Recommended emergency response actions or protective measures k) Prognosis for course of the event l) Status of in-plant emergency actions, and licensee response October 2019 GN 4-9 EP-AA-1012 (Revision x)

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear is the responsibility of the TSC Radiation Protection Manager or the EOF Radiation Protection Manager. Approval of the Shift Emergency Director or Station Emergency Director is required.

Radio-protective drugs will be issued for the general public only if approved by the New York State Department of Health.

4.9.4 Search and Rescue:

Following site evacuation, all personnel will be accounted for using security records, sign-in sheets, log sheets, etc. If individuals are not accounted for, the Station Emergency Director will initiate search and rescue operations to locate unaccounted for individuals.

The search and rescue team will consist of at least two persons including a Radiation Protection technician.

The search should start at the last known location or work assignment of the unaccounted-for individual. Radiation surveys should be made as the team progresses. It may be necessary to administer first aid to the individual after he or she is located. The Corporate Emergency Director Station Emergency Director. or Control Room shall be advised of the situation.

4.9.5 Decontamination

A Radiation Protection procedure provides guidance for graduated measures to be used for decontamination. The objective of decontamination is to prevent the spread of radioactive material on the individual, to the environment or to other personnel and to reduce the resultant dose. Decontamination is essentially the removal of radioactive material and is performed starting with the highest level of contamination using the simplest procedures. Continued decontamination may show diminishing effectiveness and require a decision to stop or use more potent agents.

Decontamination kits, which contain items to decontaminate the skin and for wound cleansing, are available. Decontamination should continue until it is no longer effective but not so as to abrade skin. This procedure should be effective against iodine and other contaminants.

If personnel cannot be decontaminated to the limits of Procedure RP-AA-350, Personnel Contamination Monitoring, Decontamination and Reporting, Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site (REAC/TS) may be contacted.

Instruments are available to determine contamination levels of personnel or equipment and the effectiveness of decontamination. Waste drums are available as containers for radioactive waste and emergency clothing is available, if needed.

4.9.6 Offsite Authorities Actions:

Offsite authorities will provide assistance as needed to protect the public. In the event a Site Area Emergency is declared, this may include activating the public notification system and providing information and periodic updates of the situation through the EAS (Emergency Alert System) and/or press briefings.

October 2019 GN 4-12 EP-AA-1012 (Revision x)

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.11 Public Relations:

Public information will be released by a Company spokesperson operating from the Joint Information Center. Public information personnel will be assisted by a JIC Director who keeps in contact with the Corporate Emergency Director and EOF operations. Company personnel will exchange information with government Public Information officers on a timely basis. All news releases will be coordinated among Federal, State, County and Company sources.

The Company communications department will be notified of any activation of this plan beginning at the Unusual Event classification level. Initial notification at the Unusual Event will be from the Control Room using an automated notification system. Instructions for notifying public information personnel at higher classifications are contained in EP-CE-114-100, Emergency Notifications.

The Joint Information Center will be activated during a nuclear emergency at an Alert or more severe event. The Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures provide for staffing this Center and outline the duties of various positions.

Individuals who are qualified to assume these positions are designated. Space is allocated in the Joint Information Center for use by various regulatory and government officials to coordinate and facilitate the flow of accurate information to the public. A Company spokesperson who has access to the EOF will be available to the news media for briefing and questions.

Information concerning plant employees is available through the Public Inquiry function located in the Joint Information Center.

Information concerning the status of the plant, employees and Protective Action Decisions is released by the public information officers representing the Company and Federal, State and local governments.

A public information program to acquaint the public with the proper actions to be taken in the event of a nuclear emergency at Ginna Station will be implemented on an annual basis. This program will provide information about radiation, protective actions which can be taken, suggested evacuation routes, assistance for those with special needs, proper responses to warning signals, and where additional information can be obtained. The program will be coordinated between Company, State and county officials, and consists of items such as printed calendars, brochures and, for Wayne County only, telephone directory instructions.

Material for placement in parks, motels and retail establishments to which transients have access will be provided on an annual basis.

An annual briefing and training session will be held to acquaint the news media with the Ginna Nuclear Emergency Response Plan and related government agency emergency plans. Information on plant operation, radiation effects and concerns, the implementation of our Emergency Plan, points of contact for the release of public information at the Company and other relevant topics will be kept current through these sessions.

October 2019 GN 4-16 EP-AA-1012 (Revision x)

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear If no release data is available, a method for assessment of release rates is used in conjunction with the X/Q values and offsite concentrations. The release rate of radioactive material from the plant can be calculated from the measured airborne concentration at a given downwind sample location and the X/Q value for that location. Field Team survey results can be used to back calculate doses at the site boundary and offsite.

The Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents (EPA 400-R-92-001), NUREG-0133, Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants (October 1978) and Regulatory Guide 1.109 Rev. 1, Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluation Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I (October 1977) provide the methodology for relating radiological measurements in various environmental media or effluent monitor readings to offsite dose or dose rates. Meteorological conditions can be factored into these calculations.

A computer program operating on a personal computer is available in the Control Room, and EOF. This system provides multiple methods of calculating downwind dose rates and airborne contamination levels.

The sophisticated computer program, which uses the methods for environmental dose calculations required by Federal regulations, is also available to assess doses during and after an emergency. Additional information on the radiological consequences of a variety of accidents can be found in Chapter 15 of the Ginna Updated Final Safety Analysis Report.

External dose or dose rates from surface contamination or airborne radioactivity are determined by direct field measurements (dosimeter or survey meter).

Internal dose commitments from key isotopes via water or airborne pathways would be evaluated using the uptake rates, dose conversion factors, and other pathway parameters given in EPA 400, NUREG-0133 and Regulatory Guide 1.109. Computer software is available that uses these dose calculation models to determine the radiological dose assessment. In this manner, rapid determination of dose estimates from multiple pathways may be made for comparison with protective action guides.

October 2019 GN 5-10 EP-AA-1012 (Revision x)

Ginna Annex Exelon Nuclear A 1000-gallon holding tank is available to contain decontamination water from a sink and shower located at the Training Center. Decontamination water will be sampled prior to transfer, treatment or disposal.

5.4.6 Protective Equipment and Supplies:

Personnel entering the Controlled Area may be required to wear protective clothing. The nature of the work to be done governs the selection of protective clothing to be worn by individuals. The protective apparel available is shoe covers, head covers, gloves and coveralls. Additional items of specialized apparel such as plastic suits, face shields, and respirators are available for operations involving high levels of contamination. In all cases, Radiation Protection personnel shall evaluate the radiological conditions and specify the required items of protective clothing to be worn.

Respiratory protective devices are required wherever an airborne radiation area exists or is expected. In such cases, Radiation Protection personnel monitor the airborne concentrations and specify the necessary protective devices according to concentration and type of airborne contaminants present.

Available respiratory devices include full face air purifying respirators (filter type both negative and pressured powered air purifying units). Air-line supplied respirators of pressure demand type are used as well as constant flow hoods.

Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus devices, using full face masks and pressure demand regulators, are also available.

Site specific ERO Respirator qualification requirements contained in the ERO Training and Qualification procedure take precedence over requirements contained in the Exelon Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan for Ginna Station.

For use in an emergency, equipment and supplies are located in the Control Room, Technical Support Center, and the Training Center. Equipment categories are given in 5.1.8.

5.4.7 Emergency Vehicles:

In the event it becomes necessary to make use of automotive equipment, a number of vehicles will be available. These include a variety of company-owned vehicles assigned to the Station. Lastly, a large and diverse fleet of vehicles is available from the Company vehicle fleet.

5.5 First Aid and Medical Facilities:

First aid and medical provisions include both onsite and offsite facilities. The latter are described in Section 2.3, Augmentation of the Emergency Organization.

A dispensary onsite contains sinks, a bed, a stretcher, and miscellaneous first aid equipment and supplies. Decontamination supplies can be obtained from the Radiation Protection group. Personnel decontamination supplies and bioassay collection kits are available at Rochester General Hospital and Newark-Wayne Community Hospital.

Auxiliary Operators are trained in first aid procedures using Red Cross Multi-Media or an equivalent program. An administrative procedure establishes a First Aid Team and the actions to be followed in the event of illness or injury at Ginna Station.

License Amendment Request ENCLOSURE 1 - ATTACHMENT 1C Assessment of R.E. Ginna ERO Minimum Staff and Full-Augmented Staff Positions Removed

License Amendment Request Page 1 of 19 Proposed Changes to Emergency Plan C 1.0

SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION This enclosure provides a summary Table of the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) positions that are being removed from the Emergency Plan along with an assessment of their respective Emergency Plan tasks as defined in the Emergency Plan. The duties of the ERO positions being relocated to Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs) were reviewed against the NUREG-0654 guidance (both Revision 1 and draft Revision 2), and the station Emergency Plan. Each relocated ERO position was analyzed to ensure key tasks of the position are retained within the Emergency Plan and performed by Minimum Staff ERO members. The tasks were also evaluated against the NUREG-0654 guidance to ensure regulatory requirements were maintained.

The Table provides a description of each Full-Augmentation position as well as the responsibilities assigned under the station Emergency Plan. Each responsibility is assessed against the key Emergency Plan functions to ensure the Emergency Plan can still be implemented with the relocation of the responsibility to an EPIP. In some cases, a responsibility is identified as needed to support an Emergency Plan Function and subsequently reassigned to a Minimum Staff position.

The Full-Augmented Staff will continue to be available and respond to emergency conditions.

The Full-Augmented Staff continue to be notified to respond to their respective Emergency Response Facilities (ERFs) at an Alert or higher Emergency Classification Level (ECL). They will be notified at the same time as the Minimum Staff personnel; however, the Full-Augmentation ERO response is not required to activate the ERF. Additionally, some ERO Full-Augmentation positions are designated as "as needed." These positions are trained and qualified to perform their Emergency Plan function; however, the position will be notified to report to their ERF only if conditions warrant, as determined by the Emergency Director or designee.

The Table is arranged in columns as described below:

Facility: This column identifies the affected Emergency Response Facility TSC - Tech Support Center OSC - Operations Support Center EOF - Emergency Operations Facility JIC - Joint Information Center Current ERO Position: This column identifies the ERO position title. Each ERO position is also identified with a unique abbreviation for reference throughout the table. For example, MDCC is for Main Control Room Damage Control Communicator.

Current E-Plan Minimum Staff: This column identifies those positions that are currently considered Minimum Staff in the current approved Emergency Plan, but are being reassigned as Full-Augmentation (i.e., Yes/No).

License Amendment Request Page 2 of 19 Proposed Changes to Emergency Plan C Tasks Defined by Station Emergency Plan: This column identifies the specific position tasks identified in the Emergency Plan and EP Implementing Procedures.

Each task is identified with a unique task ID number for quick reference throughout the table.

Task Disposition (Eliminated/Reassigned To): This column identifies the disposition of those tasks assigned to a ERO position under this License Amendment Request. Each ERO task was evaluated and dispositioned as either Relocated to an EPIP or Reassigned to a Minimum Staff Position. Tasks that are reassigned designate the ERO member receiving the task.

Justification / Implementing Action: This column provides a conclusion as to why this change is acceptable. In some cases, for tasks not being reassigned, this column provides an action needed when the change is implemented.
