1. ACCIDENT DETECTION AND ASSESSMENT Demonstrate the capability to recognize station conditions and parameter trends as emergency plan initiating conditions, and to develop solutions for placing the station in a safe, stable i condition.

j EXTENT OF PI,AY The Shift Nianager will assess on-site observations and plant conditions to determine if and when an emergency classification level has been met.

Operations will enter into the appropriate Emergency Operating Procedure as applicable.

. hianipulation of station equipment will be simulated.

Personnel will review plant parameters provided by the KAN1AN, Simulator Plant Process Computer, and OFIS computer system and integrate with verbal communications from the Control Room, TSC/OSC, and EOF to determine plant operational configuration.

Director, Technical Support (ADTS) will demonstrate emergency classification.

Once the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) is activated, the Director of Station Emergency Operations (DSEO) will review the emergency classification and determine if dose assessment results or field monitoring team radiological surveys exceed the classification parameters. If parameters are exceeded, the DSEO will recommend classification upgrade to the ADTS, e Station personnel continually refer to classification procedure as plant conditions change.

. Plant conditions observed by SERO personnel, that match emergency action levels, are classified l within approximately 15 minutes. l

. Use of EPIP 4400, Event Assessment, Classification and Reportability. l

. Use of EPOP 4411, Director of Station Emergency Operations.
