Enclosure to NG 18-0121 RAI-DAEC-1 The proposed value for the Potential Loss of Fuel Clad Barrier threshold is based on the guidance provided by NEI 99-01, Revision 6, and is not based on site-specific conditions. Section 3.3, "NSSS Design Differences," of NEI 99-01, Revision 6, provides that, "Developers will need to consider the relevant aspects of their plant's design and operating characteristics when converting the generic guidance of this document into a site-specific classification scheme." Please verify that the Loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier threshold value for the Drywell and Torus radiation monitors, based on a loss of the reactor coolant system resulting in approximately 2% to 5% clad damage, considers the site- specific aspects of the DAEC design and operating characteristics. If the fuel clad barrier threshold value is not based on DAEC site-specific values, revise the proposed fuel clad barrier threshold value to align with site-specific values. DAEC Response After further clarifying discussion with the NRC staff during an October 3, 2018 telephone call, NextEra Energy Duane Arnold acknowledges that the previously proposed calculated values were based solely on a reactor coolant system activity of 300 uci/ gm Dose Equivalent Iodine (DEI) as provided by the applicable Developer Notes of NEI 99-01, Revision 6; and as such did not accurately reflect a site-specific range of fuel clad damage of approximately 2% -5%. NRC staff have clarified that the intent of this EAL is for the threshold value to provide a radiation monitor threshold value indicative of fuel clad damage of approximately 2% -5%. In the attachments to this letter, N extEra Energy Duane Arnold provides revised threshold values for the Drywell and Torus radiation monitors indicative of Loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier that are based on approximately 5% clad damage. NextEra Energy Duane Arnold intends to formally revise validation document V-23 (engineering calculation NEE-323-CALC-001) contained in Attachment 4 to reflect this new understanding of the intent of the EAL threshold prior to implementation of the revised EALs. The table on the following page provides the updated 5% clad release threshold values based on a scaling of the

  • present 100% and 20% clad damage values provided in the current calculation.

NEI 99 Q1 (Revisioe e) November 2912 DE'/ElOMENT OF DUANE ARNOLD EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS FOR NON PA&&l'.'E REACTORS TECHNICAL BASIS DOCUMENT 1 BASIS FOR EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELSREGULATORY BACKGROUND 1.1 OPERATING REACTORS Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Energy, contains the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations that apply to nuclear power facilities. Several of these regulations govern various aspects of an emergency classification scheme. A review of the relevant sections listed below will aid the reader in understanding the key terminology provided in Section 3.0 of this document.

  • 10 CFR § 50.47(a)(l)(i)
  • 10 CFR § 50.47(b)(4)
  • 10 CFR § 50.54(q)
  • 10 CFR § 50.72(a)
  • 10 CFR § 50, Appendix E, IV.B, Assessment Actions
  • 10 CFR § 50, Appendix E, IV.C, Activation of Emergency Organization The above regulations are supplemented by various regulatory guidance documents.

Three documents of particular relevance to NEI 99-01 are: NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support ofNuclear Power Plants, October 1980. [Refer to Appendix 1, Emergency Action Level Guidelines for Nuclear Power Plants] NUREG-1022, Event Reporting Guidelines 10 CFR § 50.72 and§ 50.73 Regulatory Guide 1.101, Emergency Response Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors 1

NEI 99 QI (Revisioa 6) November 2Ql2 The above list is not aU i-ncmsP.'e and it is strongly recommended that scheme de*,relopers consult with licensing/regulatory compliance personnel to identify and understand all applicable requirements and guidance. Questions may also be directed to the NEI Emergency Preparedness staff. 1.2 PEru.iMtENTLY DEFUELEB STATION J\IBI 99 0 I provides guidance for an emergency classification scheme applicable to a pennanently defueled station. This is a station that generated spent fuel under a IO CFR

            § 50 license, has pennanently ceased operations and will store the spent fuel onsite for an mcteaded period of time. The emergency classification levels applicable to this type of station are consistent .vith the requirements of IO CFR § 50 and the guidance in NUREG 1

0654/FEMA. REP I. In order to relffi, the e:ipergeacy plan requiremeB.ts applicable to an operatH'l:g station, the 0 1:mer ofa permaneB.tly defueled station must demonstrate that no credible e11ent can result HI: a significaB.t radiological release beyond the site boundary. It is m.pected that this verification 1vvill confirm that the source term and motive force available in the pennaneB.tly defueled condition are insufficieB.t to v;arrant classifications of a Site Area Emergency or General Etnergeacy. Therefore, the geaeric InitiatH1:g Conditions (ICs) and Emergency Action Levels (Ef..Ls) applicable to a permanently defueled station may result HI: either a Notification of Unusual Event (J\tOUE) or an Alert classification. The generic ICs and Ei"..Ls are preseB.ted in Appendi1c C, P-en-11aHe¥1;lfy Defi1e.led &alien

            !Cs/EALs.
 +.:-3-l.1_1NDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI) .

Selt:cted guidance in NEI 99-01 is applicable to licensees electing to use their 10 CFR 50 emergency plan to fulfill the requirements of 10 CFR 72.32 for a stand-alone ISFSI. The emergency classification levels applicable to an ISFSI are consistent with the requirements of 10 CFRf-50 and the guidance in NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-1. The initiating conditions germane to a 10 CFR--§- 72.32 emergency plan (as described in NUREG-1567) are subsumed within the classification scheme for a 10 CFRf-50.47 emergency plan. The generic ICs and EALs for an ISFSI are presented in Section 8, ISFSI ICs/EALs. IC E-HUl covers the spectrum of credible natural and man-made events included within the scope of an ISFSI design. This IC is not applicable to installations or facilities that may process and/or repackage spent fuel (e.g., a Monitored Retrievable Storage Facility or an ISFSI at a spent fuel processing facility). In addition, appropriate aspects ofIC HUI and IC HAI should also be included to address a HOSTILE ACTION directed against an ISFSI. The analysis of potential onsite and offsite consequences of accidental releases associated with the operation ofan ISFSI is contained in NUREG-1140, A Regulatory Analysis on Emergency Preparedness for Fuel Cycle and Other Radioactive Material Licensees. NUREG-1140 concluded that the postulated worst-case accident involving an ISFSI has insignificant consequences to public health and safety. This evaluation shows that the 2

NEI 99 01 (R-evisieH a) Nevemeer 2012 maximum offsite dose to a member of the public due to an accidental release of radioactive materials would not exceed I rem Effective Dose Equivalent. Regarding the above information, the expectations for an offsite response to an Alert classified under a IO CFR f-72.32 emergency plan are generally consistent with those for a Notification of Unusual Event in a 10 CFR f-50.47 emergency plan (e.g., to provide assistance ifrequested). Also, the licensee's Emergency Response Organization (ERO) required for 10 CFR f-72.32 emergency plan is different than that prescribed for a 10 CFR f-50.47 emergency plan (e.g., no emergency technical support function)~ 3

NEI 99 01 (Revisioa 6) Novemeer 2012 +:4.Ll.._NRC ORDER EA-12-051 The Fukushima Daiichi accident of March 11, 2012, was the result of a tsunami that exceeded the plant's design basis and flooded the site's emergency electrical power supplies and distribution systems. This caused an extended loss of power that severely compromised the key safety functions of core cooling and containment integrity, and ultimately led to core damage in three reactors. While the loss of power also* impaired the spent fuel pool cooling function, sufficient water inventory was maintained in the pools to preclude fuel damage from the loss of cooling. Following a review of the Fukushima Daiichi accident, the NRC concluded that several measures were necessary to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety under the provisions of the backfitrule, 10 CFR 50.109(a)(4)(ii). Among them was to provide each spent fuel pool with reliable level instrumentation to significantly enhance the ability of key decision-makers to allocate resources effectively following a beyond design basis event. To this end, the NRC issued Order EA-12-051, Issuance of Order to Modify Licenses with Regard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation, on March 12, 2012, to all US nuclear plants with an operating license, construction permit, or combined construction and operating license. NRC Order EA-12-051 states, in part, "All licensees ... shall have a reliable indication of the water level in associated spent fuel storage pools capable of supporting identification of the following pool water level conditions by trained personnel: (I) level that is adequate to support operation of the normal fuel pool cooling system, (2) level that is adequate to provide substantial radiation, shielding for a person standing on the spent fuel pool operating deck, and (3) level where fuel remains covered and actions to implement make-up water addition should no longer be deferred." To this end, all licensees must provide:

  • A primary and back-up level instrument that will monitor water level from the normal level to the top of the used fuel rack in the pool;
  • A display in an area accessible following a severe event; and
  • Independent electrical power to each instrument channel and provide an alternate remote power connection capability.

NEI 12-02, Industry Guidance for Compliance with NRC Order EA-12-051, "To Modify Licenses with Regard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation, " provides guidance for complying with NRC Order EA-12-051. NEI 99-01, Revision 6, includes three EALs that reflect the availability of the enhanced spent fuel pool level instrumentation associated with NRC Order EA-12-051. These EALs are included within 01..isting IC2 ~RA2, aHd Hev,r ICs AS2 RS2, and ~RG2. Associated E,'\L Botos, bases aHd developer Botos are also provided. It is recommended that these EALs be implemeHted vA1eH the enhaHced spent fuel pool level instrumeHtatioH is available for use. 4

Purpose:

The purpose of this classification is to assure that the first step in future response has been carried out, to bring the operations staff to a state of readiness, and to provide systematic handling of unusual event information and decision-making. 2.1.2 Alert Events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA PAG exposure levels.

Purpose:

The purpose of this classification is to assure that emergency personnel are readily available to respond if the situation becomes more serious or to perform confirmatory radiation monitoring if required, and provide offsite authorities current information on plant status and parameters. 2.1.3 Site Area Emergency Events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentional damage or malicious acts; I) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; 2) that prevent effective access to, equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA P AG exposure levels beyond the site boundary. Purpose': The purpose of the Site Area Emergency declaration is'to* assure that emergency response centers are staffed, to assure that monitoring teams are dispatched, to assure that personnel required for evacuation of near-site areas are at duty stations if the situation becomes more serious, to provide consultation with offsite authorities, and to provide updates to the public through government authorities. 2.1.4 General Emergency (GE) Events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or IMMINENT substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA PAG exposure levels* offsite for more than the immediate site area.

Purpose:

The purpose of the General Emergency declaration is to initiate predetermined protective actions for the public, to provide continuous assessment of information from the licensee and offsite organizational measurements, to initiate additional measures as indicated by actual or potential releases, to provide consultation with offsite authorities, and to provide updates for the public through government authorities. 7

NEI 99 QI (Revisien 6) Ne:vember 2Ql2 2.2 INITIATING CONDITION (IC) An event or condition that aligns with the definition of one of the four emergency classification levels by virtue of the potential or actual effects or consequences. Discussion: An IC describes an event or condition, the severity or consequences of which meets the definition of an emergency classification level. An IC can be expressed as a continuous, measurable parameter (e.g., RCS leakage), an event (e.g., an earthquake) or the status of one or more fission product barriers (e.g., loss of the RCS barrier). Appendix 1 of NUREG-0654 does not contain example Emergency Action Levels_ (EALs) for each ECL, but rather Initiating Conditions (i.e., plant conditions that indicate that a radiological emergency, or events that could lead to a radiological emergency, has occurred). NUREG-0654 states that the Initiating Conditions form the basis for establishment by a licensee of the specific plant instrumentation readings (as applicable) which, if exceeded, would initiate the emergency classification. Thus, it is the specific instrument readings that would be the EALs. Considerations fur the assignment of a particular Initiating Condition to an emergency classification le*;el are discassed in geetion 3. 2.3 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL {EAL) A pre-determined, site-specific, observable threshold for an Initiating Condition that, when met or exceeded, places the plant in a given emergency classification level. Discussion: EAL statements may utilize a variety of criteria including instrument

  • readings and status indications; observable events; results of calculations and analyses; entry into particular procedures; and the occurrence of natural phenomena.

2.4 FISSION PRODUCT BARRIER THRESHOLD A pre-determined, site-specific, observable threshold indicating the loss or potential loss of a fission product barrier. Discussion: Fission product barrier thresholds represent threats to the defense in depth design concept that precludes the release of radioactive fission products to the environment. This concept relies on multiple physical barriers, any one of which, if maintained intact, precludes the release of significant amounts of radioactive fission products to the environment. The primary fission product barriers are: Fuel Clad Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Containment

   ---Upon determination that one or more fission product barrier thresholds have been exceeded, the combination of barrier loss and/or potential loss thresholds is compared to the fission product barrier IC/EAL criteria to determine the appropriate ECL.

In some accident sequences, the ICs and EALs presented in the Abnormal Radiation Levels/ Radiological Effluent (AR) Recognition Category will be exceeded at the same 8

NEI 99 01 (Re¥isisa e) Nsvem.ber 2012 time, or shortly after, the loss of one or more fission product barriers. This redundancy is intentional as the former ICs address radioactivity releases that result in certain offsite doses from whatever cause, including events that might not be fully encompassed by fission product barriers (e.g., spent fuel pool accidents, design containment leakage following a LOCA, etc.). 9

NEI 99 QI (Ro=visioa 6) November 2Ql2 3 DESIGN OF THE Nlil 99 01 DAEC EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SCHEME 3 .1 ASSIGNMENT OF EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVELS (ECLs) An effective emergency classification scheme must incorporate a realistic and accurate assessment of risk, both to plant workers and the public. There are obvious health and safety risks in underestimating the potential or actual threat from an event or condition; however, there are also risks in overestimating the threat as well (e.g., harm that may occur during an evacuation). The NEI 99 OlDAEC emergency classification scheme attempts to strike an appropriate balance between reasonably anticipated event or condition consequences, potential accident trajectories, and risk avoidance or minimization. There are a range of "non-emergency events" reported to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR ,§--50.72. Guidance concerning these reporting requirements, and example events, are provided in NUREG-1022. Certain events reportable under the provisions of 10 CFR ,§--50.72 may also require the declaration of an emergency.

  • In order to align each Initiating Conditions (IC) with the appropriate ECL, it was necessary to determine the attributes of each ECL. The goal of this process is to answer the question, "What events or conditions should be placed under each ECL?" The following sources provided information and context for the development of ECL attributes.

NEI 99 QI (Revisioa 6) November 2Ql2 Risk-Informed Insights Emergency preparedness is a defense-in-depth measure that is independent of the assessed risk from any particular accident sequence; however, the development of an effective emergency classification scheme can benefit from a review of risk-based assessment results. To that end, the development and assignment of certain ICs and EALs also considered insights from several site-specific probabilistic safety assessments (P8A also knovm as probabilistic risk assessment, PRA). Some generic insights from this review included:

1. Accident sequences involving a prolonged loss of all AC power are significant contributors to core damage frequency at many Pressurized Water Reactors (PVlRs) aE:El-Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs). For this reason, a loss of all AC power for greater than 15 minutes, with the plant at or above Hot Shutdown, was assigned an ECL of Site Area Emergency, Precursor events to a loss of all AC power were also included as an Unusual Event and an Alert.

A station blackout coping analyses performed in response to 10 CFR ,§--50.63 and Regulatory Guide 1.155, Station Blackout, may be used to determine a time-based criterion to demarcate between a Site Area Emergency and a General Emergency. The time dimension is critical to a properly anticipatory emergency declaration since the goal is to maximize the time available for State and local officials to develop and implement offsite protective actions.

2. For severe core damage events, uncertainties exist in phenomena important to accid~nt progressions leading to containment failure. _Because of.these uncertainties, predicting the status of containment integrity may be difficult under severe accident conditions. _This is why maintaining containment integrity alone following sequences leading to severe core damage is an insufficient basis for not escalating to a General Emergency.
3. PSAs indicated that leading contributors to latent fatalities were sequences involving a containment bypass, a large Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) with early containment failure, a Station Blackout lasting longer than the site speeifieDAEC coping period, and a reactor coolant pump seal failure. The generic EAL methodology needs to be sufficiently rigorous to address these sequences in a timely fashion.

NEI 99 01 (R-evisieH e) NeY@mber 2012 3.2 TYPES OF INITIATING CONDITIONS AND EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS The NEI 99-01 methodology makes use of symptom-based, barrier-based and event-based ICs and EALs. Each type is discussed below. Symptom-based ICs and EALs are parameters or conditions that are measurable over some range using plant instrumentation (e.g., core temperature, reactor coolant level, radiological effluent, etc.). When one or more of these parameters or conditions are off-normal, reactor operators will implement procedures to identify the probable cause(s) and take corrective action. Fission product barrier-based ICs and EALs are the subset of symptom-based EALs that refer specifically to the level of challenge to the principal barriers against the release of radioactive material from the reactor core to the environment. These barriers are the fuel cladding, the reactor coolant system pressure boundary, and the containment. The barrier.:-based ICs and EALs consider the level of challenge to each individual barrier - potentially lost and lost - and the total number of barriers under challenge. Event-based ICs and EALs define a variety of specific occurrences that have potential or actual safety significance. These include the failure of an automatic reactor scra~ to shut down the reactor, natural phenomena (e.g., an earthquake), or man-made hazards such as a toxic gas release. 17

  ~3.4 IC AND EAL MODE APPLICABILITY The NEI 99 01 DAEC emergency classification scheme was developed recognizing that the applicability of ICs and EALs will vary with plant mode. For example, some symptom-based ICs and EALs can be assessed only during the power operations, startup, or hot standby/shutdown modes of operation when all fission product barriers are in place, and plant instrumentation and safety systemsSAFETY SYSTEMS are fully operational. In the cold shutdown and refueling modes, different symptom-based ICs and I       EALs will come into play to reflect the opening of systems for routine maintenance, the 1.

unavailability of some safety systemSAFETY SYSTEM components and the use of alternate instrumentation. The following table shows which Recognition Categories are applicable in each plant mode.

Conceptually, the approach discussed here mirrors the approach used to prepare emergency operating proceCRH"es generic material prepared by reactor vendor mvners groups is converted by each nuclear power plant into site specific emergency operating procedures. Likc,.vise, the emergency classification scheme developer will use the generic guidance in NEI 99 0 I to prepare a site specific emergency classification scheme and the associated basis docllfl'lent. It is important that the NEI 99 01 emergency classification scheme be implemented as an integrated package. Selected use of portions of this guidance is strongly discouraged as it will lead to an inconsistent or incomplete emergency classification scheme that will likely not receive the Hecessary regulatory approYal. 4.1 GENERAL IMPLEMENTATION CUIDANCEDEVELOPMENT PROCESS The guidance in NEI 99 01 is not intended to be applied to plants "as is"; how0'1er, developers should attempt to keep their site specific schemes as close to the generic guidance as possible. The goal is to meet the iB.teB.t of the geReric !B.itiating Conditions (ICs) and Emergency Action Levels (EA.Ls) within the conteJlt of site specific cliaracteristics locale, plant design, operating features, tenninology, etc. Meeting this goal vtill result in a sho1ter and less cumbersome NRt review and approval process, closer alignm.ent 1.vith. the schemes of other nuclear pmver plant sites and better positioning to adopt future industry wide scheme enhancements. V/hen properly developed, the The DAEC ICs and EALs should were developed to be unambiguous and readily assessable. As discussed in Seetion 3, the generic guidance inch:1des ICs and example EALs. It is the intent of this guidance th.at QQfil be included in site specific documents as each serves a specific purpose. The IC is the fundamental event or condition requiring a declaration. _The EAL(s) is the pre-determined threshold that defines when the IC is met. If some feature of the plant location or design is e:ot compatible with a generic IC or EAL, efforts should be made to identify an alternate IC or Ei\L. If an IC or EAL includes an explicit reference to a mode dependent technical specifieation limit that is not applicable to the plant, then th.at IC and/or Ef. .L need not be in.ch:l.ded in the site specific scheme. lB. these cases, devel0f)ers mU:St provide adeE}'aate documentation to justify v;hy the IC and/or EAL were not incorporated (i.e., sufficient detail to allov,r a third party to understand the decision not to ie:corporate the generic guidance). Useful acronyms and abbreviations associated with the }JEI 99 OlDAEC emergency classification scheme are presented in Appendix A, Acronyms and Abbreviations. -Site-specific entries may be added if necessary. 22

NEI 99 0 I (Rei:ision 6) November 2012 Many words or terms used in the NEI 99 OlDAEC emergency classification scheme have scheme-specific definitions. These words and terms are identified by being set in all capital letters (i.e., ALL CAPS). The definitions are presented in Appendix B, Definitions. Below are eRamples of aeceptable modifications to the generic gmdance. These may be incorporated depending upon site developer and user preferences. The ICs within a Recognition Category may be placed in reverse order for presentation purposes (e.g., start vlith a General Emergency at the left/top of a user aid, follov,red by Site Area Emergeacy, Alert and l'lOUE). The Initiating Condition BUill:bering may be changed. The first letter of a R-0cognition Category designation may be changed, as follows, provided the chaage is carried through. for all of the associated IC identifiers. e R may be used in lieu of A

  • M may be used in lieu of 8 For example, the Abnormal Radiation Levels / Radiological Effluent category desigaator "A" (for Abnonnal) may be changed to "R" (for Radiation). This means that the associated ICs 'vvould be changed to RUl, RU2, RAJ, etc.

The ICs and EA.Ls from Recognition Categories 8 and C may be incorporated into a common presentation method (e.g., one table) provided that all related notes and mode applicability requirements are maintained. The ICs an:d EALs for EmergeHey Director judgment and security related events may be placed under separate Recognition Categories.

  • The terms EAL and threshold may be used interchangeably.

The material in the Developer }fotes section: is included to assist developers with erafting correct IC and EAL statements. This material is not required to be in the final emergency classification scheme basis document. 4.2 CRITICAL CHARACTERISTICS As discussed above, developers are encouraged to keep their site specific schemes as dose to the generic guidan:ce as possible. When crafting the scheme, developers should satisfy themselvesDAEC ensured that certain critical characteristics have been met. These critical characteristics are listed below.

  • The ICs, EALs, Operating Mode Applicability criteria, Notes and Basis information are consistent with industry guidance; while the actual wording may be different, the classification intent is maintained. With respect to Recognition Category F, a-sfte--

specific scheme mustDAEC include.§.1! some type of user-aid to facilitate timely and accurate classification of fission product barrier losses and/or potential losses. The user-aid logic must beis consistent with the classification logic presented in Section 9. 23

  • The ICs, EALs, Operating Mode Applicability criteria, Notes and Basis information are technically complete and accurate (i.e., they contain the information necessary to make a correct classification).
  • EAL statements use objective criteria and observable values.
  • ICs, EALs, Operating Mode Applicability and Note statements and formatting consider human factors and are user-friendly.
  • The scheme facilitates upgrading and downgrading of the emergency classification where necessary.
  • The scheme facilitates classification of multiple concurrent events or conditions.

Instrumentation :esed fur Ei'\Ls need not be safety related, addressed by a Techaical Specificatioa or ODCM:/RETS coatrol requirement, nor powered Hom an emergency pmver so"Hrce; hov1ever, EAL developers sho:eld strive to DAEC incorporateg instrumentation that is reliable and routinely maintained in accordance with site programs and procedures. Alarms referenced in EAL statements should beare those that are the most operationally significant for the described event or condition. Scheme developers sho:eld enS"HFe that specified values :esed as EAL setpoints are within the calibrated range of the referenced instrumentation, and consider any automatic instrumentation functions that may impact accurate EAL assessment. In addition, EAL setpoint values should do not use terms such as "off-scale low" or "off-scale high" since that type ofreading may not be readily differentiated from an instrument failure. Fiadings and violations related to EAL instrumentation issues may be located on the

4.4 PRESENTATION OF SCHEME INFORMATION TO UsERS The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (1-ffi.C) expects licensees to establish and .. maintain the capability to assess, classify and declare an emergency condition promptly vii.thin 15 minutes after the a-vailability of indications to plant* operators that an emergency action le¥el has beea, or may be, mweeded. ¥.'hen writing an emergency classification proced"Hfe and creating related user aids, the developer must determine the presentation method(s) that best supports the end users by facilitating acC"HFate and timely emergency classification, To this end, developers sho:ald consider the fullowing poi-ft.ts. The first users of an emergency classification procedure are the operators in the Control Room. During the allowable classification time period, they may have responsibility to per:fum1 other critical tasks, and \Vill likely have minimal assistance in making a classification assessment. As an emergency situation evolves, members of the Control Room staff are likely to be the first personnel to notice a change in plant conditions. They can assess the changed conditions and, ;vhen .varranted, recommend a different emergency 1 1 classification level to the TeclHrical Supp01t Center (TSC) and/or Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). . Emergency Directors in the TSC and/or EOF \Vill have more opportunity to focus on making an en1ergency classification, and will probably have advisors from Operations available to help them. Emergency classification scheme information for end asers should be presented in a manner with which licensed operators are most comfortable. Developers will need to work closely with representatives from the Operations and Operations Training Departmeats to develop readily usable and easily understood classification tools (e.g., a procedure and related mer aids). If necessary, an alternate method for presenting 25

NEI 99 Q1 (Revisioa a) No:i,1ember 2012 5 GUIDANCE ON MAKING EM&RG&NCY ClASSIFICATIONSUSING THE DAECEALS 5.1 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS When making an emergency classification, the Emergency Director must consider all information having a bearing on the proper assessment of an Initiating Condition (IC). This includes the Emergency Action Level (EAL) plus the associated Operating Mode Applicability, Notes and the infonning Basis information. In the Recognition Category F matrices, EALs are referred to as Fission Product Barrier Thresholds; the thresholds serve the same function as an EAL. NRC regulations require the licensee to establish and maintain the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded and to promptly declare the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level. The NRC staff has provided guidance on implementing this requirement in NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, Interim Staff Guidance, Emergency Planning/or Nuclear Power Plants. All emergency classification assessments should be based upon valid indications, reports or conditions. A valid indication, report, or condition, is one that has been verified through appropriate means such that there* is no doubt regarding the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy. For example, validation could be accomplished through an instrument channel check, response on related or redundant indicators, or direct observation by plant personnel. The validation of indications should be completed in a manner that supports timely emergency declaration. For ICs and EALs that have a stipulated time duration (e.g., 15 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.), the Emergency Director should not wait until the applicable time has elapsed, but should declare the event as soon as it is determined that the condition has exceeded, or will likely exceed, the applicable time. If an ongoing radiological release is detected and the release start time is unknown, it should be assumed that the release duration specified in the IC/EAL has been exceeded, absent data to the contrary. A planned work activity that results in an expected event or condition which meets or exceeds an EAL does not warrant an emergency declaration provided that 1) the activity proceeds as planned and 2) the plant remains within the limits imposed by the operating license. Such activities include planned work to test, manipulate, repair, maintain or modify a system or component. In these cases, the controls associated with the planning, preparation and execution of the work will ensure that compliance is maintained with all aspects of the operating license provided that the activity proceeds and concludes as expected. Events or conditions of this type may be subject to the reporting requirements of 10 f-CFR 50.72. The assessment of some EALs is based on the results of analyses that are necessary to ascertain whether a specific EAL threshold has been exceeded (e.g., dose assessments, 29

NEI 99 QI (Revision 6) November 2Ql2 chemistry sampling, RCS leak rate calculation, etc.); the EAL and/or the associated basis discussion will identify the necessary analysis. In these cases, the 15-minute declaration period starts with the availability of the analysis results that show the threshold to be exceeded (i.e., this is the time that the EAL information is first available). The NRC expects licensees to establish the capability to initiate and complete EAL-related analyses within a reasonable period of time (e.g., maintain the necessary expertise on-shift). While the EALs have been developed to address a full spectrum of possible events and conditions which may warrant emergency classification, a provision for classification based on operator/management experience and judgment is still necessary. The }ffil 99 01-This scheme provides the Emergency Director with the ability to classify events and conditions based upon judgment using EALs that are consistent with the Emergency Classification Level (ECL) definitions (refer to Category H). The Emergency Director will need to determine if the effects or consequences of the event or condition reasonably meet or exceed a particular ECL defmition. A similar provision is incorporated into the Fission Product Barrier Tables; judgment may be used to determine the status of a fission product barrier. 5.2 30

NEI 99 Q1 (RevisieH e) Nevember 2Ql2 CLASSIFICATION METHODOLOGY To make an emergency classification, the user will compare an event or condition (i.e., the relevant plant indications and reports) to an EAL(s) and determine if the EAL has been met or exceeded. The evaluation of an EAL(s) must be consistent with the related Operating Mode Applicability and Notes. If an EAL has been met or exceeded, then the IC is considered met and the associated ECL is declared in accordance with plant procedures. When assessing an EAL that specifies a time duration for the off-normal condition, the "clock" for the EAL time duration runs concurrently with the emergency classification process "clock." For a full discussion of this timing requirement, refer to NSIR/DPR=- ISG-01. 5.3 CLASSIFICATION OF MULTIPLE EVENTS AND CONDITIONS When multiple emergency events or conditions are present, the user will identify all met or exceeded EALs. The highest applicable ECL identified during this review is declared. For mcample: If aa Alert EAL aecl a Site Area EmergeeeJ' EAL are n'let, y;heth.er at oBe UH.it or at two cliffereet 1:u1'its, a Site Area Emergeeey sho1:1lcl ae cleelared.

     +Additionally, there is no "additive" effect from multiple EALs meeting the same ECL.

For example: If two Alert EALs are met.,, whether at oee UH.it or at two cliffereE:t ueits, an Alert should be declared.

                                                                                   ~Tewimbsr 2QI2 5 .4 CONSIDERATION OF MODE CHANGES DURING CLASSIFICATION The mode in effect at the time that an event or condition occurred, and prior to any plant or operator response, is the mode that determines whether or not an IC is applicable. If an event or condition occurs, and results in a mode change before the emergency is declared, the emergency classification level is still based on the mode that existed at the time that the event or condition was initiated (and Iiot when it was declared). Once a different mode is reached, any new event or condition, not related to the original event or condition, requiring emergency classification should be evaluated against the ICs and EALs applicable to the operating mode at the time of the new event or condition.

For events that occur in Cold Shutdown or Refueling, escalation is via EALs that are applicable in the Cold Shutdown or Refueling modes, even if Hot Shutdown (or a higher mode) is entered during the subsequent plant response. In particular, the fission product barrier EALs are applicable only to events that initiate in the Hot Shutdown mode or higher. 32

NEI 99 g I (Re11isioa a) No,,rember 2912 5.5 CLASSIFICATION OF IMMINENT CONDITIONS Although EALs provide specific thresholds, the Emergency Director must remain alert to events or conditions that could lead to meeting or exceeding an EAL within a relatively short period of time (i.e., a change in the ECL is IMMINENT). If, in the judgment of the Emergency Director, meeting an EAL is IMMINENT, the emergency classification should be made as if the EAL has been met. While applicable to all emergency classification levels, this approach is particularly important at the higher emergency classification levels since it provides additional time for implementation of protective measures. 5.6 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVEL UPGRADING AND DOWNGRADING An ECL may be downgraded when the event or condition that meets the highest IC and EAL no longer exists, and other site-specific downgrading requirements are met. If downgrading the ECL is deemed appropriate, the new ECL would then be based on a lower applicable IC(s) and EAL(s). The ECL may also simply be terminated. 33

NEI 99 Q1 (R-evisiea i) I / Nevemb& 2Q12 The following approach to downgrading or terminating an ECL is recommended. ECL Action When Condition No Longer Exists Unusual Event Terminate the emergency in accordance with plant procedures. Alert Downgrade or terminate the emergency in accordance with plant procedures. Site Area Emergency with no Downgrade or terminate the emergency in 1ong-term plant damage accordance with plant procedures. Site Area Emergency with Terminate the emergency and enter recovery in 1ong-term plant damage accordance with plant procedures. General Emergency Terminate the emergency and enter recovery in accordance with plant procedures.

By their nature, some of these events may be short-lived and, thus, over before the emergency classification assessment can be completed. If an event occurs that meets or exceeds an EAL, the associated ECL must be declared regardless of its continued presence at the time of declaration. Examples of such events include a failure of the reactor protection system to automatically scra~ the reactor followed by a successful manual s c r ~ or an earthquake.

5.8 CLASSIFICATION OF TRANSIENT CONDITIONS Many of the ICs and/or EALs contained in this document employ time-based criteria. These criteria will require that the IC/EAL conditions be present for a defined period of time before an emergency declaration is warranted. In cases where no time-based criterion is specified, it is recognized that some transient conditions may cause an EAL to be met for a brief period of time (e.g., a few seconds to a few minutes). The following guidance should be applied to the classification of these conditions. EAL momentarily met during expected plant response - In instances where an EAL is briefly met during an expected (normal) plant response, an emergency declaration is not warranted provided that associated systems and components are operating as expected, and operator actions are performed in accordance with procedures. 35

NEI 99 QI (Revision 6) November 2Ql2 EAL momentarily met but the condition is corrected prior to an emergency declaration - If an operator takes prompt manual action to address a condition, and the action is successful in correcting the condition prior to the emergency declaration, then the applicable EAL is not considered met and the associated emergency declaration is not required. For illustrative purposes, consider the following example. An A TWS occurs and the auxiliary feedwater system fails to automatically start. Steam generator levels rapidly decrease and the plant enters an inadequate RCS heat removal condition (a potential loss of both the fuel clad and RCS barriers). If an operator manually starts the auxiliary feedwater system in accordance with an EOP step and clears the inadequate RCS heat removal condition prior to an emergency declaration, then the classification should be based on the ATWS only. It is important to stress that the 15-minute emergency classification assessment period is not a "grace period" during which a classification may be delayed to allow the performance of a corrective action that would obviate the need to classify the event; emergency classification assessments must be deliberate and timely, with no undue delays. The provision discussed above addresses only those rapidly evolving situations where an operator is able to take a successful corrective action prior to the Emergency Director completing the review and steps necessary to make the emergency declaration. This provision is included to ensure that any public protective actions resulting from the emergency classification are truly warranted by the plant conditions. 5.9 AFTER-THE-FACT DISCOVERY OF AN EMERGENCY EVENT OR CONDITION In some cases, an EAL may,be met but the emergency classification was not made at the time of the event or condition. This situation can occur when personnel discover that an event or condition existed which met an EAL, but no emergency was declared, and the event or condition no longer exists at the time of discovery. This may be due to the event or condition not being recognized at the time or an error that was made in the emergency classification process-. In these cases, no emergency declaration is warranted; however, the guidance contained in NUREG-1022 is applicable. Specifically, the event should be reported to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR ,§--50.72 within one hour of the discovery of the undeclared event or condition. The licensee should also notify appropriate State and local agencies in accordance with the agreed upon arrangements. 5.10 RETRACTION OF AN EMERGENCY DECLARATION Guidance on the retraction of an emergency declaration reported to the NRC is discussed in NUREG-1022. 36

l'ffiI 99 01 (Revisioa 6) Noveni.ber 2012 Definitions: Basis: This IC addresses a potential decrease in the level of safety of the plant as indicated by a low-level radiological release that exceeds regulatory commitments for an extended period of time (e.g., an uncontrolled release). It includes any gaseous or liquid radiological release, monitored or un-monitored, including those for which a radioactivity discharge permit is normally prepared. Naelear pewer plafltsDAEC incorporates design features intended to control the release of radioactive effluents to the environment. Further, there are administrative controls established to prevent unintentional releases, and to control and monitor intentional releases. The occurrence of an extended, uncontrolled radioactive release to the environment is indicative of degradation in these features and/or controls. Radiological effluent EALs are also included to provide a basis for classifying events and conditions that cannot be readily or appropriately classified on the basis of plant conditions alone. The inclusion of both plant condition and radiological effluent EALs more fully addresses the spectrum of possible accident events and conditions. Classification based on effluent monitor readings assumes that a release path to the environment is established. _If the effluent flow past an effluent monitor is known to have stopped due to actions to isolate the release path, then the effluent monitor reading is no longer valid for classification purposes. Releases should not be prorated or averaged. For example, a release exceeding 4 times release limits for 30 minutes does not meet the EAL. EAL RUl :1 - This EAL addresses normally occurring continuous radioactivity releases from monitored gaseous or liquid effluent pathways. EAL RUI.2 - This EAL addresses radioactivity releases that cause effluent radiation monitor readings to exceed 2 times the limit established by a radioactivity discharge permit._ This EAL will typically be associated with planned batch releases from non-continuous release pathways (e.g., radwaste, waste gas). EAL RUl.3 -This EAL addresses uncontrolled gaseous or liquid releases that are detected by sample analyseis or environmental surveys, particularly on unmonitored pathways (e.g., spills of radioactive liquids into storm drains, heat exchanger leakage in river water systems, etc.). Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC AA+RAl.

The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. REFUELING PATHWAY: The reactor refueling cavity, spent fuel pool and fuel transfer canal. 43

NEI 99 Q1 (Revisiea G) Nevember 2012 Basis: This IC addresses a decrease in water level above irradiated fuel sufficient to cause elevated radiation levels. This condition could be a precursor to a more serious event and is also indicative of a minor loss in the ability to control radiation levels within the plant. It is therefore a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant. A water level decrease will be primarily determined by indications from available level instrumentation. _Other sources of level indications may include reports from plant personnel (e.g., from a refueling crew) or video camera observations (if available). A significant drop in the water level may also cause an increase in the radiation levels of adjacent areas that can be detected by monitors in thqse locations. 44

l'IBI 99 Ql (Revisiea 6) l'foveme er 20 12 The effects of planned evolutions should be considered. For example, a refueling bridge area radiation monitor reading may increase due to planned evolutions such as lifting of the reactor vessel head or movement of a fuel assembly. Note that this EAL is applicable only in cases where the elevated reading is due to an UNPLANNED loss of water level. During preparation for reactor cavity flood up prior to entry into refuel mode, reactor vessel level instmment LI-4541 (WR GEMAC, FLOODUP) on control room panel 1C04 is placed in service by I&C personnel connecting a compensating air signal after the reference leg is disconnected from the reactor head. Normal refuel water level is above the top of the span of this flood up level indicator. A valid indication (e .g., not due to loss of compensating air signal or other instrument channel failure) of reactor cavity level coming on span for this instmrnent is used at DAEC as an indicator of uncontrolled reactor cavity level decrease. DAEC Technical Specifications require a minimum of 36 feet of water in the spent fuel pool when moving irradiated fuel into the secondary containment. During refueling, the gates between the reactor cavity and the refueling cavity are removed and the spent fuel pool level indicator LI- 3413 is used to monitor refueling water level. Procedures require that a normal refueling water level be maintained at 37 feet 5 inches . A low level alarm actuates when spent fuel pool level drops below 37 feet l inch . Symptoms of inventory loss at DAEC include visual observation of decreasing water levels in reactor cavity or spent fuel storage pool, Reactor Building (RB) fuel storage pool radiation monitor or refueling area radiation monitor alarms, observation of a decreasing trend on the spent fuel pool water level indicator, and actuation of the spent fuel pool low water level alam1. To eliminate minor level perturbations from concern, DAEC uses LI-3413 *indicated water level below 36 feet and lowering. Increased radiation levels can be detected by the local area radiation moRitors surrounding the spent ( fuel pool and refueling cavity areas. Applicable area radiation monitors are those listed in AOP 981. A drop in water level above irradiated fuel within the reactor vessel may be classified in accordance Recognition Category C during the Cold Shutdown and Refueling modes. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC AMRA2.

N0 1;0mber 2Ql2 These events present radiological safety challenges to plant personnel and are precursors to a release of radioactivity to the environment. As such, they represent an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Expected radiation monitor alarm(s) during preplanned transfer of highly radioactive material through the affected areas are not considered valid alarms for the purpose of comparison to these EALs. 52

NEI 99 01 (Re1.rision 6) November 2012 This IC applies to irradiated fuel that is licensed for dry storage up to the point that the loaded storage cask is sealed. Once sealed, damage to a loaded cask causing loss of the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY is classified in accordance with IC E-HUl. Escalation of the emergency would be based on either Recognition Category A-R or C ICs. EALRA2.l This EAL escalates from :M:R--RU2 in that the loss oflevel, in the affected portion of the REFUELING PATHWAY, is of sufficient magnitude to have resulted in uncovery of irradiated fuel. Indications of irradiated fuel uncovery may include direct or indirect visual observation (e.g., reports from personnel or camera images), as well as significant changes in water and radiation levels, or other plant parameters. Computational aids may also be used (e.g., a boil off curve). Classification of an event using this EAL should be based on the totality of available indications, reports, and observations. 53

NEI 99 0 l (Revision 6) November 2012 While an area radiation monitor could detect an increase in a dose rate due to a lowering of water level in some portion of the REFUELING PATHWAY, the reading may not be a reliable indication of whether or not the fuel is actually uncovered. To the degree possible, readings should be considered in combination with other available indications of inventory loss. A drop in water level above irradiated fuel within the reactor vessel may be classified in accordance Recognition Category C during the Cold Shutdown and Refueling modes. EALRA2.2 This EAL addresses a release of radioactive material caused by mechanical damage to irradiated fuel. Damaging events may include the dropping, bumping or binding of an assembly, or dropping a heavy load onto an assembly. ,t<._ rise in readingsAn alarm on these radiation monitors should be considered in conjunction with in-plant reports or observations of a potential fuel damaging event (e.g., a fuel handling accident). Threshold values for the Drywell monitors are only applicable in Mode 5 since the calculated radiation levels from damage to irradiated fuel would be masked by the typical background levels on these monitors during plant operation, and mechanical damage to a fuel assembly in the vessel can only happen with the reactor head removed. EALRA2.3 Spent fuel pool water level at this value is within the lower end of the level range necessary to prevent significant dose consequences from direct gamma radiation to personnel performing operations in the vicinity of the spent fuel pool. This condition reflects a significant loss of spent fuel pool water inventory and thus it is also a precursor"to a loss of the ability to adequately cool the irradiated fuel assembles stored in the pool. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via ICs AS-I-RS 1 or ~RS2(see AS2 De1*eleper Aretes).

NEI 99 Q1 (Revisioa a) Novembsr 201'.2 Definitions: SITE BOUNDARY: That line beyond which the land is neither owned, nor leased, nor otherwise controlled by the licensee. Basis: This IC addresses a release of gaseous radioactivity that results in projected or actual offsite doses greater than or equal to 10% of the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAGs). It includes both monitored and un-monitored releases. Releases of this magnitude are associated with the failure of plant systems needed for the protection of the public. This IC is modified by a note that EAL RS 1.1 is only assessed for emergency classification until a qualified dose assessor is perfonning assessments using dose projection software incorporating actual meteorological data and current radiological conditions. However, if Kaman monitor readings are sustained for 15 minutes or longer and the required MIDAS dose assessments cannot be completed within this period, then the declaration can be made using Kaman readings PROVIDED the readings are not from an isolated flow path. Radiological effluent EALs are also included to provide a basis for classifying events and I. conditions that cannot be readily or appropriately classified on the basis of plant conditions alone. The inclusion of both plant condition and radiological effluent EALs more fully addresses the spectrum of possible accident events and conditions. The TEDE dose is set at 10% of the EPA PAG of 1,000 mrem while the 500 mrem thyroid CDE was established in consideration of the 1:5 ratio of the EPA PAG for TEDE and thyroid CDE. Classification based on effluent monitor readings assumes that a release path to the environment is established._ If the effluent flow past an effluent monitor is known 'to have stopped due to actions to isolate the release path, then the effluent monitor reading is* no longer valid for classification purposes. If Kaman readings are not valid, field survey results may be utilized to assess this IC using EAL RS1.3. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC AGlRG 1.

Definitions: UNPLANNED: A paran1eter change or an event that is not I) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. Basis: This IC addresses the inability to restore and maintain water level to a required minimum level (or the lower limit of a level band), or a loss of the ability to monitor (reactor vessel/RCS [PWR] er-RPV [B WR]) level concurrent with indications of coolant leakage. Either of these conditions is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Refueling evolutions that decrease RCS water inventory are carefully planned and controlled. An UNPLANNED event that results in water level decreasing below a procedurally required limit warrants the declaration of an Unusual Event due to the reduced water inventory that is available to keep the core covered. 76

NEI 99 Q1 (R-evisiea e) Nevsmber 2Q 12 EAL CUI .1 recognizes that the minimum required (reaetor vessel/RCS [PWcR] or RPV [B WR]) level can change several times during the course of a refueling outage as different plant configurations and system lineups are implemented. This EAL is met if the minimum level, specified for the current plant conditions, cannot be maintained for 15 minutes or longer. The minimum level is typically specified in the applicable-_operating procedure but may be specified in another controlling document. The 15-minute threshold duration allows sufficient time for prompt operator actions to restore and maintain the expected water level. This criterion excludes transient conditions causing a brief lowering of water level. 77

NEI 99 QI (Revisiea e) 1'Tevemaer 2Q 12 ---EAL CUl.2 addresses a condition where all means to determine (reaetor vessel/RCS [PWR] or RPV [BW'R]) level have been lost. In this eondition, operators may detennine that an inventory loss is oeeurring by observing ehanges in sump and/or tank levels. Sump and/or tame le>;*el ehanges must be evaluated against other potential sourees of ,vater flovl to ensure they are indieative ofleakage from the (reaetor vessel/Rt'.S [PWR] or RPV [BWR]). If all level indication were to be lost during a loss of RCS inventory event, the operators would need to determine that RSC inventory loss was occurring by observing sump and Suppression Pool level changes. The drywell floor and equipment drain sumps, reactor building equipment and floor drain sumps receive all liquid waste from floor and equipment drains inside the primary containment and reactor building. A rise in Suppression Pool water level may be indicative of valve misalignment or leakage in systems that discharge to the Torus. Sump and Suppression Pool level increases must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the containment to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage. Continued loss of RCS inventory may result in escalation to the Alert emergency classification level via either IC CAI or CA3. De¥elepeF Netes: EAL #1 k is reeognized that the minimum allo,vable reaetor vessel/RCS/RPV level may hav'e many values over the eourse ofa refueling outage.

These systems are classified as safety-related./'... system regt1ired for safe plaBt operation, cooling dowa the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdovln condition, incmding the EGGS. Systems classified as safety related. Basis: This IC describes a significant degradation of offsite and onsite AC power sources such that any additional single failure would result in a loss of all AC power to SAFETY SYSTEMS. In this condition, the sole AC power source may be powering one, or more than one, train of safety::-* related equipment. When in the cold shutdown, refueling, or defueled mode, this condition is not classified as an Alert because of the increased time available to restore another power source to service. Additional time is available due to the reduced core decay heat load, and the lower temperatures and pressures in various plant systems. Thus, when in these modes, this condition is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. An "AC power source" is a source recognized in AOPs and EOPs, and capable of supplying required power to an emergency bus. Some examples of this condition are presented below.

  • A loss of all offsite power with a concurrent failure of all but one emergency power source (e.g., an onsite diesel generator).

If the RCS is not intact and CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is not established during this event, the Emergency Director should also refer to IC CA3. A momentary UNPLANNED excursion above the Technical Specification cold shutdown temperature limit when the heat removal function is available does not warrant a classification. 85

NEI 99 Q1 (Rr,wisiea G) Nevember 2Ql2 EAL CU3. l involves a loss of decay heat removal capability, or an addition of heat to the RCS in excess of that which can currently be removed, such that reactor coolant temperature cannot be maintained below the cold shutdown temperature limit specified in Technical Specifications. During this condition, there is no immediate threat of fuel damage because the core decay heat load has been reduced since the cessation of power operation. During an outage, the level in the reactor vessel will normally be maintained above the reactor vessel flange. Refueling evolutions that lower water level below the reactor vessel flange are carefully planned and controlled. A loss of forced decay heat removal at reduced inventory may result in a rapid increase in reactor coolant temperature depending on the time after shutdown. 86

NEI 99 QI (ReYisiea 6) Nevember 2Ql2 EAL CU3.2 reflects a condition where there has been a significant loss of instrumentation capability necessary to monitor RCS conditions and operators would be unable to monitor key parameters necessary to assure core decay heat removal. During this condition, there is no immediate threat of fuel damage because the core decay heat load has been reduced since the cessation of power operation. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of indication. Escalation to Alert would be via IC CAI based on an inventory loss or IC CA3 based on exceeding plant configuration-specific time criteria.

Basis: This IC addresses a loss of Vital DC power which compromises the ability to monitor and control operable SAFETY SYSTEMS when the plant is in the cold shutdown or refueling mode. In these modes, the core decay heat load has been significantly reduced, and coolant system temperatures and pressures are lower; these conditions increase the time available to restore a vital DC bus to service. Thus, this condition is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. As used in this EAL, "required" means the Vital DC buses necessary to support operation of the in-service, or operable, train or trains of SAFETY SYSTEM equipment. For example, if Train A is out-of-service (inoperable) for scheduled outage maintenance work and Train B is in-service (operable), then a loss of Vital DC power affecting Train B would require the declaration of an Unusual Event. A loss of Vital DC power to Train A would not warrant an emergency classification. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses.

Definitions: UNPLANNED: A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. Basis: This IC addresses conditions that are precursors to a loss of the ability to adequately cool irradiated fuel (i.e., a precursor to a challenge to the fuel clad barrier). This condition represents a potential substantial reduction in the level of plant safety. For EAL CA 1.1, a lowering of water level below (site specific level) 119 .5 inches indicates that operator actions have not been successful in restoring and maintaining (reactor vessel/R{:;S [PWR] or RPV [B14'R]) water level. The heat-up rate of the coolant will increase as the available water inventory is reduced. A continuing decrease in water level will lead to core uncovery. __/ Although related, EAL CAI .1 is concerned with the loss of RCS inventory and not the potential concurrent effects on systems needed for decay heat removal (e.g., loss of a Residual Heat Rem.oval suction point). An increase in RCS temperature caused by a loss of decay heat removal capability is evaluated under IC CA3. 93

NEI 99 QI (Revisi:ea a) Nevember 2Q 12 For EAL CA 1.2, the inability to monitor (reactor vessel/RCS [PWR] or RPV [B WR]) level may be caused by instrumentation and/or power failures, or water level dropping below the range of available instrumentation.

The drywell floor and equipment drain sumps, reactor building equipment and floor drain sumps receive all liquid waste from floor and equipment drains inside the primary containment and reactor building. A rise in Suppression Pool water level may be indicative of valve misalignment or leakage in systems that discharge to the Torus. Sump and Suppression Pool level increases must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the containment to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage. 94

NEI 99 0 I (Revisiea '3) Nevel.'fl0er 2012 The 15-minute duration for the loss of level indication was chosen because it is half of the EAL duration specified in IC CS 1 If the (reaetor vessel/RCS [PJf'R] or RPV [BWR]) inventory level continues to lower, then escalation to Site Area Emergency would be via IC CS 1. Develeper Netes: For EAL #1 the "site specific level" should be based on either:

  • [EWR] Lov,r Low EGGS aeteatiofl setpoint/Le:vel 2. This setpoint v.zas ehoseH: beeause it is a standard operationally significant setpoint at which some (typically high pressure EGGS) injection systems v.rould automatieally start and is a value significantly below the low RPV water level RPS actuation setpoint specified ifl IC CUI.
  • [PWR] The minimum allmvable level that supports operation of normally used decay heat removal systems (e.g., Residual Heat Removal or Shutdovm Cooling). If multiple levels exist, specify each aloH:g with the appropriate mode or configuration dependency criteria.

For El*.L #2 The type and range of RCS level instramen-tation may vary duriflg an outage as the plant moves through various operating modes and refHoliBg ev.olutions, partieularly for a PWR. i\s appropriate to tho plant design, alternate means of determining RCS le*1el are installed to assure that the ability to monitor level \.vithin the range required by operating ** proeedures v,ri.11 not be iF1tem1pted.

NEI 99 01 (R~wisioa 6) November 2012 Basis: This IC addresses conditions involving a loss of decay heat removal capability or an addition of heat to the RCS in excess of that which can currently be removed. Either condition represents an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. A momentary UNPLANNED excursion above the Technical Specification cold shutdown temperature limit when the heat removal function is available does not warrant a classification. RCS integrity is intact when the RCS pressure boundary is in its nonnal condition for the cold shutdown mode of operation (e.g., no freeze seals or nozzle dams). 99

NEI 99 01 (R-svisien 6) Navsmb@r 2012 The RCS Heat-up Duration Thresholds table addresses an increase in RCS temperature when CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is established but the RCS is not intact, or RCS inventory is reduced (e.g., mid loop operation in PWRs) ..:. The 20-minute criterion was included to allow time for operator action to address the temperature increase. The RCS Heat-up Duration Thresholds table also addresses an increase in RCS temperature with the RCS intact. The status of CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is not crucial in this condition since the intact RCS is providing a high pressure barrier to a fission product release. The 60-minute time frame should allow sufficient time to address the temperature increase without a substantial degradation in plant safety. Finally, in the case where there is an increase in RCS temperature, the RCS is not intact or is at reduced inventory [PWR], and CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is not established, no heat-up duration is allowed (i.e., 0 minutes). This is because I) the evaporated reactor coolant may be released directly into the Containment atmosphere and subsequently to the environment, and

2) there is reduced reactor coolant inventory above the top of irradiated fuel.

EAL CA3.2 provides a pressure-based indication of RCS heat-up. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CS I or A&l-RS 1. Developer Notes: For El..L #1 Enter the "site specific Technical Specification cold shutdown temperature limit" \Vfl:ere indicated. The R{:;S should be considered intact or not i-R-tact in accordance with site specific criteria. For EAL #2 The "site specific pressure reading" should be the lov,est change in pressure that can be accurately determined using installed instrumentation, but not less than 10 psig.

Observation of flame is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. EXPLOSION: A rapid, violent and catastrophic failure of a piece of equipment due to combustion, chemical reaction, or overpressurization. A release of steam (from high energy lines or components) or an electrical component failure (caused by short circuits, grounding, arcing, etc.) should not automatically be considered an explosion. Such events may require a post-event inspection to determine if the attributes of an explosion are present.

These systems are classified as safety-related.A system reguirnd for safe plant operation. cooling dov,rn the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the EGGS. Systems classified as safety related. VISIBLE DAMAGE: Damage to a component or structure that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analysis. The visual impact of the damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the affected component or structure. Damage resulting from an equipment failure and limited to the failed component (i.e., the failure did not cause damage to a stmcture or any other equipment) is not VISIBLE DAMAGE. Basis: This IC addresses a hazardous event that causes damage to SAFETY SYSTEMS needed for the current operating mode. In order to provide the appropriate context for consideration of an ALERT classification, the hazardous event must have caused indications of degraded SAFETY SYSTEM performance in one train, and there must be either indications of perfonnance issues with the second SAFETY SYSTEM train or VISIBLE DAMAGE to the second train such that the potential exists for this second SAFETY SYSTEM train to have performance issues. In other words, in order for this EAL to be classified, the hazardous event must occur, at least one SAFETY SYSTEM train must have indications of degraded performance, and the second SAFETY SYSTEM train must have indications of degraded performance or VISIBLE DAMAGE such that the potential exists for performance issues. Note that this second SAFETY SYSTEM train is from the same SAFETY SYSTEM that has indications of degraded performance for criteria CA6.l.b.1 of this EAL: commercial nuclear power plants are designed to be able to support single system issues without compromising public health and safety from radiological events. An event affecting a single-train SAFETY SYSTEM (i.e .. there are indications of degraded perfonnance and/or VISIBLE DAMAGE affecting the one train) would not be classified under CA6 because the two-train impact criteria that underlie the EALs and Bases would not be met. If an event affects a single-train SAFETY SYSTEM, then the emergency classification should be made based on plant parameters/symptoms meeting the EALs for another IC. Depending upon the circumstances, classification may also occur based on Shift Manager/Emergency Director judgement. 103

NEI 99 01 (R~visieR a) Nevsrabsr 2012 Indications of degraded perfonnance addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is in service/operation since indications for it will be readily available. The indications of degraded performance should be significant enough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM train.

NEI 99 01 (Revisioa 6) November 2012 Basis: This IC addresses a significant and prolonged loss of (reactor vesseYRCS [PWR] or RPV [BWR]) inventory control and makeup capability leading to IMMINENT fuel damage. The lost inventory may be due to a RCS component failure, a loss of configuration control or prolonged boiling of reactor coolant. These conditions entail major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public and thus warrant a Site Area Emergency declaration. 107

NEI 99 01 (R~visioa G) Novemeer 2012 Following an extended loss of core decay heat removal and inventory makeup, decay heat will cause reactor coolant boiling and a further reduction in reactor vessel level. If R:G&/'.reactor vessel level cannot be restored, fuel damage is probable. Outage/shutdown contingency plans typically provide for re-establishing or verifying CONTAINMENT CLOSURE following a loss of heat removal or RCS inventory control functions. The difference in the specified R:G&/'.reactor vessel levels of EALs CS 1.1.b and CS 1.2.b reflect the fact that with CONTAINMENT CLOSURE established, there is a lower probability of a fission product release to the environment.- .. In the Cold Shutdown and Refueling Modes, LT/LI-4559, 4560, and 4561 (RX VESSEL NARROW RANGE LEVEL) instruments read up to 22" high due to hot calibrations. LI-4541 (WR GEMAC, FLOODUP) should be used in these Modes for comparison to EAL thresholds since it is calibrated cold and reads accurately. If normal means of RPV level indication are not available due to plant evolutions, redundant means of RPV level indication will be normally installed (including the ability to monitor level visually) to assure that the ability to monitor level will not be interrupted. In EAL CSl.3.a, the 30-minute criterion is tied to a readily recognizable event start time (i.e., the total loss of ability to monitor level), and allows sufficient time to monitor, assess and correlate reactor and plant conditions to determine if core uncovery has actually occurred (i.e., to account for various accident progression and instrumentation uncertainties). It also allows sufficient time for performance of actions to terminate leakage, recover inventory control/makeup equipment and/or restore level monitoring. The inability to monitor (reactor ¥essel/R.-C8 [PWR] or RPV [.B WR]) level may be caused by instrumentation and/or power failures, or water level dropping below the range of available instrumentation. If water level cannot be monitored, operators may determine that an inventory loss is occurring by observing changes in sump and/or tank levels. Sump and/or tank level changes must be evaluated against other potential sources of water flow to ensure they are indicative ofleakage from the (reactor ¥essel/RC8 [PWR] or RPV [.Bff'R]). These EALs address concerns raised by Generic Letter 88-17, Loss ofDecay Heat Removal; SECY 91-283, Evaluation of Shutdown and Low Power Risk Issues; NUREG-1449, Shutdown and Low-Power Operation at Commercial Nuclear Power Plants in the United States; and NUMARC 91-06, Guidelines for Industry Actions to Assess Shutdown Management. ---Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CG 1 or AG+RG 1.

For DAEC, this is considered to be Secondary Containment as required by Technical Specifications.Cc>>JT.zt\Il{MEtJT CLOSURE: The proeedmally defi.H:ed eonditions or aetions taken to seeme eontainment and its assoeiated struetures, systems, and eomponents as a functional barrier to fission product release under shutdown conditions. UNPLANNED: A parameter change or an event that is not 1). the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. Basis: This IC addresses the inability to restore and maintain reactor vessel level above the top of active fuel with containment challenged. This condition represents actual or IMMINENT substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA PAG exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area. Following an extended loss of core decay heat removal and inventory makeup, decay heat will cause reactor coolant boiling and a further reduction in reactor vessel level. If ~reactor vessel level cannot be restored, fuel damage is probable. With CONTAINMENT CLOSURE not established, there is a high potential for a direct and unmonitored release of radioactivity to the environment. If CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is re-established prior to exceeding the 30-minute time limit, then declaration of a General Emergency is not required. The existence of an explosive mixture means, at a minimum, that the containment atmospheric hydrogen concentration is sufficient to support a hydrogen burn (i.e., at the lower deflagration limit). A hydrogen burn will raise containment pressure and could result in collateral equipment damage leading to a loss of containment integrity. It therefore represents a challenge to Containment integrity. In the early stages of a core uncovery event, it is unlikely that hydrogen buildup due to a core uncovery could result in an explosive gas mixture in containment. If all installed hydrogen gas monitors are out-of-service during an event leading to fuel cladding damage, it may not be possible to obtain a containment hydrogen gas concentration reading as ambient conditions within the containment will preclude personnel access. During periods when installed containment hydrogen gas monitors are out-of-service, operators may use the other listed indications to assess whether or not containment is challenged. In EAL CG 1.2.~ the 30-minute criterion is tied to a readily recognizable event start time (i.e., the total loss of ability to monitor level), and allows sufficient time to monitor, assess and correlate reactor and plant conditions to determine if core uncovery has actually occurred (i.e., to account for various accident progression and instrnmentation uncertainties). It also allows sufficient time 113

For EAL CG 1.2.b, the calculated radiation level on the Drywell Monitors (9184A/B) is without the reactor head in place. Calculated in radiation levels with the reactor head in place are below the normal variation in background readings of these monitors. 114

NEI 99 01 (R.avisioa 6) Novsmb@r 2012 The inability to monitor (roaster vesse1'Rt:S [PWR] or RPV [lUf'R]) level may be caused by instrumentation and/or power failures, or water level dropping below the range of available instrumentation. If water level cannot be monitored, operators may determine that an inventory loss is occurring by observing changes in sump and/or tank levels. Sump and/or tank level changes must be evaluated against other potential sources of water flow to ensure they are indicative ofleakage from the (reaetor vessel/RCS [PWR] or RPV [BWR]). For the Containment Challenge Table, Secondary Containment max safe operating (MSOL) limits from EOP 3 are defined as the highest parameter value at which neither: 0) equipment necessary for the safe shutdown of the plant will fail nor (2) personnel access necessary for the safe shutdown of the plant will be precluded.

CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY: The barrier(s) between spent fuel and the enviromnent once the spent fuel is processed for dry storage. Basis: This IC addresses an event that results in damage to the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY of a storage cask containing spent fuel. It applies to irradiated fuel that is licensed for dry storage beginning at the point that the loaded storage cask is sealed. The issues of concern are the creation of a potential or actual release path to the environment, degradation of one or more fuel assemblies due to environmental factors, and configuration changes which could cause challenges in removing the cask or fuel from storage. The existence of "damage" is determined by radiological survey. The technical specification multiple of "2 times", which is also used in Recognition Category A-RIC RAUl, is used here to distinguish between non-emergency and emergency conditions._ The emphasis for this classification is the degradation in the level of safety of the spent fuel cask and not the magnitude of the associated dose or dose rate. It is recognized that in the case of extreme damage to a loaded cask, the fact that the "on-contact" dose rate limit is exceeded may be determined based on measurement of a dose rate at some distance from the cask. Security-related events for ISFSls are covered under ICs HUI and HAL 118

1. The logie used for these initiating eonditions refleets the follchving eonsiderations:
  • The Fael Clad Barrier and the RCS Barrier are ,veighted more heavily than the Containment Barrier.

Unusual Event ICs assoeiated with fissioH: product barriers are addrnssed in RecognitioH: Category S.

2. For accident eonditions involving a radiological release, evaluation of the fission product barrier thresholds *.vill need to be performed in conjUHction with dose assess111ents to ensure coffeet and timely escalation of the emergency classification. For example, an evaluation of the fission prodaet barrier thresholds ffiay result in a Site Area Effiergeney classification 1.vhile a dose assessment may indicate that an BAL for General .Bmergeney IC AGl has been fficceeded.
3. The fission product barrier thresholds speeified *.vithin a scheffl:e are expected to reflect plant specific design and opcrnting characteristics.

This may req,Hire that developers ereate different thresholds than those provided in the gene1ic guidance.

4. A.lternittive presentation metsods for the Recognition Cittegoey F ICs and fission produet barrier thresholds are aeeeptable and ineh1de flmv charts, block diagrams, and checklist type tables. Developers must ensure that the site specific method addresses all possible threshold -

eombinations and classification outcomes shov1n in the BWR or PWR EAL fission product barrier tables. The NRG staff eonsiders the presentatioe ffiethod of the Recognition Category F infoffilation to be an important user aid and may reqt:1est a change to a partieular proposed 111ethod if, among other reasons, the esaE:ge is neeessary to promote eonsisteney aeross the industry.

5. As used ia this Recognition Category, the term RCS leakage encompasses not just those types defined in Teehnical Speeifications but also includes the loss of RCS mass to any location inside containment, a secondary side system (i.e., PWR steam geHerator tube leakage), an interfaciag system, or outside of containment. The release of liquid or steam mass from the RCS due to the as designed/expected operation of a relief valve is not considered to be RCS leakage.
6. At the Site Area Effiergeney le1!'el, classifioation decision malEers should maintaiH: cognizance of sow far present eonditioHs are fron:1 ffieeting a threshold that 1,vould require a General Emergency deelaration. For e1cainple, if the Fuel Clad and.R{;S fission produet barriers were both lost, then there should be frequeH:t assessments of containment radioacti*te inventory and integrity. 1\.ltemittively, if both the Fuel Clad and RCS fission product baiTiers v1ere potentially lost, the Emergency Director would have more assurance that there was no immediate need to escalate to a General Emergency.
7. The ability to escalate to a higher emergency elassifieittion level in response to degrading conditions should be maintained. For example, a steady increase in RCS leakage would represent aH: increasing risk to publie health and safety.

Nevefflber 2012 Basis Information For llWR DAEC EAL Fission Product Barrier Table-9-F-F-1-4 BWR-DAEC FUEL CLAD BARRIER THRESHOLDS: The Fuel Clad barrier consists of the zircalloy or stainless steel fuel bundle tubes that contain the fuel pellets.

                                      /

This threshold indicates that RCS radioactivity concentration is greater than 300 µCi/gm dose equivalent I-131. Reactor coolant activity above this level is greater than that expected for iodine spikes and correspciBds to Em apf)roximate range of 2% to 5% fHel clad damage. Since this condition indicates that a significant amount of fuel clad damage has occurred, it represents a loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier. It is recognized that sample collection and analysis of reactor coolant with highly elevated activity levels could require several hours to complete. Nonetheless, a sample-related threshold is included. as a backup to other indications. There is no Potential Loss threshold associated with RCS Activity.

The RPV water level threshold is the same as RCS barrier Loss threshold 2.A. Thus, this threshold indicates a Potential Loss of the Fuel Clad barrier and a Loss of the RCS barrier that appropriately escalates the emergency classification level to a Site Area Emergency. 132

NEI 99 01 (RevisioR 6) November 2012 DAEC FUEL CLAD BARRIER THRESHOLDS {cont.): This threshold is considered to be exceeded when, as specified in the site specific EOPs, RPV water cannot be restored and maintained above the specified level following depressurization of the RPV (either manually, automatically or by failure of the RCS barrier) or when procedural guidance or a lack oflow pressure RPV injection sources preclude Emergency RPV depressurization. EOPs allow the operator a wide choice ofRPV injection sources to consider when restoring RPV water level to within prescribed limits. EOPs also specify depressurization of the RPV in order to facilitate RPV water level control with low-pressure injection sources. In some events, elevated RPV pressure may prevent restoration of RPV water level until pressure drops below the shutoff heads of available injection sources. Therefore, this Fuel Clad barrier Potential Loss is met only after either: 1) the RPV has been depressurized, or required emergency RPV depressurization has been attempted, giving the operator an opportunity to assess the capability oflow-pressure injection sources to restore RPV water level or 2) no low pressure RPV injection systems are available, precluding RPV depressurization in an attempt to minimize loss ofRPV inventory. 133

The term "cannot be restored and maintained above" means the value ofRPV water level is not able to be brought above the specified limit (top of active fuel). The determination requires an evaluation of system performance and availability in relation to the RPV water level value and trend. A threshold prescribing declaration when a threshold value cannot be restored and maintained above a specified limit does not require immediate action simply because the current value is below the top of active fuel, but does not permit extended operation below the limit; the threshold must be considered reached as soon as it is apparent that the top of active fuel cannot be attained. In high-power ATWS/failure to scram events, EOPs may direct the operator to deliberately lower RPV water level to the top of active fuel in order to reduce reactor power. RPV water level is then controlled between the top of active fuel and the Minimum Steam Cooling RPV Water Level (MSCRWL). Although such action is a challenge to core cooling and the Fuel Clad barrier, the immediate need to reduce reactor power is the higher priority. For such events, ICs SA§...SA6 or SS~ will dictate the need for emergency classification. Since the loss of ability to determine if adequate core cooling is being provided presents a significant challenge to the fuel clad barrier, a potential loss of the fuel clad barrier is specified. 134

There is no Potential Loss threshold associated with Primary Containment Pressure. DevelapeF Nates:

2. RPV Water Level Loss 2.A This .vater l+ 15 inches e¥el--corresponds to the top of active fuel (TAF) and is used in the EOPs to indicate challenge to core cooling.

1 The RPV water level threshold is the same as Fuel Clad barrier Potential Loss threshold 2.A. Thus, this threshold indicates a Loss of the RCS barrier and Potential Loss of the Fuel Clad barrier and that appropriately escalates the emergency classification level to a Site Area Emergency. This threshold is considered to be exceeded when, as specified in the site speeifie EOPs, RPV water cannot be restored and maintained above the specified level following depressurization of the RPV (either manually, automatically or by failure of the RCS barrier) or when procedural guidance or a lack of low pressure RPV injection sources preclude Emergency RPV depressurization EOPs allow the operator a wide choice ofRPV injection sources to consider when restoring RPV water level to within prescribed limits. EOPs also specify depressurization of the RPV in order to facilitate RPV water level control with low-pressure injection sources. In some events, elevated RPV pressure may prevent restoration ofRPV water level until pressure drops below the shutoff heads of available injection sources. Therefore, this RCS barrier Loss is met only after either: 1) the RPV has been depressurized, or required emergency RPV depressurization has been attempted, giving the operator an opportunity to assess the capability of low-pressure injection sources to restore RPV water level or 2) no low pressure RPV injection systems are available, precluding RPV depressurization in an attempt to minimize loss ofRPV inventory. 139

The term, "cannot be restored and maintained above," means the value of RPV water level is not able to be brought above the specified limit (top of active fuel). The determination requires an evaluation of system performance and availability in relation to the RPV water level value and trend. A threshold prescribing declaration when a threshold value cannot be restored and maintained above a specified limit does not require immediate action simply because the current value is below the top of active fuel, butfuel but does not permit extended operation beyond the limit; the threshold must be considered reached as soon as it is apparent that the top of active fuel cannot be attained. 140

In high-power ATWS/failure to scram events, EOPs may direct the operator to deliberately lower RPV water level to the top of active fuel in order to reduce reactor power. RPV water level is then controlled between the top of active fuel and the Minimum Steam Cooling RPV Water Level (MSCRWL). Although such action is a challenge to core cooling and the Fuel Clad barrier, the immediate need to reduce reactor power is the higher priority.-For such events, ICs SAS or SS5 will dictate the need for emergency classification. There is no RCS Potential Loss threshold associated with RPV Water Level.

3. RCS Leak Rate Loss Threshold 3.A Large high-energy lines that rupture outside primary containment can discharge significant amounts of inventory and jeopardize the pressure-retaining capability of the RCS until they are isolated. If it is'determined that the ruptured line cannot be promptly isolated from the Control Room, the RCS barrier Loss threshold is met.

Loss Threshold 3.B Emergency RPV Depressurization in accordance with the EOPs is indicative of a loss of the RCS barrier. If Emergency RPV Depressurization is performed, the plant operators are directed to open safety relief valves (SRVs) and keep them open. Even though the RCS is being vented into the suppression pool, a Loss of the RCS barrier exists due to the diminished effectiveness of the RCS to retain fission products within its boundary.

  • Potential Loss Threshold 3.A Potential loss of RCS based on* primary system leakage outside the primary containment is determined from EOP temperature or radiation Max Normal Operating values in areas such as main steam line tunnel, RCIC, HPCI, etc., which indicate a direct path from the RCS to areas outside primary containment.

A Max Normal Operating Limit (MNOL) value is the highest value of the identified parameter expected to occur during normal plant operating conditions with all directly associated support and control systems functioning properly. 141

The indi~ators reaching the threshold barriers and confirmed to be caused by RCS leakage from a primary system warrant an Alert classification. A primary system is defined to be the pipes, valves, and other equipment which connect directly to the RPV such that a reduction in RPV pressure will effect a decrease in the steam or water being discharged through an unisolated break in the system. An UNISOLABLE leak which is indicated by Max Normal OperatingMNOL values escalates to a Site Area Emergency when combined with Containment Barrier Loss threshold 3.A (after a containment isolation) and a General Emergency when the Fuel Clad Barrier criteria is also exceeded. DAEC RCS BARRIER THRESHOLDS (cont.): Developer Notes: Loss Threshold 3 .A The list of systems inelt:1ded in this threshold sho1,ild be the higa e0ergy lines 1.vaica, ifru-ptured and remain unisolated, ean rapidly depressarize the RPV. These lines are typieally isolated by aetaation of the Leak Detection system. Large high energy line breaks sueh as Main Steam Line (MSL), High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI), Feedi,vater, Reactor Water Clearmp (RWCU), Isolation Condenser (IC) or Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) that are UNISOL".BLE represent a significant loss of the RCS bafl"ier.

4. Primary Containment Radiation Loss4.A The Drywellradiation monitor reading corresponds to an instantaneous release of all reactor coolant mass into the primary containment, assuming that reactor coolant activity equals Technical Specification allowable limits. This value is lower than that specified for Fuel Clad Barrier Loss threshold 4.A since it indicates a loss of the RCS Barrier only.

There is no Potential Loss threshold associated with Primary Containment Radiation. Develo13er Netes: The reading should be determined assuming tae instantaneous-release and dispersal of the reactor eoolant Hobie gas and iodine inventory, with RCS activity at Technical Specification allowable limits, into the primary containment atmosphere. Using RCS activity at Technical Specification alfo,.v,able limits aligns this threshold with IC SU3. Also, RCS activity at tais level will typically result in primary coHtainment 142

NEI 99 01 (RevisieH 6) Nevemeer 2012 llWR DAEC CONTAINMENT BARRIER THRESHOLDS: The Primary Containment Barrier includes the drywell, the wetwell, their respective interconnecting paths, and other connections up to and including the outermost containment isolation valves. Containment Barrier thresholds are used as criteria for escalation of the ECL from Alert to a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency.

1. Primary Containment Conditions Loss l .A and 1.B Rapid UNPLANNED loss of primary containmeat drywell pressure (i.e., not attributable to drywell spray or condensation effects) following an initial pressure increase indicates a loss of primary contaiameatdrywell integrity. Primary coatainmeatDrywell pressure should increase as a result of mass and energy release into the primary containment from a LOCA. Thus, primary coataiamentdrywell pressure not increasing under these conditions indicates a loss of primary containment integrity.

These thresholds rely on operator recognition of an unexpected response for the condition and therefore a specific value is not assigned. The unexpected (UNPLANNED) response is important because it is the indicator for a containment bypass condition. Loss l.C The use of the modifier "direct" in defining the release path discriminates against release paths through inte1facing liquid systems or minor release pathways, such as instrument lines, not protected by the Primary Containment Isolation System (PCIS). The existence of a filter is not considered in the threshold assessment. Filters do not remove fission product noble gases. In addition, a filter could become ineffective due to iodine and/or particulate loading beyond design limits (i.e., retention ability has been exceeded) or water saturation from steam/high humidity in the release stream. Following the leakage of RCS mass into primary containment and a rise in primary containment pressure, there may be minor radiological releases associated with allowable primary containment leakage through various penetrations or system components. Minor releases may also occur if a primary containment isolation valve(s) fails to close but the primary containment atmosphere escapes to an enclosed system. These releases do not constitute a loss or potential loss of primary containment but should be evaluated using the Recognition Category R ICs. 145

Loss 1.D EOPs may direct primary containment isolation valve logic(s) to be intentionally bypassed, even if offsite radioactivity release rate limits will be exceeded. Under these conditions with a valid primary containment isolation signal, the containment should also be considered lost if primaiy containment venting is actually perf01med. Intentional venting of primary containment for primary containment pressure or combustible gas control to the secondary containment and/or the environment is a Loss of the Containment. Venting for primaiy containment pressure control when not in an accident situation (e.g., to control pressure below the drywell high pressure scram setpoint) does not meet the threshold condition. DAEC CONTAINMENT BARRIER THRESHOLDS (cont.): DA.EC CONTAIN~iENT BARRIER TIIRE8HOLD8: Potential Loss I.A The threshold pressure is the primary containmenfforus internal design pressure. Structural acceptance testing demonstrates the capability of the primary containment to resist pressures greater than the internal design pressure. A pressure of this magnitude is greater than those expected to result from any design basis accident and, thus, represent a Potential Loss of the Containment barrier. Potential Loss 1.B If hydrogen concentration reaches or exceeds the lower flammability limit, as defined in plant EOPs, in an oxygen rich environment, a potentially explosive mixture exists. If the combustible mixture ignites inside the primary containment, loss of the Containment barrier could occur. Potential Loss l .C The Heat Capacity Temperature Limit (HC+L) is the highest suppression pool temperature from which Emergency RPV Depressurization will not raise:

The HC+L is a function of RPV pressure, suppression pool temperature and suppression pool water level.

2. RPV Water Level There is no Loss threshold associated with RPV Water Level.

Potential Loss 2.A The Potential Loss threshold is identical to the Fuel Clad Loss RPV Water Level threshold 2.A. The Potential Loss requirement for Primary Containment Flooding indicates adequate core cooling cannot be restored and maintained and that core damage is possible. BWR EPGs/SAGs specify the conditions that require primary containment flooding. When primary containment flooding is required, the EPGs are exited and SAGs are entered. Entry into SAGs is a logical escalation in response to the inability to restore and maintain adequate core cooling. 148

NEI 99 0 l (Revisioa 6) Novefflber 2012 BWR CONV..ImiENT BARRIER THRE8HOLD8: PRA studies indicate that the condition of this Potential Loss threshold could be a core melt sequence which, if not corrected, could lead to RPV failure and increased potential for primary containment failure. In conjunction with the RPV water level Loss thresholds in the Fuel Clad and RCS barrier columns, this threshold results in the declaration of a General Emergency. Develeper Netes: The phrase, "Primary containment flooding required," should be modified to agree with the site specific EOP phrase indicating eKit from all EOPs and entry to the SAGs (e.g., diy.vell flooding required:;.etc.).

3. Primary Containment Isolation Failure These thresholds address incomplete containment isolation that allows an UNISOLABLE direct release to the environment.

Loss 3.A The 1:1se of the modifier "direct" in defining the release path discriminates against release paths through m.terfacing liquid systefns or minor release patlnvays, such as instrument lines, not protected by the Primary Containment Isolation System (PCIS). The existence of a filter is not considered in the threshold assessment. Filters do not remove fission product noble gases. In addition, a filter could become ineffective due to iodine and/or particulate loading beyond design limits (i.e., retention ability has been e1weeded) or 1,vater satura-tion from steam/high hlHTiidity in the release stream. Follm:ving the leakage of RCS mass into primary containment and a rise m. primary containment pressure, there may be minor radiological releases associated with allowable primary containment leakage thrnagh various penetrations or system components. Minor releases may also occur if a primary containment isolation valve(s) fails to close but the primary containment atmosphere escapes to an enclosed system.

Under these conditions vlith a valid primary containment isolation signal, the containment sho1:1ld also be considered lost if prime:Fy containment venting is actually performed. Intentional venting of primary containment for primary containment pressure or combustible gas control to the secondary containment and/or the environment is a Loss of the Containment. Venting for primary containment press..tre control ween not in an accident situation (e.g., to control press*dre belov1 the d1ywell high pressure scram setpoint) does not meet the threshold condition. 149

4. Primary Containment Radiation
   . There is no Loss threshold associated with Primary Containment Radiation.

Potential Loss 4.A The drywell radiation monitor reading corresponds to an instantaneous release of all reactor coolant mass into the primary coatainn1eatdrywell, assuming that 20% of the fuel cladding has failed. The radiation monitor reading for the torus corresponds to an instantaneous release of all reactor coolant mass directly into the torus, assuming that 20% of the fuel cladding has failed. This level of fuel clad failure is well above that used to determine the analogous Fuel Clad Barrier Loss and RCS Barrier Loss thresholds. NUREG-1228, Source Estimations During/ncident Response to Severe Nuclear Power Plant Accidents, indicates the fuel clad failure must be greater than approximately 20% in order for there to be a major release of radioactivity requiring offsite protective actions. For this condition to exist, there must already have been a loss of the RCS Barrier and the Fuel Clad Barrier. It is therefore prudent to treat this condition as a potential loss of containment which would then escalate the emergency classification level to a General Emergency. D~releper Notes: NUREG 1228, Sour-cc Estimatiom Di:trb9g Incident Response to Severe }lucleer Power ,.12/:e,it Aeeitlcnts, provides the aasis for using the 20% fuel claddiHg failure value.

2) Incorporated along with parameter and value thresholds (e.g., a fuel clad loss 1.vould have 2 thresholds such as "CETs > 1200°P" a-Rd "Core Cooling Red entry conditions met".
3) Used in lie:u of paran1eters and values for all thresholds.

With Ofle mc.ception, if a decision is made to include the CSFST eased thresholds, then all sueh allo1.ved thresholds m:ust ae :usecl iH the table (e.g., it is not permissiale to use only the C OraRge tenninus as a potential loss of the fuel clad barrier threshold and disregard all other G8F8T based thresholds). The ofle exception is the RC8 IH.-tegrity (P) GSFST. Because of the complmdty of the P Red decision point that relies OH aa assessment a pressure temperature curve, a P Red condition may be used as an RG8 potential loss threshold 1.vithout the need to incorporate the other CSF8T basecl thresholds. 160

1-lBI 99 01 (RevisioH 6) 1-fovember 2012 ~'R RCS B1\RRIER THRESHOLDS: The RCS Ban-ier includes the RCS primary side and its connections up to and including the pressurizer safety and relief valves, and other connections up to and including the primary isolation val,;es. RCS 01 SC Tu.he Leah:age Loss 1.A This threshold is based on an U}USOL'\BLE RCS leak of sufficient size to require an automatic or manual actuation of the Emergency Core Cooling System (EGGS). This condition clearly represents a loss of the RCS Barrier. This threshold is applicable to unidentified and pressl:H'e bouedary leakage, as well as idefitified leakage. It is also applicable to UNISOL}..BLE RCS leakage through an interfacing system. The mass loss may be into any location inside containment, to the secondary side (i.e., steam generator tube leakage) or outside of coetainment. A steam generator with primary to secondary leakage of sufficient 1nageitude to require a safety injection is considered to be RUPTURED. If a RUPTURED steam generator is also FAULTED outside of contait'lment, the declaration escalates to a Site z'\.rea Emergency since the Containment Barrier Loss threshold I .A will also be met.

  • Potential Loss 1.l..

This threshold is based on an UNISOLABLE RCS leak that results in the ieability to maintaiR pressurizer level 1.vithin specified limits by operation of a normally esed eharging (makeep) pmnp, but an EGGS (SI) acteation has not occurred. The threshold is met ween an 013erating procecklfe, or operating crev.r supervision, directs that a standby charging (makeup) pum.p be placed in service to restore and maintain pressmizer level. . This threshold is applicable to unidentified and pressure boendary leakage, as well as identified leakage. It is also applicable to U}HSOLABLE RCS leakage throaga an interfacing system. TJ:ie mass loss may be into any locatioa iaside containn'lent, to the secondary side (i.e., steam generator tube leakage) or outside of containment. If a leaking steam generator is also FAULTED outside of containment, the declaration escalates to a Site i\rea Emergency .since the Containment Barrier Loss threshold l .A will also be met. Poteatial Loss l.B This coadition iadicates an Emtreme challenge to the integrity of the RCS presslH'e boundary due to pressurized thennal shock a transient that causes rapid RCS cooldown \.Vhile the RCS is in Mode 3 or higher (i.e., hot and pressurized). 165

1'mI 99 01 (Revisiea 6) 1'fovefflaer 2012 Potential Loss 4.A The site specific pressure is the containment design pressure. For 13laats that have implemented Westinghouse Owners Group Effiergency Res13onse G-uidelines, the pressure value in Potential Loss 4.A is that used for the ContaiBment Red Path. If the GoBtainment G8F8T contains more than one Red Pata due to other depeBdencies (e.g., status . of containment isolation), enter the highest containment press\ire value shovm on the tree. This is typically the containment design pressure. P\VR GONTSl}fMfil'ff B,'\R..~IER Thresholds: Potential Loss 4.B D01,relo13ers may enter the miBimum containment atmospheric hydrogen concentration necessary to support a hydrogen bum (i.e., the lower deflagration limit). A concurrent containmeBt oxygen concentration may be included if the plant has this indication available in the Control R-0om. Potential Loss 4.C Enter the site specific pressure setpoint value that ach1ates containment pressure control systems (e.g., containment spray). Also enter the site specific containment pressure control Sj'Stem,'equipment that should be operating per design if the eontainmeflt pressure setpoint is reaclled. If desired, specific coHdition indicatioBs sucll as parameter valses can also be eBtered (e.g., a containment spnty flov,r rate less than a certain value). This threshold is not 8.jJJ3licable to tlle U.S. Evolutionary Power Reactor (EPR) design. J}/estinghouse ERG Plants As a potential loss indication, developers should consider including a thi=eslwld the san1e as, or sin1ilar to, "Containment Red eHtry conditions met" in accordance with the guidance at the front of this section. Other Indications Loss and/or Potential Loss 5.A Tllis sl:lbcategory addresses other site specific thresholds that may be included to indicate loss or potential loss of the Containment barrier based on plant specific design characteristics not considered in the generic guidance.

A SECURITY CONDITION does not involve a HOSTILE ACTION. HOSTILE ACTION: An act toward DAEC or its persom1el 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. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. HOSTILE ACTION should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the nuclear power plant. Non-

These systems are classified as safety-related. Basis: This IC addresses events that pose a threat to plant personnel or SAFETY SYSTEM equipment, and thus represent a potential degradation in the level of plant safety. Security events which do not meet one of these EALs are adequately addressed by the requirements of IO CFR f-73. 71 or 10_-CFR-§-50.72. Security events assessed as HOSTILE ACTIONS are classifiable under ICs HAI, HSI and HGl. Timely and accurate communications between DAEC Security Shift Supervision and the Control Room is essential for proper classification of a security-related event. Classification of these events will initiate appropriate threat-related notifications to plant personnel and GR:Goffsite response organizations. 182

NEI 99 QI (RevisieR a) Ne:vember 2Q12 Security plans and terminology are based on the guidance provided by NEI 03-12, Template for the Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan [and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Security Program]. 183

Training on security event confirmation and classification is controlled due to the nature of Safeguards and 10 CFR § 2.39Q information. EAL HUI .2 addresses the receipt of a credible security threat. The credibility of the threat is assessed in accordance with Abnormal Operating Procedure (AOP) 914, Security Events. :fsite-specific proeedure). EAL HUl.3 addresses the threat from the impact of an aircraft on the plant. The NRC Headquarters Operations Officer (HOO) will communicate to the licensee if the threat involves an aircraft. The status and size of the plane may also be provided by NORAD through the NRC. Validation of the threat is performed in accordance with (site specific procedure) Abnormal Operating Procedure (AOP) 914, Security Events.-:- Emergency plans and implementing procedures are public documents; therefore, EALs should do not incorporate Security-sensitive information.

OPERATING BASIS EARTHQUAKE (OBE): An QBE is vibratory ground motion for which those features of a nuclear power plant necessary for continued operation without undue risk to the health and safety of the public will remain functional. Basis: This IC addresses a seismic event that results in accelerations at the plant site greater than those specified for an Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE}1". An earthquake greater than an OBE but less than a Safe ShutdownDesign Basis Earthquake (.g.sgDBE)~ should have no significant impact on safety-related systems, structures and components; however, some time may be required for the plant staff to ascertain the actual post-event condition of the plant (e.g., performs walk-downs and post-event inspections). Given the time necessary to perform walk-downs and inspections, and fully understand any impacts, this event represents a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Event verification with external sources should not be necessary during or following an OBE. Earthquakes of this magnitude should be readily felt by on-site personnel and recognized as a seismic event (e.g., typieal lateml aeeeleratioB:s are iB: fficeess of 0.08g).

OBE events are detected in accordance with AOP 901. The QBE is associated with a peak horizontal acceleration of+/- 0.06g. Depending upon the plant mode at the time of the event, escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CA6 or -SMSAS. Develef)eF Netes: This "site specific indication that a seismic event met or exceeded QBE limits" should be based OH the indicatioHs, alanns and displays of site specific seismic monitoring equipment. Indicatioas described in the EAL should be limited to those that are immediately w;ailable to Coatrol Room personae! and vmich can be readily assessed.

Basis: This IC addresses the magnitude and extent of FIRES that may be indicative of a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. EALHU4.l The intent of the 15-minute duration is to size the FIRE and to discriminate against small FIRES that are readily extinguished (e.g., smoldering waste paper basket). In addition to alarms, other indications of a FIRE could be a drop in fire main pressure, automatic activation of a suppression system, etc. Upon receipt, operators will take prompt actions to confirm the validity of an initial fire alarm, indication, or report. For EAL assessment purposes, the emergency declaration clock starts at the time that the initial alarm, indication, or report was received, and not the time that a subsequent verification action was performed. Similarly, the fire duration clock also starts at the time of receipt of the initial alarm, indication or report. EALHU4.2 This EAL addresses receipt of a single fire alarm, and the existence of a FIRE is not verified (i.e., proved or disproved) within 30-minutes of the alarm. Upon receipt, operators will take prompt actions to confirm the validity of a single fire alarm. For EAL assessment purposes, the 30-minute clock starts at the time that the initial alarm was received, and not the time that a subsequent verification action was performed. A single fire alarm, absent other indication( s) of a FIRE, may be indicative of equipment failure or a spurious activation, and not an actual FIRE. For this reason, additional time is allowed to verify the validity of the alarm. The 30-minute period is a reasonable amount of time to determine if an actual FIRE exists; however, after that time, and absent information to the contrary, it is assumed that an actual FIRE is in progress. 192

NEI 99 QI (Revisiea ~) Nev@mber 2Ql2 If an actual FIRE is verified by a report from the field, then EAL HU4. l is immediately applicable, and the emergency must be declared if the FIRE is not extinguished within 15-minutes of the report. If the alarm is verified to be due to an equipment failure or a spurious activation, and this verification occurs within 30-minutes of the receipt of the alarm, then this EAL is not applicable and no emergency declaration is warranted. EALHU4.3 In addition to a FIRE addressed by EAL HU4. l or EAL HU4.2, a FIRE within the plant or ISFSI PROTECTED AREA not extinguished within 60-minutes may also potentially degrade the level of plant safety. This basis extends to a FIRE occurring within the PROTECTED AREA of an ISFSI located outside the plant PROTECTED AREA. [Sentence for plants with an I8F8I outside the plant Protected Area] EALHU4.4 If a FIRE within the plant or ISFSI [forplB:nts with en f,STS! eutsid-e theplemt PretecledAreB:] PROTECTED AREA is of sufficient size to require a response by an offsite firefighting agency (e.g., a local town Fire Department), then the level of plant safety is potentially degraded. The dispatch of an offsite firefighting agency to the site requires an emergency declaration only if it is needed to actively support firefighting efforts because the fire is beyond the capability of the Fire Brigade to extinguish. Declaration is not necessary if the agency resources are placed on stand-by, or supporting post-extinguishment recovery or investigation actions. Basis-Related Requirements from Appendix Rand NFPA-805 Criterion 3 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50 states in part that "strnctures, systems, and components important to safety shall be designed and located to minimize, consistent with other safety requirements, the probability and effect of fires and explosions." The Nuclear Safety Goal ("NSG") in NFPA 805, Section 1.3.1 states, "The nuclear safety goal is to provide reasonable assurance that a fire during any operational mode and plant configuration will not prevent the plant from achieving and maintaining the fuel in a safe and stable condition." When considering the effects of fire, those systems associated with achieving and maintaining safe shutdown conditions assume major importance because a safe shutdown success path, free of fire damage, must be available to meet the nuclear safety goals, objectives and performance criteria for a fire under any plant operational mode or configuration. Because fire may affect safe shutdown systems and because the loss of function of systems used to mitigate the consequences of design basis accidents under post-fire conditions does notper se impact public safety, the need to limit fire damage to systems required to achieve and maintain safe shutdown conditions is greater than the need to limit fire damage to those systems required to mitigate the consequences of design basis accidents. 193

NEI 99 g I (Re0visioa 6) No1;ember 2912 In addition, Appendix R to 10 CFR 50, requires, among other considerations, the use of 1-hour fire barriers for the enclosure of cable and equipment and associated non-safety circuits of one redundant train (G.2.c). Even though DAEC has adopted the alternate approach provided by NFPA-805 in lieu of the deterministic requirements of Appendix R, the 30-minutes to verify a single alarm as used in EAL HU4.2 is considered a reasonable amount of time to determine if an actual FIRE exists without presenting a challenge to the nuclear safety perfonnance criteria.Basis Related Reguirements from Aupendix R Appendi1, R to 10 CFR 50, states in part: Criterion 3 ofAppoodiR A to this part specifies that "Structures, systems, and componoots important to safety shall be designed and located to minimize, consistent with other safety re(ftliremeats, the probability and effect of fires and e1.plosions." Vlhen coasideriug the effects of fire, those systems associated with achieving and maintaining safe shutdown conditions assume major importance to safety because damage to them can lead to core damage resulting from loss of coolant through boil off. Because fire may affect safe shutdowa systems and because the loss of ftm.etion of systems used to mitigate the conse(ftlences of design basis accideats under post fire coaditions does not per se impact public safety, the need to limit fire damage to systems required to achi011e aad.maintain safe shutdov111 conditions is greater than the need to limit fire damage to those systems required to mitigate the consequences of design basis accidents. In addition, A.ppoodix R to 10 CFR 50, requires, among other considerations, the use of !"hour fire barriers for the enclosure of cable and equipmeat and associated non safety circuits of one redundant train (G.2.c).

NEI 99 QI (Rsvisien 6) Nevsrnber 2012 As time and conditions allow, these events require a heightened state of readiness by the plant staff and implementation of onsite protective measures (e.g., evacuation, dispersal or sheltering). The Alert declaration will also heighten the awareness of Offsite Response Organizations, allowing them to be better prepared should it be necessary to consider further actions. This IC does not apply to incidents that are accidental events, acts of civil disobedience, or otherwise are not a HOSTILE ACTION perpetrated by a HOSTILE FORCE. Examples include the crash of a small aircraft, shots from hunters, physical disputes between employees, etc. Reporting of these types of events is adequately addressed by other EALs, or the requirements of 10 CFRf-73.71 or 10 CFRf-50.72. EAL HAI .1 is applicable for any HOSTILE ACTION occurring, or that has occurred, in the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA. This includes any action directed against ffll.-the ISFSI ~ which is located outside the plant PROTECTED AREA. EAL HA 1.2 addresses the threat from the impact of an aircraft on the plant, and the anticipated arrival time is within 30 minutes. The intent ofthis EAL is to ensure that threat-related notifications are made in a timely manner so that plant personnel and GR:Goffsite response organizations are in a heightened state of readiness. This EAL is met when the threat-related information has been validated in accordance with *(Abnormal Operating Procedure (AOP) 914, Security Events site specific procedure).s. The NRC Headquarters Operations Officer (HOO) will communicate to the licensee if the threat involves an aircraft. The status and size of the plane may be provided by NORAD through the NRC. In some cases, it may not' be readily apparent if an aircraft impact within the O~'ER CONTROLLED AREA was intentional (i.e., a HOSTILE ACTION). It is expected, although not certain, that notification by an appropriate Federal agency to the site would clarify this point. In this case, the appropriate federal agency is intended to be NORAD, FBI, FAA or NRC. The emergency declaration, including one based on other ICs/EALs, should nof be unduly delayed while awaiting notification by a Federal agency. Emergency plans and implementing procedures are public documents; therefore, EALs should do not incorporate Security-sensitive information.

Definitions: SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are 219

NEI 99 0 l (Revisiea a) Ne 1,rember 2012 classified as safety-related.A system regaired for safe plant operation, eooling dovm the plant aad-/or plaeing it in the eold shutdovm eondition, inernding the ECC8. Systems elassified- as safety related. UNPLANNED: A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. Basis: This IC addresses the difficulty associated with monitoring normal plant conditions without the ability to obtain SAFETY SYSTEM parameters from within the Control Room. This condition is a precursor to a more significant event and represents a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant. As used in this EAL, an "inability to monitor" means that values for one or more of the listed parameters cannot be determined from within the Control Room. This situation would require a loss of all of the Control Room sources for the given parameter(s). _For example, the reactor power level cannot be determined from any analog, digital and recorder source within the Control Room. 220

NEI 99 01 (Re,,risioH '3) November 2012 An event involving a loss of plant indications, annunciators and/or display systems is evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 (and associated guidance in NUREG-1022) to determine if an NRC event report is required. The event would be reported if it significantly impaired the capability to perform emergency assessments. In particular, emergency assessments necessary to implement abnormal operating procedures, emergency operating procedures, and emergency plan implementing procedures addressing emergency classification, accident assessment, or protective action decision-making. This EAL is focused on a selected subset of plant parameters associated with the key safety functions of reactivity control, core cooling [PWR] I RPV level [B WR] and RCS heat removal. The loss of the ability to determine one or more of these parameters from within the Control Room is considered to be more significant than simply a reportable condition. In addition, if all indication sources for one or more of the listed parameters are lost, then the ability to determine the values of other SAFETY SYSTEM parameters may be impacted as well. For example, if the value for reactor vessel level [PWR1 / RPV water level [BVlR] cannot be determined from the indications and recorders on a main control board, the SPDS or the plant computer, the availability of other parameter values may be compromised as well. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of indication. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC SA-2.J_. Devel0per Nates: In the PV.Z:R parameter list column, the "site specific number" should reflect the 1ninimum number of steam generators necessary for plant cooldovm and shutdmvn. This criterion may also specify whether the level value should be 1.vide range, narrov,r range or both, depending upon the monitormg requiremen-ts memergency operati-Bg procedures. ,, DEY,'elopers may specify Gither pressurizer or reactor vessel level in the PWR pararn9ter column entry for RCS Level. The IllHHber, type, location and layout of Control Room iadications, and tac range of possible failure modes, can challenge the ability of an operator to accurately determine, within the time period available for emergency classification assessments, ifa specific percentage of indications have been lost. The approach used in this EAL facilitates prompt and accurate emergency classification assessments by focusing on the indications for a selected subset of parameters. By focusing on the availability of the specified parameter values, instead of the sources of those values, the EAL recognizes and accommodates the vlide variety of indications in nuclear pmver plant Control Rooms. Indication types and sources may be analog or digital, safety related or not, primary or alternate, individual meter value or computer group display, etc. A loss of plant annunciators '.vill be evaluated for reportability in accordance ',vith 10 CFR 50.72 (and the associated guidance in NUREG 1022), and reported if it significantly impairs tho capability to perform emergency assessments. Compensatory measures for a loss of am1unciation can be readily implemented and may inch1de increased monitoring of main control boards and more freq-aent plant roands by non licensed operators. Their alerting function notwithstanding, annunciators do not provide the parameter valaes or specific component status information used to operate the plant, or process through A.OPs or EOPs. Based on these considerations, a loss of annunciation is considered to be adequately addressed by reportability criteria, and therefore not included in tais IC and EAL. 221

This condition is a precursor to a more significant event and represents a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. For EAL SU4. l, RM-4104 Hi-Hi Radiation Alarm has been chosen because it is operationally significant, is readily recognizable by the Control Room Operations Staff, and is set at a level corresponding to noble gas release rate, after 30-minute delay and decay of 1 Ci/sec. For EAL SU4.2, coolant samples exceeding the 2.0 µCi/gm dose equivalent I-131concentration require prompt action by DAEC Technical Specifications and are representative of minor fuel cladding degradation.

SU5.3 Leakage from the RCS to a location outside containment greater than 25 gpm for 15 minutes or longer. Definitions: UNISOLABLE: An open or breached system line that cannot be isolated, remotely or locally. Basis: This IC addresses RCS leakage which may be a precursor to a more significant event. In this case, RCS leakage has been detected and operators, following applica~le procedures, have been unable to promptly isolate the leak. This condition is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. EAL SU5.l and EAL SU5.2 are focused on a loss of mass from the RCS due to "unidentified leakage", "pressure boundary leakage" or "identified leakage" (as these leakage types are defined in the plant Technical Specifications). EAL SU5.3 addresses a RCS mass loss caused by an UNISOLABLE leak through an interfacing system. These EALs thus apply to leakage into the containment, a secondary-side system-fe;g:, steam generator t1:tbe leakage in a P'NR) or a location outside of containment.

 ,The leak rate values for each EAL were selected because they are usually observable with normal Control Room indications. Lesser values typically require time-consuming calculations to determine (e.g., a mass balance calculation). EAL SU5.l uses a lower value that reflects the greater significance of unidentified or pressure boundary leakage.

225

NEI 99 Q1 (R-evisiea {i) Nevember 2012 The release of mass from the RCS due to the as-designed/expected operation of a relief valve does not warrant an emergency classification. For PVi'Rs, an emergency classification *.vould be required if a mass loss is caused by a relief valve that is not functioning as designed/expected (e.g., a relief valve sticks open and the line flow cannot be isolated). For B'NRs, aA stuck-open Safety Relief Valve (SRV) or SRV leakage is not considered either identified or unidentified leakage by Technical Specifications and, therefore, is not applicable to this EAL. 226

NEI 99 01 (Revisisa <:i) Nsvember 2012 The 15-minute threshold duration allows sufficient time for prompt operator actions to isolate the leakage, if possible.

2. -A subsequent automatic (trip [PVlRJ / scram [EVlRJ) is successful in shutting down the reactor.

Definitions: Basis: This IC addresses a failure of the RPS to initiate or complete an automatic or manual reactor ftrip [PJiVR] I scram [BJf'R]) that results in a reactor shutdown, and either a subsequent operator manual action taken at the reactor control consoles or an automatic (tri-p [PJiVR] I scram [.BWR]) is successful in shutting down the reactor. _This event is a precursor to a more significant condition and thus represents a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Following the failure on an automatic reactor (trip [PJiVR] I scram [BWR]), operators will promptly initiate manual actions at the reactor control consoles to shutdown the reactor (e.g., initiate a manual reactor (tri-p [PWR] / scram [BWR])). If these manual actions are successful in shatting down the reactor, core heat generation ;villscram quickly fall to a level within the capabilities of the plant's decay heat removal systems. 231

NEI 99 Ql (Re:visieH <ii) Nevember 2012 If an initial manual reactor (trip [PWR] l scram [BWR]) is unsuccessful, operators will promptly take manual action at another location(s) on the reactor control consoles to shutdown the reactor (e.g., initiate a manual reactor (trip [PWR] I scram [BWR])) using a different switch). Depending upon several factors, the initial or subsequent effort to manually (trip [PWR] I scram [BR"1R]) the reactor, or a concurrent plant condition, may lead to the generation of an automatic reactor~ [PTVR] I scram [B WR]) signal. If a subsequent manual or automatic (trip [PWcR] I scram [B WR]) is successful in shutting down the reactor, core heat generation will quickly fall to a level within the capabilities of the plant's decay heat removal systems. A manual action at the reactor control consoles is any operator action, or set of actions, which causes the control rods to be rapidly inserted into the core (e.g., initiating a manual reactor~ [PTf'R] / scram [BTf'R])). This action does not include manually driving in control rods or implementation of boron injection strategies. Actions taken at back-panels or other locations within the Control Room, or any location outside the Control Room, are not considered to be "at the reactor control consoles". Taking the Reactor Mode Switch to SHUTDOWN is considered to be a manual scram action. [BWR] The plant response to the failure of an automatic or manual reactor (trip [PWRJ / scram [BV/RJ) will vary based upon several factors including the reactor power level prior to the event, availability of the condenser, performance of mitigation equipment and actions, other concurrent plant conditions, etc. If subsequent operator manual actions taken at the reactor control consoles are also unsuccessful in shutting down the reactor, then the emergency classification level will escalate to an Alert via IC SA.§{i. Depending upon the plant response, escalation is also possible via IC FAl. Absent the plant conditions needed to meet either IC SA.§{i or FAI, an Unusual Event declaration is appropriate for this event. The reactor should be considered shutdown when it is producing less heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the SAFETY SYSTEMS are designed (typically 3 to 5% power).A reactor shutdov;n is detennined in accordance with applicable Emergency Operating Procedure criteria. Should a reactor (trip [PWRJ / scram [B'.VR]) signal be generated as a result of plant work (e.g., RPS setpoint testing), the following classification guidance should be applied.

  • If the signal causes a plant transient that should have included an automatic reactor~

[PWR] I scram [B')/R.J) and the RPS fails to automatically shutdown the reactor, then this IC and the EALs are applicable, and should be evaluated.

  • If the signal does not cause a plant transient and the (trip [PWR] / scram [BWRJ) failure is determined through other means (e.g., assessment oftest results), then this IC and the EALs are not applicable and no classification is warranted.

NEI 99 Q1 (R-evision 6) No1,zember 2Ql2 Definitions: SAFETY SYSTEM: A system reguired for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are classified as safety-related.A. system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold slHitdoWH: condition, includiH:g the ECCK 8ysterns classified as safety related. UNPLANNED: A parameter change or a11 event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. Basis: This IC addresses the difficulty associated with monitoring rapidly changing plant conditions during a transient without the ability to obtain SAFETY SYSTEM parameters from within the Control Room. During this condition, the margin to a potential fission product barrier challenge is reduced. It thus represents a potential substantial degradation in the level of safety of the plant. 247

NEI 99 0 l (Revisioa <:i) November 2012 As used in this EAL, an "inability to monitor" means that values for one or more of the listed parameters cannot be determined from within the Control Room. This situation would require a loss of all of the Control Room sources for the given parameter(s). For example, the reactor power level cannot be determined from any analog, digital and recorder source within the Control Room. An event involving a loss of plant indications, annunciators and/or display systems is evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 (and associated guidance in NUREG-1022) to determine if an NRC event report is required. The event would be reported if it significantly impaired the capability to perform emergency assessments. In particular, emergency assessments necessary to implement abnormal operating procedures, emergency operating procedures, and emergency plan implementing procedures addressing emergency classification, accident assessment, or protective action decision-making. This EAL is focused on a selected subset of plant parameters associated with the key safety functions of reactivity control, core cooling [PWR] I RPV level [BTVR] and RCS heat removal. The loss of the ability to determine one or more of these parameters from within the Control Room is considered to be more significant than simply a reportable condition. In addition, if all indication sources for one or more of the listed parameters are lost, then the ability to determine the values of other SAFETY SYSTEM parameters may be impacted as well. For example, if the value for reactor vessel level [PT¥R] I RPV water level [B JYR] cannot be determined from the indications and recorders on a main control board, the SPDS or the plant computer, the availability of other parameter values may be compromised as well. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of indication. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via ICs FS 1 or IC AS+RS 1. Develef)eF Netes: In the PWR parameter list column, the "site specific number" should reflect the minimum B:Umber of steam generators necessary for plant cooldovm and shutdo~;m. This criterion may also specify whether the }e>,rel value shoeld be *.vi.de range, naHow range or both, depending ,lf)on the monitoring requirements in emergeaey operating procedures. D011elopers may specify either pressHFizer or reactor vessel level in the PWR parameter column entry for RCS Le11el. De>,relopers should consider if the "transient events" list needs to be modified to better reflect site specific plant operating characteristics and mcpected responses. The B:liB'laer, tY13e, location anel. layout of Control Room inel.ieations, B:B:el. the raH:ge of possible failHFe modes, can challenge the ability of an op erffl:or to accurately determine, *.vithin the time period available for emergency classification assessments, if a specific percentage of indications have been lost. The approach used in this EAL facilitates prompt and accurate emergency classification assessments by focusing on the inel.ications for a selecteel. subset of parameters. By focusing on the availability of the specified parameter values, instead of the soHFces of those values, the EAL recognizes and accommodates the wide variety of indications in nuclear pmver plant Control Rooms. Indication types and sournes may be analog or digital, safety related or not, primary or alternate, individual meter value or computer group display, etc. 248

NEI 99 0 l (RevisioH l:i) November 2012 SA6SA6 ECL: Alert Initiating Condition: Automatic or manual (trip [P1,VR] I scram [BWR]) fails to shutdown the reactor, and subsequent manual actions taken at the reactor control consoles are not successful in shutting down the reactor. Operating Mode Applicability: Pov,rer Operationl.,_1 Note: A manual action is any operator action, or set of actions, which causes the control rods to be rapidly inserted into the core, and does not include manually driving in control rods or implementation of boron injection strategies.

Definitions: Basis: This IC addresses a failure of the RPS to initiate or complete an automatic or manual reactor ftrip [PWR] / scram [BWR]) that results in a reactor shutdown, and subsequent operator manual actions taken at the reactor control consoles to shutdown the reactor are also unsuccessful. This condition represents an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. An emergency declaration is required even if the reactor is subsequently shutdown by an action taken away from the reactor control consoles since this event entails a significant failure of the RPS. A manual action at the reactor control consoles is any operator action, or set of actions, which causes the control rods to be rapidly inserted into the core ( e.g., initiating a manual reactor ftrip [P1¥R] I scram [B1¥R])). This action does not include manually driving in control rods or implementation of boron injection strategies. If this action(s) is unsuccessful, operators would immediately pursue additional manual actions at locations away from the reactor control consoles (e.g., locally opening breakers). _Actions taken at back-panels or other locations within the Control Room, or any location outside the Control Room, are not considered to be "at the reactor control consoles.:.".,. 251

NEI 99 01 (R-evision 6) Novsniber 2012 Taking the Reactor Mode Switch to SHUTDOWN is considered to be a manual scram action. [BWR] 252

NEI 99 01 (ReYisisa {i) Ns1,<e111ber 2012 The plant response to the failure of an automatic or manual reactor (trip [PWR] I scram [.B WR]) will vary based upon several factors including the reactor power level prior to the event, availability of the condenser, performance of mitigation equipment and actions, other concurrent plant conditions, etc. If the failure to shutdown the reactor is prolonged enough to cause a challenge to the core cooliBg [:PWRJ / RPV water level [B\"VR] or RCS heat removal safety functions, the emergency classification level will escalate to a Site Area Emergency via IC SS.§..§. Depending upon plant responses and symptoms, escalation is also possible via IC FS 1. Absent the plant conditions needed to meet either iC SS.§..§ or FSl, an Alert declaration is appropriate for this event. It is recognized that plant responses or symptoms may also require an Alert declaration in accordance with the Recognition Category F ICs; however, this IC and EAL are included to ensure a timely emergency declaration. The reactor should be considered shutdown when it is producing less heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the SAFETY SYSTEMS are designed (jypically 3 to 5% power).A reactor shutdovm is determined in accordance *.vith applicable Emergency Operating :Procedure criteria. DevelBfleF Netes: This IC is applicable in any Mode in which the actual reactor pov,'er level could exceed the power level at *.vhich the reactor is coBsidered shutdovm.

NEI 99 01 (RevisieB ~) Nevember 2012 Definitions: EXPLOSION: A rapid, violent and catastrophic failure of a piece of equipment due to combustion, chemical reaction or overpressurization. A release of steam (from high energy lines or components) or an electrical component failure (caused by short circuits, grounding, arcing, etc.) should not automatically be considered an explosion. Such events may require a post-event inspection to determine if the attributes of an explosion are present. FIRE: Combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute FIRES. Observation of flame is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are classified as safety-related.A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdovm condition, including the EGGS. Systems classified as safety related. VISIBLE DAMAGE: Damage to a component or structure that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analysis. The visual impact of the damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the affected component or structure. Damage resulting from an equipment failure and limited to the failed component (i.e., the failure did not cause damage to a structure or any other equipment) is not VISIBLE DAMAGE. EITHER of the followmg:

1. Event damage has caused indications of degraded perfonnance in at least one train of a SAFETY SYSTEM needed fur the current operating mode.

OR

2. The event has caused VISIBLE DAM.1\GE to a SAFETY SYSTEM component or structllre needed for the current operating mode.

Basis: This IC addresses a hazardous event that causes damage to SAFETY SYSTEMS needed for the current operating mode. In order to provide the appropriate context for consideration of an ALERT classification, the hazardous event must have caused indications of degraded SAFETY SYSTEM performance in one train, and there must be either indications of performance issues with the second SAFETY SYSTEM train or VISIBLE DAMAGE to the second train such that the potential exists for this second SAFETY SYSTEM train to have performance issues. In other words, in order for this EAL to be classified, the hazardous event must occur, at least one SAFETY SYSTEM train must have indications of degraded performance. and the second SAFETY SYSTEM train must have indications of degraded perfonnance or VISIBLE DAMAGE such that the potential exists for perfonnance issues. Note that this second SAFETY SYSTEM train is from the same SAFETY SYSTEM that has indications of degraded performance for criteria SA98. l .b. l of this EAL; commercial nuclear power plants are designed to be able to support single system issues without compromising public health and safety from radiological events. An event affecting a single-train SAFETY SYSTEM (i.e., there are indications of degraded performance and/or VISIBLE DAMAGE affecting the one train) would not be classified under SAS because the two-train impact criteria that underlie the EALs and Bases would not be met. If 258

A loss of all AC power compromises the performance of all SAFETY SYSTEMS requiring electric power including those necessary for emergency core cooling, containment heat removal/pressure control, spent fuel heat removal and the ultimate heat sink. A prolonged loss of these buses will lead to a loss of one or more fission product barriers. In addition, fission product barrier monitoring capabilities may be degraded under these conditions. The EAL should require declaration of a General Emergency prior to meeting the thresholds for IC FG 1. This will allow additional time for implementation of offsite protective actions. Escalation of the emergency classification from Site Area Emergency will occur if it is projected that power cannot be restored to at least one AC emergency essential bus by the end of the analyzed 4 hour station blackout coping period. Beyond this time, plant responses and event trajectory are subject to greater uncertainty, and there is an increased likelihood of challenges to multiple fission product barriers. 269

NEI 99 0 l (R~P,risiaH {i) N0Ye1Rber 2012 The estimate for restoring at least one essentialem.erge13:ey bus should be based on a realistic appraisal of the situation. Mitigation actions with a low probability of success should not be used as a basis for delaying a classification upgrade. The goal is to maximize the time available to prepare for, and implement, protective actions for the public. 270

NEI 99 Q1 (Revision 6) November :Wl2 The EAL will also require a General Emergency declaration if the loss of AC power results in parameters that indicate an inability to adequately remove decay heat from the core. Developer Notes: Although this IC and EAL may be viewed as redundant to the Fission Product Barrier ICs, it is iecla.ded to provide for a more timely escalation of the emergeacy classification level. The "site specific emergeacy bases" are the buses fed by offsite or e1HergeHcy AC po\ver sources that supply power to the electrical distribution system that powers SA.FETY SYSTEMS.

A loss of Vital DC power compromises the ability to monitor and control SAFETY SYSTEMS. A sustained loss of both AC and DC power will lead to multiple challen&es to fission product barriers. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses. The 15-minute emergency declaration clock begins at the point when both EAL thresholds are met.

  • Developer Nates:

The "site specific emergeHcy buses" are the buses fed by offsite or emergency f ..G pov,z:er sources that supply pov,z:er to the electrical distribution system that powers SAFETY SYSTEMS. There is typically 1 emergency has per train of SAFETY SYSTEMS. The "site specific bus voltage value" should be based on the minimum bus voltage necessary for adequate operation of SAFETY SYSTEM equipmOHt. This voltage value should incorporate a margin of at least 15 minutes of operation before the onset of inability to operate those loads. This voltage is usually near the minimum voltage selected wheH battery sizing is performed. 273

,-~ NEI 99 Q1 (R:e¥isieB e) Nevember 2Ql2 APPENDIX B - DEFINITIONS The following definitions are taken from Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, and related regulatory guidance documents. Alert: Events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA PAG exposure levels. General Emergency: Events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or IMMINENT substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA PAG exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area. Notification of Unusual Event (NOUE}1": Events are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systemsSAFETY SYSTEMS occurs. Site Area Emergency: Events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentional damage or malicious acts; 1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; . 2) that prevent effective access to, equipment needed for~- the protection of the public. _Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA PAG exposure levels beyond the site boundary. The following are key terms necessary for overall understanding the NEI 99 OlDAEC emergency classification scheme. ** Emergency Action Level (EAL): A pre-determined, site-specific, observable threshold for an Initiating Condition that, when met or exceeded, places the plant in a given emergency classification level. Emergency Classification Level (ECL): One of a set of names or titles established by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for grouping off-normal events or conditions according to (1) potential or actual effects or consequences, and (2) resulting onsite and offsite response actions. The emergency classification levels, in ascending order of severity, are: Notification of Unusual Event (NOUE) Alert Site Area Emergency (SAE) General Emergency (GE) + This term is semstin~es shertsnsEl te Uausual Eveat (UE) er ether similar site speoifo: terminelegy. B-1

NEI 99 Q1 (Revisisn 6) Nsvember 2Ql2 Fission Product Barrier Threshold: A pre-determined, site-specific, observable threshold indicating the loss or potential loss of a fission product barrier. Initiating Condition (IC): An event or condition that aligns with the definition of one of the four emergency classification levels by virtue of the potential or actual effects or consequences. Selected terms used in Initiating Condition and Emergency Action Level statements are set in all capital letters ( e.g., ALL CAPS). These words are defined terms that have specific meanings as used in this document. The definitions of these terms are provided below. CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY: (Insert a site specific definition for this term.) Denlaper Nate -The barrier(s) between spent fuel and the environment once the spent fuel is processed for dry storage. This corresponds to the pressure boundary for the Dry Shielded Canister (DSC) shell (including the inner bottom cover plate) base metal and associated confinement boundary welds. CONTAINMENT CLOSURE: Procedurally defined actions taken to secure containment and its associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under existing plant conditions. For DAEC, this is considered to be Secondary Containment as required by Technical Specifications. CONTAINMENT CLOSURE: (Insert a site specific definition for this term.) Develeper Nate Site specific procedurally defined actions taken to secure containment and its associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under existing plant conditions. For D}.ECs, this is considered to be Secondary Containment as required by Technical Specifications.The procedurally defined"conditions or actions taken to secure containment (primary or secondary for BVlR) and its associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under shutdown conditions. DESIGN BASIS EARTHQUAKE (DBE): A DBE is vibratory ground motion for which certain (generally, safety-related) structures, systems, and components must be designed to remain functional. EXPLOSION: A rapid, violent and catastrophic failure of a piece of equipment due to combustion, chemical reaction or overpressurization. A release of steam (from high energy lines or components) or an electrical component failure (caused by short circuits, grounding, arcing, etc.) should not automatically be considered an explosion. Such events may require a post-event inspection to determine if the attributes of an explosion are present. FAULTED: The term applied to a steam generator that has a steam. leak on the secondary side of sufficient size to cause an uncontrolled drop in steam generator pressure or the steam. generator to become completely depressurized. Developer Nate This tenn is applicable to PWRs only. B-2

NEI 99 Q1 (Revisiea e) Ne:i,reffii:>er 2012 FIRE: Combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute FIRES. Observation of flame is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. HOSTAGE: A person(s) held as leverage against the station to ensure that demands will be met by the station. HOSTILE ACTION: An act toward a NPP-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. _Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. HOSTILE ACTION should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the NPPnuclear power plant._ Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e.,_-this may include violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area). HOSTILE FORCE: One or more individuals who are engaged in a determined assault, overtly or by stealth and deception, equipped with suitable weapons capable of killing, maiming, or causing destruction. IMMINENT: The trajectory of events or conditions is such that an EAL will be met within a relatively short period of time regardless of mitigation or corrective actions. INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI): A complex that is designed and constructed for the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive materials associated with spent fuel storage.

  • NORMAL LEVELS: As applied to radiological IC/EA.Ls, the highest reading in the past twenty four hours excluding the current peak value.

OPERATING BASIS EARTHOUAKE (OBE): An OBE is vibratory ground motion for which those features of a nuclear power plant necessary for continued operation without undue risk to the health and safety of the public will remain functional. OWNER CONTROLLED AREA: (Insert a site specific definition for this term.) Deyel0JJeF Nate This term is typically taken to mean the site property owned by, or otherwise under the control of, the licensee. In some cases, it may be appropriate for a licensee to define a smaller area with a perimeter closer to the plant Protected Area perimeter (e.g., a site \Vith a large OCA ,vhere some portions of the bom1dary may be a significant distance from the Protected Area). In these cases, dC'":elopers should consider Hsing the boundary defined by the Restricted or Secured 0 .vner Controlled Area (ROC1VSOCA). The area and boundary selected for scheme use must 1 be consistent with the description of the same area and boundary contained in the Secm*ity Plan. PROJECTILE: An object directed toward a NPPnuclear power plant that could cause concern for its continued operability, reliability, or personnel safety. B-3

NEI 99 QI (Revisioe 6) November 2Ql2 PROTECTED AREA:_ (IRsert a site specific defiBitioH. for this term.) DevelepeF Nate This term is typically takoo to mean (Ihe area under continuous access monitoring and control, and armed protection as described in the site Security Plan. REFUELING PATHWAY:_ (l-Hsert a site specific defffiitioB for this term.) De"lelepeF Nete This descl1f)tioH shoald iHcll:lde all the c&vities, tl:taes, caBals aBd pools throagh wliich irradiated fuel may be moved, bat Bot incladiag the reactor vessel. Includes all the cavities, tubes, canals and pools through which irradiated fuel may be moved, but not including the reactor vessel. RUPTURE(D): The coHditioR of a stecHB. geRerator iH which 13rireary to secoHdary leakage is of safficieBt FHageirude to reqaire a safety mjectioR. DeveleIJeF Nete This teffH is a1313licable to P\VRs only. SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These are typically systems are classified as safety-related. DevelepeF Nete This terFH n1ay be IBodified to ieclade the attribl:ltes of "safety related" in aeeordaHce with 10 CFR 50.2 or other site specific terminology, if desired. SECURITY CONDITION: Any Security Event as listed in the approved security contingency plan that constitutes a threat/compromise to site security, threat/risk to site personnel, or a potential degradation to the level of safety of the plant. _A SECURITY CONDITION does not involve a HOSTILE ACTION. SITE BOUNDARY: That line beyond which the land is neither owned, nor leased, nor otherwise controlled by the Company. UFSAR Figure 1.2-1 identifies the DAEC SITE BOUNDARY..,. UNISOLABLE: An open or breached system line that cannot be isolated, remotely or locally. UNPLANNED: A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. VISIBLE DAMAGE: Damage to a component or structure that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analysis. _The visual impact of the damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the affected component or structure. Damage resulting from an equipment failure and limited to the failed component (i.e., the failure did not cause damage to a structure or any other equipment) is not VISIBLE DAMAGE. B-4

e. The tlan1agetl SA.FETY SYSTEM train(s) cannot, or potentially cannot, perform its design function based on EITHER:
  • Indications of degraded performance
  • VISIBLE Di'..MAGE This IC addresses a hazardous ev:ent that causes damage to at least one train of a SAFETY SYSTEM needed for spent fuel cooling. The damage ml.lst be of sufficient magnitude that the system(s) train cannot, or potentially cannot, perform its design function. This condition reduces the margin to a loss or potential loss of the fuel clad barrier, aad therefore represents a 13otefi.tial degradation of the lei,rel of safety of the f)lant.

For EAL l.c, the first bullet addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is in service/operation since indications for it 1,vill be readily av:ailable.

(site specific area list) This IC addresses increased radiation levels that impede necessary access to areas containing equipment that must be operated manually or that req1:1ires local monitoring, in order to maintain systems needed to maintain spent fuel integrity. As 1:1sed here, 'impede' includes hindering or interfering, provided that the interference or delay is sufficient to sigmficantly* threaten necessary plant access. It is this impaired access that results in the actual or potential substantial degradation of the lcw:el of safety of the plant. This IC does not apply to anticipated temporary increases due to plalliled events. DevelapeF Nates: The value of 15mR/hr is derived from the GDC 19 value of5 rem in 30 days with adjustment for expected occupancy times. Although Section III.D.3 of"NUREG 0737, CtGtrificmioo ojT}.{]Actitm Pkm Requirements, provides that the 15 mR/hr value can be averaged over the 30 days, the value is used here 1.vithout averagie.g, as a 30 day duratiofl: implies an e*;ent potentially more significant than an Alert. The specified value of 100 mR/hr may be set to another value for a specific application with appropriate justification. EGL Assignmeat Attributes: 3 .1.2.C B-12

DUANE ARNOLD EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS TECHNICAL BASIS DOCUMENT 1 BASIS FOR EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS 1.1 OPERATING REACTORS Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Energy, contains the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations that apply to nuclear power facilities. Several of these regulations govern various aspects of an emergency classification scheme. A review of the relevant sections listed below will aid the reader in understanding the key terminology provided in Section 3.0 of this document.

  • 10 CFR § 50.47(a)(l)(i)
  • 10 CFR § 50.47(b)(4)
  • 10 CFR § 50.54(q)
  • 10 CFR § 50.72(a)
  • 10 CFR § 50, Appendix E, IV.B, Assessment Actions
  • 10 CFR § 50, Appendix E, IV.C, Activation of Emergency Organization The above regulations are supplemented by various regulatory guidance documents.

Three documents of particular relevance to NEI 99-01 are: NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-l, Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiologi,cal Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support ofNuclear Power Plants, October 1980. [Refer to Appendix 1, Emergency Action Level Guidelines for Nuclear Power Plants] NUREG-1022, Event Reporting Guidelines 10 CFR § 50. 72 and§ 50. 73 Regulatory Guide 1.101, Emergency Response Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors 1

1.2 INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI) Selected guidance in NEI 99-01 is applicable to licensees electing to use their 10 CFR 50 emergency plan to fulfill the requirements of 10 CFR 72.32 for a stand-alone ISFSI. The emergency classification levels applicable to an ISFSI are consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 50 and the guidance in NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-l. The initiating conditions germane to a 10 CFR 72.32 emergency plan (as described in NUREG-1567) are subsumed within the classification scheme for a 10 CFR 50.47 emergency plan. The generic ICs and EALs for an ISFSI are presented in Section 8, ISFSI ICs/EALs. IC E-HUl covers the spectrum of credible natural and man-made events included within the scope of an ISFSI design. This IC is not applicable to installations or facilities that may process and/or repackage spent fuel (e.g., a Monitored Retrievable Storage Facility or an ISFSI at a spent fuel processing facility). In addition, appropriate aspects of IC HUI and IC HAI should also be included to address a HOSTILE ACTION directed against an ISFSI. The analysis of potential onsite and offsite consequences of accid~ntal releases associated with the operation of an ISFSI is contained in NUREG-1140, A Regulatory Analysis on Emergency Preparedness for Fuel Cycle and Other Radioactive Material Licensees. NUREG-1140 concluded that the postulated worst-case accident involving an ISFSI has insignificant consequences to public health and safety. This evaluation shows that the maximum offsite dose to a member of the public due to an accidental release of radioactive materials would not exceed 1 rem Effective Dose Equivalent. Regarding the above information, the expectations for an offsite response to an Alert classified under a 10 CFR 72.32 emergency plan are generally consistent with those for a Notification of Unusual Event in a 10 CFR 50.47 emergency plan (e.g., to provide assistance ifrequested). Also, the licensee's Emergency Response Organization (ERO) required for 10 CFR 72.32 emergency plan is different than that prescribed for a 10 CFR 50.47 emergency plan (e.g., no emergency technical support function). 2

1.3 NRC ORDER EA-12-051 The Fukushima Daiichi accident of March 11, 2012, was the result of a tsunami that exceeded the plant's design basis and flooded the site's emergency electrical power supplies and distribution systems. This caused an extended loss of power that severely compromised the key safety functions of core cooling and containment integrity, and ultimately led to core damage in three reactors. While the loss of power also impaired the spent fuel pool cooling function, sufficient water inventory was maintained in the pools to preclude fuel damage from the loss of cooling. Following a review of the Fukushima Daiichi accident, the NRC concluded that several measures were necessary to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety under the provisions of the backfit rule, 10 CFR 50.109(a)(4)(ii). Among them was to provide each spent fuel pool with reliable level instrumentation to significantly enhance the ability of key decision-makers to allocate resources effectively following a beyond design basis event. To this end, the NRC issued Order EA-12-051, Issuance of Order to Modify Licenses with Regard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation, on March 12, 2012, to all US nuclear plants with an operating license, construction permit, or combined construction and operating license. NRC Order EA-12-051 states, in part, "All licensees ... shall have a reliable indication of the water level in associated spent fuel storage pools capable of supporting identification of the following pool water level conditions by trained personnel: ( 1) level that is adequate to support operation of the normal fuel pool cooling system, (2) level that is adequate to provide substantial radiation shielding for a person standing on the spent fuel pooLoperating deck, and (3) level where fuel remains covered and actions to implement make-up water addition should no longer be deferred." To this end, all licensees must provide:

  • A primary and back-up level instrument that will monitor water level from the normal level to the top of the used fuel rack in the pool;
  • A display in an area accessible following a severe event; and
  • Independent electrical power to each instrument channel and provide an alternate remote power connection capability.

NEI 12-02, Industry Guidance for Compliance with NRC Order EA-12-051, "To Modify Licenses with Regard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation, " provides guidance for complying with NRC Order EA-12-051. NEI 99-01, Revision 6, includes three EALs that reflect the availability of the enhanced spent fuel pool level instrumentation associated with NRC Order EA-12-051. These EALs are included within ICs RA2, RS2, and RG2. 3

2 KEY TERMINOLOGY USED IN DAEC EAL SCHEME There are several key terms that appear throughout the EAL methodology. These terms are introduced in this section to support understanding of subsequent material. As an aid to the reader, the following table is provided as an overview to illustrate the relationship of the terms to each other.

  • Basis (1) - When making an emergency classification, the Emergency Director must consider all information having a bearing on the proper assessment of an Initiating Condition. This includes the Emergency Action Level (EAL) plus the associated Operating Mode Applicability, Notes and the informing Basis information. In the Recognition Category F matrices, EALs are referred to as Fission Product Barrier Thresholds; the thresholds serve the same function as an EAL.

2.1 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVEL (ECL) One of a set of names or titles established by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for grouping off-normal events or conditions according to (1) potential or actual effects or consequences, and (2) resulting onsite and offsite response actions. The emergency classification levels, in ascending order of severity, are: Notification of Unusual Event (NOUE) Alert Site Area Emergency (SAE) General Emergency (GE) 2.1.1 Notification of Unusual Event (NOUE) Events are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases ofradioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of SAFETY SYSTEMS occurs.

Purpose:

The purpose of this classification is to assure that the first step in future response has been carried out, to bring the operations staff to a state of readiness, and to provide systematic handling of unusual event information and decision-making. 4

2.1.2 Alert Events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA PAG exposure levels.

Purpose:

The purpose of this classification is to assure that emergency personnel are readily available to respond if the situation becomes more serious or to perform confirmatory radiation monitoring if required, and provide offsite authorities current information on plant status and parameters. 2.1.3 Site Area Emergency Events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentional damage or malicious acts; 1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; 2) that prevent effective access to, equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed BPA PAG exposure levels beyond the site boundary.

Purpose:

The purpose of the.Site Area Emergency declaration is to assure that emergency response centers are staffed, to assure that monitoring teams are dispatched, to assure that personnel required for evacuation of near-site areas are at duty stations if the situation becomes more serious, to provide consultation with offsite authorities, and to provide updates to the public through government authorities. 2.1.4 General Emergency (GE) Events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or IMMINENT substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA PAG exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.

Purpose:

The purpose of the General Emergency declaration is to initiate predetermined protective actions for the public, to provide continuous assessment of information from the licensee and offsite organizational measurements, to initiate additional measures as indicated by actual or potential releases, to provide consultation with offsite authorities, and to provide updates for the public through government authorities. 5

2.2 INITIATING CONDITION {IC) An event or condition that aligns with the definition of one of the four emergency classification levels by virtue of the potential or actual effects or consequences .. Discussion: An IC describes an event or condition, the severity or consequences of which meets the definition of an emergency classification level. An IC can be expressed as a continuous, measurable parameter (e.g., RCS leakage), an event (e.g., an earthquake) or the status of one or more fission product barriers (e.g., loss of the RCS barrier). Appendix 1 of NUREG-0654 does not contain example Emergency Action Levels (EALs) for each ECL, but rather Initiating Conditions (i.e., plant conditions that indicate that a radiological emergency, or events that could lead to a radiological emergency, has occurred). NUREG-0654 states that the Initiating Conditions form the basis for establishment by a licensee of the specific plant instrumentation readings (as applicable) which, if exceeded, would initiate the emergency classific_ation. Thus, it is the specific instrument readings that would be the EALs. 2.3 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL {EAL) A pre-determined, site-specific, observable threshold for an Initiating Condition that, when met or exceeded, places the plant in a given emergency classification level. Discussion: EAL statements may utilize a variety of criteria including instrument readings and status indications; observable events; results of calculations and analyses; entry into particular procedures; and the occurrence of natural phenomena. 2.4 FISSION PRODUCT BARRIER THRESHOLD A pre-determined, site-specific, observable threshold indicating the loss or potential loss of a fission product barrier. Discussion: Fission product banier thresholds represent threats to the defense in depth design concept that precludes the release of radioactive fission products to the environment. This concept relies on multiple physical barriers, any one of which, if maintained intact, precludes the release of significant amounts of radioactive fission products to the environment. The primary fission product barriers are: Fuel Clad Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Containment Upon determination that one or more fission product barrier thresholds have been exceeded, the combination of barrier loss and/or potential loss thresholds is compared to the fission product barrier IC/EAL criteria to determine the appropriate ECL. In some accident sequences, the ICs and EALs presented in the Abnormal Radiation Levels/ Radiological Effluent (R) Recognition Category will be exceeded at the same time, or shortly after, the loss of one or more fission product barriers. This redundancy is intentional as the former ICs address radioactivity releases that result in certain offsite doses from whatever cause, including events that might not be fully encompassed by fission product barriers (e.g., spent fuel pool accidents, design containment leakage following a LOCA, etc.). 6

3 DESIGN OF THE DAEC EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SCHEME 3.1 ASSIGNMENT OF EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVELS (ECLs) An effective emergency classification scheme must incorporate a realistic and accurate assessment of risk, both to plant workers and the public. There are obvious health and safety risks in underestimating the potential or actual threat from an event or condition; however, there are also risks in overestimating the threat as well (e.g., harm that may occur during an evacuation). The DAEC emergency classification scheme attempts to strike an appropriate balance between reasonably anticipated event or condition consequences, potential accident trajectories, and risk avoidance or minimization. There are a range of "non-emergency events" reported to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.72. Guidance concerning these reporting requirements, and example events, are provided in NUREG-1022. Certain events reportable under the provisions of 10 CFR 50. 72 may also require the declaration of an emergency. In order to align each Initiating Conditions (IC) with the appropriate ECL, it was necessary to determine the attributes of each ECL. The goal of this process is to answer the question, "What events or conditions should be placed under each ECL?" The following sources provided information and context for the development of ECL attributes. Assessments of the effects and consequences of different types of events and conditions DAEC abnormal and emergency operating procedure setpoints and transition criteria DAEC Technical Specification limits and controls Offsite Dose Assessment Manual (ODAM) radiological release limits Review of selected Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) accident analyses Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guidelines (PAGs) NUREG 0654, Appendix I, Emergen_cy Action Level Guidelines for Nuclear Power Plants Industry Operating Experience Input from DAEC subject matter experts The following ECL attributes are used to aid in the development ofICs and Emergency Action Levels (EALs). The attributes may be useful in briefing and training settings (e.g., helping an Emergency Director understand why a particular condition is classified as an Alert). 7

3.1.1 Notification of Unusual Event (NODE) A Notification of Unusual Event, as defined in section 2.1.1, includes but is not limited to an event or condition that involves: (A)A precursor to a more significant event or condition. (B) A minor loss of control of radioactive materials or the ability to control radiation levels within the plant. (C) A consequence otherwise significant enough to warrant notification to local, State and Federal authorities. 3.1.2 Alert An Alert, as defined in section 2.1.2, includes but is not limited to an event or condition that involves: (A)A loss or potential loss of either the fuel clad or Reactor Coolant System (RCS) fission product barrier. (B) An event or condition that significantly reduces the margin to a loss or potential loss of the fuel clad or RCS fission product barrier. (C) A significant loss of control of radioactive materials resulting in an inability to control radiation levels within the plant, or a release of radioactive materials to the environment that could result in doses greater than 1% of an EPA P AG at or beyond the site boundary. (D)A HOSTILE ACTION occurring within the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA, in?luding those directed at an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). 3 .1.3 Site Area Emergency (SAE) A Site Area Emergency, as defined in section 2.1.3, includes but is not limited to an event or condition that involves: (A) A loss or potential loss of any two fission product barriers - fuel clad, RCS and/or containment. (B) A precursor event or condition that may lead to the loss or potential loss of multiple fission product barriers within a relatively short period of time. Precursor events and conditions of this type include those that challenge the monitoring and/or control of multiple SAFETY SYSTEMS. (C) A release of radioactive materials to the environment that could result in doses greater than 10% of an EPA PAG at or beyond the site boundary. (D)A HOSTILE ACTION occurring within the plant PROTECTED AREA. 8

3.1.4 General Emergency (GE) A General Emergency, as defmed in section 2.1.4, includes but is not limited to an event or condition that involves: (A)Loss of any two fission product barriers AND loss or potential loss of the third barrier

         - fuel clad, RCS and/or containment.

(B) A precursor event or condition that, unmitigated, may lead to a loss of all three fission product barriers. Precursor events and conditions of this type include those that lead directly to core damage and loss of containment integrity. (C) A release of radioactive materials to the environment that could result in doses greater than an EPA PAG at or beyond the site boundary. (D)A HOSTILE ACTION resulting in the loss of key safety functions (reactivity control, core cooling/RPV water level or RCS heat removal) or damage to spent fuel. 3.1.5 Risk-Informed Insights Emergency preparedness is a defense-in-depth measure that is independent of the assessed risk from any particular accident sequence; however, the development of an effective emergency classification scheme can benefit from a review of risk-based assessment results. To that end, the development and assignment of certain ICs and EALs also considered insights from several site-specific probabilistic safety assessments. Some generic insights from this review included:

1. Accident sequenc~s involving a prolonged loss of all AC power are signific~t contributors to core damage frequency at many Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs). For this reason, a loss of all AC power for greater than 15 minutes, with the plant at or above Hot Shutdown, was assigned an ECL of Site Area Emergency. Precursor events to a.loss of all AC power were also included as an Unusual Event and an Alert.

A station blackout coping analyses performed in response to 10 CFR 50.63 and Regulatory Guide 1.155, Station Blackout, may be used to determine a time-based criterion to demarcate between a Site Area Emergency and a General Emergency. The time dimension is critical to a properly anticipatory emergency declaration since the goal is to maximize the time available for State and local officials to develop and implement offsite protective actions.

2. For severe core damage events, uncertainties exist in phenomena important to accident progressions leading to containment failure. Because of these uncertainties, predicting the status of containment integrity may be difficult under severe accident conditions. This is why maintaining containment integrity alone following sequences leading to severe core damage is an insufficient basis for not escalating to a General Emergency.
3. PSAs indicated that leading contributors to latent fatalities were sequences involving a containment bypass, a large Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) with early containment failure, a Station Blackout lasting longer than the DAEC coping period, and a reactor coolant pump seal failure. The generic EAL methodology needs to be sufficiently rigorous to address these sequences in a timely fashion.

9

3.2 TYPES OF INITIATING CONDITIONS AND EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS The NEI 99-01 methodology makes use of symptom-based, barrier-based and event-based ICs and EALs. Each type is discussed below. Symptom-based ICs and EALs are parameters or conditions that are measurable over some range using plant instrumentation ( e.g., core temperature, reactor coolant level, radiological effluent, etc.). When one or more of these parameters or conditions are off-normal, reactor operators will implement procedures to identify the probable cause(s) and take corrective action. Fission product barrier-based ICs and EALs are the subset of symptom-based EALs that refer specifically to the level of challenge to the principal barriers against the release of radioactive material from the reactor core to the environment. These barriers are the fuel cladding, the reactor coolant system pressure boundary, and the containment. The barrier-based ICs and EALs consider the level of challenge to each individual barrier - potentially lost and lost - and the total number of barriers under challenge. Event-based ICs and EALs define a variety of specific occurrences that have potential or actual safety significance. These include the failure of an automatic reactor scram to shut down the reactor, natural phenomena (e.g., an earthquake), or man-made hazards such as a toxic gas release. 10

3.3 DAEC-SPECIFIC ORGANIZATION AND PRESENTATION OF GENERIC INFORMATION The scheme's generic information is organized by Recognition Category in the following order. R - Abnormal Radiation Levels / Radiological Effluent - Section 6 C - Cold Shutdown / Refueling System Malfunction - Section 7 E - Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) - Section 8 F - Fission Product Barrier- Section 9 H - Hazards and Other Conditions Affecting Plant Safety - Section 10 S - System Malfunction - Section 11 Each Recognition Category section contains a matrix showing the ICs and their associated emergency classification levels. The following information and guidance is provided for each IC: ECL - the assigned emergency classification level for the IC. Initiating Condition - provides a summary description of the emergency event or condition. Operating Mode Applicability - Lists the modes during which the IC and associated EAL(s) are applicable (i.e., are to be used to classify events or conditions). Emergency Action Level(s)-Provides examples ofreports and indications that are considered to meet the intent of the IC. For Recognition Category F, the fission product barrier thresholds are presented in tables and arranged by fission product barrier and the degree of barrier challenge (i.e., potential loss or loss). This presentationmethod shows the synergism among the thresholds, and supports accurate assessments. Basis - Provides background information that explains the intent and application of the IC and EALs. In some cases, the basis also includes relevant source information and references. 11

3.4 IC AND EAL MODE APPLICABILITY The DAEC emergency classification scheme was developed recognizing that the applicability of ICs and EALs will vary with plant mode. For example, some symptom-based ICs and EALs can be assessed only during the power operations, startup, or hot standby/shutdown modes of operation when all fission product barriers are in place, and plant instrumentation and SAFETY SYSTEMS are fully operational. In the cold shutdown and refueling modes, different symptom-based ICs and EALs will come into play to reflect the opening of systems for routine maintenance, the unavailability of some SAFETY SYSTEM components and the use of alternate instrumentation. The following table shows which Recognition Categories are applicable in each plant mode. The ICs and EALs for a given Recognition Category are applicable in the indicated modes. MODE APPLICABILITY MATRIX Recognition Category Mode R C E F H s Power Operations X X X X X Startup X X X X X Hot Shutdown X X X X X Cold Shutdown X X X X Refueling X X X X Defueled X X .x X DAEC Operating Modes Power Operations (I): Mode Switch in Run Startup (2): Mode Switch in Startup/Hot Standby or Refuel (with all vessel head closure bolts fully tensioned) Hot Shutdown (3): Mode Switch in Shutdown, Average Reactor Coolant Temperature >212 °F (with all vessel head closure bolts fully tensioned) Cold Shutdown (4): Mode Switch in Shutdown, Average Reactor Coolant Temperature~ 212 °F (with all vessel head closure bolts fully tensioned) Refueling (5): Mode Switch in Shutdown or Refuel (with one or more vessel head closure bolts less than fully tensioned) 12

4 DEVELOPMENT OF THE DAEC EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SCHEME 4.1 GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS The DAEC ICs and EALs were developed to be unambiguous and readily assessable. The IC is the fundamental event or condition requiring a declaration. The EAL(s) is the pre-determined threshold that defines when the IC is met. Useful acronyms and abbreviations associated with the DAEC emergency classification scheme are presented in Appendix A, Acronyms and Abbreviations. Many words or terms used in the DAEC emergency classification scheme have scheme-specific definitions. These words and terms are identified by being set in all capital letters (i.e., ALL CAPS). The definitions are presented in Appendix B, Definitions. 4.2 CRITICAL CHARACTERISTICS When crafting the scheme, DAEC ensured that certain critical characteristics have been met. These critical characteristics are listed below.

  • The ICs, EALs, Operating Mode Applicability criteria, Notes and Basis information are consistent with industry guidance; while the actual wording may be different, the classification intent is maintained. With respect to Recognition Category F, DAEC includes a user-aid to facilitate timely and accurate classification of fission product barrier losses and/or potential losses. The user-aid logic is consistent with the classification logic presented in Section 9.
  • The ICs, EALs~ Operating Mode Applicability criteria, Notes and Basis information are technically complete and accurate (i.e., they contain the information necessary to make a correct classification).
  • EAL statements use objective criteria and observable values.
  • ICs, EALs, Operating Mode Applicability and Note statements and formatting consider human factors and are user-friendly.
  • The scheme facilitates upgrading and downgrading of the emergency classification where necessary.

4.3 INSTRUMENTATIONUSEDFOREALS DAEC incorporated instrumentation that is reliable and routinely maintained in accordance with site programs and procedures. Alarms referenced in EAL statements are those that are the most operationally significant for the described event or condition. EAL setpoints are within the calibrated range of the referenced instrumentation, and consider any automatic instrumentation functions that may impact accurate EAL assessment. In addition, EAL setpoint values do not use terms such as "off-scale low" or "off-scale high" since that type of reading may not be readily differentiated from an instrument failure. 4.4 EAL/THRESHOLD REFERENCES TO AOP AND EOP SETPOINTS/CRITERIA Some of the criteria/values used in several EALs and fission product barrier thresholds are drawn from DAEC AOPs and EOPs. This approach is intended to maintain good alignment between operational diagnoses and emergency classification assessments. Appropriate administrative controls are in place to ensure that a subsequent change to an AOP or EOP is screened to determine if an evaluation pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54(q) is required. 14

5 GUIDANCE ON USING THE DAEC EALS 5.1 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS. When making an emergency classification, the Emergency Director must consider all information having a bearing on the proper assessment of an Initiating Condition (IC). This includes the Emergency Action Level (EAL) plus the associated Operating Mode Applicability, Notes and the informing Basis information. In the Recognition Category F matrices, EALs are referred to as Fission Product Barrier Thresholds; the thresholds serve the same function as an EAL. NRC regulations require the licensee to establish and maintain the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded and to promptly declare the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level. The NRC staff has provided guidance on implementing this requirement in NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, Interim Staff Guidance, Emergency Planning/or Nuclear Power Plants. All emergency classification assessments should be based upon valid indications, reports or conditions. A valid indication, report, or condition, is one that has been verified through appropriate means such that there is no doubt regarding the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy. For example, validation could be accomplished through an instrument channel check, response on related or redundant indicators, or direct observation by plant personnel. The validation of indications should be completed in a manner that supports timely emergency declaration. For ICs auci EALs that have a stipulated time duration (e.g., 15 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.), the Emergency Director should not wait until the applicable time has elapsed, but should declare the event as soon as it is determined that the condition has (;)Xceeded, or will likely exceed, the applicable time. If an ongoing radiological release is detected and the refease start time is unknown, it should be assumed that the release duration specified in the IC/EAL has been exceeded, absent data to the contrary. A planned work activity that results in an expected event or condition which meets or exceeds an EAL does not warrant an emergency declaration provided that 1) the activity proceeds as planned and 2) the plant remains within the limits imposed by the operating license. Such activities include planned work to test, manipulate, repair, maintain or modify a system or component. In these cases, the controls associated with the planning, preparation and execution of the work will ensure that compliance is maintained with all aspects of the operating license provided that the activity proceeds and concludes as expected. Events or conditions of this type may be subject to the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.72. The assessment of some EALs is based on the results of analyses that are necessary to ascertain whether a specific EAL threshold has been exceeded (e.g., dose assessments, chemistry sampling, RCS leak rate calculation, etc.); the EAL and/or the associated basis discussion will identify the necessary analysis. In these cases, the 15-minute declaration 15

period starts with the availability of the analysis results that show the threshold to be exceeded (i.e., this is the time that the EAL information is first available). The NRC expects licensees to establish the capability to initiate and complete EAL-related analyses within a reasonable period of time (e.g., maintain the necessary expertise on-shift). While the EALs have been developed to address a full spectrum of possible events and conditions which may warrant emergency classification, a provision for classification based on operator/management experience and judgment is still necessary. This scheme provides the Emergency Director with the ability to classify events and conditions based upon judgment using EALs that are consistent with the Emergency Classification Level (ECL) defmitions (refer to Category H). The Emergency Director will need to determine if the effects or consequences of the event or condition reasonably meet or exceed a particular ECL definition. A similar provision is incorporated into the Fission Product Barrier Tables; judgment may be used to determine the status of a fission product barrier. 5.2 CLASSIFICATION METHODOLOGY To make an emergency classification, the user will compare an event or condition (i.e., the relevant plant indications and reports) to an EAL(s) and determine if the EAL has been met or exceeded. The evaluation of an EAL(s) must be consistent with the related Operating Mode Applicability and Notes. If an EAL has been met or exceeded, then the IC is considered met and the associated ECL is declared in accordance with plant procedures. When assessing an EAL that specifies a time duration for the off-normal condition, the "clock" for the EAL time duration runs concurrently w:ith the emergency classification process "clock." For a full discussion ofthis timing requirement, refer to NSIR/DPR-ISG-01. 5.3 CLASSIFICATION OF MULTIPLE EVENTS AND CONDITIONS When multiple emergency events or conditions are present, the user will identify all met or exceeded EALs. The highest applicable ECL identified during this review is declared. Additionally, there is no "additive" effect from multiple EALs meeting the same ECL. For example: If two Alert EALs are met, an Alert should be declared. Related guidance concerning classification of rapidly escalating events or conditions is provided in Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2007-02, Clarification ofNRC Guidance for Emergency Notifications During Quickly Changing Events. 16

5.4 CONSIDERATION OF MODE CHANGES DURING CLASSIFICATION The mode in effect at the time that an event or condition occurred, and prior to any plant or operator response, is the mode that determines whether or not an IC is applicable. If an event or condition occurs, and results in a mode change before the emergency is declared, the emergency classification level is still based on the mode that existed at the time that the event or condition was initiated (and not when it was declared). Once a different mode is reached, any new event or condition, not related to the original event or condition, requiring emergency classification should be evaluated against the ICs and EALs applicable to the operating mode at the time of the new event or condition. For events that occur in Cold Shutdown or Refueling, escalation is via EALs that are applicable in the Cold Shutdown or Refueling modes, even if Hot Shutdown (or a higher mode) is entered during the subsequent plant response. In particular, the fission product barrier EALs are applicable only to events that initiate in the Hot Shutdown mode or higher.

  • 5.5 CLASSIFICATION OF IMMINENT CONDITIONS Although EALs provide specific thresholds, the Emergency Director must remain alert to events or conditions that could lead to meeting or exceeding an EAL within a relatively short period of time (i.e., a change in the ECL is IMMINENT). If, in the judgment of the Emergency Director, meeting an EAL is IMMINENT, the emergency classification should be made .as if the EAL has been met. While applicable to all emergency classification levels, this approach is particularly important at the higher emergency classification levels since it provides additional time for implementation of protective measures.

5.6 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVEL UPGRADING AND DOWNGRADING An ECL may be downgraded when the event or condition that meets the highest IC and EAL no'longer exists, and other site-specific downgrading requirements are met. If downgrading the ECL is deemed appropriate, the new ECL would then be based on a lower applicable IC(s) and EAL(s). The ECL may also simply be terminated. 17

The following approach to downgrading or terminating an ECL is recommended. ECL Action When Condition No Longer Exists Unusual Event Terminate the emergency in accordance with plant procedures. Alert Downgrade or terminate the emergency in accordance with plant procedures. Site Area Emergency with no Downgrade or terminate the emergency in long-term plant damage accordance with plant procedures. Site Area Emergency with Terminate the emergency and enter recovery in long-term plant damage accordance with plant procedures. General Emergency Terminate the emergency and enter recovery in accordance with plant procedures. As noted above, guidance concerning classification of rapidly escalating events or conditions is provided in RIS 2007-02. 5.7 CLASSIFICATION OF SHORT-LIVED EVENTS As discussed in Section 3.2, event-based ICs and EALs define a variety of specific occurrences that have potential or actual safety significance. By their nature, some of these events may be short-lived and, thus, over before the emergency classification assessment can be completed. If an event occurs that meets or exceeds an EAL, the associated ECL must be declared regardless of its continued presence at the time of declaration. Examples of such events include a failure of the reactor protection system to automatically scram the reactor followed by a successful manual scram or an earthquake. 5.8 CLASSIFICATION OF TRANSIENT CONDITIONS

  • Many of the ICs and/or EALs contained in this document employ time-based criteria.

These criteria will require that the IC/EAL conditions be present for a defined period of time before an emergency declaration is warranted. In cases where no time-based criterion is specified, it is recognized that some transient conditions may cause an EAL to be met for a brief period of time (e.g., a few seconds to a few minutes). The following guidance should be applied to the classification of these conditions. EAL momentarily met during expected plant response - In instances where an EAL is briefly met during an expected (normal) plant response, an emergency declaration is not warranted provided that associated systems and components are operating as expected, and operator actions are performed in accordance with procedures. 18

EAL momentarily met but the condition is corrected prior to an emergency declaration - If an operator takes prompt manual action to address a condition, and the action is successful in correcting the condition prior to the emergency declaration, then the applicable EAL is not considered met and the associated emergency declaration is not required. For illustrative purposes, consider the following example. An ATWS occurs and the auxiliary feedwater system fails to automatically start. Steam generator levels rapidly decrease and the plant enters an inadequate RCS heat removal condition (a potential loss of both the fuel clad and RCS barriers). If an operator manually starts the auxiliary feedwater system in accordance with an EOP step and clears the inadequate RCS heat removal condition prior to an emergency declaration, then the classification should be based on the ATWS only. It is important to stress that the 15-minute emergency classification assessment period is not a "grace period" during which a classification may be delayed to allow the performance of a corrective action that would obviate the need to classify the event; emergency classification assessments must be deliberate and timely, with no undue delays. The provision discussed above addresses only those rapidly evolving situations where an operator is able to take a successful corrective action prior to the Emergency Director completing the review and steps necessary to make the emergency declaration. This provision is included to ensure that any public protective actions resulting from the emergency classification are truly warranted by the plant conditions. 5.9 AFTER-THE-FACT DISCOVERY OF AN EMERGENCY EVENT OR CONDITION In some cases, an EAL may be met but the emergency classification w.as not made at the time of the event or condition. This situation can occur when personnel discover that an event or condition existed which met an EAL, but no emergency was declared, and the event or condition no longer exists at the time of discovery. This may be due to the event or .condition not being recognized at the time or an error that :was made in the emergency classification process. In these cases, no emergency declaration is warranted; however, the guidance contained in NUREG-1022 is applicable. Specifically, the event should be reported to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 within one hour of the discovery of the undeclared event or condition. The licensee should also notify appropriate State and local agencies in accordance with the agreed upon arrangements. 5.10 RETRACTION OF AN EMERGENCY DECLARATION Guidance on the retraction of an emergency declaration reported to the NRC is discussed in NUREG-1022. 19

  • The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded.
  • If an ongoing release is detected and the release start time is unknown, assume that the release duration has exceeded the specified time limit.
  • If the effluent flow past an effluent monitor is known to have stopped due to actions to isolate the release path, then the effluent monitor reading is no longer valid for classification purposes.

Definitions: None Basis: This IC addresses a potential decrease in the level of safety of the plant as indicated by a low-level radiological release that exceeds regulatory commitments for an extended period of time (e.g. , an uncontrolled release). It includes any gaseous or liquid radiological release, monitored or un-monitored, including those for which a radioactivity discharge permit is normally prepared. DAEC incorporates design features intended to control the release ofradioactive effluents to the environment. Further, there are administrative controls established to prevent unintentional releases, and to control and monitor intentional releases. The occurrence of an extended, uncontrolled radioactive release to the environment is indicative of degradation in these features and/or controls. Radiological effluent EALs are also included to provide a basis for classifying events and conditions that cannot be readily or appropriately classified on the basis of plant conditions alone. The inclusion of both plant condition and radiological effluent EALs more fully addresses the spectrum of possible accident events and conditions. Classification based on effluent monitor readings assumes that a release path to the environment is established. If the effluent flow past an effluent monitor is known to have stopped due to actions to isolate the release path, then the effluent monitor reading is no longer valid for classification purposes. Releases should not be prorated or averaged. For example, a release exceeding 4 times release limits for 30 minutes does not meet the EAL.

  • EAL RUl .1 - This EAL addresses normally occurring continuous radioactivity releases from monitored gaseous or liquid effluent pathways.

EAL RUl .2 - This EAL addresses radioactivity releases that cause effluent radiation monitor readings to exceed 2 times the limit established by a radioactivity discharge permit. This EAL will typically be associated with planned batch releases from non-continuous release pathways (e.g., radwaste, waste gas). EAL RUl.3 - This EAL addresses uncontrolled gaseous or liquid releases that are detected by sample analysis or environmental surveys, particularly on unmonitored pathways (e.g., spills of radioactive liquids into storm drains, heat exchanger leakage in river water systems, etc.). Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC RA 1. 22

RU2 ECL: Notification of Unusual Event Initiating Condition: UNPLANNED loss of water level above irradiated fuel. Operating Mode Applicability: All Emergency Action Levels: RU2 .l a. UNPLANNED water level drop in the REFUELING PATHWAY as indicated by ANY of the following:

  • Report to control room (visual observation)
  • Fuel pool level indication (LI-3413) less than 36 feet and lowering
  • WR GEMAC Floodup indication (LI-4541) coming on scale AND

  • South Drywell Area Hi Range Rad Monitor, R1M-9I84B Definitions:

UNPLANNED: A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. REFUELING PATHWAY: The reactor refueling cavity, spent fuel pool and fuel transfer canal. 23

Basis: This IC addresses a decrease in water level above irradiated fuel sufficient to cause elevated radiation levels. This condition could be a precursor to a more serious event and is also indicative of a minor loss in the ability to control radiation levels within the plant. It is therefore a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant. A water level decrease will be primarily determined by indications from available level instrumentation. Other sources of level indications may include reports from plant personnel (e.g. , from a refueling crew) or video camera observations. A significant drop in the water level may also cause an increase in the radiation levels of adjacent areas that can be detected by monitors in those locations. The effects of planned evolutions should be considered. For example, a refueling bridge area radiation monitor reading may increase due to planned evolutions such as lifting of the reactor vessel head or movement of a fuel assembly. Note that this EAL is applicable only in cases where the elevated reading is due to an UNPLANNED loss of water level. During preparation for reactor cavity flood up prior to entry into refuel mode, reactor vessel level instrument LI-4541 (WR GEMAC, FLOODUP) on control room panel 1C04 is placed in service by I&C personnel connecting a compensating air signal after the reference leg is disconnected from the reactor head. Normal refuel water level is above the top of the span of this flood up level indicator. A valid indication (e.g. , not due to loss of compensating air signal or other instrument channel failure) ofreactor cavity level coming on span for this instrument is used at DAEC as an indicator of uncontrolled reactor cavity level decrease. DAEC Technical Specifications require a minimum of 36 feet of water in the spent fuel pool when moving irradiated fuel into the secondary containment. During . refueling, the gates between the reactor cavity and the refueling cavity are removed and the spent fuel pool level indicator LI- 3413 is used to monitor refueling water level. Procedures require that a normal refueling water level be maintained at 37 feet 5 inches. A low level alarm actuates when spent fuel pool level drops below 37 feet l inch. Symptoms of inventory loss at DAEC include visual observation of decreasing water levels in reactor cavity or spent fuel storage pool, Reactor Building (RB) fuel storage pool radiation monitor or refueling area radiation monitor alarms, observation of a decreasing trend on the spent fuel pool water level indicator, and actuation of the spent fuel pool low water level alarm. To eliminate minor level perturbations from concern, DAEC uses Ll-3413 indicated water level below 36 feet and lowering. Increased radiation levels can be detected by the local area radiation monitors surrounding the spent fuel pool and refueling cavity areas. Applicable area radiation monitors are those listed in AOP 981 . A drop in water level above irradiated fuel within the reactor vessel may be classified in accordance Recognition Category C during the Cold Shutdown and Refueling modes. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC RA2. 24

RA1 ECL: Alert Initiating Condition: Release of gaseous or liquid radioactivity resulting in offsite dose greater than 10 mrem TEDE or 50 mrem thyroid CDE. Operating Mode Applicability: All Emergency Action Levels: Notes:

  • The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded.
  • If an ongoing release is detected and the release start time is unknown, assume that the release duration has exceeded the specified time limit.
  • If the effluent flow past an effluent monitor is known to have stopped due to actions to isolate the release path, then the effluent monitor reading is no longer valid for classification purposes.

25

Definitions: SITE BOUNDARY: That line beyond which the land is neither owned, nor leased, nor otherwise controlled by the licensee. Basis: This IC addresses a release of gaseous or liquid radioactivity that results in projected or actual offsite doses greater than or equal to 1% of the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAGs). It includes both monitored and un-monitored releases. Releases of this magnitude represent an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant as indicated by a radiological release that significantly exceeds regulatory limits (e.g., a significant uncontrolled release). This IC is modified by a note that EAL RAl .1 is only assessed for emergency classification until a qualified dose assessor is performing assessments using dose projection software incorporating actual meteorological data and current radiological conditions. Radiological effluent EALs are also included to provide a basis for classifying events and conditions that cannot be readily or appropriately classified on the basis of plant conditions alone. The inclusion of both plant condition and radiological effluent EALs more fully addresses the spectrum of possible accident events and conditions. The TEDE dose is set at 1% of the EPA PAGof 1,000 mrem while the 50 mrem thyroid CDE was established in consideration of the 1:5 ratio of the EPA PAG for TEDE and thyroid CDE. Classification based on effluent monitor readings assumes that a release path to the environment is established. If the effluent flow past an effluent monitor is known to have stopped due to actions to isolate the release path, then t4~ .effluent monitor reading is no longer valid for classification purposes. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC RS 1. 26

RA2 ECL: Alert Initiating Condition: Significant lowering of water level above, or damage to, irradiated fuel. Operating Mode Applicability: All Emergency Action Levels: RA2.l Uncovery of irradiated fuel in the REFUELING PATHWAY. RA2.2 Damage to irradiated fuel resulting in a release of radioactivity from the fuel as indicated by Hi Rad alarm for ANY of the following ARMs:

Definitions: REFUELING PATHWAY -The reactor refueling cavity, spent fuel pool and fuel transfer canal. Basis: This IC addresses events that have caused IMMINENT or actual damage to an irradiated fuel assembly, or a significant lowering of water level within the spent fuel pool. These events present radiological safety challenges to plant personnel and are precursors to a release of radioactivity to the environment. As such, they represent an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.

  • Expected radiation monitor alarm(s) during preplanned transfer of highly radioactive material through the affected areas are not considered valid alarms for the purpose of comparison to these EALs.

27

This IC applies to irradiated fuel that is licensed for dry storage up to the point that the loaded storage cask is sealed. Once sealed, damage to a loaded cask causing loss of the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY is classified in accordance with IC E-HUl. Escalation of the emergency would be based on either Recognition Category R or C ICs. EALRA2.l This EAL escalates from RU2 in that the loss oflevel, in the affected portion of the REFUELING PATHWAY, is of sufficient magnitude to have resulted in uncovery of irradiated fuel. Indications of irradiated fuel uncovery may include direct or indirect visual observation (e.g., reports from personnel or camera images), as well as significant changes in water and radiation levels, or other plant parameters. Computational aids may also be used. Classification of an event using this EAL should be based on the totality of available indications, reports, and observations. While an area radiation monitor could detect an increase in a dose rate due to a lowering of water level in some portion of the REFUELING PATHWAY, the reading may not be a reliable indication of whether or not the fuel is actually uncovered. To the degree possible, readings should be considered in combination with other available indications of inventory loss. A drop in water level above irradiated fuel within the reactor vessel may be classified in accordance Recognition Category C during the Cold Shutdown and Refueling modes. EALRA2.2 This EAL addresses a release of radioactive material caused by mechanical damage to irradiated fuel. Damaging events may include the dropping, bumping or binding of an assembly, or dropping a heavy load onto an assembly. An alarm on these radiation monitors should be considered in conjunction with in-plant reports'or observations of a potential fuel damaging event (e.g.; a fuel handling accident). Threshold values for the Drywell monitors are only applicable in Mode 5 since the calculated radiation levels from damage to irradiated fuel would be masked by the typical background levels on these monitors during plant operation, and mechanical damage to a fuel assembly in the vessel can only happen with the reactor head removed. EALRA2.3 Spent fuel pool water level at this value is within the lower end of the level range necessary to prevent significant dose consequences from direct gamma radiation to personnel performing operations in the vicinity of the spent fuel pool. This condition reflects a significant loss of spent fuel pool water inventory and thus it is also a precursor to a loss of the ability to adequately cool the irradiated fuel assembles stored in the pool. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via ICs RS 1 or RS2. 28

RA3 ECL: Alert Initiating Condition: Radiation levels that impede access to areas necessary for normal plant operation. Operating Mode Applicability: All Emergency Action Levels: RA3.l Dose rate greater than 15 mR/hr in ANY of the following areas:

  • Control Room (RM-9162)
  • Central Alarm Station (by survey)

Definitions: None Basis: This IC addresses elevated radiation levels in certain plant rooms/areas sufficient to preclude or impede personnel from performing actions necessary to maintain normal plant operation, or to perform a normal plant cooldown and shutdown. As such, it represents an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. The Emergency Director should consider the cause of the increased radiation levels and determine if another IC may be applicable. .. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via Recognition Category R, C or F ICs. 29

RS1 ECL: Site Area Emergency Initiating Condition: Release of gaseous radioactivity resulting in offsite dose greater than 100 rnrem TEDE or 500 mrem thyroid CDE. Operating Mode Applicability: All Emergency Action Levels: Notes:

  • If an ongoing release is detected and the release start time is unknown, assume that the release duration has exceeded the specified time limit.
  • If the effluent flow past an effluent monitor is known to have stopped due to actions to isolate the release path, then the effluent monitor reading is no longer valid for classification purposes.
  • The pre-calculated effluent monitor values presented in EAL 1.1 should only be used for emergency classification assessments until the results from a dose assessment using actual meteorology are available.

Definitions: SITE BOUNDARY: That line beyond which the land is neither owned, nor leased, nor otherwise controlled by the licensee. Basis: This IC addresses a release of gaseous radioactivity that results in projected or actual offsite doses greater than or equal to 10% of the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAGs). It includes both monitored and un-monitored releases. Releases of this magnitude are associated with the failure of plant systems needed for the protection of the public. This IC is modified by a note that EAL RS 1.1 is only assessed for emergency classification until a qualified dose assessor is performing assessments using dose projection software incorporating actual meteorological data and current radiological conditions. However, if Kaman monitor readings are sustained for 15 minutes or longer and the required MIDAS dose assessments cannot be completed within this period, then the declaration can be made using Kaman readings PROVIDED the readings are not from an isolated flow path. Radiological effluent EALs are also included to provide a basis for classifying events and conditions that cannot be readily or appropriately classified on the basis of plant conditions alone. The inclusion of both plant condition and radiological eflluent EALs more fully addresses the spectrum of possible accident events and conditions. The TEDE dose is set at 10% of the EPA PAG of 1,000 mrem while the 500 mrem thyroid CDE was established in consideration of the 1:5 ratio of the EPA PAG for TEDE and thyroid CDE. Classification based on effluent monitor.readings assumes that a release path to the environment is. an established. If the eflluent flow past effluent monitor is known to have stopped due to actions to isolate the release path, then the effluent monitor reading is no longer valid for classification purposes. If Kaman readings are not valid, field survey results may be utilized to assess this IC using EAL RSI.3. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC RG 1. 31

This condition entails major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public and thus warrant a Site Area Emergency declaration. It is recognized that this IC would likely not be met until well after another Site Area Emergency IC was met; however, it is included to provide classification diversity. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC RGI or RG2. 32

RG1 ECL: General Emergency Initiating Condition: Release of gaseous radioactivity resulting in offsite dose greater than 1,000 mrem TEDE or 5,000 mrem thyroid CDE. Operating Mode Applicability: All Emergency Action Levels: Notes:

  • The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded.
  • If an ongoing release is detected and the release start time is unknown, assume that the release duration has exceeded the specified time limit.
  • If the effluent flow past an efiluent monitor is known to have stopped due to actions to isolate the release path, then the efiluent monitor reading is no longer valid for classification purposes.
  • The pre-calculated effluent monitor values presented in EAL 1.1 should only be used for emergency classification assessments until the results from a dose assessment using actual meteorology are available.

Definitions: SITE BOUNDARY: That line beyond which the land is neither owned, nor leased, nor otherwise controlled by the licensee. Basis: This IC addresses a release of gaseous radioactivity that results in projected or actual offsite doses greater than or equal to the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAGs). It includes both monitored and un-monitored releases. Releases of this magnitude will require implementation of protective actions for the public. This IC is modified by a note that EAL RG 1.1 is only assessed for emergency classification until a qualified dose assessor is performing assessments using dose projection software incorporating actual meteorological data and current radiological conditions. However, if Kaman monitor readings are sustained for 15 minutes or longer and the required MIDAS dose assessments cannot be completed within this period, then the declaration can be made using Kaman readings PROVIDED the readings are not from an isolated flow path. Radiological effluent EALs are also included to provide a basis for classifying events and conditions that cannot be readily or appropriately classified on the basis of plant conditions alone. The inclusion of both plant condition and radiological effluent EALs more fully addresses the spectrum of possible accident events and conditions. The TEDE dose is set at the EPA PAG of 1,000 mrem while the 5,000 mrem thyroid CDE was established in consideration of the 1:5 ratio of the EPA PAG forTEDE and thyroid CDE. Classification based on effluent monitor readings assumes that a release path to the environment is established. If the effluent flow past an effluent monitor is kiio~ to have stopped due to actions to isolate the release path, then the effluent monitor reading is no longer valid for classification purposes. If Kaman readings are not valid, field survey results may be utilized to assess this IC using EAL RG 1.3. 34

RG2 ECL: General Emergency Initiating Condition: Spent fuel pool level cannot be restored to at least 16.36 feet for 60 minutes or longer. Operating Mode Applicability: All Emergency Action Levels: Note:

  • The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded.

RG2.l Spent fuel pool level cannot be restored to at least 16.36 feet for 60 minutes or longer. Definitions: None Basis: This IC addresses a significant loss of spent fuel pool inventory control and makeup capability leading to a prolonged uncovery of spent fuel. This condition will lead to fuel damage and a radiological release to the environment. It is recognized that this IC would likely not be met until well after another General Emergency IC was met; however, it is jncluded to provide classification diversity. 35

7 COLD SHUTDOWN/ REFUELING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION ICS/EALS 36

CU1 ECL: Notification of Unusual Event Initiating Condition: UNPLANNED loss ofRPV inventory for 15 minutes or longer. Operating Mode Applicability: 4, 5 Emergency Action Levels: Note: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. CUI.I UNPLANNED loss of reactor coolant results in RPV level less than a required lower limit for 15 minutes or longer. CUl.2 a. RPV level cannot be monitored. AND

b. UNPLANNED level rise in Drywell/Reactor Building Equipment or Floor Drain sump, or Suppression Pool.

Definitions: UNPLANNED: A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. Basis: This IC addresses the inability to restore and maintain water level to a required minimum level (or the lower limit of a level band), or a loss of the ability to monitor RPV level concurrent with indications of coolant leakage. Either of these conditions is ~onsidered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Refueling evolutions that decrease RCS water inventory are carefully planned and controlled. An UNPLANNED event that results in water level decreasing below a procedurally required limit warrants the declaration of an Unusual Event due to the reduced water inventory that is available to keep the core covered. EAL CUI .1 recognizes that the minimum required RPV level can change several times during the course of a refueling outage as different plant configurations and system lineups are implemented. This EAL is met if the minimum level, specified for the current plant conditions, cannot be maintained for 15 minutes or longer. The minimum level is typically specified in the applicable operating procedure but may be specified in another controlling document. The 15-minute threshold duration allows sufficient time for prompt operator actions to restore and maintain the expected water level. This criterion excludes transient conditions causing a brief lowering of water level. 37

EAL CUI .2 addresses a condition where all means to determine RPV level have been lost. If all level indication were to be lost during a loss of RCS inventory event, the operators would need to determine that RSC inventory loss was occurring by observing sump and Suppression Pool level changes. The drywell floor and equipment drain sumps, reactor building equipment and floor drain sumps receive all liquid waste from floor and equipment drains inside the primary containment and reactor building. A rise in Suppression Pool water level may be indicative of valve misalignment or leakage in systems that discharge to the Torus. Sump and Suppression Pool level increases must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the containment to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage. Continued loss of RCS inventory may result in escalation to the Alert emergency classification level via either IC CAI or CA3. 38

CU2 ECL: Notification of Unusual Event Initiating Condition: Loss of all but one AC power source to essential buses for 15 minutes or longer. Operating Mode Applicability: 4, 5, Defueled Emergency Action Levels: Note: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that 15 minutes has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. CU2.l a. AC power capability to 1A3 and 1A4 buses is reduced to a single power source for 15 minutes orlonger. AND

b. Any additional single power source failure will result in loss of ALL AC power to SAFETY SYSTEMS.

Definitions: SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are classified as

  • safety-related.

Basis: This IC describes a significant degradation of offsite and onsite AC power sources such that any additional single failure would result in a loss of all AC power to SAFETY SYSTEMS. In this condition, the sole AC power source may be powering one; or more than one, train of safety-related equipment. When in the cold shutdown, refueling, or defueled mode, this condition is not classified as an Alert because of the increased time available to restore another power source to service. Additional time is available due to the reduced core decay heat load, and the lower temperatures and pressures in various plant systems. Thus, when in these modes, this condition is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. An "AC power source" is a source recognized in AOPs and EOPs, and capable of supplying required power to an emergency bus. Some examples of this condition are presented below.

  • A loss of all offsite power with a concurrent failure of all but one emergency power source (e.g., an onsite diesel generator).
  • A loss of emergency power sources (e.g., onsite diesel generators) with a single train of essential buses beirig fed from an offsite power source.

Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of power. The subsequent loss of the remaining single power source would escalate the event to an Alert in accordance with IC CA2. 39

CU3 ECL: Notification of Unusual Event Initiating Condition: UNPLANNED increase mRCS temperature. Operating Mode Applicability: 4, 5 Emergency Action Levels: Note: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. CU3.l UNPLANNED increase in RCS temperature to greater than 212°F. CU3.2 Loss of ALL RCS temperature and RPV level indication for 15 minutes or longer. Definitions: UNPLANNED: A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. CONTAINMENT CLOSURE: Procedurally defined actions taken to secure containment and its associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release

 ** under existing plant conditions. For DAEC, this is considered to be Secondary Containment as required by Technical Specifications.
    .Basis:

This IC addresses an UNPLANNED increase in RCS temperature above the Technical Specification cold shutdown temperature limit, or the inability to determine RCS temperature and level, represents a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. If the RCS is not intact and CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is not established during this event, the Emergency Director should also refer to IC CA3. A momentary UNPLANNED excursion above the Technical Specification cold shutdown temperature limit when the heat removal function is available does not warrant a classification. EAL CU3.l involves a loss of decay heat removal capability, or an addition of heat to the RCS in excess of that which can currently be removed, such that reactor coolant temperature cannot be maintained below the cold shutdown temperature limit specified in Technical Specifications. During this condition, there is no immediate threat of fuel damage because the core decay heat load has been reduced since the cessation of power operation. During an outage, the level in the reactor vessel will normally be maintained above the reactor vessel flange. Refueling evolutions that lower water level below the reactor vessel flange are carefully planned and controlled. A loss of forced decay heat removal at reduced inventory may result in a rapid increase in reactor coolant temperature depending on the time after shutdown. 40

EAL CU3.2 reflects a condition where there has been a significant loss of instrumentation capability necessary to monitor RCS conditions and operators would be unable to monitor key parameters necessary to assure core decay heat removal. During this condition, there is no immediate threat of fuel damage because the core decay heat load has been reduced since the cessation of power operation. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of indication. Escalation to Alert would be via IC CAI based on an inventory loss or IC CA3 based on exceeding plant configuration-specific time criteria. 41

CU4 ECL: Notification of Unusual Event Initiating Condition: Loss of Vital DC power for 15 minutes or longer. Operating Mode Applicability: 4, 5 Emergency Action Levels: Note: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. CU4.l Indicated voltage is less than 105 VDC on BOTH Div I and Div 2 125 VDC buses for 15 minutes or longer. Definitions: SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are classified as safety-related. Basis: This IC addresses a loss of Vital DC power which compromises the ability to monitor and

  .. control operable SAFETY SYSTEMS when the plant is in the cold shutdown or refueling mode.

In these modes, the core decay heat load has been significantly reduced, and coolant system temperatures and pressures are lower; these conditions increase the time available to restore a v:ital DC bus to service. Thus, this condition is considered to be a potential degradation of the

 *, level of safety of the plant.                               '
.. As used in this EAL, "required" means the Vital DC buses necessary to support operation of the in-service, or operable, train or trains of SAFETY SYSTEM equipment. For example, if Train A is out-of-service (inoperable) for scheduled outage maintenance work and Train B is in-service (operable), then a loss of Vital DC power affecting Train B would require the declaration of an Unusual Event. A loss of Vital DC power to Train A would not warrant an emergency classification.

Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses. Depending upon the event, escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CAI or CA3, or an IC in Recognition Category R. 42

CU5 ECL: Notification of Unusual Event Initiating Condition: Loss of all onsite or offsite communications capabilities. Operating Mode Applicability: 4, 5, Defueled Emergency Action Levels: CU5.l Loss of ALL of the following onsite communication methods:

  • Plant Operations Radio System
  • In-Plant Phone System
  • Plant Paging System (Gaitronics)

CU5.2 Loss of ALL of the following offsite response organization communications methods:

  • DAEC All-Call phone
  • All telephone lines (PBX and commercial)
              * . Cell Phones (including fixed cell phone system)
  • Control Room fixed satellite phone system
  • FTS Phone system CU5.3 : 'Loss of ALL of the following NRC communications methods:
  • FTS Phone system
  • All telephone lines (PBX and commercial)
  • Cell Phones (including fixed cell phone system)
  • Control Room fixed satellite phone system Basis:

This IC addresses a significant loss of on-site or offsite communications capabilities. While not a direct challenge to plant or personnel safety, this event warrants prompt notifications to offsite response organizations and the NRC. This IC should be assessed only when extraordinary means are being utilized to make communications possible (e.g., use of non-plant, privately owned equipment, relaying of on-site information via individuals or multiple radio transmission points, individuals being sent to offsite locations, etc.). EAL CU5.l addresses a total loss of the communications methods used in support of routine plant operations. 43

EAL CU5.2 addresses a total loss of the communications methods used to notify all offsite response organizations of an emergency declaration. The offsite response organizations referred to here are the State of Iowa, Linn County, and Benton County. EAL CU5 .3 addresses a total loss of the communications methods used to notify the NRC of an emergency declaration. 44

CA1 ECL: Alert Initiating Condition: Loss ofRPV inventory. Operating Mode Applicability: 4, 5 Emergency Action Levels: Note: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. CALI Loss ofRPV inventory as indicated by level less than 119.5 inches. CAl.2 a. RPV level cannot be monitored for 15 minutes or longer AND

b. UNPLANNED level rise in Drywell/Reactor Building Equipment or Floor Drain sump, or Suppression Pool due to a loss of RPV inventory.

Definitions: UNPLANNED: A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. Basis: This IC addresses conditions that are precursors to a loss of the ability to adequately cool irradiated fuel (i.e., a precursor to a challenge to the fuel clad barrier). This condition represents a potential substantial reduction in the level of plant safety. For EAL CAI .1, a lowering of water level below 119.5 inches indicates that operator actions have not been successful in restoring and maintaining RPV water level. The heat-up rate of the coolant will increase as the available water inventory is reduced. A continuing decrease in water level will lead to core uncovery. Although related, EAL CAI .1 is concerned with the loss of RCS inventory and not the potential concurrent effects on systems needed for decay heat removal (e.g., loss of a Residual Heat Removal suction point). An increase in RCS temperature caused by a loss of decay heat removal capability is evaluated under IC CA3. For EAL CAl.2, the inability to monitor RPV level may be caused by instrumentation and/or power failures, or water level dropping below the range of available instrumentation. If water level cannot be monitored, the operators would need to determine that RCS inventory loss was occurring by observing sump and Suppression Pool level changes. The drywell floor and equipment drain sumps, reactor building equipment and floor drain sumps receive all liquid waste from floor and equipment drains inside the primary containment and reactor building. A rise in Suppression Pool water level may be indicative of valve misalignment or leakage in systems that discharge to the Torus. Sump and Suppression Pool level increases must be 45

evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the containment to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage. The 15-minute duration for the loss oflevel indication was chosen because it is half of the EAL duration specified in IC CS 1 If the RPV inventory level continues to lower, then escalation to Site Area Emergency would be via IC CSL 46

CA2 ECL: Alert Initiating Condition: Loss of all offsite and all onsite AC power to essential buses for 15 minutes or longer. Operating Mode Applicability: 4, 5, Defueled Emergency Action Levels: Note: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. CA2.l Loss of ALL offsite and ALL onsite AC Power to 1A3 and 1A4 buses for 15 minutes or longer. Definitions: SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are classified as safety-related. Basis: This IC addresses a total loss of AC power that compromises the performance of all SAFETY SYSTEMS requiring electric power including those necessary for emergency core cooling, containment heat removal/pressure control, spent fuel heat removal and the ultimate heat sink. When in the cold shutdown, refueling, or defueled mode, this condition is not classified as a Sit~ Area Emergency because of the increased time available to restore an emergency bus to service. Additional time is available due to the reduced core decay heat load, and the lower temperatures and pressures in various plant systems. Thus, when in these modes, this condition represents an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CS 1 or RS 1. 47

CA3 ECL: Alert Initiating Condition: Inability to maintain the plant in cold shutdown. Operating Mode Applicability: 4, 5 Emergency Action Levels: Note: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. CA3.l UNPLANNED increase in RCS temperature to greater than 212°F for greater than the duration specified in Table C-2. Table C-2 RCS Heat-up Duration Thresholds CONTAINMENT CLOSURE RCS Integrity Heat-up Duration Status Intact Not applicable 60 minutes* Established 20 minutes* Not intact Not Established 0 minutes

  • If an RCS heat removal system is in operation within this time frame and RCS temperature is being reduced, the EAL is not applicable.

CA3.2 UNPLANNED RCS pressure increase greater than IO psig due to a loss of RCS cooling. , , Definitions: UNPLANNED: A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. CONTAINMENT CLOSURE: Procedurally defined actions taken to secure containment and its associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under existing plant conditions. For DAEC, this is considered to be Secondary Containment as required by Technical Specifications. Basis: This IC addresses conditions involving a loss of decay heat removal capability or an addition of heat to the RCS in excess of that which can currently be removed. Either condition represents an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. A momentary UNPLANNED excursion above the Technical Specification cold shutdown temperature limit when the heat removal function is available does not warrant a classification. RCS integrity is intact when the RCS pressure boundary is in its normal condition for the cold shutdown mode of operation (e.g., no freeze seals or nozzle dams). 48

The RCS Heat-up Duration Thresholds table addresses an increase in RCS temperature when CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is established but the RCS is not intact. The 20-minute criterion was included to allow time for operator action to address the temperature increase. The RCS Heat-up Duration Thresholds table also addresses an increase in RCS temperature with the RCS intact. The status of CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is not crucial in this condition since the intact RCS is providing a high pressure barrier to a fission product release. The 60-minute time frame should allow sufficient time to address the temperature increase without a substantial degradation in plant safety. Finally, in the case where there is an increase in RCS temperature, the RCS is not intact, and CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is not established, no heat-up duration is allowed (i.e., 0 minutes). This is because

1) the evaporated reactor coolant may be released directly into the Containment atmosphere and subsequently to the environment, and
2) there is reduced reactor coolant inventory above the top of irradiated fuel.

EAL CA3.2 provides a pressure-based indication of RCS heat-up. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CS 1 or RS 1. 49

CA6 ECL: Alert Initiating Condition: Hazardous event affecting a SAFETY SYSTEM needed for the current operating mode. Operating Mode Applicability: 4, 5 Emergency Action Levels: Notes:

  • If the affected SAFETY SYSTEM train was already inoperable or out of service before the hazardous event occurred, then this emergency classification is not warranted.
  • If the hazardous event only resulted in VISIBLE DAMAGE, with no indications of degraded performance to at least one train of a SAFETY SYSTEM, then this emergency classification is not warranted.

CA6.1 a. The occurrence of ANY of the Table C-3 hazardous events: Seismic event (earthquake) Internal or external flooding event High winds or tornado strike FIRE EXPLOSION Other events with sir;nilar hazard characteristics as determined by the Shift Manager or Emergency Director AND

b. 1. Event damage has caused indications of degraded performance in one train of a SAFETY SYSTEM needed for the current operating mode.

AND

2. EITHER of the following:
  • Event damage has caused indications of degraded performance to a second train of the SAFETY SYSTEM needed for the current operating mode, OR
  • The event has resulted in VISIBLE DAMAGE to the second train of a SAFETY SYSTEM needed for the current operating mode.

50

Definitions: FIRE: Combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute FIRES. Observation of flame is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. EXPLOSION: A rapid, violent and catastrophic failure of a piece of equipment due to combustion, chemical reaction, or ove:rpressurization. A release of steam (from high energy lines or components) or an electrical component failure (caused by short circuits, grounding, arcing, etc.) should not automatically be considered an explosion. Such events may require a post-event inspection to determine if the attributes of an explosion are present. SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are classified as safety-related. VISIBLE DAMAGE: Damage to a component or structure that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analysis. The visual impact of the damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the affected component or structure. Damage resulting from an equipment failure and limited to the failed component (i.e., the failure did not cause damage to a structure or any other equipment) is not VISIBLE DAMAGE. Basis: This IC addresses a hazardous event that causes damage to SAFETY SYSTEMS needed for the current operating mode. In order to provide the appropriate context for consideration of an ALERT classification, the hazardous event must have caused indications of degraded SAFETY ,, SYSTEM performance in one train, and there µmst be either indications of performance issues with the second SAFETY SYSTEM train or VISIBLE DAMAGE to the second train such that the potential exists for this second SAFETY SYSTEM train to have performance issues. In other words, in order for this EAL to be classified, the hazardous event must occur, at least one SAFETY SYSTEM train must have indications of degraded performance, and the second SAFETY SYSTEM train must have indications of degraded performance or VISIBLE DAMAGE such that the potential exists for performance issues. Note that this second SAFETY SYSTEM train is from the same SAFETY SYSTEM that has indications of degraded performance for criteria CA6. l .b. l of this EAL; commercial nuclear power plants are designed to be able to support single system issues without compromising public health and safety from radiological events. An event affecting a single-train SAFETY SYSTEM (i.e., there are indications of degraded performance and/or VISIBLE DAMAGE affecting the one train) would not be classified under CA6 because the two-train impact criteria that underlie the EALs and Bases would not be met. If an event affects a single-train SAFETY SYSTEM, then the emergency classification should be made based on plant parameters/symptoms meeting the EALs for another IC. Depending upon the circumstances, classification may also occur based on Shift Manager/Emergency Director judgement. Indications of degraded performance addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is in service/operation since indications for it will be readily available. The indications of degraded performance should be significant enough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM train. 51

VISIBLE DAMAGE addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is not in service/operation and that potentially could cause performance issues. Operators will make this determination based on the totality of available event and damage report information. This is intended to be a brief assessment not requiring lengthy analysis or quantification of the damage. This VISIBLE DAMAGE should be significant enough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM train. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC RS 1. 52

CS1 ECL: Site Area Emergency Initiating Condition: Loss of RPV inventory affecting core decay heat removal capability.

AND ,, . ,,

b. Core uncovery is indicated by EITHER of the following:
  • Drywell Monitor (9184.AIB) reading greater than 5.0 R/hr
  • UNPLANNED level rise in Drywell/Reactor Building Equipment or Floor Drain sump, or Suppression Pool of sufficient magnitude to indicate core uncovery Definitions:

CONTAINMENT CLOSURE: Procedurally defined actions taken to secure containment and its associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under existing plant conditions. For DAEC, this is considered to be Secondary Containment as required by Technical Specifications. UNPLANNED: A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. 53

Basis: This IC addresses a significant and prolonged loss of RPV inventory control and makeup capability leading to IMMINENT fuel damage. The lost inventory may be due to a RCS component failure, a loss of configuration control or prolonged boiling of reactor coolant. These conditions entail major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public and thus warrant a Site Area Emergency declaration. Following an extended loss of core decay heat removal and inventory makeup, decay heat will cause reactor coolant boiling and a further reduction in reactor vessel level. If reactor vessel level cannot be restored, fuel damage is probable. Outage/shutdown contingency plans typically provide for re-establishing or verifying CONTAINMENT CLOSURE following a loss of heat removal or RCS inventory control functions. The difference in the specified reactor vessel levels ofEALs CSI.1.b and CSl.2.b reflect the fact that with CONTAINMENT CLOSURE established, there is a lower probability of a fission product release to the environment. In the Cold Shutdown and Refueling Modes, LT/LI-4559, 4560, and 4561 (RX VESSEL NARROW RANGE LEVEL) instruments read up to 22" high due to hot calibrations. LI-4541 (WR GEMAC, FLOODUP) should be used in these Modes for comparison to EAL thresholds since it is calibrated cold and reads accurately. If normal means ofRPV level indication are not available due to plant evolutions, redundant means ofRPV level indication will be normally installed (including the ability to monitor level visually) to assure that the ability to monitor level will not be interrupted. In EAL CSI.3.a, the 30-minute criterion is tied to a readily recognizable event start time (i.e., the total loss of ability to monitor level), and allows sufficient time to monitor, assess and correlate reactor and plant conditions to determine if core uncovery has actually occurred (i.e., to account for various accident progression and instrumentation uncertainties). It also allows sufficient time for performance of actions to terminate leakage, recover inventory control/makeup equipment and/or restore level monitoring. The inability to monitor RPV level may be caused by instrumentation and/or power failures, or water level dropping below the range of available instrumentation. If water level cannot be monitored, operators may determine that an inventory loss is occurring by observing changes in sump and/or tank levels. Sump and/or tank level changes must be evaluated against other potential sources of water flow to ensure they are indicative ofleakage from the RPV. These EALs address concerns raised by Generic Letter 88-17, Loss ofDecay Heat Removal; SECY 91-283, Evaluation of Shutdown and Low Power Risk Issues; NUREG-1449, Shutdown and Low-Power Operation at Commercial Nuclear Power Plants in the United States; and NUMARC 91-06, Guidelines for Industry Actions to Assess Shutdown Management. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CG I or RGI. 54

CG1 ECL: General Emergency Initiating Condition: Loss of RPV inventory affecting fuel clad integrity with containment challenged. Operating Mode Applicability: 4, 5 Emergency Action Levels: Note: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. CGI.1 a. RPV level less than +15 inches for 30 minutes or longer. AND

55

Definitions: CONTAINMENT CLOSURE: Procedurally defined actions taken to secure containment and its associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under existing plant conditions. For DAEC, this is considered to be Secondary Containment as required by Technical Specifications. UNPLANNED: A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. Basis: This IC addresses the inability to restore and maintain reactor vessel level above the top of active fuel with containment challenged. This condition represents actual or IMMINENT substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA P AG exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area. Following an extended loss of core decay heat removal and inventory makeup, decay heat will cause reactor coolant boiling and a further reduction in reactor vessel level. If reactor vessel level cannot be restored, fuel damage is probable. With CONTAINMENT CLOSURE not established, there is a high potential for a direct and unmonitored release of radioactivity to the environment. If CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is re-established prior to exceeding the 30-minute time limit, then declaration of a General Emergency is not required. The existence of an explosive mixture means, at a minimum, that the containment atmospheric hydrogen concentration is sufficient to support a hydrogen burn (i.e., at the lower deflagration limit). A hydrogen burn will raise containment pressure and could result in collateral equipment damage leading to a loss of containment integrity. It therefore represents a challenge to Containment integrity. In the early stages of a core uncovery event, it is unlikely that hydrogen buildup due to a core uncovery could result in an explosive gas mixture in containment. If all installed hydrogen gas monitors are out-of-service during an event leading to fuel cladding damage, it may not be possible to obtain a containment hydrogen gas concentration reading as ambient conditions within the containment will preclude personnel access. During periods when installed containment hydrogen gas monitors are out-of-service, operators may use the other listed indications to assess whether or not containment is challenged. In EAL CG 1.2.a, the 30-minute criterion is tied to a readily recognizable event start time (i.e., the total loss of ability to monitor level), and allows sufficient time to monitor, assess and correlate reactor and plant conditions to determine if core uncovery has actually occurred (i.e., to account for various accident progression and instrumentation uncertainties). It also allows sufficient time for performance of actions to terminate leakage, recover inventory control/makeup equipment and/or restore level monitoring. For EAL CGl.2.b, the calculated radiation level on the Drywell Monitors (9184A/B) is without the reactor head in place. Calculated in radiation levels with the reactor head in place are below the normal variation in background readings of these monitors. 56

The inability to monitor RPV level may be caused by instrumentation and/or power failures or water level dropping below the range of available instrumentation. If water level cannot be monitored, operators may determine that an inventory loss is occurring by observing changes in sump and/or tank levels. Sump and/or tank level changes must be evaluated against other potential sources of water flow to ensure they are indicative of leakage from the RPV. For the Containment Challenge Table, Secondary Containment max safe operating (MSOL) limits from EOP 3 are defined as the highest parameter value at which neither: (1) equipment necessary for the safe shutdown of the plant will fail nor (2) personnel access necessary for the safe shutdown of the plant will be precluded. These EALs address concerns raised by Generic Letter 88-17, Loss ofDecay Heat Removal; SECY 91-283, Evaluation ofShutdown and Low Power Risk Issues; NUREG-1449, Shutdown and Low-Power Operation at Commercial Nuclear Power Plants in the United States; and NUMARC 91-06, Guidelines for Industry Actions to Assess Shutdown Management. 57

Table E-1 Cask Dose Rates 61BTDSC 3 feet from HSM Surface 800mrem/hr Outside HSM Door- Centerline of DSC 200mrem/hr End Shield Wall Exterior 40mrem/hr Definition: CONFJNEMENT BOUNDARY: The barrier(s) between spent fuel and the environment once the spent fuel is processed for dry storage. Basis: This IC addresses an event that results in damage to the CONFJNEMENT BOUNDARY of a storage cask containing spent fuef It applies to irradiated fuel that is licensed for dry storage beginning at the point that the loaded storage cask is sealed. The issues of concern are the creation of a potential or actual release path to the environment, degradation of one or more fuel assemblies due to environmental factors, and configuration changes which could cause challenges in removing the cask or fuel from storage. The existence of "damage" is determined by radiological survey. The technical specification multiple of"2 times", which is also used in Recognition Category RIC RUl, is used here to distinguish between-non-emergency and emergency conditions. The emphasis for this classification is the degradation in the level of safety of the spent fuel cask and not the magnitude of the associated dose or dose rate. It is recognized that in the case of extreme damage to a loaded cask, the fact that the "on-contact" dose rate limit is exceeded may be determined based on measurement of a dose rate at some distance from the cask. Security-related events for ISFSis are covered under ICs HUl and HAL 59

Basis Information For DAEC EAL Fission Product Barrier Table F-1 DAEC FUEL CLAD BARRIER THRESHOLDS: The Fuel Clad barrier consists of the zircalloy or stainless steel fuel bundle tubes that contain the fuel pellets.

1. RCS Activity Loss I.A This threshold indicates that RCS radioactivity concentration is greater than 300 µCi/gm dose equivalent I-131. Reactor coolant activity above this level is greater than that expected for iodine spikes. Since this condition indicates that a significant amount of fuel clad damage has occurred, it represents a loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier.

It is recognized that sample collection and analysis ofreactor coolant with highly elevated activity levels could require several hours to complete. Nonetheless, a sample-related threshold is included' as a backup to other indications.' There is no Potential Loss threshold associated with RCS Activity.

2. RPV Water Level Loss2.A The Loss threshold represents any EOP requirement for entry into the Severe Accident Guidelines.

This is identified in the BWROG EPGs/SAGs when adequate core cooling cannot be assured. Potential Loss 2.A This water level corresponds to the top of the active fuel and is used in the EOPs to indicate a challenge to core cooling. The RPV water level threshold is the same as RCS barrier Loss threshold 2.A. Thus, this threshold indicates a Potential Loss of the Fuel Clad barrier and a Loss of the RCS barrier that appropriately escalates the emergency classification level to a Site Area Emergency. 64

DAEC FUEL CLAD BARRIER THRESHOLDS (cont.): This threshold is considered to be exceeded when, as specified in the EOPs, RPV water cannot be restored and maintained above the specified level following depressurization of the RPV (either manually, automatically or by failure of the RCS barrier) or when procedural guidance or a lack oflow pressure RPV injection sources preclude Emergency RPV depressurization. EOPs allow the operator a wide choice ofRPV injection sources to consider when restoring RPV water level to within prescribed limits. EOPs also specify depressurization of the RPV in order to facilitate RPV water level control with low-pressure injection sources. In some events, elevated RPV pressure may prevent restoration of RPV water level until pressure drops below the shutoff heads of available injection sources. Therefore, this Fuel Clad barrier Potential Loss is met only after either: 1) the RPV has been depressurized, or required emergency RPV depressurization has been attempted, giving the operator an opportunity to assess the capability of low-pressure injection sources to restore RPV water level or 2) no low pressure RPV injection systems are available, precluding RPV depressurization in an attempt to minimize loss ofRPV inventory. The term "cannot be restored and maintained above" means the value ofRPV water level is not able to be brought above the specified limit (top of active fuel). The determination requires an evaluation of system performance and availability in relation to the RPV water level value and trend. A threshold prescribing declaration when a threshold value cannot be restored and maintained above a specified limit does not require immediate action simply because the current value is below the top of active fuel, but does not permit extended operation below the limit; the threshold must be considered reached as soon as it is apparent that the top of active fuel cannot be attained; In high-power ATWS/failure to scram events, EOPs may direct the operator to deliberately lower RPV water level to the top of active fuel in order to reduce reactor power. RPV water level is then contrqlled between the top of active fuel and the Minimum Steam Cooling RPV Water Level (MSCRWL). Although such action is a challenge to core cooling and the Fuel Clad barrier, the immediate need to reduce reactor power is the higher priority. For such events, ICs SA6 or SS6 will dictate the need for emergency classification. Since the loss of ability to determine if adequate core cooling is being provided presents a significant challenge to the fuel clad barrier, a potential loss of the fuel clad barrier is specified.

DAEC FUEL CLAD BARRIER THRESHOLDS (cont.):

4. Primary Containment Radiation Loss 4.A and Loss 4.B The Drywell and Torus radiation monitor readings correspond to an instantaneous release of all reactor coolant mass into the Drywell or Torus, assuming that reactor coolant activity corresponds to approximately 5% fuel clad damage. Since this condition indicates that a significant amount of fuel clad damage has occurred, it represents a loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier.

The radiation monitor readings in this threshold are higher than that specified for RCS Barrier Loss threshold 4.A since it indicates a loss of both the Fuel Clad Barrier and the RCS Barrier. Note that a combination of the two monitor readings appropriately escalates the emergency classification level to a Site Area Emergency. There is no Potential Loss threshold associated with Primary Containment Radiation.

5. Other Indications Loss 5.A Results obtained from procedure PASAP 7.2, Fuel Damage Assessment, indicate at least 5% fuel clad damage.

There is no Potential Loss threshold associated with Other Indications.

6. Emergency Director Judgment Loss 6.A This threshold addresses any other factors that are to be used by the Emergency Director in determining whether the Fuel Clad Barrier is lost.

Potential Loss 6.A This threshold addresses any other factors that may be used by the Emergency Director in determining whether the Fuel Clad Barrier is potentially lost. The Emergency Director should also consider whether or not to declare the barrier potentially lost in the event that barrier status cannot be monitored. 66

DAEC RCS BARRIER THRESHOLDS: The RCS Barrier is the reactor coolant system pressure boundary and includes the RPV and all reactor coolant system piping up to and including the isolation valves.

1. Primary Containment Conditions Loss 1.A 2 psig is the drywell high pressure scram setpoint which indicates a LOCA by automatically initiating ECCS.

There is no Potential Loss threshold associated with Primary Containment Pressure.

2. RPV Water Level Loss2.A
       +15 inches corresponds to the top of active fuel (TAF) and is, used in the EOPs to indicate challenge to core cooling.

The RPV water level threshold is the same as Fuel Clad barrier Potential Loss threshold 2.A. Thus, this threshold indicates a Loss of the RCS barrier and Potential Loss of the Fuel Clad barrier and that appropriately escalates the emergency classification level to a Site Area Emergency. This threshold is considered to be exceeded when, as specified in the EOPs, RPV water cannot be restored and maintained above the specified level following depressurization of the RPV (either manually, automatically or by failure of the RCS barrier) or when procedural guidance or a lack oflow pressure RPV injection sources preclude Emergency RPV depressurization EOPs allow the operator a wide choice ofRPV injection sources to consider when restoring RPV water level to within prescribed limits. EOPs also specify depressurization ofthe RPV in order to facilitate RPV water level control with low-pressure injection sources. In some events, elevated RPV pressure may prevent restoration ofRPV water level until pressure drops below the shutoff heads of available injection sources. Therefore, this RCS barrier Loss is met only after either: 1) the RPV has been depressurized, or required emergency RPV depressurization has been attempted, giving the operator an opportunity to assess the capability of low-pressure injection sources to restore RPV water level or 2) no low pressure RPV injection systems are available, precluding RPV depressurization in an attempt to minimize loss ofRPV inventory. The term, "cannot be restored and maintained above," means the value of RPV water level is not able to be brought above the specified limit (top of active fuel). The determination requires an evaluation of system performance and availability in relation to the RPV water level value and trend. A threshold prescribing declaration when a threshold value cannot be restored and maintained above a specified limit does not require immediate action simply because the current value is below the top of active fuel but does not permit extended operation beyond the limit; the threshold must be considered reached as soon as it is apparent that the top of active fuel cannot be attained. 67

DAEC RCS BARRIER THRESHOLDS (cont.): In high-power ATWS/failure to scram events, EOPs may direct the operator to deliberately lower RPV water level to the top of active fuel in order to reduce reactor power. RPV water level is then controlled between the top of active fuel and the Minimum Steam Cooling RPV Water Level (MSCRWL). Although such action is a challenge to core cooling and the Fuel Clad barrier, the immediate need to reduce reactor power is the higher priority. For such events, ICs SAS or SS5 will dictate the need for emergency classification. There is no RCS Potential Loss threshold associated with RPV Water Level.

3. RCS Leak Rate Loss Threshold 3.A Large high-energy lines that rupture outside primary containment can discharge significant amounts of inventory and jeopardize the pressure-retaining capability of the RCS until they are isolated. If it is determined that the ruptured line cannot be promptly isolated from the Control Room, the RCS barrier Loss threshold is met.

Loss Threshold 3 .B Emergency RPV Depressurization maccordance with the EOPs is indicative of a loss of the RCS barrier. If Emergency RPV Depressurization is performed, the plant operators are directed to open safety relief valves (SRVs) and keep them open. Even though the RCS is being vented into the suppression pool, a Loss of the RCS barrier exists due to the diminished effectiveness of the RCS to retain fission products within its boundary. Potential Loss Threshold 3.A Potential loss of RCS based on primary system leakage outside the primary containment is determined from EOP temperature or radiation Max Normal Operating values in areas such as main steam line tunnel, RCIC, HPCI, etc., which indicate a direct path from the RCS to areas outside primary containment.

  • A Max Normal Operating Limit (MNOL) value is'the highest value of the identified parameter expected to occur during normal plant operating conditions with all directly associated support and control systems functioning properly.

The indicators reaching the threshold barriers and confirmed-to be caused by RCS leakage from a primary system warrant an Alert classification. A primary system is defined to be the pipes, valves, and other equipment which connect directly to the RPV such that a reduction in RPV pressure will effect a decrease in the steam or water being discharged through an unisolated break in the system. An UNISOLABLE leak which is indicated by MNOL values escalates to a Site Area Emergency when combined with Containment Barrier Loss threshold 3.A (after a containment isolation) and a General Emergency when the Fuel Clad Barrier criteria is also exceeded. 68

DAEC RCS BARRIER THRESHOLDS (cont.):

4. Primary Containment Radiation Loss4.A The Drywell monitor reading corresponds to an instantaneous release of all reactor coolant mass into the primary containment, assuming that reactor coolant activity equals Technical Specification allowable limits. This value is lower than that specified for Fuel Clad Barrier Loss threshold 4.A since it indicates a loss of the RCS Barrier only.

There is no Potential Loss threshold associated with Primary ~ontainment Radiation.

5. Other Indications There are no Loss or Potential Loss thresholds associated with Other Indications.
6. Emergency Director Judgment Loss 6.A This threshold addresses any other factors that are to be used by the Emergency Director in determining whether the RCS barrier is lost.

Potential Loss 6.A This threshold addresses any other factors that may be used by the Emergency Director in determining whether the RCS Barrier is potentially lost. The Emergency Director should also consider whether or not to declare the barrier potentially lost in the event that barrier status cannot be monitored. 69

DAEC CONTAINMENT BARRIER THRESHOLDS: The Primary Containment Barrier includes the drywell, the wetwell, their respective interconnecting paths, and other connections up to and including the outermost containment isolation valves. Containment Barrier thresholds are used as criteria for escalation of the ECL from Alert to a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency.

1. Primary Containment Conditions Loss I .A and l .B Rapid UNPLANNED loss of drywell pressure (i.e., not attributable to drywell spray or condensation effects) following an initial pressure increase indicates a loss of drywell integrity. Drywell pressure should increase as a result of mass and energy release into the primary containment from a LOCA. Thus, drywell pressure not increasing under these conditions indicates a loss of primary containment integrity.

These thresholds rely on operator recognition of an unexpected response for the condition and therefore a specific value is not assigned. The unexpected (UNPLANNED) response is important because it is the indicator for a containment bypass condition. Loss l.C The use of the modifier "direct" in defining the reiease path discriminates against release paths through interfacing liquid systems or minor release pathways, such as instrument lines, not protected by the Primary Containment Isolation System (PCIS). The existence of a filter is not considered in the threshold assessment. Filters do not remove fission product noble gases. In addition, a filter could become ineffective due to iodine and/or particulate loading beyond design limits (i.e., retention ability has been exceeded) or water saturation from steam/high humidity in the release stream. Following the leakage of RCS mass into primary containment and a rise in primary containment pressure, there may be minor radiological releases associated with allowable primary containment leakage through various penetrations or system components. Minor releases may also occur if a primary containment isolation valve(s) fails to close but the primary containment atmosphere escapes to an enclosed system. These releases do not constitute a loss or potential loss of primary containment but should be evaluated using the Recognition Category R ICs. Loss l.D EOPs may direct primary containment isolation valve logic(s) to be intentionally bypassed, even if offsite radioactivity release rate limits will be exceeded. Under these conditions with a valid primary containment isolation signal, the containment should also be considered lost if primary containment venting is actually performed. Intentional venting of primary containment for primary containment pressure or combustible gas control to the secondary containment and/or the environment is a Loss of the Containment. Venting for primary containment pressure control when not in an accident situation (e.g., to control pressure below the drywell high pressure scram setpoint) does not meet the threshold condition. 70

DAEC CONTAINMENT BARRIER THRESHOLDS (cont.): Potential Loss 1.A The threshold pressure is the Torus internal design pressure. Structural acceptance testing demonstrates the capability of the primary containment to resist pressures greater than the internal design pressure. A pressure of this magnitude is greater than those expected to result from any design basis accident and, thus, represent a Potential Loss of the Containment barrier. Potential Loss l .B If hydrogen concentration reaches or exceeds the lower flammability limit, as defined in plant EOPs, in an oxygen rich environment, a potentially explosive mixture exists. If the combustible mixture ignites inside the primary containment, loss of the Containment barrier could occur. Potential Loss 1.C The Heat Capacity Limit (HCL) is the highest suppression pool temperature from which Emergency RPV Depressurization will not raise:

  • Suppression chamber temperature above the maximum temperature capability of the suppression chamber and equipment within the suppression chamber which may be required to operate when the RPV is pressurized, OR
  • Suppression chamber pressure above Primary Containment Pressure Limit A, while the rate of energy transfer from the RPV to the containment is greater than the capacity of the containment vent.

The HCL is a function ofRPV pressure, suppression pool temperature and suppression pool water level. It is utilized to preclude failure of the containment and equipment in the containment necessary for the safe shutdown of the plant and therefore, the inability to maintain plant parameters below the limit constitutes a potential loss of containment. 71

DAEC CONTAINMENT BARRIER THRESHOLDS (cont.):

2. RPV Water Level There is no Loss threshold associated with RPV Water Level.

Potential Loss 2.A The Potential Loss threshold is identical to the Fuel Clad Loss RPV Water Level threshold 2.A. The Potential Loss requirement for Primary Containment Flooding indicates adequate core cooling cannot be restored and maintained and that core damage is possible. BWR EPGs/SAGs specify the conditions that require primary containment flooding. When primary containment flooding is required, the EPGs are exited and SAGs are entered. Entry into SAGs is a logical escalation in response to the inability to restore and maintain adequate core cooling. PRA studies indicate that the condition of this Potential Loss threshold could be a core melt sequence which, if not corrected, could lead to RPV failure and increased potential for primary containment failure. In conjunction with the RPV water level Loss thresholds in the Fuel Clad and RCS barrier columns, this threshold results in the declaration of a General Emergency.

3. Primary Containment Isolation Failure These thresholds address incomplete containment isolation that allows an UNISOLABLE direct release to the environment.

Loss 3.A The Max Safe Operating Limit (MSOL) for Temperature and Radiation Level are each the highest value of these parameters at which neither: (I) equipment necessary for the safe shutdown of the plant will fail, nor (2) personnel access necessary for the safe shutdown of the plant will be precluded. EOPs utilize these temperatures and radiation levels to establish conditions under which RPV depressurization is required. The temperatures and radiation levels should be confirmed to be caused by RCS leakage from a primary system. A primary system is defined to be the pipes, valves, and other equipment which connect directly to the RPV such that a reduction in RPV pressure will effect a decrease in the steam or water being discharged through an un:isolated break in the system. In combination with RCS potential loss 3.A this threshold would result in a Site Area Emergency. There is no Potential Loss threshold associated with RCS Leak Rate. 72

DAEC CONTAINMENT BARRIER THRESHOLDS (cont.):

4. Primary Containment Radiation There is no Loss threshold associated with Primary Containment Radiation.

Potential Loss 4.A The drywell radiation monitor reading corresponds to an instantaneous release of all reactor coolant mass into the drywell, assuming that 20% of the fuel cladding has failed. The radiation monitor reading for the torus corresponds to an instantaneous release of all reactor coolant mass directly into the torus, assuming that 20% of the fuel cladding has failed. This level of fuel clad failure is well above that used to determine the analogous Fuel Clad Barrier Loss and RCS Barrier Loss thresholds. NUREG-1228, Source Estimations During Incident Response to Severe Nuclear Power Plant Accidents, indicates the fuel clad failure must be greater than approximately 20% in order for there to be a major release of radioactivity requiring offsite protective actions. For this condition to exist, there must already have been a loss of the RCS Barrier and the Fuel Clad Barrier. It is therefore prudent to treat this condition as a potential loss of containment which would then escalate the emergency classification level to a General Emergency.

5. Other Indications There is no Loss threshold associated with Other Indications Potential Loss 5.A Results obtained from procedure P ASAP 7 .2, Fuel Damage A~sessment, indicate at least 25% fuel clad damage. PASAP 7 .2 only shows whether fuel damage is greater than or less than 25%, thus this indication is not likely to be declared before containment barrier potential loss 4.A which indicates 20% fuel damage. However, this potential loss threshold adds an additional layer of diversity to the scheme.
6. Emergency Director Judgment Loss 6.A This threshold addresses any other factors that are to be used by the Emergency Director in determining whether the Containment barrier is lost.

Potential Loss 6.A This threshold addresses any other factors that may be used by the Emergency Director in determining whether the Containment Barrier is potentially lost. The Emergency Director should also consid~r whether or not to declare the barrier potentially lost in the event that barrier status cannot be monitored. 73

HUl.2 Notification of a credible security threat directed at DAEC. HUI.3 A validated notification from the NRC providing information of an aircraft threat. Definitions: SECURITY CONDITION: Any Security Event as listed in the approved security contingency plan that constitutes a threat/compromise to site security, threat/risk to site personnel, or a

  • potential degradation to the level of safety of the plant. A SECURITY CONDITION does not involve a HOSTILE ACTION.

HOSTILE ACTION: An act toward DAEC 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. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. HOSTILE ACTION should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the* nuclear power plant. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e., this may include violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area). SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are classified as safety-related. Basis: This IC addresses events that pose a threat to plant personnel or SAFETY SYSTEM equipment, and thus represent a potential degradation in the level of plant safety. Security events which do not meet one of these EALs are adequately addressed by the requirements of 10 CFR 73.71 or 10 CFR 50.72. Security events assessed as HOSTILE ACTIONS are classifiable under ICs HAI, HSI and HGl. Timely and accurate communications between DAEC Security Shift Supervision and the Control Room is essential for proper classification of a security-related event. Classification of these events will initiate appropriate threat-related notifications to plant personnel and offsite response organizations. 76

Security plans and terminology are based on the guidance provided by NEI 03-12, Template for the Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan [and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Security Program]. EAL HUl.l references DAEC Security Shift Supervision because these are the individuals trained to confirm that a security event is occurring or has occurred. Training on security event confirmation and classification is controlled due to the nature of Safeguards and 10 CFR § 2.390 information. EAL HU 1.2 addresses the receipt of a credible security threat. The credibility of the threat is assessed iti accordance with Abnormal Operating Procedure (AOP) 914, Security Events. EAL HUl .3 addresses the threat from the impact of an aircraft on the plant. The NRC Headquarters Operations Officer (HOO) will communicate to the licensee if the threat involves an aircraft. The status and size of the plane may also be provided by NORAD through the NRC. Validation of the threat is performed in accordance with Abnormal Operating Procedure (AOP) 914, Security Events. Emergency plans and implementing procedures are public documents;.therefore, EALs do not incorporate Security-sensitive information. This includes information that may be advantageous to a potential adversary, such as the particulars concerning a specific threat or threat location. Security-sensitive information is contained in the Security Plan.

HU2 ECL: Notification of Unusual Event Initiating Condition: Seismic event greater than OBE levels. Operating Mode Applicability: All Emergency Action Levels: HU2. l Seismic event greater than Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE) as indicated by receipt of the Amber Operating Basis Earthquake Light and the wailing seismic alarm on IC35. Definitions: DESIGN BASIS EARTHQUAKE (DBE): A DBE is vibratory ground motion for which certain (generally, safety-related) structures, systems, and components must be designed to remain functional. OPERATING BASIS EARTHQUAKE (OBE): An OBE is vibratory ground motion for which those features of a nuclear power plant necessary for continued operation without undue risk to the health and safety of the public will remain functional. Basis: This IC addresses a seismic event that results in accelerations at the plant site greater than those specified for an Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE). An earthquake greater than an OBE but less than a Design Basis Earthquak~ (DBE) should have no significant impact on safety-relate.d systems, structures and components; however, some time may be required for the plant staff to ascertain the actual post-event condition of the plant (e.g., performs walk-downs and post-event inspections). Given the time necessary to perform walk-downs and inspections, and fully understand any impacts, this event represents a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Event verification with external sources should not be necessary during .or following an OBE. Earthquakes of this magnitude should be readily felt by on-site personnel and recognized as a seismic event. The Shift Manager or Emergency Director may seek external verification if deemed appropriate (e.g., a call to the USGS, check internet news sources, etc.); however, the verification action must not preclude a timely emergency declaration. OBE events are detected in accordance with AOP 901. The OBE is associated with a peak horizontal acceleration of+/- 0.06g. Depending upon the plant mode at the time of the event, escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CA6 or SA8. 78

SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are classified as safety-related. Basis: This IC addresses hazardous events that are considered to represent a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. , EAL HU3. l addresses a tornado striking (touching down) within the Protected Area. EAL HU3.2 addresses flooding of a building room or area that results in operators isolating power to a SAFETY SYSTEM component due to water level or other wetting concerns. Classification is also required if the water level or related wetting causes an automatic isolation of a SAFETY SYSTEM component from its power source (e.g., a breaker or relay trip). To warrant classification, operability of the affected component must be required by Technical Specifications for the current operating mode. EAL HU3.3 addresses a hazardous materials event originating at an offsite location and of sufficient magnitude to impede the movement of personnel within the PROTECTED AREA. 79

EAL HU3 .4 addresses a hazardous event that causes an on-site impediment to vehicle movement and significant enough to prohibit the plant staff from accessing the site using personal vehicles. Examples of such an event include site flooding caused by a hurricane, heavy rains, up-river water releases, dam failure, etc., or an on-site train derailment blocking the access road. This EAL is not intended apply to routine impediments such as fog, snow, ice, or vehicle breakdowns or accidents, but rather to more significant conditions such as the Hurricane Andrew strike on Turkey Point in 1992, the flooding around the Cooper Station during the Midwest floods of 1993, or the flooding around Ft. Calhoun Station in 2011. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be based on ICs in Recognition Categories R, F, Sor C. 80

HU4 ECL: Notification of Unusual Event Initiating Condition: FIRE potentially degrading the level of safety of the plant. Operating Mode Applicability: All Emergency Action Levels: Notes:

Definitions: FIRE: Combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute FIRES. Observation of flame is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. PROTECTED AREA: The area under continuous access monitoring and control, and armed protection as described in the site Security Plan. Basis: This IC addresses the magnitude and extent of FIRES that may be indicative of a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. EALHU4.l The intent of the 15-minute duration is to size the FIRE and to discriminate against small FIRES that are readily extinguished (e.g., smoldering waste paper basket). In addition to alarms, other indications of a FIRE could be a drop in fire main pressure, automatic activation of a suppression system, etc. Upon receipt, operators will take prompt actions to confirm the validity of an initial fire alarm, indication, or report. For EAL assessment purposes, the emergency declaration clock starts at the time that the initial alarm, indication, or report was received, and not the time that a subsequent verification action was performed. Similarly, the fire duration clock also starts at the time of receipt of the initial alarm, indication or report. EALHU4.2 This EAL addresses receipt of a single frre alarm, and the existence of a FIRE is not verified (i 7e., proved or disproved) within 30-minutes of the alarm. TJpon receipt, operators will take prompt actions to confrrm the validity of a single fire alarm. *For EAL assessment purposes, the 30-minute clock starts at the time that the initial alan:ii was received, and not the time that a subsequent verification action was performed. A single fire alarm, absent other indication(s) of a FIRE, may be indicative of equipment failure or a spurious activation, and not an actual FIRE. For this reason, additional time is allowed to verify the validity of the alarm. The 30-minute period is a reasonable amount of time to determine if an actual FIRE exists; however, after that time, and absent information to the contrary, it is assumed that an actual FIRE is in progress. If an actual FIRE is verified by a report from the field, then EAL HU4. l is immediately applicable, and the emergency must be declared if the FIRE is not extinguished within 15 minutes of the report. If the alarm is verified to be due to an equipment failure or a spurious activation, and this verification occurs within 30-minutes of the receipt of the alarm, then this EAL is not applicable and no emergency declaration is warranted. EALHU4.3 In addition to a FIRE addressed by EAL HU4.l or EAL HU4.2, a FIRE within the plant or ISFSI PROTECTED AREA not extinguished within 60-minutes may also potentially degrade the level of plant safety. This basis extends to a FIRE occurring within the PROTECTED AREA of an ISFSI located outside the plant PROTECTED AREA. 82

EALHU4.4 If a FIRE within the plant or ISFSI PROTECTED AREA is of sufficient size to require a response by an offsite firefighting agency (e.g., a local town Fire Department), then the level of plant safety is potentially degraded. The dispatch of an offsite firefighting agency to the site requires an emergency declaration only if it is needed to actively support firefighting efforts because the fire is beyond the capability of the Fire Brigade to extinguish. Declaration is not necessary if the agency resources are placed on stand-by, or supporting post-extinguishment recovery or investigation actions. Basis-Related Reguirements from Appendix R and NFPA-805 Criterion 3 of Appendix A to IO CFR 50 states in part that "structures, systems, and components important to safety shall be designed and located to minimize, consistent with other safety requirements, the probability and effect of fires and explosions." The Nuclear Safety Goal ("NSG") in NFPA 805, Section 1.3.1 states, "The nuclear safety goal is to provide reasonable assurance that a fire during any operational mode and plant configuration will not prevent the plant from achieving and maintaining the fuel in a safe and stable condition." When considering the effects of fire, those systeips associated with achieving and maintaining safe shutdown conditions assume major importance because a safe shutdown success path, free of fire damage, must be available to meet the nuclear safety goals, objectives and performance criteria for a fire under any plant operational mode or configuration. Because fire may affect safe shutd,own systems and because the loss of function of systems ., used to mitigate the consequences of design basis accidents under post-fire conditions does' not per se impact public safety, the need to limit fire damage to systems required to achieve and maintain safe shutdown conditions is greater than the need to limit fire damage to those systems required to mitigate the consequences of design basis accidents. In addition, Appendix R to 10 CFR 50, requires, among other considerations, the use of I-hour fire barriers for the enclosure of cable and equipment and associated non-safety circuits of one redundant train (G.2.c). Even though DAEC has adopted the alternate approach provided by NFPA-805 in lieu of the deterministic requirements of Appendix R, the 30-minutes to verify a single alarm as used in EAL HU4.2 is considered a reasonable amount of time to determine if an actual FIRE exists without presenting a challenge to the nuclear safety performance criteria. Depending upon the plant mode at the time of the event, escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CA6 or SA8. 83

HU6 ECL: 'Notification of Unusual Event Initiating Condition: Other conditions exist which in the judgment of the Emergency Director warrant declaration of a NOUE. Operating Mode Applicability: All Emergency Action Levels: HU6.l Other conditions exist which in the judgment of the Emergency Director indicate that events are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of SAFETY SYSTEMS occurs. Definitions: SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are classified as safety-related. Basis: This IC addresses unanticipated conditions not addressed explicitly elsewhere but that warrant declaration of an emergency because conditions exist which are believed by the Emergency Director to fall under the emergency classification level description for a NOUE. 84

HA1 ECL: Alert Initiating Condition: HOSTILE ACTION within the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA or airborne attack threat within 30 minutes. Operating Mode Applicability: All Emergency Action Levels: HAI.I A HOSTILE ACTION is occurring or has occurred within the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA as reported by the DAEC Security Shift Supervision. HAI.2 A validated notification from NRC of an aircraft attack threat within 30 minutes of the site. Definitions: HOSTAGE: A person(s) held as leverage against the station to ensure that demands will be met by the station. HOSTILE ACTION: An act toward DAEC or its personnelthat 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. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. HOSTILE ACTION should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the nuclear power plant. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e., this may include violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area). OWNER CONTROLLED AREA: The site property owned by or*otherwise under the control of the licensee. PROJECTILE: An object directed toward a nuclear power plant that could cause concern for its continued operability, reliability, or personnel safety. Basis: This IC addresses the occurrence of a HOSTILE ACTION within the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA or notification of an aircraft attack threat. This event will require rapid response and assistance due to the possibility of the attack progressing to the PROTECTED AREA, or the need to prepare the plant and staff for a potential aircraft impact. Timely and accurate communications between DAEC Security Shift Supervision and the Control Room is essential for proper classification of a security-related event. Security plans and terminology are based on the guidance provided by NEI 03-12, Template for the Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan [and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Security Program}. As time and conditions allow, these events require a heightened state ofreadiness by the plant staff and implementation of onsite protective measures (e.g., evacuation, dispersal or sheltering). 85

The Alert declaration will also heighten the awareness of Offsite Response Organizations, allowing them to be better prepared should it be necessary to consider further actions. This IC does not apply to incidents that are accidental events, acts of civil disobedience, or otherwise are not a HOSTILE ACTION perpetrated by a HOSTILE FORCE. Examples include the crash of a small aircraft, shots from hunters, physical disputes between employees, etc. Reporting of these types of events is adequately addressed by other EALs, or the requirements of 10 CFR 73.71 or 10 CFR 50.72. EAL HA 1.1 is applicable for any HOSTILE ACTION occurring, or that has occurred, in the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA. This includes any action directed against the ISFSI which is located outside the plant PROTECTED AREA. EAL HAI .2 addresses the threat from the impact of an aircraft on the plant, and the anticipated arrival time is within 30 minutes. The intent of this EAL is to ensure that threat-related notifications are made in a timely manner so that plant personnel and offsite response organizations are in a heightened state ofreadiness. This EAL is met when the threat-related information has been validated in accordance with Abnormal Operating Procedure (AOP) 914, Security Events. The NRC Headquarters Operations Officer (HOO) will communicate to the licensee if the threat involves an aircraft. The status and size of the plane may be provided by NORAD through the NRC. In some cases, it may not be readily apparent if an aircraft impact within the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA was intentional (i.e., a HOSTILE ACTION). It is expected, although not certain, that notification by an appropriate Federal agency to the site would clarify this point. In this case, the appropriate federal,,agency is intended to be NORAD, FBI, FAA or NRC. The emergency declaration, including one based on other ICs/EALs, should not be unduly delayed while awaiting notification by a Federal agency. Emergency plans and implementing procedures are public documents; therefore, EALs do not incorporate Security-sensitive information. This includes information that may be advantageous to a potential adversary, such as the particulars concerning a specific threat or threat location. Security-sensitive information is contained in the Security Plan. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC HSI. 86

HAS ECL: Alert Initiating Condition: Control Room evacuation resulting in transfer of plant control to alternate locations. Operating Mode Applicability: All Emergency Action Level: HAS.I An event has resulted in plant control being transferred from the Control Room to the Remote Shutdown Panel (IC388). Definitions: None Basis: This IC addresses an evacuation of the Control Room that results in transfer of plant control to alternate locations outside the Control Room. The loss of the ability to control the plant from the Control Room is considered to be a potential substantial degradation in the level of plant safety. Following a Control Room evacuation, control of the plant will be transferred to alternate* shutdown locations. The necessity to control a plant shutdown from outside the Control Room, in addition to responding to the event that required the evacuation of the Control Room, will present challenges to plant operators and other on-shift personnel. Activation of the ERO and emergency response facilities will assist in re.sponding to these challenges. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC HS5. 87

HA6 ECL: Alert Initiating Condition: Other conditions exist which in the judgment of the Emergency Director warrant declaration of an Alert. Operating Mode Applicability: All Emergency Action Level: HA6.1 Other conditions exist which, in the judgment of the Emergency Director, indicate that events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels. Definitions: HOSTILE ACTION: An act toward DAEC 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. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. HOSTILE ACTION should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on*the nuclear power plant. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e., this may include violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area). HOSTAGE: A person(s) held as leverage against the station to ensure that demands will be met by the station. PROJECTILE: An object directed toward a nuclear power plant.that could cause concern for its continued operability, reliability, or personnel safety. Basis: This IC addresses unanticipated conditions not addressed explicitly elsewhere but that warrant declaration of an emergency because conditions exist which are believed by the Emergency Director to fall under the emergency classification level description for an Alert. 88

HS1 ECL: Site Area Emergency Initiating Condition: HOSTILE ACTION within the PROTECTED AREA. Operating Mode Applicability: All Emergency Action Levels: HS 1.1 A HOSTILE ACTION is occurring or has occurred within the PROTECTED AREA as reported by the DAEC Security Shift Supervision. Definitions: HOSTILE ACTION: An act toward DAEC 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. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. HOSTILE ACTION should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the nuclear power plant.

HOSTAGE: A person(s) held as leverage against the station to ensure that demands will be met by the station. *

  • HOSTILE FORCE: One or more individuals who are engaged in a determined assault, overtly or by stealth and deception, equipped with suitable weapons capable of killing, maiming, or causing destruction.

PROJECTILE: An object directed toward a nuclear power plant that could cause concern for its continued operability, reliability, or personnel safety. PROTECTED AREA: The area under continuous access monitoring and control, and armed protection as described in the site Security Plan. Basis: This IC addresses the occurrence of a HOSTILE ACTION within the PROTECTED AREA. This event will require rapid response and assistance due to the possibility for damage to plant equipment. Timely and accurate communications between DAEC Security Shift Supervision and the Control Room is essential for proper classification of a security-related event. Security plans and terminology are based on the guidance provided by NEI 03-12, Template for the Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Safegu.ards Contingency Plan [and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Security Program]. 89

As time and conditions allow, these events require a heightened state of readiness by the plant staff and implementation of onsite protective measures (e.g., evacuation, dispersal or sheltering). The Site Area Emergency declaration will mobilize offsite response organization resources and have them available to develop and implement public protective actions in the unlikely event that the attack is successful in impairing multiple safety functions. This IC does not apply to a HOSTILE ACTION directed at th.e ISFSI PROTECTED AREA which is located outside the plant PROTECTED AREA; such an attack should be assessed using IC HAL It also does not apply to incidents that are accidental events, acts of civil disobedience, or otherwise are not a HOSTILE ACTION perpetrated by a HOSTILE FORCE. Examples include the crash of a small aircraft, shots from hunters, physical disputes between employees, etc. Reporting of these types of events is adequately addressed by other EALs, or the requirements of 10 CFR 73.71 or 10 CFR 50.72. Emergency plans and implementing procedures are public documents; therefore, EALs do not incorporate Security-sensitive information. This includes information that may be advantageous to a potential adversary, such as the particulars concerning a specific threat or threat location.

HS5 ECL: Site Area Emergency Initiating Condition: Inability to control a key safety function from outside the Control Room. Operating Mode Applicability: All Emergency Action Levels: Note: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. HS5.l a. An event has resulted in plant control being transferred from the Control Room to the Remote Shutdown Panel (1C388). AND

b. Control of ANY of the following key safety functions is not reestablished within 20minutes.
  • Reactivity control
  • RPV water level
  • RCS heat removal Definitions:

None B;sis: This IC addresses an evacuation of the Control Room that results in transfer of plant control to alternate locations, and the control of a key safety function cannot be reestablished in a timely manner. The failure to gain control of a key safety function following a transfer of plant control to alternate locations is a precursor to a challenge to one or more fission product barriers within a relatively short period of time. The determination of whether or not "control" is established at the Remote Shutdown Panel (1C388) is based on Emergency Director judgment. The Emergency Director is expected to make a reasonable, informed judgment within 20 minutes whether or not the operating staff has control of key safety functions from the remote safe shutdown location(s). AOP 915, "Shutdown Outside Control Room" provides the following CAUTION - "For Control Room evacuation as the result ofa fire, transfer ofcontrol at panels 1 C388, 1 C389, 1 C390, 1 C391, and 1 C392 is required to be completed within 20 minutes." Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC FG 1 or CG 1. 91

HS6 ECL: Site Area Emergency Initiating Condition: Other conditions exist which in the judgment of the Emergency Director warrant declaration of a Site Area Emergency. Operating Mode Applicability: All Emergency Action Level: HS6.l Other conditions exist which in the judgment of the Emergency Director indicate that events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentional damage or malicious acts, (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or, (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary. Definitions: HOSTILE ACTION: An act toward DAEC 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.

HG6 ECL: General Emergency Initiating Condition: Other conditions exist which in the judgment of the Emergency Director warrant declaration of a General Emergency. Operating Mode Applicability: All Emergency Action Level: HG6.1 Other conditions exist which in the judgment of the Emergency Director indicate that events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or IMMINENT substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area. Definitions: HOSTILE ACTION: An act toward DAEC 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.

11 SYSTEM MALFUNCTION ICS/EALS 96

SU1 ECL: Notification of Unusual Event Initiating Condition: Loss of ALL offsite AC power capability to essential buses for 15 minutes or longer. Operating Mode Applicability: 1, 2, 3 Emergency Action Level: Note: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. SUI.I Loss of ALL offsite AC power capability to 1A3 AND 1A4 buses for 15 minutes or longer. Definitions: None Basis: This IC addresses a prolonged loss of offsite power. The loss of offsite power sources renders the plant more vulnerable to a complete loss of power to AC essential buses. This condition represents a potential reduction in the level of safety of the plant. The intent of this EAL is to declare a Notification of Unusual Event when offsite power has been lost and both of the emergency diesel generators have successfully started and energized their respective 4kv essential bus.

  • For emergency classification purposes, "capability" means that an offsite AC power source(s) is available to the essential buses, whether or not the buses are powered from it.

Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of offsite power. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC SAl. 97

SU3 ECL: Notification of Unusual Event Initiating Condition: UNPLANNED loss of Control Room indications for 15 minutes or longer. Operating Mode Applicability: 1, 2, 3 Emergency Action Level: Note: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. SU3.l An UNPLANNED event results in the inability to monitor one or more of the Table S-1 parameters from within the Control Room for 15 minutes or longer.

  • Reactor power
  • RPV Water Level
  • RPV Pressure Primary Containment Pressure Suppression Pool Level Suppression Pool Temperature Definitions:

SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are classified as safety-related.

  • UNPLANNED: A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown.

Basis: This IC addresses the difficulty associated with monitoring normal plant conditions without the ability to obtain SAFETY SYSTEM parameters from within the Control Room. This condition is a precursor to a more significant event and represents a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant. As used in this EAL, an "inability to monitor" means that values for one or more of the listed parameters cannot be determined from within the Control Room. This situation would require a loss of all of the Control Room sources for the given parameter(s). For example, the reactor power level cannot be determined from any analog, digital and recorder source within the Control Room. 98

An event involving a loss of plant indications, annunciators and/or display systems is evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 (and associated guidance in NUREG-1022) to determine if an NRC event report is required. The event would be reported if it significantly impaired the capability to perform emergency assessments. In particular, emergency assessments necessary to implement abnormal operating procedures, emergency operating procedures, and emergency plan implementing procedures addressing emergency classification, accident assessment, or protective action decision-making.

  • This EAL is focused on a selected subset of plant parameters associated with the key safety functions of reactivity control, RPV level and RCS heat removal. The loss of the ability to determine one or more of these parameters from within the Control Room is considered to be more significant than simply a reportable condition. In addition, if all indication sources for one or more of the listed parameters are lost, then the ability to determine the values of other SAFETY SYSTEM parameters may be impacted as well. For example, if the value for RPV water level cannot be determined from the indications and recorders on a main control board, the SPDS or the plant computer, the availability of other parameter values may be compromised as well.

Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of indication. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC SA3. 99

SU4 ECL: Notification of Unusual Event Initiating Condition: Reactor coolant activity greater than Technical Specification allowable limits. Operating Mode Applicability: 1, 2, 3 Emergency Action Levels: SU4.l Pretreatment Offgas System (RM-4104) Hi-Hi Radiation Alarm. SU4.2 Sample analysis indicates that reactor coolant specific activity is greater than 2.0 µCi/gm

           . dose equivalent 1-131 for 12 hours orlonger.

Definitions: None Basis: This IC addresses a reactor coolant activity value that exceeds an allowable limit specified in Technical Specifications. This condition is a precursor to a more significant event and represents a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. For EAL SU4.l, RM-4104 Hi-Hi Radiation Alarm has been chosen because it is operationally

,. significant, is readily recognizable by the Control Room Operations Staff, and is set at a level

, corresponding to noble gas release rate, after 30-minut~ delay and decay of 1 Ci/sec. For EAL SU4.2, coolant samples exceeding the 2.0 µCi/gm dose equivalent I-13lconcentration require prompt action by DAEC Technical Specifications and are representative of minor fuel cladding degradation. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via ICs FAl or the Recognition Category R ICs. 100

SUS ECL: Notification of Unusual Event Initiating Condition: RCS leakage for 15 minutes or longer. Operating Mode Applicability: 1, 2, 3 Emergency Action Levels: Note: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. SU5.l RCS unidentified or pressure boundary leakage greater than 10 gpm for 15 minutes or longer. SU5.2 RCS identified leakage greater than 25 gpm for 15 minutes or longer. SU5.3 Leakage from the RCS to a location outside containment greater than 25 gpm for 15 minutes or longer. Definitions: UNISOLABLE: An open or breached system line that cannot be isolated, remotely or locally. Basis: This IC addresses RCS leakage which may be a precursor to a more significant event. In this case, RCS leakage has been detected and operators, following applicable procedures, have been unable to promptly isolate the leak. This condition is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. EAL SU5.1 and EAL SU5 .2 are focused on a loss of mass from the RCS due to "unidentified leakage", "pressure boundary leakage" or "identified leakage" (as these leakage types are defined in the vlant Technical Specifications). EAL SU5.3 addresses a RCS mass loss caused by an UNISOLABLE leak through an interfacing system. These EALs thus apply to leakage into the containment, a secondary-side system) or a location outside of containment. The leak rate values for each EAL were selected because they are usually observable with normal Control Room indications. Lesser values typically require time-consuming calculations to determine (e.g., a mass balance calculation). EAL SU5.l uses a lower value that reflects the greater significance of unidentified or pressure boundary leakage. The release of mass from the RCS due to the as-designed/expected operation of a relief valve does not warrant an emergency classification. A stuck-open Safety Relief Valve (SRV) or SRV leakage is not considered either identified or unidentified leakage by Technical Specifications and, therefore, is not applicable to this EAL. The 15-minute threshold duration allows sufficient time for prompt operator actions to isolate the leakage, if possible. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via ICs of Recognition Category R or F. 101

SU6 ECL: Notification of Unusual Event 1 Initiating Condition: Automatic or manual scram fails to shutdown the reactor. Operating Mode Applicability: 1, 2 Emergency Action Levels: Note: A manual action is any operator action, or set of actions, which causes the control rods to be rapidly inserted into the core, and does not include manually driving in control rods or implementation of boron injection strategies. SU6.l a. An automatic scram did not shutdown the reactor. AND

b. ANY of the following manual actions taken at 1C05 are successful in lowering reactor power below 5% power
  • Manual Scram Pushbuttons
  • Mode Switch to Shutdown
  • Alternate Rod Insertion (ARI)

SU6.2 a. A manual scram did not shutdown the reactor. AND

b. EITHER of the following:
1. ANY of the following subsequent manual actions taken at 1C05 are successful in lowering reactor power below 5% power.
  • Manual Scram Pushbuttons *
  • Mode Switch to Shutdown
  • Alternate Rod Insertion (ARI)

OR

2. A subsequent automatic scram is successful in shutting down the reactor.

Definitions: None Basis: This IC addresses a failure of the RPS to initiate or complete an automatic or manual reactor scram that results in a reactor shutdown, and either a subsequent operator manual action taken at the reactor control consoles or an automatic scram is successful in shutting down the reactor. This event is a precursor to a more significant condition and thus represents a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Following the failure on an automatic reactor scram, operators will promptly' initiate manual actions at the reactor control console to shutdown the reactor (e.g., initiate a manual reactor scram quickly fall to a level within the capabilities of the plant's decay heat removal systems. 102

If an initial manual reactor scram is unsuccessful, operators will promptly take manual action at another location(s) on the reactor control console to shutdown the reactor (e.g., initiate a manual reactor scram using a different switch). Depending upon several factors, the initial or subsequent effort to manually scram the reactor, or a concurrent plant condition, may lead to the generation of an automatic reactor scram signal. If a subsequent manual or automatic scram is successful in shutting down the reactor, core heat generation will quickly fall to a level within the capabilities of the plant's decay heat removal systems. A manual action at the reactor control console is any operator action, or set of actions, which causes the control rods to be rapidly inserted into the core (e.g., initiating a manual reactor scram). This action does not include manually driving in control rods or implementation of boron injection strategies. Actions taken at back-panels or other locations within the Control Room, or any location outside the Control Room, are not considered to be "at the reactor control console". Taking the Reactor Mode Switch to SHUTDOWN is considered to be a manual scram action. The plant response to the failure of an automatic or manual reactor scram will vary based upon several factors including the reactor power level prior to the event, availability of the condenser, performance of mitigation equipment and actions, other concurrent plant conditions, etc. If subsequent operator manual actions taken at the reactor control consoles are also unsuccessful in shutting down the reactor, then the emergency classification level will escalate to an Alert via IC SA6. Depending upon the plant response, escalation is also possible via IC F Al. Absent the plant conditions needed to meet either IC SA6 or FAl, an Unusual Event declaration is appropriate for this event. The reactor should be considered shutdown when it is producing less heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the SAFETY SYSTEMS are designed (typically 3 to 5% power). Should a reactor scram signal be generated as a result of plant work (e.g., RPS setpoint testing), the following classification guidance should be applied.

  • If the signal causes a plant transient ~at should have included an automatic reactor scram and the RPS fails to automatically shutdown the reactor, then this IC and the EALs are applicable, and should be evaluated.
  • If the signal does not cause a plant transient and the scram failure is determined through other m~ans (e.g., assessment oftest results), then this IC and the EALs are not applicable and no classification is warranted.

103

SU7 ECL: Notification of Unusual Event Initiating Condition: Loss of ALL onsite or offsite communications capabilities. Operating Mode Applicability: 1, 2, 3 Emergency Action Levels: SU7.l Loss of ALL of the following onsite communication methods:

  • Plant Operations Radio System
  • In-Plant Phone System
  • Plant Paging System (Gaitronics)

SU7.2 Loss of ALL of the following offsite response organization communications methods:

  • DAEC All-Call phone
  • All telephone lines (PBX and commercial)
  • Cell Phones (including fixed cell phone system)
  • Control Room fixed satellite phone system
  • FTS Phone system SU7.3 Loss of ALL of the following NRC communications methods:
  • FTS Phone system *,
  • All telephone lines (PBX and commercial)
  • Cell Phones (including fixed cell phone system)
  • Control Room fixed satellite phone system Basis:

This IC addresses a significant loss of on-site or offsite communications capabilities. While not a direct challenge to plant or personnel safety, this event warrants prompt notifications to offsite response organizations and the NRC. This IC should be assessed only when extraordinary means are being utilized to make communications possible (e.g., use of non-plant, privately owned equipment, relaying of on-site information via individuals or multiple radio transmission points, individuals being sent to offsite locations, etc.). EAL SU7 .1 addresses a total loss of the communications methods used in support of routine plant operations. EAL SU7.2 addresses a total loss of the communications methods used to notify all offsite response organizations of an emergency declaration. The offsite response organizations referred to here are the State of Iowa, Linn County, and Benton County. EAL SU7.3 addresses a total loss of the communications methods used to notify the NRC of an emergency declaration. 104

SA1 ECL: Alert Initiating Condition: Loss of ALL but one AC power source to essential buses for 15 minutes or longer. Operating Mode Applicability: 1, 2, 3 Emergency Action Level: Note: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. SAI.1 a. AC power capability to 1A3 and 1A4 buses is reduced to a single power source for 15 minutes or longer. AND

b. ANY additional single power source failure will result in a loss of ALL AC power to SAFETY SYSTEMS.

Definitions: SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are classified as safety-related. Basis: This IC describes a significant degradation of offsite and onsite AC power sources such that any additional single failure would result in a loss of all AC power to SAFETY SYSTEMS. In this condition, the sole AC power source may be powering one, or more than one, train of safety-related equipment. This IC provides an escalation path from IC SUI. An "AC power source" is a source recognized in AOPs and EOPs, and capable of supplying required power to an emergency bus. Some examples of this condition are presented below.

  • A loss of all offsite power with a concurrent failure of all but one emergency power source (e.g., an onsite diesel generator).
  • A loss of emergency power sources (e.g., onsite diesel generators) with a single train of essential buses being fed from an offsite power source.

Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of power. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC SSL 105

SA3 ECL: Alert Initiating Condition: UNPLANNED loss of Control Room indications for 15 minutes or longer with a significant transient in progress. Operating Mode Applicability: I, 2, 3 Emergency Action Level: Note: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. SA3.l a. An UNPLANNED event results in the inability to monitor one or more Table S-1 parameters from within the Control Room for 15 minutes or longer.

Definitions: SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are classified as safety-related. UNPLANNED: A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may

  • be known or unknown.

Basis: This IC addresses the difficulty associated with monitoring rapidly changing plant conditions during a transient without the ability to obtain SAFETY SYSTEM parameters from within the Control Room. During this condition, the margin to a potential fission product barrier challenge is reduced. It thus represents a potential substantial degradation in the level of safety of the plant. As used in this EAL, an "inability to monitor" means that values for one or more of the listed parameters cannot be determined from within the Control Room. This situation would require a loss of all of the Control Room sources for the given parameter(s). For example, the reactor power level cannot be determined from any analog, digital and recorder source within the Control Room. An event involving a loss of plant indications, annunciators and/or display systems is evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 (and associated guidance in NUREG-1022) to determine if an NRC event report is required. The event would be reported if it significantly impaired the capability to perform emergency assessments. In particular, emergency assessments necessary to implement abnormal operating procedures, emergency operating procedures, and emergency plan implementing procedures addressing emergency classification, accident assessment, or protective action decision-making. This EAL is focused on a selected subset of plant parameters associated with the key safety functions of reactivity control, RPV level and RCS heat removal. The loss of the ability to determine one or more of these parameters from within the Control Room is considered to be more significant than simply a reportable condition. In addition, if all indication sources for one or more of the listed parameters are lost, then the ability to determine the values of other SAFETY SYSTEM parameters may be impacted as well. For example, if the value for RPV water level cannot be determined from the indications and recorders on a main control board, the SPDS or the plant computer, the availability of other parameter values may be compromised as well. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of indication. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via ICs FSl or IC RSl. 107

SA6 ECL: Alert Initiating Condition: Automatic or manual scram fails to shutdown the reactor, and subsequent manual actions taken at the reactor control consoles are not successful in shutting down the reactor. Operating Mode Applicability: 1, 2 Note: A manual action is any operator action, or set of actions, which causes the control rods to be rapidly inserted into the core, and does not include manually driving in control rods or implementation of boron injection strategies. Emergency Action Level: SA6.l a. An automatic or manual scram did not shutdown the reactor. AND

b. ALL of the following manual actions taken at 1C05 are not successful in lowering reactor power below 5% power
  • Manual Scram Pushbuttons
  • Mode Switch to Shutdown
  • Alternate Rod Insertion (ARI)

Definitions: None Basis: This IC addresses a failure of the RPS to initiate or complete an automatic or manual reactor scram that results .in a reactor shutdown, and subsequent operator manual actions taken at the reactor control consoles to shutdown the reactor are also unsuccessful. This condition represents an actual oi- potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. An emergency declaration is required even if the reactor is subsequently shutdown by an action taken away from the reactor control consoles since this event entails a significant failure of the RPS. A manual action at the reactor control consoles is any operator action, or set of actions, which causes the control rods to be rapidly inserted into the core (e.g., initiating a manual reactor scram. This action does not include manually driving in control rods or implementation of boron injection strategies. If this action(s) is unsuccessful, operators would immediately pursue additional manual actions at locations away from the reactor control consoles (e.g., locally opening breakers). Actions taken at back-panels or other locations within the Control Room, or any location outside the Control Room, are not considered to be "at the reactor control consoles." Taking the Reactor Mode Switch to SHUTDOWN is considered to be a manual scram action. 108

The plant response to the failure of an automatic or manual reactor scram will vary based upon several factors including the reactor power level prior to the event, availability of the condenser, performance of mitigation equipment and actions, other concurrent plant conditions, etc. If the failure to shutdown the reactor is prolonged enough to cause a challenge to the RPV water level or RCS heat removal safety functions, the emergency classification level will escalate to a Site Area Emergency via IC SS6. Depending upon plant responses and symptoms, escalation is also possible via IC FS1. Absent the plant conditions needed to meet either IC SS6 or FS1, an Alert declaration is appropriate for this event. It is recognized that plant responses or symptoms may also require an Alert declaration in accordance with the Recognition Category F ICs; however, this IC and EAL are included to ensure a timely emergency declaration. The reactor should be considered shutdown when it is producing less heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the SAFETY SYSTEMS are designed (typically 3 to 5% power). 109

SAS ECL: Alert Initiating Condition: Hazardous event affecting a SAFETY SYSTEM needed for the current operating mode. Operating Mode Applicability: 1, 2, 3 Emergency Action Level: Notes:

  • If the affected SAFETY SYSTEM train was already inoperable or out of service before the hazardous event occurred, then this emergency classification is not warranted.
  • If the hazardous event only resulted in VISIBLE DAMAGE, with no indications of degraded performance to at least one train of the SAFETY SYSTEM, then this emergency classification is not warranted.

b. 1. Event damage has caused indications of degraded performance in one train of a SAFETY SYSTEM needed for the current operating mode.

AND

2. EITHER of the following:
  • Event damage has caused indications of degraded performance to a second train of the SAFETY SYSTEM needed for the current operating mode, OR
  • The event has resulted in VISIBLE DAMAGE to the second train of a SAFETY SYSTEM needed for the current operating mode.

llO

Definitions: EXPLOSION: A rapid, violent and catastrophic failure of a piece of equipment due to combustion, chemical reaction or overpressurization. A release of steam (from high energy lines or components) or an electrical component failure (caused by short circuits, grounding, arcing, etc.) should not automatically be considered an explosion. Such events may require a post-event inspection to determine if the attributes of an explosion are present. FIRE: Combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute FIRES. Observation of flame is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are classified as safety-related. VISIBLE DAMAGE: Damage to a component or structure that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analysis. The visual impact of the damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the affected component or structure. Damage resulting from an equipment failure and limited to the failed component (i.e., the failure did not cause damage to a structure or any other equipment) is not VISIBLE DAMAGE. Basis: This IC addresses a hazardous event that causes damage to SAFETY SYSTEMS needed for the current operating mode. *In order to provide the appropriate context for consideration of an ALERT classification, the hazardous event must have caused indications of degraded SAFETY SYSTEM performance in one train, and there must be either indications of performance issues with the second SAFETY,SYSTEM train or VISIBLE DAMAGE to the second train such that the potential exists for this second SAFETY SYSTEM train to have performance issues. In other words, in order for this EAL to be classified, the hazardous event must occur, at least one SAFETY SYSTEM train must have indications of degraded performance, and the second SAFETY SYSTEM train must have indications of degraded performance or VISIBLE DAMAGE such that the potential exists for performance issues. Note that this second SAFETY SYSTEM train is from the same SAFETY SYSTEM that has indications of degraded performance for criteria SA8. l .b. l of this EAL; commercial nuclear power plants are designed to be able to support single system issues without compromising public health and safety from radiological events. An event affecting a single-train SAFETY SYSTEM (i.e., there are indications of degraded performance and/or VISIBLE DAMAGE affecting the one train) would not be classified under SA8 because the two-train impact criteria that underlie the EALs and Bases would not be met. If an event affects a single-train SAFETY SYSTEM, then the emergency classification should be made based on plant parameters/symptoms meeting the EALs for another IC. Depending upon the circumstances, classification may also occur based on Shift Manager/Emergency Director judgement. Indications of degraded performance addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is in service/operation since indications for it will be readily available. The indications of degraded performance should be significant enough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM train. 111

VISIBLE DAMAGE addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is not in service/operation and that potentially could cause performance issues. Operators will make this determination based on the totality of available event and damage report information. This is intended to be a brief assessment not requiring lengthy analysis or quantification of the damage. This VISIBLE DAMAGE should be significant enough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM train. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC FS 1 qr RS 1. 112

SS1 ECL: Site Area Emergency Initiating Condition: Loss of ALL offsite and ALL onsite AC power to essential buses for 15

 ,minutes or longer.

Operating Mode Applicability: 1, 2, 3 Emergency Action Level: Note: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. SSl.l Loss of ALL offsite and ALL onsite AC power to 1A3 and IA4 buses for 15 minutes or longer. Definitions: SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are classified as safety-related. Basis: This IC addresses a total loss of AC power that compromises the performance of all SAFETY SYSTEMS requiring electric power including those necessary for emergency core cooling, containment heat removal/pressure control, spent fuel heat removal and the ultimate heat sink. In addition, fi~~ion product barrier monitoring capabilities may be degraqed under these conditions. * - This IC represents a condition that involves actual or likely major failures of plant functions need(ld for the protection of the public. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via ICs RGI, FG 1 or SG1. 113

SS2 ECL: Site Area Emergency Initiating Condition: Loss of ALL Vital DC power for 15 minutes or longer. Operating Mode Applicability: 1, 2, 3 Emergency Action Level: Note: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. SS2. l Indicated voltage is less than 105 VDC on BOTH Div 1 and Div 2 125 VDC buses for 15 minutes or longer. Definitions: SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are classified as safety-related. Basis: Th1s IC addresses a loss of Vital DC power which compromises the ability to monitor and control SAFETY SYSTEMS. In modes above Cold Shutdown, this condition involves a major failure of plant functions needed for the protection of the public. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via I Cs RG 1, FG 1 or SG2. 114

SS6 ECL: Site Area Emergency Initiating Condition: Inability to shutdown the reactor causing a challenge to RPV water level or RCS heat removal. Operating Mode Applicability: I, 2 Emergency Action Levels: SS6.l a. An automatic or manual scram did not shutdown the reactor. AND

b. ALL of the following manual actions taken at IC05 are not successful in lowering reactor power below 5% power:
  • Manual Scram Pushbuttons
  • Mode Switch to Shutdown
  • Alternate Rod Insertion (ARI)

AND

c. EITHER of the following conditions exist:
  • RPV level cannot be restored and maintained above -25 inches.

OR

  • HCL (Graph 4 of EOP 2) exceeded.

Definitions: None Basis: This IC addresses a failure of the RPS to initiate or complete an automatic or manual reactor scram that results in a reactor shutdown, all subsequent operator actions to manually shutdown the reactor are unsuccessful, and continued power generation is challenging the capability to adequately remove heat from the core and/or the RCS. This condition will lead to fuel damage if additional mitigation actions are unsuccessful and thus warrants the declaration of a Site Area Emergency. In some instances, the emergency classification resulting from this IC/EAL may be higher than that resulting from an assessment of the plant respo:nses and symptoms against the Recognition Category F ICs/EALs. This is appropriate in that the Recognition Category F ICs/EALs do not address the additional threat posed by a failure to shutdown the reactor. The inclusion of this IC and EAL ensures the timely declaration of a Site Area Emergency in response to prolonged failure to shutdown the reactor. The reactor should be considered shutdown when it is producing less heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the SAFETY SYSTEMS are designed (typically 3 to 5% power). Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC RGI or FG I. 115

1 SG1 ECL: General Emergency Initiating Condition: Prolonged loss of ALL offsite and ALL onsite AC power to essential buses. Operating Mode Applicability: 1, 2, 3 Emergency Action Level: Note: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. SGI.1 a. Loss of ALL offsite and ALL onsite AC power to 1A3 and 1A4 buses. AND

b. EITHER of the following:
  • Restoration of at least one AC essential bus in less than 4 hours is not likely.

OR

  • RPV level cannot be restored and maintained above -25 inches.

Definitions: SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are classified as safety-related. Basis: This IC addresses a prolonged loss of all power sources to AC essential buses. A loss of all AC power compromises the performance of all SAFETY SYSTEMS requiring electric power including those necessary for emergency core cooling, *containment heat removal/pressure control, spent fuel heat removal and the ultimate heat sink. A prolonged loss of these buses will lead to a loss of one or more fission product barriers. In addition, fission product barrier , monitoring capabilities may be degraded under these conditions. The EAL should require declaration of a General Emergency prior to meeting the thresholds for IC FG 1. This will allow additional time for implementation of offsite protective actions. Escalation of the emergency classification from Site Area Emergency will occur if it is projected that power cannot be restored to at least one AC essential bus by the end of the 4 hour station blackout coping period. Beyond this time, plant responses and event trajectory are subject to greater uncertainty, and there is an increased likelihood of challenges to multiple fission product barriers. The estimate for restoring at least one essential bus should be based on a realistic appraisal of the situation. Mitigation actions with a low probability of success should not be used as a basis for delaying a classification upgrade. The goal is to maximize the time available to prepare for, and implement, protective actions for the public. The EAL will also require a General Emergency declaration if the loss of AC power results in parameters that indicate an inability to adequately remove decay heat from the core. 116

SG2 ECL: General Emergency Initiating Condition: Loss of ALL AC and Vital DC power sources for 15 minutes or longer. Operating Mode Applicability: 1, 2, 3 Emergency Action Level: Note: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that the applicable time has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. SG2.l a. Loss of ALL offsite and ALL onsite AC power to 1A3 and 1A4 buses for 15 minutes or longer. AND

b. Indicated voltage is less than 105 VDC on BOTH Div 1 and Div 2 125 VDC buses for 15 minutes or longer.

Definitions: SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are classified as safety-related. Basis: This IC addresses a concurrent and*ptolonged loss of both AC and Vital DC power. A loss of all AC power compromises the performance of all SAFETY SYSTEMS requiring electric power including those necessary for emergency core cooling, containment heat removal/pressure control, spent fuel heat removal and the ultimate heat sink. A loss of Vital DC power compromises the ability to monitor and control SAFETY SYSTEMS. A sustained loss of both AC and DC power will lead to multiple challenges to fission product barriers. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses. The 15-minute emergency declaration clock begins at the point when both EAL thresholds are met. 117

APPENDIX B- DEFINITIONS The following definitions are taken from Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, and related regulatory guidance documents. Alert: Events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA PAG exposure levels. General Emergency: Events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or IMMINENT substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA PAG exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area. Notification of Unusual Event (NOUE): Events are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of SAFETY SYSTEMS occurs. Site Area Emergency: Events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed forprotection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that

.results in intentional damage or malicious acts; 1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; 2) that prevent effective access to, equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA PAG exposure levels beyond the site boundary.

The following are key terms necessary for overall understanding the DAEC emergency . classification scheme. Emergency Action Level (EAL): A pre-determined, site-specific, observable threshold for an Initiating Condition that, when met or exceeded, places the plant in a given emergency classification level. Emergency Classification Level (ECL): One of a set of names or titles established by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for grouping off-normal events or conditions according to (1) potential or actual effects or consequences, and (2) resulting onsite and offsite response actions. The emergency classification levels, in ascending order of severity, are: Notification of Unusual Event (NOUE) Alert Site Area Emergency (SAE) General Emergency (GE) B-1

Fission Product Barrier Threshold: A pre-determined, site-specific, observable threshold indicating the loss or potential loss of a fission product barrier. Initiating Condition (IC): An event or condition that aligns with the definition of one of the four emergency classification levels by virtue of the potential or actual effects or consequences. Selected terms used in Initiating Condition and Emergency Action Level statements are set in all capital letters ( e.g., ALL CAPS). These words are defined terms that have specific meanings as used in this document. The definitions of these terms are provided below. CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY: The barrier(s) between spent fuel and the environment once the spent fuel is processed for dry storage. This corresponds to the pressure boundary for the Dry Shielded Canister (DSC) shell (including the inner bottom cover plate) base metal and associated confinement boundary welds. CONTAINMENT CLOSURE: Procedurally defined actions taken to secure containment and its associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under existing plant conditions. For DAEC, this is considered to be Secondary Containment as required by Technical Specifications. DESIGN BASIS EARTHQUAKE (DBE): A DBE is vibratory ground motion for which certain (generally, safety-related) structures, systems, and components must be designed to remain functional. EXPLOSION: A rapid, violent and catastrophic failure of a piece of equipment due to combustion, chemical reaction or overpressurization. A release of steam (from high energy lines or components) or an electrical component failure (caused by short circuits, grounding, arcing, etc.) should not automatically be considered an explosion. Such events may require a post-event inspection to determine if the attributes of an explosion are present. n FIRE: Combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute FIRES. Observation of flame is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. HOSTAGE: A person(s) held as leverage against the station to ensure that demands will be met by the station. HOSTILE ACTION: An act 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. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. HOSTILE ACTION should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the nuclear power plant. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e., this may include violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area). HOSTILE FORCE: One or more individuals who are engaged in a determined assault, overtly or by stealth and deception, equipped with suitable weapons capable of killing, maiming, or causing destruction. B-2

IMMINENT: The trajectory of events or conditions is such that an EAL will be met within a relatively short period of time regardless of mitigation or corrective actions. INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI): A complex that is designed and constructed for the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive materials associated with spent fuel storage. OPERATING BASIS EARTHQUAKE (OBE): An OBE is vibratory ground motion for which those features of a nuclear power plant necessary for continued operation without undue risk to the health and safety of the public will remain functional. OWNER CONTROLLED AREA: This term is typically taken to mean the site property owned by or otherwise under the control of the licensee. PROJECTILE: An object directed toward a nuclear power plant that could cause concern for its continued operability, reliability, or personnel safety. PROTECTED AREA: The area under continuous access monitoring and control, and armed protection as described in the site Security Plan. REFUELING PATHWAY: Includes all the cavities, tubes, canals and pools through which irradiated fuel may be moved, but not including the reactor vessel. SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These systems are classified as safety-related. SECURITY CONDITION: Any Security Event as listed in the approved security contingency plan that constitutes a threat/compromise to site security, threat/risk to site personnel, or a potential degradation to the level of safety of the plant. A SECURITY CONDITION does not involve a HOSTILE ACTION. SITE BOUNDARY: That line beyond which the land is neither owned, nor leased, nor otherwise controlled by the Company. UFSAR Figure 1.2-1 identifies the DAEC SITE BOUNDARY. UNISOLABLE: An open or breached system line that cannot be isolated, remotely or locally. UNPLANNED: A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. ' VISIBLE DAMAGE: Damage to a component or structure that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analysis. The visual impact of the damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the affected component or structure. Damage resulting from an equipment failure and limited to the failed component (i.e., the failure did not cause damage to a structure or any other equipment) is not VISIBLE DAMAGE. B-3

Where the Technical Bases Document evaluates all three fission product barriers simultaneously for a specific sub-category, this matrix presents each fission product barrier individually for all sub-categories. The significance of this presentation is that where the fission product barrier table in the Technical Bases Document moves vertically through the sub-categories, this matrix moves horizontally. 38

1.0 Purpose and Scope

The Duane Arnold Energy Center site is implementing the guidance of Revision 6 to the Document NEI 99-01, "Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors," which is the industry-developed methodology for emergency classification for the current operating fleet. Changes to the definitions of the condition for entry into the Emergency Action Level (EAL) RU1 result in the development of a new entry threshold value for this EAL. This calculation provides calculated threshold values for the following EALs (from NEI 99-01, Rev. 6). Note that NEI 99-01 designates abnormal radiological conditions as "AU," NEE has adopted the "RU" designation permitted under the guidance. (1) Reading on ANY effluent radiation monitor greater than 2 times the (site-specific effluent release controlling document) limits for 60 minutes or longer. (2) Reading on ANY effluent radiation monitor greater than 2 times the alarm setpoint established by a current radioactivity discharge permit for 60 minutes or longer. This calculation uses the latest radiation monitor setpoints to determine the resultant EAL thresholds. Page 4 of9

Action Levels ------ - - - - - - - - - - 1 REV. 00 6.0 Methodology The alarm setpoint of a radioactive noble gas effluent monitor is calculated on the basis of whole body dose equivalent rate offsite of 500 mrem/yr per the ODAM. The alarm setpoint for liquid radwaste effluent line provides automatic isolation when 1O times the water effluent concentration listed in 10 CFR 20 Appendix B, Table 2, is being exceeded in the unrestricted area per the ODAM. These setpoints are in accordance with Technical Specifications limits specified in 5.5.4b and 5.5.4g. This calculation considers historical setpoint determination for gaseous release (PCP 8.3) and liquid effluent (PCP 8.7). The latest three setpoints for each monitor were reviewed. Due to the high variance for some of the monitors, the latest alarm setpoint is used to determine the EAL thresholds. Page 7 of9

Thresholds corresponding to the latest setpoints are calculated and presented here. For example the latest PCP 8.3 setpoint for Offgas stack is 9.84E-02

            µCi/cc. This value is d_oubled to 1.97E-01 µCi/cc to correspond to the RU1 threshold. The remaining threshold values are shown in Table 5.

Revised Liquid Radiological EALs per NEI 99-01 NO. REV. NEE-323-CALC-004 00

1.0 Purpose and Scope

The Duane Arnold Energy Center is implementing the guidance of Revision 6 to NEI 99-01, "Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors," which is the industry-developed methodology for emergency classification for the current operating fleet. Changes to the definitions of the condition for entry into the Emergency Action Level (EAL) RA1 result in the development of a new entry threshold value for this EAL. This calculation determines the liquid radiation monitor readings that correspond to the new EAL thresholds for the release of liquid radioactivity resulting in offsite dose greater than 1O mrem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) or 50 mrem thyroid Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) for one hour of exposure. 2.0 Summary of Results and Conclusions A spreadsheet was used to calculate the monitor counts per second (cps) reading necessary to reach offsite dose of 1O mrem TEDE or 50 mrem child thyroid organ dose as described in Section 7.0. The output from that spreadsheet is seen below. Table 1- Monitor Response for Liquid Radiological EAL Thresholds Rad Monitor Equip.

4.0 Assumptions 4.1 For the calculation determining the RA 1 EAL for Reactor Modes 1, 2 and 3, the source is assumed to have decayed for 2 hours before reaching the receptor. This decay time is appropriate to produce best estimate results for liquid effluent thresholds for the corresponding Reactor Modes. 4.2 For the calculation determining the RA1 EAL for Reactor Modes 4 and 5, the source is assumed to have decayed for 36 hours before reaching the receptor. This decay time is appropriate to produce best estimate results for liquid effluent thresholds for the corresponding Reactor Modes. 4.3 Per the ODAM, a mixing ratio of 5 is assumed when the effluent mixes with the water in the river. This correlates to a dilution ratio of 1/5 = 0.2. While the ODAM Page 5 of23

5.4 Dose transfer factors for radionuclides in effluent water for a child through the potable water pathway are taken from ODAM Appendix C, and shown in Table 9. 6.0 Methodology 6.1 General Approach With a given mixture of radionuclides, the dose received by an individual offsite is a function of the gross activity present in the liquid mixture. The resultant dose ~eceived by an offsite receptor is dependent not only on the gross radioactivity levels of the effluent but also upon the isotopic mixture present in the Page 8 of23

Revised Liquid Radiological EALs per NEI 99-01 NO. REV. 00 liquid. This calculation predicts the relative contribution of each radionuclide to the gross radiation monitored by the liquid effluent monitor. For a liquid release, the only phenomenon affecting the mixture is radioactive decay. With the mixture known, a given gross output reading (cps) from a liquid effluent radiation monitor can be scaled to determine the concentration of each isotope present in the liquid effluent. The calculation then uses liquid dilution factors as described in the Offsite Dose Assessment Manual to determine the resultant concentration of radionuclides to which an individual offsite would be exposed. Dose conversion factors are used to determine the dose (mrem) to an individual offsite due to their exposure to the liquid mixture of radionuclides. With the given radionuclide mixture and dilution factors understood, an iterative process can be used to relate the liquid effluent monitor reading to a target offsite dose. Two types of radiation dose are calculated:

  • Thyroid COE or Committed Dose Equivalent is the radiation dose to the thyroid due to an uptake of radioactive material. In this case, the uptake is limited to ingestion of radioactive material present in river water.
  • TEDE or Total Effective Dose Equivalent is the summation of the Effective Dose Equivalent (EDE) and the Committed Effective Dose Equivalent (CEDE):

TEDE = EDE + CEDE. . ,.

  • EDE is the dose due to an individual being directly exposed (by submersion) to the radiation present .in the liquid release. For this scenario, the individual is not actually immersed in the liquid, but boating above it so a correction factor is applied. * *
  • CEDE is the sum of the COE for each organ of the body with weighting factors applied for each organ.

6.2 Scenario The ODAM described dose pathways focus on long term ingestion of radionuclides through various food pathways. This is in sharp contrast to the NEI thresholds which limit the exposure to one hour. To meet the prescribed one hour exposure scenario, the following scenario will be used:

  • An adult and a child are fishing from a boat on the Cedar River downstream of the facility. While they are there, a radioactive liquid release from the facility oc-curs. The release lasts one hour.
  • During that time frame each of the individuals ingests 500 milliliters of river water.
  • The individuals leave the area one hour after the start of the exposure when they heed the announcement from the ERO siren system.

The pathways thus indicated are drinking water and boating. Page 9 of23

Revised Liquid Radiological EALs NO. per NEI 99-01 REV. 00 6.3 Radioactive Source The gross radioactive concentration is converted from cps to µCi/ml using the monitor efficiencies from Design Input 5.1. For example, the gross radioactive concentration in the GSW system with an indication of 10000 cps from the GSW Rad. Monitor is calculated as follows: 10000 f*r 1 µCi/ml 4.57E-03 µCi/ml 2.19E+06 f*r With the total concentration of the effluent known, given a mixture of isotopes where the relative amount of each isotope is known, the isotopic mixture in the effluent can be determined. The isotopic mixture and half-lives used in this calculation come from Design Input 5.2. In order to determine the radiation dose to the receptor, the concentrations affecting the receptor must be known. For Plant Modes 1, 2, and 3, a source decay time of two hours is assumed to account for transit time (Assumption 4.1 ). For Plant Modes 4 and 5, a source decay time of 36 hours is assumed (Assumption 4.2). The NUREG-1940 source is decayed using Design Input 5.2.

Revised Liquid Radiological EALs NO. per NEI 99-01 REV. 00 6.4 TEDE Dose To determine the TEDE dose for a one hour exposure, two components are considered.

1. Direct exposure to the radioactive water present in the river is considered, commonly described as Effective Dose Equivalent (EDE).
2. Committed Effective Dose Equivalent (CEDE) is considered, which is the dose com-mitment due to the ingestion or inhalation of a mixture of radioactive material.

6.4.1 EDE Immersion dose is calculated with guidance provided in Federal Guidance Report 12 (FGR12). With the isotopic concentration at the receptor known (Table 6), the dose (mrem) at the receptor can be calculated: Where Xir= concentration of radionuclide i present in the water at the receptor (µCi/ mP i= . ' each isotope present in the liquid release hTi= factor from FGR12 for converting the liquid concentration to effective dose equivalent from Design Input 5.3 (mrem ml /'sec µCi) The dose coefficients in Design Input 5.3 from FGR12 relate the radioactive concentration of a liquid to the dose received by a person who is immersed in the liquid. FGR 12 also provides this statement about the relationship between immersion dose and dose received while boating: Exposure during boating activities The dose coefficients for immersion in contaminated water in Table 111.2 assume Immersion in an infinite pool and, thus, are appropriate for exposure while swimming. External exposure to contaminated water can also occur during boating activities. For photon exposure, a dose-reduction factor of 0.5 during boating activities is a reasonable value that Is unlikely to underestimate external dose equivalents. 6.4.2 CEDE To calculate the Committed Effective Dose Equivalent due to the consumption of contaminated water, the ALI values from Design Input 5.3 are used.

The ALI value is the Annual Limit for Intake and represents the number of microcuries that would have to be ingested to cause a dose of 5 rem to an occupationally exposed worker. Following the conversion of the ALI values to units of "mrem per µCi" the following equation can be used to determine radiation dose due to ingestion of a liquid mixture of radioisotopes.

For an occupationally exposed worker, drinking those 500 milliliters of water contaminated with Co-60 would result in a dose of 12.5 mrem. Per Section 6.4.2, this is multiplied by 2, generating 25 mrem. Note that there are three hard-to-detect isotopes (HTDs) present in the mixture: Fe-55, H-3 and Ni-63. Because they do not emit gamma rays, they are not detected by the service water radiation monitor. Therefore, they are effectively removed from the gross gamma calculation calibrating the monitor response (Columns H, I, and J). The HTDs are then scaled back into the calculation of the applied dose. For illustrative purposes, for the isotope Ag-11 Om, the cell formulas are displayed . The decayed mixture from column F is taken from Table 6. Column M contains the multiplier for the 500 ml volume consumed and the 2x multiplier factor for members of the public.

As can be seen above, the dilution factor (0.20) is included in the efficiency equation to account for the fact that the concentration in the river will be only 20% of the concentration seen by the effluent rad monitor per Assumption 4.3. ,. The concentrations for the individual isotopes are scaled to the gross concentration determined above. In this case , the value is 4.48E-03 µCi/ml. This value is calculated based on the monitor cps reading entered by the spreadsheet user. Through an iterative process, the user enters the monitor cps necessary to determine the desired resultant total dose (in mrem). Resultant river concentrations are presented in the section of the spreadsheet seen on the next page. In this spreadsheet, all of the isotopes present in Append ix C of the ODAM (Design Input 5.4) are included. In many instances, there is no corresponding isotope available from the NUREG-1940 reference . The entire list was included to simplify the spreadsheet calculation . The decayed mixture is taken from Table 6. Note that the concentration values present in the (starting) mixture do not affect the resu lt. It is the ratios of the isotopes to the gross concentration in the mixture that are needed . These fractions are calculated in the same way as section 7 .1. As in section 7 .1.2, HTDs present in the mixture (Fe-55, H-3, and Ni-

63) are removed from the gross gamma calculation and then scaled back into the calculation of the applied dose (see below for scaling).

Every day. per NEI 99-01 REV. 00 The ODAM Appendix C dose transfer factors for the thyroid (Design Input 5.4) are displayed on the second to last column from the right. Using ODAM calculation methods described in section 6.5, the H-3 dose component of the child thyroid pathway is calculated individually here as an example: 3.82E-04 µCi/ml

  • 2.97E+01 mrem gal/ Ci min
  • 3.785E-03 ml Ci/gal µCi
  • 60 min = 2.58E-03 mrem Where 3.785E-03 is the conversion factor from the ODAM .

2.97E+01 is the H-3 dose transfer factor for the thyroid (Design Input 5.4). 3.82E-04 is the concentration of H-3 in the river corresponding to the monitor reading developed from Table 6 (see below for scaling). AND the dispersion term (0.20) is not included here because it has already been included above in the concentration calculation .

1.0 Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this calculation is to evaluate dose rates with water at the top of active fuel in the reactor vessel during cold shutdown or refueling operations in order to set Emergency Action Level (EAL) thresholds (RA2, CS1, CG1) per NEI 99-01 [Reference 3.5]. The dose rates are calculated at the locations of the drywall monitors 9184A/B so that dose rate measurements by these devices can be correlated to the water level in the core, upon failure of other water level detection systems. This calculation is nonsafety-related as the results of the calculation do not affect the design basis or safety-related systems structures or components. These results are best estimates based on as-built conditions and provide information to operators with respect to classifying an emergency, therefore no acceptance criteria is required. 2.0 Summary of Results and Conclusions The dose rates just prior to the core being uncovered (i.e. water at the top of the active fuel) are shown in the table below. Note that the results presented below are calculated dose rates and do not account for background radiation or any installed detector check sources.

During Refueling for EAL Thresholds           REV.         00 3.25 FSAR Section 4.3.2.1, and Section 9.1 3.26 CAL-M98-058, Rev. 1, "ADS Accumulator Size Verification" 4.0 Assumptions 4.1 The core is homogenized based on the typical 1Ox1 Ofuel assembly dimensions, taking into account the fuel rods and space between. Any small variations in fuel parameters will have a negligible effect on containment dose rates. The cladding is modeled as Zircaloy 4 in lieu of ZIRLO; this is acceptable due to the similarity of the materials.

4.2 Any non-fuel hardware, including rod end plugs, is ignored in the active fuel region. This is acceptable since the primary self-shielding occurs in the fuel itself, and there may be some unknown streaming effects through the non-fuel hardware. This homogenization takes into account the presence of water when calculating the isotopic weight fraction and homogenized density. For the case with the reactor vessel head in place, the region between the head and the active fuel region is homogenized based on the actual mass of the upper internals over the entire region. Homogenization of source regions and shields is acceptable due to the insignificant effects on the detector response given the model geometry. 4.3 The composition of the containment structure and components are based on the values in the SCALE standard composition library [Reference 3.1]. These material properties are commonly used in shielding applications, and are acceptable for modelling the structures and compon~ts used to determine the

        ., best estimate response at the detector loc*ations. 

4.4 The minimum period of decay after reactor shutdown before moving fuel is 60

  • hours [Reference 3.8, Section 4.3.8]. This calculation assumes a decay time of 50 hours to allow EAL thresholds to be determined for reactor vessel conditions that exist prior to the commencement of fuel movement which is representative of the applicable operating modes (cold shutdown, refueling). This decay time is appropriate to produce best estimate results for both the head on and head off configurations.

4.5 The hardware in the upper internals region between the active fuel region, reactor recirculating pumps and reactor vessel head is assumed to be stainless steel type 304. While the actual composition of the hardware may vary slightly, small variations in the material will have a negligible effect on the dose rate response at the detectors. 4.6 It is assumed that the water below the active fuel region is liquid at a constant temperature. Using a density of 0.9982 g/cm 3 is common in shielding Page 6 of28

Reactor Vessel Water Levels During Refueling for EAL REV. 00 Thresholds applications. Any water above this region would be steam with little shielding value.

4. 7 The source term is generated shortly after shutdown, therefore, the fuel gamma source term will predominate and the neutron-gamma and hardware activation can be neglected.

4.8 The high range detectors read out in roentgen per hour (R/h) which is a measurement of exposure rate, while the MCNP output is provided in mrem/h

     , which is a measurement of the equivalent dose rate that represents the biological effects of ionizing radiation. It is assumed that 1 R is approximately 1000 mrem.

This is acceptable as only the gamma source term is considered. 4.9 The roof of the Reactor Building is modeled as 0.5 inches of stainless steel. This will account for any scattering interactions that may contribute to the response at the detector. The magnitude of the detector response due to scattering off of the roof will be small due to the geometry and amount of shielding in the model, and is therefore acceptable. 4.1 OAutomatic Depressurization System Accumulators 1R003A/B/C located on the 775' -11 %" elevation are not included in the model. The size of the accumulators are 200 gallons [Reference 3.26].

Reactor Vessel Water Levels During Refueling for EAL REV .. 00 Thresholds 6.0 Methodology The reactor source terms are decayed to 50 hours with ORIGEN-S of the SCALE 6.1 code package, Reference 3.2. The results are used to bin design input isotope specific activities into energy dependent photon bins. These energy specific photon emission bins are used as input for the energy distribution described by the MCNP source definitions. The MCNP6, Reference 3.3, Monte Carlo transport code is used to determine the dose rates via the flux to dose conversion factors in Table 7, while accounting for shielding and particle transport. The detailed engineering drawings are converted into MCNP surface and cell cards in the dimensions shown in Table 3 and Table 4. The radiation monitors of interest are modeled as point detectors to determine the expected dose rate for those detectors. The dose rates are calculated for two reactor refueling conditions:

1. With Head - the reactor is modeled with a 3.9375 inch carbon steel plate as indicated in Table 3, which is additional attenuation between the source and detector. The mass of the moisture separator and steam dryer is homogenized between the. active fuel region and the vessel head.
2. Without head - the reactor is modeled with air between the active fuel zone and containment.
3. A sensitivity case is run with a mirror surface at the top of the drywall to ensure the modeling of the drywall cap would not significantly affect the response at the. de-tector locations due to scattering.

Variance reduction is accomplished with a geometric importance map that is imposed on the homogenized core. In addition, cell based importance weighting and source biasing (see Section 7.5) are utilized to improve the variance reduction of the simple geometric scheme. A superimposed weight window mesh is utilized where necessary to improve variance. The weight windows are iteratively generated using the MCNP weight windows generator card. All final dose rates presented in this calculation include weight windows variance reduction. Page 13 of 28

This input produces a simple case where the isotopic composition from Table 5 is decayed. The isotope is specified in the 73$$ card using the special identifier described in Section F7.6.2 of the ORIGEN-S manual, and the activity in curies is specified in the 74** card. The time steps for the decay are given on the 60** card in hours. Although multiple time steps are calculated, the source term with 50 hours decay time is used in this calculation to model the core shortly after shutdown. The output of the decay is given in terms of photons/s/Energy-Group, which is automatically normalized in the MCNP input. The results of this calculation are summarized below in Table 8. These values are used in the MCNP input source definition.

The homogenization accounts for the mass of metal from Section 5.5 (assumed stainless steel type 304 per Assumption 4.5) distributed evenly across the volume between the active fuel height (Z=1071.73 cm) and the head (Z=1985.01 cm).

cc 7.4 MCNP Model Geometry The following MCNP model geometry is based on the containment dimensions summarized in Table 3 and Table 4. The model only focuses on the primary systems and components that provide shielding or reflection from the core to the radiation monitors. These components include the reactor vessel, recirculation pumps, pedestal, biological shield and drywell. VISED plots of the model geometry are provided in Figures 1-3. The MCNP surface cards with the model dimensions (cm) are shown in Figure 4, and the cell cards are shown in Figure 5 for the cases with no reactor vessel head.

Only the gamma source term is taken into account for this evaluation. The source term is generated shortly after shutdown , therefore, the fuel gamma source term will predominate, and the neutron-gamma and hardware activation source terms can be neglected (Assumption 4.7).

The radius of the core is defined with the. rad parameter, which automatically creates a uniform distribution based on a cylindrical geometry. The ext and axs parameters define the direction and distance of the cylinder axis. These parameters combined define the core where the particles can be born . The erg parameter defines the energy spectrum of source particles, and is based on the results of the ORIGEN-S calculation discussed previously. This distribution is a histogram of energies represented by activities. These are automatically normalized by MCNP to create a probability distribution. The total activity is preserved in the tally multiplier. The MCNP source definition cards are shown below in Figure 7. The sb card is a source biasing card, which in this case biases the particle generation to the lower end of the core. Th is is a variance reduction technique to improve the statistical certainty in the results.

Point detectors are chosen because they use quasi-deterministic dose calculations that will provide better results than surface or cell based tallies that require the particles to enter those regions. The inputs to this card are the coordinates of the dose points followed by an exclusion zone to reduce variance, as well as a multiplier card, which represents the total core activity in photons/sec.

The dose rate is slightly above the detectable response of 1 R/h (1 E+03 mrem/h) for the no head configuration, and below the detectable response for the configuration with the reactor vessel head in place for one of the detectors. The sensitivity case shows that there is no significant impact due to reflection from the drywell cap.

                               ..- If necessary, use alternate or external makeup sources (SEP 312) .
                               ..- Use only systems IlQ1 required for SF/L-3        adequate core cooling .

D DISCUSSION If spent fuel pool level cannot be restored and maintained above the low level alarm setpoint, an alternate control band is established above the higher of the spent fuel pool level LCO (36 ft.) or the Minimum Safe Operating Spent Fuel Pool Level (25.17 ft.). If necessary, normal spent fuel pool makeup may be augmented-by one or more of the alternate and external sources listed in SEP 312. The Minimum Safe Operating Spent Fuel Pool Level is generically defined to be the lowest water level providing adequate radiation shielding to (1) protect personnel performing local operations required by the EOPs and (2) allow unrestricted access to the main control room . At the DAEC , the Minimum Safe Operating Spent Fuel Pool Level is defined consistent with NEI 12-02 Level 2, described as the level that is adequate to provide substantial radiation shielding for a person standing on the spent fuel pool operating deck. The corresponding spent fuel pool level at the DAEC is defined to e 25.17 ft., approximately 10 ft. above the top of the fuel racks.

Conclusion of manual action evaluation for EALs RA3 and HAS is shown below: EALs RA3 and HAS are not applicable to DAEC because the evaluation has shown that there are no rooms or areas that contain equipment which require a manual/local action as specified in operating procedures used for normal plant operation, cooldown and shutdown. All areas outside th'l3 Control Room that contain equipment necessary for normal plant operation, cooldown and shutdown do not require physical access to operate.

1.0 Purpose and Scope

The DAEC site is implementing new requirements of Revision 6 to the Document NEI 99-01, "Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors. " One of the changes included in Revision 6 to NEI 99-01 is a new basis for the Emergency Action Level (EAL) RA1 . The requirements for RS1 and RG1 did not change from NEI 99-01 Rev. 05 with the implementation of NEI 99-01 , Rev. 06. The following table is extracted from Section 6 of Revision 6 to NEI 99-01: ALERT SITE AREA EMER- GENERAL EMER-GENCY GENCY AA1 Release of gaseous AS1 Release of gaseous AG1 Release of gase-or liquid radioactivity re- radioactivity resulting in ous radioactivity result-suiting in offsite dose offsite dose greater than ing in offsite dose greater than 10 mrem 100 mrem TEOE or 500 greater than 1,000 mrem TEOE or 50 mrem thy- mrem thyroid COE. TEOE or 5,000 mrem roid COE. Op. Modes: All thyroid COE. Op. Modes: All Oo. Modes: All AA1, AS1, AG1 compares to DAEC terminology RA1, RS1, RG1, respectively. This calculation determines the effluent radiation monitor readings that correspond to the RA 1, RS 1, and RG 1 thresholds . 2.0 Summary of Results and Conclusions The results below show the RA 1 EAL release concentration thresholds and associated dose rates for each release point for a decay time of five hours and 36 hours. The highlighted dose indicates which threshold was met at the release concentration.

Both of the above assumptions are acceptable because they will result in a higher dose to the receptor and conservatively lower thresholds. Page 7 of 34

RFs =Exp(-o.s4t) Where t = the amount of tim_es sprays are in service. Note: This reduction factor does not apply to the noble gas~s.

The reduction factor is: RFs = e(-o.54*2l = 0.278 5.6 Standby Gas Treatment Filters NUREG.:1940 allows a reduction factor of 0.01 for filters like the standby gas treatment (SBGT) system. This factor is only applied to releases from the Offgas Stack. RFF= 0.01

5. 7 Secondary Containment NUREG-1228 provides a reduction factor for natural removal through settling and plate-out in the secondary containment. For a 0.5 hour holdup period, that reduction factor is 0.4. This factor is applied to the building vent releases but not the release from the Offgas Stack.

REV. 00 6.0 Methodology This calculation will equate a radioactive material release rate as measured at the gaseous effluent radiation monitors with the dose received to a member of the public at an offsite location. The relationship is highly influenced by the mixture of radioisotopes in the effluent and the dispersion of gases after they have left the facility. Primary guidance is provided by NUREG-1940 and NUREG-1228. 6.1 Scenario The following generalized timeline is used to determine the phenomenon that can affect the mixture of radioisotopes in effluent. This scenario is realistic, but bounds an event that could occur in a shorter total time frame:

  • T= O hr. Major recirculating system line break occurs. Reactor is shut down.
  • T= 1 hr. Core is uncovered.
  • T= 1 hr. Sprays are initiated.
  • T = 2 hrs. Core is covered.
  • T= 4.5 hrs. A catastrophic event causes damage to the drywall and the sec-ondary containment.

o The gaseous mixture from the Drywall spreads into the Reactor Build-ing, Turbine Building, and LLRPSF. o Mean average holdup time of the gas in these buildings is 0.5 hours. Scenario timing will affect the mixture of radioisotopes and is summarized here:

  • The core is uncovered for 1 hour. 1
  • Core/Drywall Sprays are running for a total of 2 hours. *
  • Primary Containment integrity is maintained for 4 hours.
  • Source holdup time in secondary containment is 0.5 hours.
        ~      Source decay time from shutdown to the release point is 5 hours.
  • When the reactor.is in mode 4 or 5, the total decay time is 36 hours.

Other Factors:

  • The flow rates from the effluent exhaust points are listed in Design Input 5.8.
  • The gaseous effluent radiation monitors are equally efficient for the monitor-ing of noble gases, particulates, and iodines.
  • All releases from the Offgas Stack are filtered by the Standby Gas Treatment system.
  • Removal of particulates and iodines by natural process during holdup in sec-ondary containment are credited for releases from the building vents only.

6.2 Receptor The receptor is an adult located at the ODAM-described location of minimal dispersion who is exposed to the radioactive release for one hour. Due to this relatively short duration, the only exposure pathways are inhalation and submersion. Assumptions related to the receptor are found in Section 4.0. Page 13 of 34

CALC a ENERCON Excef(ence-::Eve_ry projec;t. .Every ddy. Revised Gaseous Radiological EALs per NEI 99-01 Rev. 06 NO. REV. NEE-323-CALC-005 00 6.3 General Approach With a given mixture of radionuclides, the dose received by an individual offsite is a function of the gross activity present in the gaseous mixture. The resultant dose received by an offsite receptor is dependent not only on the gross radioactivity levels of the effluent but also upon the isotopic mixture present in the gas. This calculation predicts the relative contribution of each radionuclide to the gross radiation monitored by the effluent monitor. With the fractionation of the mixture of radionuclides understood, a given gross output reading (µCi/cm 3 ) from an effluent radiation monitor can be scaled to determine the concentration of each isotope present in the effluent. The calculation then uses default dispersion factors described in the Offsite Dose Assessment Manual to determine the resultant concentration of radionuclides to which an individual offsite would be exposed. Dose conversion factors provided in Federal Guidance Report 11 (FGR11) and 12 (FGR12) are used to determine the dose (mrem) to an individual offsite due to their exposure to the gaseous mixture of radionuclides. With the given radionuclide mixture and dispersion factors understood, an iterative process can be used to relate the effluent monitor reading to a target offsite dose. Two types of radiation dose are calculated: 1) TEDE and 2) CDE Thyroid. CDE or Committed Dose Equivalent is the radiation dose to a specific organ due to an uptake of radioactive material. In this case, the uptake is limited to inhalation of radioactive material in the plume. TEDE or Total Effective Dose Equivalent is the summation of the Effective Dose Equivalent (EDE) and the Committed Dose Equivalent (CEDE). TEDE = EDE + CEDE. EDE is the dose due to an individual being directly exposed (by submersion) to the radiation present in the gaseous release (shine). CEDE is the sum of the CDE for each organ of the body with weighting factors applied 1 for each organ. In this calculation, only contributions from the inhalation pathway are considered. An iterative process is used to determine the gross radiation monitored by the effluent monitors that correspond to the threshold doses. 6.4 Source Term This calculation will not analyze for the total activity released from the core. It will only analyze for the ratios of the isotopic species that are released from the core. Various phenomena will act to change the composition of the isotopic mixture in the time between reactor shutdown and release from the facility. In summary the removal phenomena addressed here include: Page 14 of 34

For the example Effective Dose Equivalent calculation, the release point is the Offgas Stack at five hours since shutdown, and a gross concentration of 43.9 µCi/cm 3 (this concentration was determined iteratively to produce 1O mrem TEDE). The secondary containment holdup hours is set at <0.5 because the natural removal process in the Secondary Containment does not occur with the Offgas Stack. In Table 15, the column labeled "hEsoi Submersion mrem cm 3/µCi sec," is the dose factor for air submersion dose and is calculated in Section 7.1. The column labeled "Depleted Mix Ci/MWTh" is the "Release Ci/MWTh" calculated in Section 7 .2 for each isotope. The "Fraction" column determines the fraction each isotope contributes to the gross activity and is used to scale the activity for each isotope. Page 25 of34

In this case, the gross concentration entered was 43.9 µCi/cm 3 (4.39E+1 ). Values in the "Xir Receptor Cone. µCi/cm 3" column are calculated by multiplying the release concentration by the applicable dispersion factor, the volume of the release, and requisite conversion factors. The basic equation is from Section 6.7: Xir= XtJV

REV. 00 7.4 CEDE and COE Thyroid For the example CEDE and COE Thyroid calculation, the release point is the Reactor Building at five hours since shutdown, and a gross concentration of .1.22E-2 µCi/cc, with a Secondary Containment Holdup time of 0.5 hours per Design Input 5.7 (this concentration was determined iteratively to produce 49.8 mrem Thyroid COE). In Table 16, the columns labeled "hrsoiThyroid mrem/µCi" and "hEsoi CEDE mrem/µCi" are the dose factors developed in Section 7.1. The column labeled "Depleted Mix Ci/MWTh" is the "Release Ci/MWTh" calculated above in Section 7 .2 for each isotope. The "Fraction" column determines the fraction each isotope contributes to the gross activity, and is used to scale the activity for each isotope. The column "xiv Release Cone. µCi/cm 3" contains a calculation that scales the "Depleted Mix" column to a user entered gross concentration based on the "Fraction" and is the variable Xiv in the equation below. In this case, the gross concentration entered was 1.22E-2 µCi/cc. Values in the "x;r Receptor Cone. µCi/cm 3" column are calculated by multiplying the release concentration by the applicable dispersion factor, the volume of the release, and requisite conversion factors. The basic equation from Section 6.8: Xir= Xiv* v* (~)

EALs per NEI 99-01 Rev. 06 REV. 00 7.5 Resultant Dose Summary A single spreadsheet was used to calculate EDE, CEDE, and thyroid COE. With the given source term, when the user changes the effluent gross concentration value, the spreadsheet calculates resultant doses. Results and variables for the reactor building case are shown below. As can be seen here, an effluent release rate of 1.22E-02 µCi/cc at the Reactor Building will result in an offsite dose of approximately 50 mrem COE thyroid . This value corresponds to the new RA 1 EAL entry threshold of 50 mrem COE thyroid. Dose totals are taken from the tabular spreadsheet data presented on the preceding pages.

BASES-EOP 3 DAEC EOP BASES DOCUMENT Rev. 13 EOP 3 - SECONDARY CONTAINMENT CONTROL Page 29 of 29 GUIDELINE SF/L-4 Spent Fuel Pool level drops to 16.36 ft 0 Operate Spent Fuel Pool sprays (SAMP 712) .

                                ..- Use on ly systems not required for SF/L-5 adequate core cooling .

0 DISCUSSION If spent fuel pool level cannot be controlled using alternate or external makeup sources, sprays are used to add water to the spent fuel pool, co_ ol exposed bundles, and reduce radioactivity releases. However, spray operation may damage electrical equipment and flood lower elevations of the secondary containment, complicating implementation of other emergency response strategies, and runoff from sprays could spread radioactivity release. Use'of sprays is therefore delayed until it is determined that spent fuel pool level cannot be maintained above the top of the fuel racks. As long as the spent fuel assemblies are covered with water , the fuel will not overheat and efforts should focus on providing sufficient makeup flow to keep the assemblies submerged . The lowest measurable spent fuel pool level using the wide range instrument is 16.16 ft., approximately one foot above the top of the spent fuel racks. The action level in SF/L-4 corresponds to NEI 12-02 Level 3, the level at which fuel remains covered but actions to implement make-up water addition should no longer be deferred. The "before" condition permits appropriate anticipatory action based on the spent fuel pool leakage rate , radiation levels, available resources, and the time required to place sprays in service. Steps to prepare spray equipment for use should be initiated while radiation levels permit access to the refueling floor and timed to optimize use of available resources. As in Steps SF/T-3 and SF/L-3, available spray sources may be alternated between RPV injection and spent fuel pool spray modes as long as adequate core cooling can be maintained, but maintaining adequate core cooling takes precedence over spent fuel pool cooling (refer to the discussions of Steps SF/T-3 and SF/L-3 above).

AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 B 3.8 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS B 3.8.1 AC Sources - Operating BASES BACKGROUND The unit Class 1E AC Electrical Power Distribution System AC sources consist of the offsite power sources (preferred and alternate preferred), and the onsite standby power sources (Diesel I Generators (DGs) 1G-31 and 1G-21). As discussed in UFSAR Section 3.1 .2.2.8 (Ref. 1), the design of the AC Electrical Power System provides independence and redundancy to ensure an available source of power to the Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) Systems via essential buses 1A3 and 1A4. The Class 1E AC Distribution System is divided into redundant load groups, so loss of any one group does not prevent the minimum safety functions from being performed. Each load group has connections to two preferred offsite power supplies and a single DG. Offsite power is supplied to the 161 kV and 345 kV switchyards from the transmission network by six transmission lines. The 345 kV switchyard and the 161 kV switchyard are connected via the autotransformer, and both sections of the switchyard are connected to the transmission grid by at least.two independent lines. From the 161 kV switchyard (the preferred power source), a single overhead transmission line feeds the startup transformer. From the startup transformer, dual isolated secondary windings provide feeds to the 4160 volt essential buses, 1A3 and 1A4, through separate bus supply lines and circuit breakers. The startup transformer is sized to supply all plant power (both essential and non-essential loads) during unit startup. From the tertiary winding on the autotransformer (the alternate preferred power source), a single 34.5 kV underground line feeds the standby transformer. From the standby transformer, a single 4160 volt line feeds both essential buses through separate bus supply circuit breakers. A detailed description of the offsite power network and circuits to the onsite Class 1E essential buses is found in the UFSAR, Sections 8.2.1.3 and 8.3.1.1.5 (Ref. 2). An offsite circuit consists of all breakers, transformers, switches, interrupting devices, cabling, and controls (continued) DAEC B 3.8-1 TSCR-044A

AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 BASES BACKGROUND required to transmit power from the offsite transmission network to (continued) the onsite Class 1 E essential bus or buses. Startup transformer (1X3) provides the normal source of power to the essential buses 1A3 and 1A4. If either 4.16 kV essential bus loses power, an automatic transfer from the startup transformer to the standby transformer (1 X4) occurs. The startup transformer and standby transformer are both sized to accommodate the starting of all ESF loads on receipt of an accident signal. Emergency loads are sequenced onto the essential buses regardless of the source of power (onsite or offsite). The onsite standby power source for 4.16 kV essential buses 1A3 and 1A4 consists of two DGs. DGs 1G-31 and 1G-21 are dedicated to essential buses 1A3 and 1A4, resr,>ectively. A DG s arts automatically on a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) signal (i.e., low reactor water level signal or high drywall pressure signal) or on an essential bus degraded voltage or undervoltage signal. After the DG has started, it automatically ties to its respective bus after offsite power is tripped as a consequence of essential bus undervoltage or degraded voltage, independent of or coincident with a LOCA signal. The DGs also start and operate in the standby mode without tying to the essential bus on a LOCA signal alone. Following the trip.of offsite power, non emergency loads powered from essential buses are load shed. When the DG is tied to the essential bus, loads are then sequentially connected to its respective essential bus. The sequencing logic controls the permissive and starting signals to motor breakers to prevent overloading the DG. In the event of a loss of both the preferred power source and the alternate preferred power source, the ESF electrical loads are automatically connected to the DGs in sufficient time to provide for safe reactor shutdown and to mitigate the consequences of a Design Basis Accident (OBA) such as a LOCA. Certain required plant loads are returned to service in a predetermined sequence in order to prevent overloading of the DGs in the process. Within 25 seconds after the initiating signal is received, all automatic and permanently (continued) DAEC B 3.8-2 TSCR-111

Emergency Preparedness Program Frequently Asked Question (EPFAQ) EPFAQ Number: 2016-002 Originator: David Young Organization: NEI Relevant Guidance: NEI 99-01, Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels, Revisions 4 and 5; and NEI 99-01, Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors, Revision 6. NUMARC/NESP-007, Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels. Applicable Section{s): Initiating Condition (IC) HA2 in NEI 99-01, Revisions 4 and 5, and NUMARC/NESP-007, "FIRE or EXPLOSION Affecting the Operability of Plant Safety Systems Required to Establish or Maintain Safe Shutdown" ICs CA6 and SA9 in NEI 99-01, Revision 6: "Hazardous event affecting a SAFETY SYSTEM needed for the current operating mode" Definition of VISIBLE DAMAGE in NEI 99-01, Revisions 4, 5 and 6, and NUMARC/NESP-007 Status: Complete NOTE: Based on NRG staff consideration of industry comments provided by letter dated February 16, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17079A228), a revision to these /Cs was proposed at the public meeting held on April 4, 2017. These changes were attached to the public meeting . notice (ADAMS Accession No. ML17089A458). Based on comments provided by the industry during the April 4, 2017 public meeting, the NRG staff revised the proposed revisions to these

 /Cs.

QUESTION OR COMMENT: A review of industry Operating Experience has identified a need to clarify an aspect of the definition of VISIBLE DAMAGE as it relates to the ICs cited above; adding this clarity is necessary to minimize the potential for an over-classification of an equipment failure. There may be cases where VISIBLE DAMAGE is the result of an equipment failure and limited to the failed component (i.e., the failure did not cause damage to any other component or a structure). The current definition of VISIBLE DAMAGE does not adequately differentiate between damage resulting from, and affecting only, the failed piece of equipment vs. an equipment failure causing damage to another component or a structure (e.g., by a failure-induced fire or explosion). Can the definition of VISIBLE DAMAGE be clarified to help ~void an inappropriate emergency declaration in cases where an equipment failure does not result in damage to another component or a structure (i.e., VISIBLE DAMAGE affects only the failed component)?

  • A related question is also posed - Consistent with the approach used in other ICs, should a note be added to preclude an emergency declaration if the safety system affected by a hazard was not functional before the event occurred (e.g., tagged out for maintenance)?

PROPOSED SOLUTION: Yes; the sentence below may be added to the definition of VISIBLE DAMAGE [as defined in NEI 99-01, Revisions 4, 5, and 6]. Damage resulting from an equipment failure and limited to the failed component (i.e., the failure did not cause damage to a structure or any other equipment) is not VISIBLE DAMAGE. From a plant safety and change-in-risk perspective, the consequences from the failure of a 1 r

Emergency Preparedness Program Frequently Asked Question (EPFAQ) piece of equipment, accompanied by a hazard (e.g., a fire or explosion) that does not damage any other equipment or a structure, are essentially the same as the equipment failing with no attendant hazard. Neither event would appear to meet the definition of an Alert because the outcome does not involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant (e.g., there has been no significant reduction in the margin to a loss or potential loss of a fission product barrier). Nuclear power plants are designed with redundant safety system trains that are required to be separated (i.e., installed in separate plant areas or have separation within an individual area). Absent any collateral damage to another component or a structure, a hazard associated with an equipment failure does not affect the ability to protect public health and safety, and there is no additional response benefit to be gained by declaring an emergency. The normal plant organization has sufficient resources and adequate guidance to respond to an equipment failure -guidance includes operating procedures and Technical Specifications; the fire protection [program], industrial safety and corrective action programs; and work management and maintenance requirements. Concerning the second question, an emergency declaration would not be appropriate in response to a hazard affecting a piece of equipment or system that was non-functional prior to the event (e.g., tagged out for maintenance). For this reason and consistent with the approach used in other ICs, the following note may be added to IC HA2 (NEI 99-01 R4 and RS), or ICs CA6 and SA9 (NEI 99-01 R6). Note: If the affected safety system (or component) was already non-functional before the event occurred, then no emergency classification is warranted. Consistent with the guidance in Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2003-18, Supplement 2, Use of Nuclear Energy Institute (NE/) 99-01, "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels," Revision 4, dated January 2003, it is reasonable to conclude that the changes proposed above would be considered as a "deviation." NRC .RESPONSE: The proposed guidance is intended to ensure that an Alert should be declared only when actual or potential performance issues with SAFETY SYSTEMS have*occurred as a result of a

  • hazardous event. The occurrence of a hazardous event.will result in a Notification of Unusual Event (NOUE) classification at a minimum. In order to warrant escalation to the Alert classification, the hazardous event should cause indications of degraded performance to one train of a SAFETY SYSTEM with either indications of degraded performance on the second SAFETY SYSTEM train or VISIBLE DAMAGE to the second SAFETY SYSTEM train, such that the operability or reliability of the second train is a concern. In addition, escalation to the Alert classification should not occur if the damage from the hazardous event is limited to a SAFETY SYSTEM that was inoperable, or out of service, prior to the event occurring. As such, the proposed guidance will reduce the potential of declaring an Alert when events are in progress that do not involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant, i.e., does not cause significant concern with shutting down or cooling down the plant.

IC HA2 (NEI 99-01 R4 and RS; NUMARC/NESP-007), or ICs CA6 and SA9 (NEI 99-01 R6), do not directly escalate to a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency due to a hazardous event. The Fission Product Barrier and/or Abnormal Radiation Levels/Radiological Effluent recognition categories would provide an escalation path to a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency. The proposed addition of the following notes, applicable to ICs l-lA2 (NEI 99-01 R4 and R5; NUMARC/NESP-007), or ICs CA6 and SA9 (NEI 99-01 R6), provide further clarification as to how these Alert emergency classifications are considered. The revisions to these EALs, 2

Emergency Preparedness Program Frequently Asked Question (EPFAQ) including the addition of the notes, are consistent with the current NRC-endorsed Alert classification language.

1. Adding the following note to the applicable EALs, per this EPFAQ, is acceptable as it meets the intent of the EALs, is consistent with other EALs (e.g., EAL HAS from NEI 99-01, Revision 6; this revision was endorsed by the NRC in a letter dated March 28, 2013, available at ADAMS Accession No. ML12346A463), and ensures that declared emergencies are based upon unplanned events with the potential to pose a radiological risk to the public.

If the affected SAFETY SYSTEM train was already inoperable or out of service before the hazardous event occurred, then this emergency classification is not warranted.

2. Adding the following note to help explain the EAL is reasonable to succinctly capture the more detailed information from the Basis section related to when conditions would require the declaration of an Alert.

If the hazardous event only resulted in VISIBLE DAMAGE, with no indications of degraded performance to at least one train of a SAFETY SYSTEM, then this emergency classification is not warranted. Revising the EALs and the Basis sections to ensure potential escalations from a NOUE to an Alert, due to a hazardous event, is appropriate as the concern with these EALs is: (1) a hazardous event has occurred, (2) one SAFETY SYSTEM train is having performance issues as a result of the hazardous event, and (3) either the second SAFETY SYSTEM train is having performance issues or the VISIBLE DAMAGE is enough to be concerned that the second SAFETY SYSTEM train may have operability or reliability issues. Revising the definition for VISIBLE DAMAGE is appropriate as this definition is only used for these EALs and the revised EALs are based upon SAFETY SYSTEM trains rather than individual components or struc~ures. All of the changes discussed above are addressed in the attached markups to NEI 99-01, Revision 6. Licensees that use NESP-007, NEI 99-01 Revision 4, or NEI 99-01 Revision 5 EAL schemes can adopt this language in the relevant format the staff approved for their use. Consistent with the guidance in Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2003-18, Supplement 2, Use of Nuclear Energy Institute (NE/) 99-01, "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels," Revision 4, dated January 2003, a licensee's scheme change based on this EPFAQ should be considered as a "deviation" because a classification based on NRC-endorsed industry guidance in NEI 99-01, Revisions 4, 5 and 6, as well as in NUMARC/NESP-007, could be different from a classification based on this EPFAQ.

Basis: This IC addresses a hazardous event that causes damage to SAFETY SYSTEMS needed for the current operating mode. In order to provide the appropriate context for consideration of an ALERT classification, the hazardous event must have caused indications of degraded SAFETY SYSTEM performance in one train, and there must be either indications of performance issues with the second SAFETY SYSTEM train or VISIBLE DAMAGE to the second train such that the potential exists for this second SAFETY SYSTEM train to have performance issues. In other words, in order for this EAL to be classified, the hazardous event must occur, at least one SAFETY SYSTEM train must have indications of degraded performance, and the second SAFETY SYSTEM train must have indications of degraded performance or VISIBLE DAMAGE 4

Emergency Preparedness Program Frequently Asked Question (EPFAQ) such that the potential exists for performance issues. Note that this second SAFETY SYSTEM train is from the same SAFETY SYSTEM that has indications of degraded performance for criteria 1.b.1 of this EAL; commercial nuclear power plants are designed to be able to support single system issues without compromising public health and safety from radiological events. Indications of degraded performance address damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is in service/operation since indications for it will be readily available. The indications of degraded performance should be significant enough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM train. Operators will make a determination of VISIBLE DAMAGE based on the totality of available event and damage report information.

EPFAQ Number: 2018-04 Originator: David Young Organization: NEI Relevant Guidance: This question concerns NEI 99-01, Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors, Revision 6 and EPFAQ 2016-002. Applicable Section(s): Initiating Conditions (ICs) CA6 and SA9, and the associated Emergency Action Levels (EALs) and Bases

  • Date Accepted for Review: 5/31/2018 Status: Under Review QUESTION OR COMMENT:

Background

EPFAQ 2016-002 provided guidance intended to reduce the potential of declaring an Alert when events are in progress that do not involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant, i.e., does not cause significant concern with shutting down or cooling down the plant. In responding to the EPFAQ, the staff determined that revising the EALs and the Basis sections of ICs CA6 and SA9 would be appropriate to ensure potential escalations from a NOUE to an Alert, due to a hazardous event, occur when there is: (1) a hazardous event, and (2) one SAFETY SYSTEM train having performance issues as a result of the hazardous event, and (3) either the second SAFETY SYSTEM train is having performance issues or VISIBLE DAMAGE sufficient to be concerned that the second SAFETY SYSTEM train may have operability or reliability issues. The response to EPFAQ 2016-002 works well for situations involving a safety system with two trains (a typical configuration); however, industry operating experience indicates that additional clarification is needed for three other cases as described in the questions below. Because this EPFAQ is based on material in EPFAQ 2016-002, the response to this EPFAQ may be considered only by sites that have implemented EPFAQ 2016-002 in a manner approved through an NRC Safety Evaluation Report (SER). Question Concerning ICs CA6 and SA9, how should an event leading to indications of degraded performance and/or VISIBLE DAMAGE be classified when:

1. The event affects equipment common to two or more safety systems or safety system trains? For example, a unit with a tank that is the water source for multiple safety injection systems or trains, such as a Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST).
2. The event affects a safety system that has only one train. For example, a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) unit with a single-train Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) or High-Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) system.
3. The event affects two trains of a safety system having more than two trains. For example, a unit that has an Auxiliary/Emergency Feedwater system with three trains.

1 05/21/2018

Emergency Preparedness Program Frequently Asked Question (EPFAQ) PROPOSED SOLUTION: The following answers to the above questions are proposed:

1. An event affecting equipment common to two or more safety systems or safety system trains (i.e., there are indications of degraded performance and/or VISIBLE DAMAGE affecting the common equipment) should be classified as an Alert under CA6 or SA9, as appropriate to the plant mode. By affecting the operability or reliability of multiple system trains, the loss of the common equipment effectively meets the two-train impact criteria that underlie the EALs and Bases.
2. An event affecting a single-train safety system (i.e., there are indications of degraded performance and/or VISIBLE DAMAGE affecting the one train) would not be classified under CA6 or SA9 because the two-train impact criteria that underlie the EALs and Bases would not be met. If an event affects a single-train safety system, then the emergency classification should be made ~ased on plant parameters/symptoms meeting the EALs for another IC. Depending upon the circumstances, classification may also occur based on Shift Manager/Emergency Director judgement.
3. An event that affects two trains of a safety system (e.g., one train has indications of degraded performance and the other VISIBLE DAMAGE) that also has one or more additional trains should be classified as an Alert under CA6. or SA9, as appropriate to the plant mode. This approach maintains consistency with the two-train impact criteria that underlie the EALs and Bases, and is warranted because the event was severe enough to affect the operability or reliability of two trains of a safety system despite plant design criteria associated with system and system train separation and protection. Such an event may have caused other plant impacts that are not immediately apparent.

As stated above, this EPFAQ may be considered only by sites that have implemented EPFAQ 2016-002 in a manner approved through an NRC Safety Evaluation Report (SER). With this proviso met, the response to EPFAQ 2018-004 would then provide clarification of expected emergency classifications for cases not explicitly addressed by ICs CA6 and SA9 (from NEI 99- 01, Revision 6), and EPFAQ 2016-002; therefore, implementation of the guidance in this EPFAQ would improve the accuracy and timeliness of a classification following a hazardous event affecting a safety system. Moreover, the answers provided in EPFAQ 2018-004 would result in EAL interpretations that are consistent with the meaning and intent of NRG-approved EAL bases such that the classification of the event would not be different from that approved by the NRC in a site-specific application. For this reason, it is reasonable to conclude that incorporation of the guidance from this EPFAQ into an NRG-approved site-specific scheme reflecting the guidance in EPFAQ 2016-002 would be considered a "difference" in accordance with Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2003-18, Supplerpent 2, Use of Nuclear Energy Institute (NE/) 99-01, "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels," Revision 4, dated January 2003. This "difference" determination is contingent upon incorporating any or all of the three answer statements (as applicable to a facility) verbatim; any change to the scope or intent of the answers would make incorporation into a site-specific scheme a "deviation" per RIS 2003- 018, Supplement 2. 2 05/31/2018 I_

1.2. 7 HSM Dose Rates with a Loaded 24P, 528 or 61 BT DSC Limit/Specification : Dose rates at the following locations shall be limited to levels which are less than or equal to:

a. 400 mrem/hr at 3 feet from the HSM surface.
b. Outside of HSM door on center line of DSC 100 mrem/hr.
c. End shield wall exterior 20 mrem/hr.

Applicabil ity : This specification is applicable to all HSMs which contain a loaded 24P, 528 or 61BT DSC. Objective: The dose rate is limited to this value to ensure that the cask (DSC) has not been inadvertently loaded with fuel not meeting the specifications in Section 1.2 .1 and to maintain dose rates as-low-as-is-reasonably achievable (ALARA) at locations on the HSMs where surveillance is performed , and to reduce off-site exposures during storage. Action: a. If specified dose rates are exceeded, the following actions should be taken:

1. Ensure that the DSC is properly positioned on the support rails .

61BT DSC Dose Rate Thresholds = 2 X TS limits

2. Ensure proper installation of the HSM door.

Therefore: 3. Ensure that the required module spacing is maintained. 3 feet from HSM Surface 4. Confirm that the spent fuel assemblies contained in the DSC = 800 mrem/hr conform to the specifications of Section 1.2.1 .

5. Install temporary or permanent shielding to mitigate the dose to Outside HSM Door -

acceptable levels in accordance with 1 O CFR Part 20, 10 CFR Centerline of DSC 72 .104(a), and ALARA. = 200 mrem/hr

b. Submit a letter report to the NRC within 30 days summarizing the End Shield Wall Exterior action taken and the results of the surveillance, investigation and

= 40 mrem/hr findings. The report must be submitted using instructions in 10 CFR 72.4 with a copy sent to the administrator of the appropriate NRC regional office . Surveillance: The HSM and ISFSI shall be checked to verify that this specification has been met after the DSC is placed into storage and the HSM door is closed . Basis: The basis for this limit is the shielding analysis presented in Section 7.0, Appendix J, and Appendix K of the FSAR. The specified dose rates provide as-low-as-is-reasonably-achievable on-site and off-site doses in accordance w ith 10 CFR Part 20 and 10 CFR 72.104(a).

Primary Containment Radiation EAL Threshold Determination CALC NO. NEE-323-CALC-OO 1 REV. 00

1.0 Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this calculation is to determine the site-specific threshold for primary containment radiation in the event of a loss or potential loss of the three fission product barriers (fuel clad, Reactor Coolant System, containment). These site-specific values can be used to determine the Emergency Action Level (EAL) (FA1, FS1, or FG1) in accordance with Table 9-F-2 of NEI 99-01, Rev. 6. This calculation is nonsafety-related as it intended for emergency classification and not design basis purposes. There are no acceptance criteria associated with this calculation since the purpose is only to determine site-specific radiation thresholds. 2.0 Summary of Results and Conclusions The calculated primary containment radiation readings for each of the three fission product barriers are listed below. Note that the results presented below are calculated dose rates and do not account for background radiation or any installed detector check sources.

NEE-323-CALC-001 REV. 00 4.0 Assumptions 4.1 Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) water level is 535 inches above vessel zero for the purposes of calculating the total Reactor Coolant System (RCS) water volume. This corresponds to the middle of the band between the high and low RPV water level alarm points from Table 4 (Design Input 5.7) and represents the most realistic water inventory during normal operation. 4.2 The fission product isotopic distribution in the reactor coolant will be similar to that of the fission product gap inventory. This is reasonable since, in the event of a fuel cladding failure, the isotopes of concern (iodines) would be released to the reactor coolant at the same time and distribution. 4.3 All reactor coolant mass is assumed to be released into the primary containment. This is consistent with the NEI 99-01 Rev. 6 developer notes. 5.0 Design Inputs 5.1 Duane Arnold's license thermal power limit is 1912 MWth, taken from Reference 3.4. 5.2 The specific volume of saturated liquid water at 1000 psia is 0.02160 ft 3/lbm per Appendix 23.B of Reference 3.7. 5.3 The following unit conversions are used within this calculation: Table 3 -Applicable Unit Conversions _ Base Unit Equivalent Reference

NEE-323-CALC-OO 1 EAL Threshold Determination REV. 00 6.0 Methodology The approach of this calculation is to scale the results of a previous calculation (NG-88-0966, Reference 3.1) based on the specific RCS activities as specified in NEI 99-01 Rev. 6. Scaling factors are determined for each of the fission product barrier failure thresholds specified in NEI 99-01 (i.e. Loss of RCS, Loss of Fuel Cladding, and Potential Loss of Primary Containment). The RCS activity concentrations are taken from the NEI 99-01 Rev. 6 developer notes and are listed below. Table 7 - RCS Activities for fission product barrier failures Failure RCS Activity

These scaling factors are then applied to the CAMS radiation response from calculation NG-88-0966 to determine the site-specific values for the three thresholds. Additionally, the previous calculation determined the CAMS radiation monitor response for an assumed release of 100% gap activity from the core with a power level of 1691 MWth. However, Duane Arnold's licensed power level is now 1912 MWth. This does not impact the Reactor Coolant System and Fuel Clad barrier thresholds because the radiation responses are scaled based on the DEi levels. However, the difference in licensed power level will need to be accounted for in the Potential Loss of Containment threshold because this threshold is related to the total gap inventory. Scaling of the gap inventory based on power level is consistent with calculation NG-88-0966 as Table 1 of NG-88-0966 provides gap inventory per megawatt. 6.1 Determination of RCS water volume and mass The NEI 99-01 Rev. 6 primary containment radiation thresholds are based on specific RCS radioactivity concentrations. However, the corresponding total RCS activity must be known in order to compare these thresholds to the gap release assumed in calculation NG-88-0966. Therefore, the total mass of water in the RCS must first be determined so that the total RCS activity can be calculated for each threshold. The total RCS water volume at normal operation is determined by taking the RCS volume when filled to the centerline of the main steam lines, and then subtracting the difference in volume between the centerline of the main steam lines and the normal water level. This is presented in Equation 1 below: vnormal = VMSL - aH [Equation 1] Where: Vnormal = The RCS water volume at normal operation (gallons) Page 8 of 10

CALC a ENERCON Ex?;ellenc~EVery project Ev~ry day. Primary Containment Radiation EAL Threshold Determination NO. NEE-323-CALC-001 REV. 00 VMsL = The RCS water volume when filled to the centerline of the main steam lines (gallons) a = The change in RCS water volume per inch change in vessel height (gallons/inch) H = The distance between the centerline of the main steam lines and the normal RCS water level (inches) It should be noted that calculating the RCS volume as shown above does not include the volume of the steam lines. However, the volume of the steam lines filled to the centerline of the nozzle is very small compared to the total RCS volume, and therefore does not significantly impact the results of the calculation. The total mass of water in the RCS can then be determined based on the water density, as outlined in Equation 2 below: M norma.l.

                                                     = Vnonnal v              [Equation 2]

Where: Mnormal = The mass of water in the RCS at normal operation (grams) v = The specific volume of water at normal operation (grams/gallon) 6.2 Determination of Scaling Factors The scaling factors for the fuel clad and RCS barrier thresholds are determined by comparing the corresponding dose at eaeh RCS activity concentration to the DEi of the fission product gap inventory. This is presented in Equation 3 below: DCF1-131A1-131Mnormaz F = ~i=13s vcr.

                                       .l.ii=130 1i    I'i                       [Equation 3]

Where: F = The scaling factor for a given RCS activity concentration threshold. DCF,= The dose conversion factor for isotope "i" in mrem/Ci. These values are developed from

  • Table 6 above.

A1-131 = The 1-131 concentration in the RCS for a given threshold in Ci/gram. These values are developed from Table 7 and Design Input 5.4 above. Mnormal = The mass of RCS water at normal operation in grams. This value is determined from Equation 2 above.

    /;=The gap inventory of iodine isotope "i" at a power level of 1691 MWth in Ci. These values are taken from Table 5 above.

CALC 0 . ENERCON Ex~ellence-;-EveryprojeCr. Every day. Primary Containment Radiation EAL Threshold Determination NO. NEE-323-CALC-OO 1 REV. 00 For the potential loss of containment threshold, NEI 99-01 specifies that 20% of fuel cladding has failed, rather than giving a specific RCS activity concentration. Therefore, the scaling factor for this case is simply 0.2 (20% of the 100% gap release case) multiplied by the ratio of the new to previous licensed power levels (1912/1691) to account for the increased gap inventory. 6.3 Determination of CAMS Detector Response Once the scaling factors have been determined for each of the three RCS activity concentration thresholds, they can be . applied to the results of calculation NG-88-0966 to determine the CAMS detector response for each threshold. Specifically, the CAMS detector response can be obtained from Equation 3 below: [Equation 3] Where: Dj = The dose rate at the CAMS detector for an RCS activity concentration of "j" in R/hr Fj = The scaling factor for an RCS activity concentration of "j", determined from Equation 2 above DGAP = The dose rate at the CAMS monitor location for 100% gap release of a 1691 MWth core in R/hr 7 .0 Calculation All calculations were completed using Microsoft Excel. The calculation results and spreadsheet formulas are presented in Appendix A and B, respectively. 8.0 Impact Assessment This calculation is based on "realistic" assumptions for the purpose of declaring EALs, rather than typical conservative "bounding" type design basis analyses. The calculation results are intended to provide order of magnitude dose rates to assist Operations and Emergency Response personnel in determining the state of the three fission product barriers in accordance with NEI 99-01 Rev. 6.

AOP 915 SHUTDOWN OUTSIDE CONTROL ROOM SECTION 1 I TRANSFER OF CONTROL TO THE REMOTE SHUTDOWN PANEL CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS IF while performing this procedure: IF Control Room access is regained THEN when directed by the Emergency Response and Recovery Director AND resume control of unaffected personnel are available components from the Control Room AND maintain control of Division II components from 1C388 until operability of Control Room instruments, indications and controls has been verified. NOTE

  • Operations personnel evacuate to the Remote Shutdown Panel except: the STA, Shift Communicator, and on-site personnel not on shift evacuate to the TSC.
  • The preferred evacuation route to the Remote Shutdown Panel is out the back door df the Control Room, and down the stairs. Emergency lightfng is provided for this path.
  • The alternate evacuation route to the Remote Shutdown Panel is out the front doo*r of the Control Room, and down the stairs to access control. Emergency lighting is provided for this path.
  • Since fire induced failure in 1C05 could adversely affect manual scram circuits, the initiation of ATWS ARI/RPT provides a redundant and diverse means of control rod insertion.

CAUTION For Control Room evacuation as the result of a fire, transfer of control at panels 1C388, 1C389, 1C390, 1C391, 1C392 is required to be completed within 20 minutes. IAOP 915 Page 4 of 94 Rev. 571
