The Nuclear Emergency Response Plan (NERP) describes thetotal preparedness program established, implemented andcoordinated by the Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation(RG&E) to ensure the capability and readiness for copingwith and mitigating both onsite and offsite consequencesof radiological emergencies at RG&E's operating nuclearpower plant, Ginna Station. The plan covers the spectrumof emergencies from minor localized incidents to majoremergencies involving protective measures by offsiteresponse organizations. Included are guidelines forimmediate response, assessment of emergency situationsgdefined action criteria and delineation of support andrecovery functions. Emergency implementing proceduresprovide detailed information for individuals who may beinvolved with specific emergency response functions.The NERP provides for a graded scale of response fordistinct classifications of emergency conditions, actionwithin those classifications and criteria for escalatingto a more severe classification. This classificationsystem is identical to that used by the State of NewYork and the local (Wayne and Monroe County) emergencyresponse agencies. The plans have four categories ofemergencies: Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergencyand General Emergency. A fifth classification, LocalRadiation Emergency has been added. A Local RadiationEmergency is less severe than an Unusual Event and doesnot involve any offsite organization.The NERP describes the activities and provisions otherthan engineered safeguards systems which are intended tolimit exposures to the general public as wall as toplant personnel. The NERP covers the following condi-tions:1) Major release to the atmosphere

2) Major release to the lake.

3) Abnormally high radiation or airborne radioactivityin a particular area of the plant.

4) Plant conditions that may lead to potentialreleases.

Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation has the immediateand continuing responsibility for limiting the conse-quences of an incident at the Ginna Nuclear Power Plant.Limiting the consequences to public health and safetyshould take clear precedence over limiting financialloss or adverse publicity. During a radiologicalemergency, RG&E should take whatever action is deemednecessary to limit the consequences to public health andsafety, even if that action violates the Ginna TechnicalSpecifications. Such actions would require concurrenceof a minimum of two licensed reactor operators andfollow up notification to the NRC in accordance with 10CFR 50 '4X.RG&E is responsible for keeping local, State and Federalauthorities informed on the status of the. emergency asit relates to protection of the public health and safety.RG&E will recommend to local, State and Federal authori-ties specific protective actions to limit the danger tothe public, including evacuation.

RG&E understands that it is the Nuclear Regulatory Commis-sion's policy that the emergency should be managed bythe licensee. The NRC staff at the Region I OperationsCenter is limited in its ability to provide detailedrecommendations to plant personnel or plant managers atthe site. RG&E understands that the NRC Operations Centerwill be the primary location where this agency willmonitor and evaluate licensee actions. During thattime, the normal response roles for the NRC OperationsCenter will be to monitor,,inform, and, upon request,advise licensees and other local, State and Federalauthorities. The authority for managing the NRC'semergency response efforts will be transferred to asenior onsite NRC representative when the NRC RegionalAdministrator is confident the onsite representatives areprepared to receive that authority. Their role willcontinue to be monitoring, advisory and informing plantand local authorities.

He will act as liaisonwith private organizations in developing plans whichaugment RG&E Plans.

~Di~l - A drill is a supervised instruction periodaimed at developing, maintaining and testing skillsneeded for a particular operation. A drill will besupervised by qualified instructors or controllers.

e lass ev « Four EmergencyClassification Levels have been established by theNRC and incorporated into the NERP and State andCounty Plans. Each class requires a different degreeof response actions by the state, counties andRGEE. The four classes are:

Unusual Event - an event which indicates a potentialdegradation of the level of safety of the plantAlert - an event in progress which involves anactual or potentially substantial degradation ofthe level of safety of the plantSite Area Emergency - events have occurred whichinvolve actual or likely ma) or failures of plantfunctions needed for protection of the publicGeneral Emergency - events which involve actual orimminent substantial core degradation or meltingwith potential for loss of containment integrity

e Coo at - An individual who hasreceived appropriate training in the actions to betaken in the event of an incident at Ginna Station.He has full authority and responsibility for meetingthe emergency. This is the Shift Supervisor untilhe is relieved by the TSC Emergency Coordinatortaking Command and Control. Finally when theEOF/Recovery Center assumes Command and Control,the EOF/Recovery Manager assumes overall responsi-bility for the emergency. The Emergency Coordinatormaintains close liaison between the TSC and EOF.

0The primary object of this plan is to protect the publicand on4ite personnel in the event of a radiation emer-gency. This plan describes in general the actions to betaken by RG&E personnel in coordination with local,state and federal authorities.Through an emergency organization, which is described,the magnitude and impact of radioactive releases will beassessed and the need for the activation of a moreextensive emergency response will be determined. Thesystems for notification of emergency personnel, federalstate and local authorities and the public are describedalong with the emergency facilities and equipment whichare available for the trained emergency staff. The goalof the RG&E Emergency Organization is the safe shutdownand recovery of Ginna Station and protection of thehealth and safety of the public and employees.

The general actions to be taken in the event of aradiation accident include the following:1) Observation and determination of the class of the

occurrence.

2) Prevention or minimization of radiation hazards bythe Emergency Coordinator and the on-duty operators.

3) Evacuation of all non-essential personnel from thePlant to the Ginna Training Center.

4) Involvement of Plant Guards, Supervisory personnel,Chemistry and Health Physics personnel, and otherplant staff.

5) Notification of NRC Operations Center and State andLocal Authorities, issuance of news releases, andemergency medical treatment.

6) Activation of Emergency Response and EmergencySupport Organizations.

7) Recovery and restoration of the plant to normaloperation.

The extent of response to an emergency situation isdetermined by the seriousness of potential consequences.With +e potential for effects to the general public,the assistance of state, local and federal agencies willbe required. For situations'hich only affect on-siteoperations, the situation will be met by RG&E capability.

The awareness of an emergency situation vill most likelyoriginate in the Control Room. From an evaluation ofplant parameters, the seriousness of the incident can bedetermined and the appropriate classification determined.Tho on-duty plant operators, under the dire'ction of theShift Supervisor, in consultation with the ShiftTechnical Advisor, will take action to mitigate theincident and to obtain the assistance of other plant andRG&E personnel.

Personnel onsite vill be alerted by a warning signal ifevacuation is deemed advisable and off-duty personnelwill be called in through an established call procedure.Federal, State and County officials will be notified sothat they may begin to set up their response organiza-tions. If the level of the incident requires activationof the Emergency Organization, trained people will man,theTechnical Support Center, the Survey Center and laterthe Emergency Operations Facility. , These centers willbe activated, per procedure, by designated people whohave'een trained in the'uties required to meet theincident. Sufficient individuals are trained so thatthe Jobs can be filled regardless oi who is on site or'vailable for call-in.Public off'icials vill be kept informed of the situationas it progresses. For certain classes of events, theEOF will be activated for continuing management of theincident and to assist in restoring the plant to normaloperation. A Joint Emergency News Center will beestablished to keep the public avare of the situationand news releases will be coordinated between RG&E, NewYork State and other government agencies.

Emergencies are classified into five categories whichcover the entire spectrum from probable incidents topostulated major accidents. This system is coordinatedwith NRC, New York State, Wayne County and Monroe Countyto ensure that the classification system is compatiblewith that used by all organizations. The system providesfor notification of appropriate emergency responseorganizations and implementation of actions immediatelyapplicable to a specific condition. Provisions areincluded for revising the classification level and thecorresponding responses in tha event of a change inseverity of the emergency condition. This sectionidentifies the events which comprise each of the fiveemergency classifications.Criteria for characterizing, recognizing and declaringeach emergency class are given along with appropriateaction levels. Recognition and action level criteriaare based, to the extent feasible, on readily availableinformation such as Control Room instrumentation. Plantparameter values and the corresponding emergency classi-fications are given in appropriate implementing procedu-res. Immediate actions to be taken in response to plantcondition are detailed in plant operating and emergencyprocedures. Other emergency actions in response toradiation emergencies are identified in section 5.0 anddescribed in detail in applicable Emergency Plan Imple-menting Procedures (EPIP) as listed in Appendix E.

The emergency classification system is illustrated bysome examples provided in Table 3.1. A comprehensivelisting of Ginna specific initiating conditions for eachemergency classification is provided in EPIP 1-0. EPIP1-0 is based on NRC guidance provided in NUREG 0654Appendix 1 and demonstrates how an initiating conditionleads directly to the appropriate emergency classi-fication, based on the magnitude of the event. In somecases, extensive assessment is necessary to determinethe applicable emergency classification. In any case,continuing reassessment is required to ensure that theclassification is upgraded or downgraded commensuratewith the severity of the condition.

Procedure EPIP 1-0 among others, can be found in theControl Room, Technical Support Center and EmergencyOperations Facility.

3 ' adiat on e e cIncidents may occur which require response only within theplant. A Local Radiation Emergency is defined as aradiation emergency condition whose consequences affectonly personnel onsite. A Local Radiation Emergencyshall be declared when 1) any area monitor alarmsunexpectedly 2) there is reported an unexpected increasein the airborne activity in a work area, 3) there is asignificant radioactive spill in an area, 4) Hi Fluxalarm during shutdown, or 5) the operator in chargedeems it necessary. Operator )udgment shall prevail sothat the emergency procedure may be initiated withouttotal dependence on instruments.

A radiation alarm in the Auxiliary Building couldindicate a faulty monitor, but if the vent monitoralarms concurrently, a serious condition has probablyoccurred. A release rate of less than Technical Specific-ation limits can be treated as a Local Radiation Emer-gency.

An alarm on the liquid effluent monitor (R-18) couldindicate a low level release of radioactivity into thelake. This would require action by plant personnel. Arelease at levels less than the limits given in 10CFR20,Appendix B, Table II, Column 2 can be treated aa a LocalRadiation Emergency.

3 'Events within this classification generally characterizeoff-normal plant conditions which, by themselves, do notconstitute significant emergency conditions. Some ofthese events could, however, indicate a potential de-gradation in the level of plant safety and/or couldescalate to a more severe condit'ion if appropriateaction is not taken.

The primary purpose for this classification ia to ensurethat the plant operating staff recognizes initiatingconditions, takes appropriate action and comes to a stateof readiness to respond in the event that the conditionbecomes more significant. The Unusual Event classifica-tion or higher also requires that off-site authoritiesare promptly informed of'he abnormal condition by useof the Radiological Emergency Communications System(RECS) and the New York State Radiological Data Form,Part I, EPIP 1-5. No response is necessary by off-siteauthorities for events within this classification. TheTSC or EOF will,not usually. be activated, although thePlant Manager, Duty Engi'neer,'nd Operations Nanager ortheir alternates will normally report to the TSC toprovide communications assistance.

An example of EPIP 1-0 (Table 3.1) indicates the degreeof severity which classifies an initiating conditionsuch as an Unusual Event. When giving notice to stateand county officials RG&E will make sure that theyclearly understand the Unusual Event classification andthat if conditions change there will be further notifi-cation.

A~crt:

This classification is characterized by events whichindicate an actual degradation of the level of plantsafety. This classification may require response by theplant emergency organization, augmentation of onsiteemergency resources, and constitutes the lowest levelwhere emergency offsite response may be anticipated.EPZP 1-0 shows the degree of severity which categorizesplant conditions as "Alert" class. The Technical SupportCenter will be manned for all conditions of the Alertclass. The EOF may be activated at the discretion ofthe EOF/Recovery Manager.

Prompt notification of an event within this class willbe made to the NRC, State of New York and Monroe andWayne Counties. While the initial assessment would notrequire immediate response, potential releases ofradioactivity make it advisable to alert offsiteorganizations. Periodic status updates will be made tokeep authorities aware of the situation.Ste e Em ecA Site Area Emergency is characterized by events involvingactual or probable major failures of plant functionsneeded for protection of the public. Most events withinthis classification constitute actual or clear potentialfor significant releases of radioactive material to theenvironment. Although emergency actions involvingmembers of the public may not be necessary, offsiteemergency response organizations should be mobilized andready to implement protective measures. Protectiveactions taken onsite are: the evacuation of all personsin areas other than the Control Room and TechnicalSupport Center; activation of the Technical SupportCenters initiation of onsite and offsite radiationmonitoring; and close monitoring of plant status so thatutility and other authorities can be advised of changingconditions, whether increasing or decreasing in severity.Meteorological and release data and survey results willbe used to provide offsite dose estimates. For a SiteArea Emergency the EOF will be activated.

3 ' ea Emerec

A General Emergency is characterized by events whichinvolve actual or imminent substantial core degradationor melting with potential for loss of containmentintegrity. Initial declaration that a General Emergencymay exist is based on a situation which may have thepotential for serious radiological consequences to thehealth and safety of the general'ublic. A Site AreaEmergency most likely would have been declared earlier,and if events are in progress which may involve coredegradation with potential for loss of containmentintegrity a General Emergency should be declared. For aGeneral Emergency all centers will have to be activated.

The Emergency Coordinator or EOF/Recovery Manager, if hehas assumed command and control, will promptly notifystate and local authorities and the NRC of the plantstatus and reasons for declaring a General Emergency.The Emergency Coordinator or EOF/Recovery Manager willalso make recommendations for offsite emergency measuresto be taken. The responsibility for this recommendationto offsite authorities may not be delegated.

3.6 a e o New o WaLoOs:

o Co e e

It is the responsibility of the Rochester Gas and ElectricCorporation to provide prompt notification to State andCounty authorities when conditions or circumstancesonsite have affected or may affect normal and safe plantoperations.

It is the responsibility of these offsite agencies toprovide prompt notification to their parent and supportorganizations ii it is determined that conditions orcircumstances either offsite or onsite have affected ormay affect normal and safe plant operations, or conditionsin the environs.

Wayne and Monroe Counties decision process includes EPAprotective Action Guidelines (PAG), current road andweather conditions, time requirements for implementingPAGS and accident diagnosis and prognosis received fromthe licensee, NYSDOH, USNRC and DOE.


19

For this purpose, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission(NRC) has established, and the State of New York, hasaccepted four Emergency Classification Levels for whichRG&E shall provide early and prompt notification to bothState and Local (County) authorities. The four EmergencyClassification Levels that are in the New York StateRadiological Emergency Preparedness Plan are:

Unusual events are in progress or have occurredwhich indicate a potential degradation of thelevel of safety of the plant.

b) AlertEvents are in progress or have occurred whichinvolve an actual or potential substantial degrada-tion 'of the level of safety of the plant.

c) S te Area Emer encEvents are in progress or have occurred whichinvolve actual or likely ma)or failures of plantfunctions needed for protection of the public.

d) General Emer e cEvents are in progress or have occurred whichinvolve actual or imminent substantial core degrada-tion or melting with potential for loss of contain-ment integrity.

The rationale for the "Unusual Event" and "Alert" classesis to provide early and prompt notification of minorevents which could lead to more serious consequencesgiven operator error or equipment failure, or whichmight be indicative of more serious conditions which arenot yet fully realized. A gradation is provided toassure more complete response preparations for moreserious indicators.The "Site Area Emergency" class reflects conditions wheresome significant releases are likely or are occurringbut where a core-melt situation is not indicated, basedon current information. The "General Emergency" classinvolves actual or imminent substantial core degradationor melting with the potential for loss of containment.For both the "Site Area Emergency" and "General Emer-gency," full mobilization of emergency personnel in thenear-sita environs is indicated as well aa dispatch ofmonitoring teams and associated communications.

For a "General Emergency" immediate public protectiveactions are necessary. The State Commiss1onor ofHealth, based on information obtained from RG&E or othersources and his own understanding of events and circum-stances, may recommend protective actions of differentseverity than those recommended by RG&E. It he does,the protective action recommended by the State vill be thebasis upon which emergency response actions are declaredby both State and county authorities.

The overall responsibility for safe operation of theplant rests with the Plant Manager. The normal stafforganization is given in Figure 4.1. Individualresponsibilities for normal operations are defined inAdministrative Procedures. The minimum shift complementconsists of the operating personnel as shown in Figure4.2: one Shift Supervisor, one Control Room Foreman, oneHead Control Operator, one Control Operator, twoAuxiliary Operators, ona Communicator, and a ShiftTechnical Advisor as specified in Technical Speci-fications. Also available for operational assessment isa Duty Engineer on 24 hour call. As part of each shifta third Auxiliary Operator is designated Communicator.

Radiation protection within the plant is provided by theHealth Physics Technician on duty. This individual isalso trained in chemistry and is scheduled around theclock for normal operations. According to the call-inprocedure all other technicians and chemists can becalled in to assist in case of emergency. He is augmentedby Auxiliary Operators, who are also trained in healthphysics practices.Xn accordance with the Technical Specifications, a 5person fire brigade is on site at all times. Proceduresprovide for calling the local fire department for assis-tance, if needed.

Medical emergencies and First aid are covered by anadministrative procedure (A-7 "Procedures for Handlingillness or Inguries at Ginna Station). Operations staffare trained in first aid.The operating shift complement provides the initialemergency response and the communications links tooffsite participating emergency organizations and/or to I

4.2.1 The overall responsibility of the Nuclear EmergencyResponse Plan (NERP) implementation is assigned to anEmergency Coordinator. These individuals have receivedappropriate training in the actions to be taken in theevent of an incident at Ginna Station. He has fullauthority and responsibility for meeting the emergency.This is the Shift Supervisor until he is relieved by theTSC Emergency Coordinator taking Command and Control.Finally when the EOF/Recovery Center assumes Command andControl, the EOF/Recovery Manager assumes overallresponsibility for the emergency. The Emergency Coor-dinator maintains close liaison between the TSC and EOF.

The Emergency Coordinator is authorized to make any andall procurements and expenditures he deems necessary,and to order any services from within or outside theCompany. He shall maintain communication and liaisonwith the NRC, State of New York cognizant agencies andcounty authorities regarding offsite support activitiesand will recommend protective actions based upon availableinformation. Following the transfer of command andcontrol to the EOF/Recovery Center, the EOP/RecoveryManager will assure a continuity of resources for con-tinuous operations over a protracted period of time.Figure 4.2A shows the organization with the ShiftSupervisor as Emergency Coordinator. This Phase Iorganization is the normal Control Room complement andhas Emergency responsibility until relieved by the TSCEmergency Coordinator and a Phase II organization.After the Plant Assessment Team is active, the ControlRoom organization reports to the Plant OperationsAssessment Manager as shown in Figure 4.2B and then hasthe primary function of'afe plant manipulation.Table 4.1 illustrates the correlation between the Plantorganization (Figures 4.2A and 4.2B) and NUREG 0654.

Figure 4.2B shows the Emergency Organization after theTSC Emergency Coordinator assumes command and control.Under the Emergency Coordinator there are eight ma)orfunctions in the emergency organization, Admin./Communi-cation, Security, Dose Assessment, Survey Center, HealthPhysics and Chemistry, Plant Technical Assessment, PlantMaintenance Assessment and Plant Operations Assessment.If onsite, when notified of TSC activation, the emergencyorganization personnel will report immediately to theTSC. If offsite when they receive notification, asspecified in implementing procedures, personnel shallreport to the Plant or Survey Center (if directed) toobtain assignments. The Ginna Training Center is usedas an emergency congregating area for personnel calledfrom offsite. A board in the Survey Center contains anumber of tags on which there is a list of duties foreach person. The tags are picked up in order of highestpriority for which personnel are trained as they arriveat the Survey Center. They will proceed to the TSC asadvised by the Survey Center Manager or EmergencyCoordinator.

When onsite, the Operations ,Manager or his alternateshall report to the Technical Support Center to directplant operations in combating the emergency. Accidentassessment will be performed mainly in the TechnicalSupport Center (TSC). This center will be manned byengineer level plant staff and will have available allinformation from the Control Room. The Ginna EmergencyResponse Organization consists of the following positions:Plant Manager, Operations Assessment Manager, Administra-tive/Communications Manager, Plant, Technical AssessmentManager, Plant Maintenance Assessment Manager, DoseAssessment Manager, Health Physics and Chemistry Managerand Survey Center Manager. These positions will bemanned by individuals reporting onsite within one hourof the declaration of an ALERT or higher classification.The Plant Security organization will maintain liaison inthe TSC so as to coordinate its onsite and site perimeteractivities with the needs of the Emergency Coordinator(See Figure 4.2B).

Radiological Exposure Control is the responsibility ofthe Health Physics and Chemistry Manager and his healthphysicists. One Health Physicist is responsible foroffsite dose assessment and one has onsite respon-sibility in the Technical Support Center. Dose assessmentfor offsite areas will be made at the TSC until suchtime as the EOF organization is manned and prepared toassume responsibility for offsite dose assessment.Maps, procedures, trained personnel and current plantdata are available in the TSC for the aid in performingthese assessments.

The initial warning of an emergency situation is givenby the Control Room Operators. They will be aware ofany changes in the situation and give warning of theneed for a higher degree of action. The initial com-iaunication is also from the Control Room to local andstate officials and to the plant staff. As soon as theTechnical Support Center is operational, approximately15 minutes after arrival of trained personnel, individualstrained in using the communications equipment will takethe notification responsibility from the Control Room.They will continue to alert the plant staff and maintaincontact with state and local officials. Thus theControl Room personnel are able to concentrate on theoperations and/or shutdown of the plant.Responsibility for onsite health physics protectionrests with the Plant Health Physics and Chemistry Managerwho is part of the TSC Staff. He will insure theprecautions of section 5.4.4.1 are followed during theemergency.

The. Ginna Training Center basement is used as the SurveyCenter for dispatching monitoring teams. Informationgathered by the teams will be used by RGtE, the StateDepartment of Health and local authorities to determinewhat actions should be taken to limit radiation exposureto the general public. An alternate Survey Team stagingarea will be used in case the Ginna Training CenterBasement is not habitable. Alternate Survey TeamStaging areas may include the onsite Pro)ecta Buildingor other ofisite RGSE facilities. The Emergency Opera-tions Facility (EOF) also maintains radio and talephonecommunications capability for Survey Team deployment andplume tracking.The Survey Center Manager is one of the first positionsfilled. Trained Survey Team members pick up tags asthey arrive and immediately prepare to follow assignedsurvey routes. Their equipment as specified in proceduresincludes radios for communications with the TSC communi-cator and the Dose Assessment Manager. Each team,consisting of two persons obtain transportation (See5.4.7) and monitoring equipment (See 6.3.9 and AppendixD) and can be in the field within 45 minutes after theincident. Survey teams can be directed froa the EOF ifthe Survey Center is not habitable or when EOt.assumesformal control of the offsite teams.

All personnel are trained to specific responsibilitieswithin the Emergency Organization and records aremaintained by the Training Division and in CentralRecords.

The Ginna Emergency Organization is augmented by anumber of offsite services. Figure 4.3 shows therelationship of non RGSE offsite organizations inemergency response. Letters of agreement are provided,in Appendix A. These agreements will be consideredvalid until changed by the authors. The role of the EOFStaff, made up of headquarters personnel operating fromthe EOF, is explained in Section 9.0.Plant procedures contain the phone numbers and alternatemeans of contact needed to initiate emergency responseactions. The communicator will initiate a call to NewYork State, Monroe County and Wayne County EOC, usingthe NYS Radiological Emergency Communication System(RECS) hot line. During vorking hours the EOC directorwill respond and during ofi hours a Sheriffs Departmentor the State Police responds for each Emergency Directorto RECS hot line calls.

4 '.1

The EOF/Recovery Manager is alerted by a call from theGinna Control Room. Other offsite assistance such asDOE-RAP team or Westinghouse is alerted by a call fromthe Emergency Coordinator or designee to their dutyofficer at the phone numbers listed in procedures.

Sta o New Yo

RGSE has coordinated this emergency plan with the NevYork State Department of Health, and officials of Monroeand Wayne Counties. RG&E has agreed to notify theseorganizations in the event of any emergency involvingthe general public. The participation of the State andCounties in the emergency action is outlined in the NewYork State Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan. Ingeneral the responsibility of the State of New York isto minimize the risk to the health of the inhabitants ofthe state, in the event of a radiological emergency.

Since Ginna Station is located in DOE Region I, theBrookhaven Office of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)has the responsibility to provide radiological assistancein the event of an emergency. Their principal goal is tobe prepared in the event of a ma)or accidental release,or other loss of control of radioactive material.

Radiological assistance can be requested at any time bycalling and indicating the nature of the incident, thelocation, and how to contact utilityand local 'authoritiesso as to coordinate the Department of Energy response.

The assistance includes advice and emergency actionessential for the control of the immediate hazards'ohealth and safety. This preparedness includes plans andprocedures for: effective and economic use of resources;minimization of radiation exposure of individuals andthe publicg prevention of the spread of radioactivematerials into the environmentg and appropriate counter-measures to control and remove radiological hazards.Large numbers of qualified radiation, nuclear andmedical specialists are the principal resource that canbe made available in an emergency along with quantitiesof radiation monitoring equipment and specializeddetector and test equipment.

Most assistance requests can be handled by giving advice,by sending radiological safety experts to the incidentscene, or by transferring the request to another federalagency or a state agency. The Department of Energy,Brookhaven Office has agreed to provide such assistanceupon notification oi a hazard to the general public.Available resources are noted in the County plans.Assistance could be on site within 4 hours of a request.RG&E will supply whatever support services and resourcesare needed to maintain federal assistance. RAP/IRAP teamsinitiallyreport to the EOP for briefing and coordination.

Zt should be understood that this federal advice,assistance and equipment is provided to the local govern-ment institutions to assist in carrying out theirresponsibilities and authority for protecting the healthand safety of the local population and in no way'upers-edes that local responsibility. Furthermore, thisassistance may be terminated as soon as the 1xaediatehazards are brought under co'ntrol and there ia reaionableassurance that public health and safety are beingprotected.

Tha Wayne County Sheriff's Department will assume respon-sibility for necessary police services in Wayne County.They respond to directions and requests from the Directorof Wayne County, Office of Emergency Management, whoidentifies problems and designates responsibilities.RG&E, Ginna Station, does not make direct contact withthe Sheriff's Department for radiation emergency.The same arrangement is true f'r the Monroe CountySheriff's Department which is directed by the MonroeCounty Director of Emergency Preparedness.

Three area physicians have been retained as plant doctorsto be on call for emergency assistance. Whenever RG&Epatients are referred to the hospital, a plant doctormonitors the cases for RG&E. These licensed physiciansare available to Ginna Station as medical consultantsand for immediate emergency treatment. They have attendedthe Training Seminars on Medical Care and Treatment ofRadiation Accidents and seminars given by RadiationManagement Consultants, and NRC.

The responsibility of the Ontario Volunteer EmergencySquad (OVES) is to respond to requests by RG&E to assistin emergency first aid and to transport patients to thehospital if required. The Emergency Medical procedureincludes the means of communications with AmbulanceSquad.

OVES is located about five miles from Ginna Station. Ztis a volunteer organization consisting of about 60members. They have been trained in rescue and first aidand require a certified medic (Emergency Medical Tech-nician - EMT) to respond with all ambulance crews. .Thelevel of patient care OVES provides is sustained duringtransport to other advanced medical facilitiea such asRochester General Hospital. The emergency squad maintainsall required training certifications as required by theNew York State Health Department Bureau of EmergencyHealth Services. Active members are required to be atleast 18 years of age and have a minimum training levelequivalent to the American Red Cross Standard First AidCourse. The members are invited to attend an annualGinna Station site refamiliarization tour and areinstructed'n radiation protection requirements.

There are two radiochemical laboratories at Ginna. oneia adjacent to the controlled area and is used for primarycoolant and other plant samples.

The second laboratory is used for environmental samplesand is located in the Ginna Training Center East, remotefrom the plant. This laboratory duplicates the mainlaboratory equipment and could be used for diluted postaccident samples if needed. Zt would most likely remainat a lower background level.The laboratory at James A. Pitzpatrick Nuclear PowerPlant of NYPA is available for analysis of samples. Thelaboratory is located about 45 miles distant nearFulton, NY.

The following sections provide the guidelines for theimplementing procedures of the five emergency categoriesdescribed in Section 3.0.

Rad atio Eme e c

A Local Radiation Emergency classification is establishedto provide a level of response to a radiological incidentwhich is less serious than the four Emergency Classifica-tions. It has no effect offsite and has no potentialfor any offsite effects. There is normally no notifica-„tion or actions required by offsite agencies."

a) Any individual aware of an incident shall notifythe Control Room of this fact.

b) The licensed Reactor Operator shall announce overthe Plant P.A. System that a local evacuation ofthe area is required.

c) All personnel in the affected area shall reportto the Lunch Room in the Service Building afterbeing monitored for contamination.

0 -Dut Shift Su e so :

The on-duty Shift Supervisor shall:a) Report to Control Room.

b) Evaluate plant conditions by checking readingsof all control system measured paraaeters andradiation monitors and evaluate any surveys taken.

c) Dispatch a Survey Team (Health Physics Techniciansor Auxiliary Operators) to conduct both in-plantand area surveys as necessary who should:

l. Isolate the affected area (rope barriers if neces-sary).

2. Determine cause of accident and restore conditionsin'the area to normal if possible.

d) Inform the Plant Manager or his alternate and theDuty Engineer.

The plant Manager, the Duty Engineer and Health physicistwill, if onsite, evaluate the situation and determinethe course of action.

Non-operating personnel in the affected area who are notcontaminated shall report to the Service Building LunchRoom for debriefing. Contaminated personnel shouldreport the Decontamination Area and proceed with decont-amination. Specific instructions are provided inadministrative radiation protection procedures. Ifemergency medical treatment is required, administrativeprocedures provide specific actions for such incidents.

Affected areas will be evacuated for local RadiationEmergencies by making an announcement to clear thoseareas. Upon assessment of plant conditions, the EmergencyCoordinator may determine that the plant is safe forpersonnel to return to normal duties.

5 ' ~ 3 s ent 0 ~

The Shift Supervisor and/or the Plant Manager shalldetermine the course of action to be taken to clean upthe affected area, correct the cause of the accident andreturn the area to normal operation. State and countyauthorities may be notified of the incident for informa-tional purposes but no actions are required off-site.Management will be notified and the Plant OperationReview Committee shall review the accident and recommendactions to prevent its recurrence.

5.2 u Eve t:The purpose for the Unusual Event. classification is toprovide early warning of minor events which could leadto more serious consequences. The Unusual Event condit-ions indicate a potential degradation oi the level, ofsafety of the plant. No releases of radioactive materialrequiring offsite response or monitoring are expectedunless further degradation of safety systems occurs.Declaring an Unusual Event assures that the first stepfor any response later found to be necessary has beencarried out by bringing onsite staff and offsiteorganizations to a state of readiness, thereby providinga system for handling information and decision making.

The NRC; state and county authorities will be promptlynotified to assure that the first step of any necessary. response can .be initiated. Plant Manager and the DutyEngineer will be notified of the Unusual Event Emergencyto bring the plant staff to a state of readiness andprovide for responsible decision making. On-shiftresources can be augmented so as to be able to assessand respond as needed. Offsite organizations will standby for further information or closeout.

5 '

Events of the Alert classification involve actual orpotential degradation of the level of 'safety of theplant. Any radioactivity released would result inexposures only a small fraction of the guidelines forrequired offsite action. By assuring that emergencypersonnel are available to respond if the situationshould become worse, protective. actions could be takenmuch quicker, such as, performing confirmatory radiationmonitoring and providing offsite authorities withcurrent status information.for events which fall in the Alert classification, GinnaStation will promptly notify the NRC, state and countyauthorities of the Alert status and the reasons for theclassification. The Technical Support Center vill bemanned so as to assist in the assessment of the incidentand determination of a proper response. Periodic plantstatus updates will b» given to offsite authorities, vhowill also be advised of any change in the classificationof the incident. The EOF will not necessarily be mannedat this level but the EOF Organization may be put onstandby so as to be ready if the condition degrades.

offsita agencies will activate primary response centersto stand by status and will alert other key emergencypersonnel, such as monitoring teams and communicationscenters, Emergency Broadcast System, or law enforcement.They will be ready to escalate to a more severe classifi-

A Site Area Emergency is declared when events are inprogress or have occurred which involve actual or likelyma)or failures of plant functions needed for the protec-tion of the public. Any releases are not expected toexceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levelsexcept near the site boundary.

In the event that a Site Area Emergency is declared, theactions to be taken by various plant groups are detailedin the implementing procedures for the Plant. TheControl Room will make the initial notification to theNRC, state and county authorities.The purpose of the declaration of a Site Area Emergency'is to assure that personnel required for evacuation ofnear-site areas are at their duty stations if such anevacuation is called for. Also offsite agency authoritieswill be available at primary response centers forconsultation and updates on the situation, and toprovide information to the public.

to o Emerec 0 a tEmergency procedures necessary to cope with the plantsystem malfunction will be implemented. All on-dutyoperations personnel will report to the Control Room.Control Room ventilation dampers will be switched fromoutside to inside air and the charcoal filters will beput into service. Communications will be established byensuring that the emergency radio remote/local switch isin the local position and by plugging in the intercomfor communications with the Emergency Centers as backupfor the phone system. Plant staff will be notified asspecified in the implementing procedures. This seriesof calls is arranged in order of importance and willactivate the Emergency Organization.

Unless they are already in the plant, persons so notifi'edwill report to the Survey Center where )obs are assignedin line with the trained capabilities of the individual.Procedures provide for manning the Technical SupportCenter, the Survey Center and the Operational SupportCenter. The Recovery organization will be activated atthe offsite Emergency Operations Facility. Figure 5.1shows the notification scheme.

The Emergency Medical Plan will be instituted if neces-sary. The Shift Supervisor shall be provided with

any'urveydata necessary for him to meet his responsibili-ties.The Emergency Coordinator will determine if additionalpersonnel should be called to the plant to cope withemergency conditions.

Personnel and cars shall be monitored and surveyed toassess the extent of contamination before leaving thesite. All non-essential personnel should be allowed toleave the site.

5.4 ' 0 s te P otect v Act ons:

During any radiological emergency, protective actionswill be employed as follows:5 ' gal t o rote o a e e

During a radiological emergency, precautions and limita-tions to minimize doses shall be observed by personnelentering an incident area. Zn general, doses will belimited to normal exposure limits. Every effort shallbe made to keep exposure to a minimum while accomplishingthe necessary tasks. Radiation exposures in an emergencyshall be evaluated on an ALARA basis. Survey teams arelimited to l Rem dose during the incident unless specialpermission is given by the. Emergency Coordinator or DoseAssessment.

For life saving actions such as the removal of an injuredperson and providing first aid, ambulance service,medical treatment other actions recgxired to reducesevere health effects to the public, volunteers mayreceive up to 75 Rem whole body exposure. The limit setfor performing assessment actions or undertaking correc-tive actions to prevent substantial radiological releasesis 25 Rem. Authorization to receive these high dosescan be given only by the Emergency Coordinator.

All entries into high radiation areas must be carefullyplanned from available survey data, review of personnelcurrent exposure records, and pre-planning of theactivities to be accomplished. Whenever entering anincident area, high range survey instruments and personnelmonitoring devices shall be employed, protective clothingand self-contained breathing apparatus shall be worn andsurvey teams will consist of at least two persons. TheEmergency Coordinator shall be notified before anysurvey team enters an incident area and close communica-tions shall be maintained as much as possible.


49

The radiation program during an emergency will be basedon the program as laid out in the HP series of proce-dures. Dosimeters and film badges are available in theSurvey Center for the survey teams. Provisions forround-the-clock capability to issue dosimeters andmaintain dose records will be established to meet longterm needs of the plant procedures. The capability toread TLDs will be used to maintain control of individualdoses.

kLThe instructions for restricted area evacuation are speci-fied in the implementing procedures. In general, theprocedures provide that:Any licensed Reactor Operator may sound the evacuationalarm (special tone) if evacuation of the plant isdeemed advisable.

Upon becoming aware of the evacuation alarm all personnel,except those whose duties during an emergency specifyotherwise, shall immediately leave their area of work bythe nearest exit. Auxiliary Building exits (south andeast) to the outdoors may be used. Shoe covers shouldbe removed. Personnel will walk to the Assembly Areaand stand by for further instructions. All film badgesand dosimeters will be retained by the individual.The "Assembly Area" refers to the Training Center or.alternate location depending on plume direction andhabitability considerations. Alternate locations mayinclude onsite buildings out of the plume (eg. Pro5ectsBuilding) or other offsite RG&E facilities.The guide accompanying any visitors is responsible tosee that visitors are taken to the Assembly Area. Otherpersonnel who may be on-site outside the restricted areawould hear the site evacuation signal. One siren of theERPA - Wayne 1 is located on-site and would warn theseworkers when the general population is alerted.After evacuation of the plant areas, an accounting willbo made of all personnel who were on site. Accoun»tability of personnel is carried out by plant securityusing the "Onsite» computer list to determine that allpersons are accounted for. A check with Control Room,Technical Support Center, and Operations Support Centerdetermines who is at those locations. Drills haveindicated that this procedure can be completed within 30.minutes. This procedure is verified to be ceaplete bythe Emergency Coordinator using his check list.

Cars will be monitored and surveyed as necessary beforethey are allowed to leave the site. Personnel leaving the~ite will take a route selected by the Emergency Coordin-ator, after consultation with the Wayne County EmergencyOperations Center giving consideration to the winddirection or road impediments. (See Figure 5.2) Beforeleaving, persons will be monitored for contamination andfilm badges collected.

Normally private cars would be used for leaving thesite. Zn case cars are contaminated, buses will bebrought in for the evacuation. The Emergency Coordinatorwill advise the Wayne County Emergency Director of thepersonnel, vehicles and evacuation routes which will beusedo

This planspec3,iies the types of medical action to be taken in anytype of radiation or contamination emergency. First aidteam members maintain their proficiency through RedCross First Aid Training.EPZP 2-9 provides guidelines for the administration anduse of potassium iodide (KZ) for onsite personnel andsurvey teams. The determination 'of need for KZ is theresponsibility of the Dose Assessment Manager or HealthPhysics and Chemistry Manager. Approval of the EmergencyCoordinator is required.

Radio-protective drugs will be issued for the generalpublic only if approved by the New York State Departmentof Health.

S a and Res

Following site evacuation all personnel will be accountedfor using security records, sign-in sheets, log sheets,etc. The Emergency Coordinator will determine thenecessity for a search and rescue operation. Such anoperation will be coordinated by the Shift Supervisorand the Emergency Coordinator.

The search and rescue team will consist of at leastthree persons including Security, Health Physics and aperson who knows the missing individual.The search should start at the'ast known location or workassignment of the unaccounted-for individual. Radiationsurveys should be made as the team progresses. It maybe necessary to administer first aid to the individualafter he is located.

5.4 ' ' m atoA Health Physics procedure (HP-6.3 "Personnel Decontamina-tion~) provides guidance for graduated measures to beused for decontamination. The ob)ective of decontamina-tion is to prevent the spread of radioactive material onthe individual, to the environment, or to other personneland to reduce the resultant dose. Decontamination isessentially the removal of radioactive material and isperformed starting with the highest level of contaminationusing the simplest procedures. Continued decontaminationmay show diminishing effectiveness and require a decisionto stop or use more potent agents.

Decontamination kits which contain items to decontaminatethe skin, for wound cleansing and nose irrigation areavailable. Decontamination should continue until it. isno longer effective but not so as to abrade skin. Thisprocedure should be effective against Iodine and othercontaminants.

Ii personnel cannot be decontaminated to the limits ofProcedure HP-6. 3, Radiation Management Consultants * maybe contacted.

Instruments are available to determine contaminationlevels of personnel or equipment and the effectivenessof decontamination. Waste drums are available ascontainers for radioactive waste and emergency clothingis available if needed.

Offsite authorities will provide assistance as needed toprotect the public. In the event a Site Area Emergencyis declared this may include activating the publicnotification system and providing information and periodicupdates of the situation through the EBS (EmergencyBroadcast System) and/or press briefings. Resources atprimary response centers will be augmented by callingother emergency services to stand by status and dispatc-hing certain emergency personnel to initiate theirfunctions, ie, monitoring and communications. Informationfrom the licensee, monitoring teams and weather stationsvill be continually evaluated with regard to changes inprotective actions already initiated for the public,such as sheltering of people or milk animals.

The General Emergency willbe declared when the conditionsdescribed in Section 3.5 exists.The purpose of the General Emergency declaration is to(1) initiate protective actions for the public aspredetermined or as indicated by actual releases, (2)provide continuous assessment of information from GinnaStation and offsite measurements, (3) provide consulta-tion with offsite authorities, and (4) keep the publicinformed thru updates of the situation through the JointEmergency News Center.

5 '.1 tos:A General Emergency requires that all actions prescribedfor the Site Area Emergency (See Section 5.4) be imple-mented. The NRC, State Bureau of Radiological Health,and county authorities who will already have beencontacted for lower classifications, will now be updated.

The Emergency Coordinator may request the assistance ofoffsite groups which could include Radiation ManagementConsultants, plant doctors, and Department of Energy-Brookhaven Radiation Assistance Program. Technicalpersonnel from other RGSE departments and/or consultantswill be called as needed.,

The Emergency Coordinator has the responsibility todetermine the magnitude and extent of the incident byevaluating information from the Control Room and theSurvey Teams. This information will consist of instrum-entation readings and any survey results available. Heshall update the state and local authorities with newsurvey data and other information and recommend protectiveactions. Protective action will be based on the "Manualof Protective Action Guides and Protective Action forNuclear Incidents" EPA-520/1-75-001-A, January 1990,U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. A summary ofrecommended actions is presented in Table 5.1.

In making his recommendation for sheltering or evacuation,the Emergency Coordinator should evaluate the weatherforecast in relation to changing winds and precipitation.he should also evaluate the calculated evacuation times(Appendix G) in relation to predicted start, length andtermination of a release. Due to the nature of ourclimate and corresponding construction of dwellings, theshielding effects of sheltering are greater than in manyother areas. A dose reduction factor of 0.6 - 0.9 isassumed for residences in this area for whole body directplume radiation.(1, 2)

The process radiation monitoring system provides indi-cations and alarms which permit assessment of in-plantconditions, as well as providing certain automaticactuations. The general functions of these systems areas follows:

a) To indicate primary system leakage and fuel rodfailures.

b) To indicate radioactivity levels in selected processsystems.

c) To indicate radioactivity released through vents ordrains.

d) To provide visible and audible alarms in theControl Room when a significant increase inradiation occurs in systems or areas.

e) 'o alarm in the Control Room on monitoring equipmentfailure.f) To shut down a purge or a release if radioactivity

reaches the alarm setpoints and thereby avoidexceeding the discharge limits.

uent Monitors:

Effluent monitors available at Ginna are listed inTables 6.3A and 6.3B. Of these monitors, particularimportance is placed upon the plant vent monitors andliquid release monitor; the former because, as describedin Section 3.0, Emergency Conditions, in combinationwith other monitors, it indicates the need for siteevacuation and protective actions for the public; thelatter because it indicates the need for protectivemeasures with regard to the use of lake water.

Alarm setpoints are based upon the maximum allowableenvironmental radioactivity concentration and dose whichmight result from a release and set at a fraction ofthose values. Monitor calibration factors, correlatingmonitor readings and vent concentrations can be used toestimate the release rate. Prom vent concentrations,the offsite dose or concentration levels can be calcu-lated. Table 6.3A summarizes these monitors and alarmfunctions..Several approaches are available to supplement effluentmonitor readings for the assessment of release rates andpro)ected doses. Estimates of radioactive materialsreleased and pro)ected doses are provided for variousaccident categories and modes of safeguard equipmentoperation in an implementing procedure for the EmergencyCoordinator's use.

High range monitors have been established for theestimation of noble gas release from the plant ventilationexhaust point in the event that normal range effluentmonitors are off scale or inoperable. Periodic grabsamples of effluent release paths would also be used toquantify and further refine estimated releases from theplant. Table 6.3B summarizes the SPING 4 high rangemonitoring system.

Zf no release data are available, a method for assessmentof release rates is used in con)unction with the X/Q mapoverlays and offsite concentrations. The release rateof radio active material from the plant can be calculatedfrom the measured airborne concentration at a givendownwind sample location and the X/Q value for thatlocation read from the map overlay. The airborne concen-tration is divided by the X/Q value and multiplied bythe wind speed to obtain an estimated release rate fromthe plant.Appendix C, Table C-1 of this plan contains a table ofresultant doses and quantities released from selectedpotential accidents. These doses and releases are basedupon 104 of the values used as part of the plant safetyevaluation.

"Manual of Protection Actions Guides and ProtectiveActions for Nuclear Incidents" (EPA 520/1-75-001), NUREG133 (Nov. 78) and Regulatory Guide 1.109 Rev. 1 (Oct. 77)provide the methodology for relating radiologicalmeasurements in various environmental media or effluentmonitor readings to offsite dose or dose rates. Meteoro-logical conditions can be factored into these calcula-tions.A procedure for manually estimating offsite doses forareas around the plant is available at the TSC and EOF.Based upon these results, protective actions can berecommended. A computer program operating on a micro-computer is also available in the TSC and EOF. Thissystem mimics the overlay method of calculating downwinddose rates and airborne contamination levels. A moresophisticated computer program which uses the methodsused for environmental dose calculations required byFederal regulations is also available to assess dosesduring and after an emergency. Additional information onthe radiological consequences of a variety of accidentscan be found in Chapter 15 of the Ginna Updated FinalSafety Analysis Report..

External dose or dose rates from surface contamination orairborne radioactivity are determined by direct fieldxeawurements (TLD or survey meter.) Xnternal dosecommitments from key isotopes via water or airbornepathways would be evaluated using the uptake rates,dose conversion factors, and other pathway parametersgiven in EPA 520, NUREG 133 and Regulatory Guide 1.109.Computer software is available through consultants usingthese dose calculational models so as to determine theradiological dose assessment. Zn this manner, rapiddetermination of dose estimates from multiple pathwaysmay be made for comparison with protective action guides.

t Labo ato e

The laboratory area of the plant is maintained for thepurpose of monitoring the condition of a variety offluid streams and stored fluids, including the activityand isotopic content; for assessing the degree of conta-mination of plant areas, movable items and personnel;and for storing, calibrating and maintaining portableand laboratory radiation measuring instruments. Separatelaboratory facilities are provided for assessing theeffect of the plant operation on the environs.

By the use of a Post Accident Sampling System located inthe controlled area of the Intermediate Building,samples can be drawn from reactor coolant, containmentatmosphere, and containment sump. These samples areprocessed from a remote control board to open valvescollect the sample and read out results of analysis.The sample can be remotely analyzed for dissolvedhydrogen, dissolved oxygen, boron and pH. Analysis forchlorides and radioactive isotopes can be completed ondiluted, shielded grab samples in a laboratory facilitywithin the times required by NRC NUREG-0737. Samplescan be taken and analyzed without exceeding personneldoses of 5 Rem. This system will also be used fornormal operational samples.

In addition to laboratory facilities within the plant,some laboratory capability is provided at the SurveyCenter for use in assessing the offsite effects of anincident. An Environmental Laboratory, located on thesite property, but outside the main plant building/contains all the equipment necessary for isotopic analy-sis. The resources of the Environmental Laboratoryoperated by the New York Power Authority at Fulton, NewYork are also available as noted in a letter of agreement.

Meteo olo ica o tor n

Data on meteorological conditions are available to theControl Room for use in assessing the consequences of anairborne release of radioactive matter. All meteorolog-ical measuring devices, with the exception of theprecipitation measuring system, are mounted on a 250foot weather tower located at the Ginna Plant site.Windspeed, wind direction and temperature are measuredat the 33, 150, and 250 foot levels. The 33 ft. wind,speed and direction sensor readings are recorded on theRadiation Monitoring System Panel in the Ginna ControlRoom. Temperatures at three tower levels are alsoindicated in the Control Room by digital display. Thisinformation will be relayed tc the NRC OperationsCenter, the New York State and County EOCa. Meteoro-logical data is available continuously and is alsoprogrammed for print out at 15 minute averages, accessiblefrom the TSC and EOF.

Sampling systems are established for normal environmentalsampling in the immediate area surrounding the plant andalso in locations whose distance from the plant roughlycorresponds to 1/100th of the onsite radioactivityconcentrations estimated from annual average atmosphericdispersion. These stations contain provisions for airsampling and for radiation dose measurement. Certainstations include precipitation collectors. They provideinformation about the extent of a general emergency andits effect on the environment, in accordance withappropriate implementing procedure.

In addition, an array of thermoluminescent dosimeters(TLD's) is in place at the site boundary, at approximately5 miles from the site, at the offsite sampling stations(approximately 10 miles) and at the onsite samplingstations. The survey teams willplace up to 25 additionalTLD's at specified locations during their tours after anincident, which will add to the evaluation of dosesthroughout the emergency planning zone. The placementof these TLD's around Ginna Station for routine or postaccident radiation assessment is given in an imple-menting procedure. Maps are included in that procedureso as to locate the TLD's for best coverage (Figure6.3). The radiological program provided meets theminimum requirements of the NRC Radiological AssessmentBranch Technical Position for Environmental RadiologicalMonitoring.

Monitoring teams are quickly dispatched to followdesignated routes for the field monitoring within theplume exposure zone. A Ginna Station procedure detailsthe method used for the rapid field determination ofairborne particulate and radioiodine concentrationsfollowing an accident in addition to radiation levels.The procedure consists of operating a portable airsampler which contains a silver zeolite cartridge andparticulate filter, followed by direct filter measurementwith a count rate meter probe. The minimum sensitivityfor iodine by this method, based upon a 6 minutesampling time is approximately 2.3 E-8 uCi/cc.It is recognized that under certain post-accident condi-tions, some unavoidable interference from noble gas orhigh background levels may affect the initial filterreadings being taken in the field. The absorption ofnoble gases in the charcoal cartridge would lead to anover estimate of airborne radioiodine concentrations.Therefore, silver zeolite is used. If background levelsare too high to determine a proper filter reading, analternate location out of the radiation plume will beused to obtain filter measurements.

Air samples collected by survey teams from portablesampling devices and from fixed air monitoring systemsmay be evaluated using higher sensitivity methods withonsite or near-site analytical equipment (e.g., environ-mental laboratory trailer).Emer enc Instruments and E i ment:

Emergency equipment for the various centers is describedin Appendix D. This equipment is checked monthly to becertain that it is available, in place and operable.Any instrument or equipment found to be in need ofrepair or calibration is immediately replaced from theHealth Physics reserve supplies. Instruments arecalibrated along with plant instruments by the HealthPhysics Section according to HP Procedures which meetthe manufacturers recommendations. Sufficient reservesof instruments and equipment to replace those that areremoved from service for maintenance and/or calibrationare available.Pub ic Alertin S ste

An alerting system to make the public aware of an incidentat Ginna Station which may require protective action ontheir part has been developed and installed. The Ginnaprompt public notification system consists of 96 sirenssupplemented by more than 40 tone alert radios atschools, nursing homes and industrial establishments.The special needs of transient populations at locations,such as motels, parks and work camps will be addressedby utilizing mobile loud speakers and direct facilitynotification. Instructions for transient populationshave been distributed to such locations.The design obgective for this system is to completethe initia'1 alerting of the affected population within thePlume Exposure Pathway within 15 minutes after thenotification of local and state government by theNuclear Facility Operator. The system was designedto assure coverage of essentially. 1004 of the populationwithin the 10 mile Emergency Planning Zone.

The control of the system rests with the County officialswithin their respective borders. Zn Monroe County theCounty Executive has this authority and in Nayne County,it is the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors. RG&Eand the NYS Health Department will make recommendationsto activate the system if necessary.

Sirens and tone alerts are activated by a radio signaland a digital encoding system is employed to insure asecure, reliable control.

A backup transmitter is available in each county foractivating the alert system should the primary transmitterfail. The siren portion of the alert system is designedto produce a minimum 10dB(c) above ambient sound levelsin all portions of the Emergency Planning Zone or aminimum of 70dB at. 100 ft. from the siren base.

The ob)ectives of the Ginna prompt public notificationsystem are two fold: to notify the general public bothindoors and out of the existence 'of an emergency situat»ion, and to provide for the communication of preliminaryemergency information.

Zn conjunction with the alert system, the public will bekept informed of the procedures they should follow if thesystem is activated, .through activation of the EmergencyBroadcast System.

Sample message to. be given over the EBS radio are partof the county procedures. A brochure to be distributedannually provides information regarding the system andappropriate actions to be taken.

Siren reliability will be tested .periodically at 3levels of operation.

1. Bi-weekly silent tests to verify system electroniccomponents are functioning.

2. Quarterly manually activated growl testa.3. Annual full duration audible tests of the entire

system.

Periodic surveys will be taken by the Federal EmergencyManagement Agency to determine any difficulties whichmay recpxire corrective measures.

Alert system operational reliability is expected to begreater than 954. Sirens are powered off the RG&Edistribution system which has better than 99% avail-ability. It is fed from the New York State Power Poolgrid, therefore, it is not dependent on the operation ofGinna. Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation has theresponsibility for maintaining the alert system opera-tive. The location of sirens and tone alert radios isgiven in Appendix I.Fire Protection Facilities:

6.4

The fire protection facilities comprise a number ofautomatic and non-automatic protection systems as wellas assessment and alerting equipment.

Fire protection facilities have been installed in accor-dance with the Ginna Station Technical Specificationsand NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluations. Detectionis provided in all areas of the plant that containvital equipment. The system initiates suppressionsystems and alarms in the Control Room.

Protective Facilities:

6 ~ 4 ~ 1

Aspects of the plant which are provided to serve aprotective function to personnel onsite in the event ofan emergency are described in this section. Theyinclude accident shielding, protective ventilation,emergency condition signaling equipment, reassemblylocations, containment control provisions, and otherprotective equipment and supplies. First aid and medicalfacilities are treated separately in Section 6.5.Acie S e

The containment vessel consists of the 3 ft. - 6 in. thickreinforced concrete cylinder capped by a hemisphericalreinforced concrete dome of' 2 ft. — 6 in. thickness.The shielding includes supplemental shields in front ofthe containment personnel hatch and 20 inch walls, eastand south sides and the roof of the Control Rooa. Theequipment access hatch is shielded by a 3-foot thickconcrete shadow shield and a 1-foot concrete roof toreduce scattered dose levels. Concrete walls andceiling of the Technical Support Center provide shielding.

tective Ventilat o

During normal operation fresh makeup air is admitted tothe Control Room ventilation system through an intakelouvre located in the Turbine Building outside wall; theamount of makeup air varies between, 15 and 100 percentof the unit flow rate, depending on outside air tempera-ture. Pneumatically operated dampers can be positionedfrom the Control Room to isolate the fresh air intakeand to place a separate charcoal filter unit in recircu-lation service.

The charcoal filter unit includes both high efficiencyparticulate air (HEPA) and charcoal filters for removingradioactive particulate and gaseous iodine from theControl Room atmosphere. Its capacity is approximately25 percent of the system flow rate, and the unit isinstalled in a normally isolated bypass circuit. In theevent of high radiation levels in the Control Room, theControl Room radiation monitor will automatically closethe redundant dampers in the fresh air intake duct andthe dampers in the return air duct to the TurbineBuilding, and will open the damper in the charcoalfilter unit inlet duct. This signal will also start aseparate fan to provide flow through the charcoal filterunit.Until radioactivity in the Control Room atmosphere isreduced to a safe level, system flow will be in a closedcycle from the Control Room, with approximately 25percent bypass flow through the charcoal filter unit,through the air conditioning unit and back to theControl Room.,

The dampers can also be positioned to permit fresh airmakeup to the system through the charcoal filter unit.Since all Control Room penetrations including doors aredesigned to high standards of leak tightness and theControl Room is .maintained at essentially atmosphericpressure, the'nfiltration of contaminated air into theControl Room is limited to a very low rate. Nith thecharcoal filter unit, in service, airborne particulateactivity can be cleaned up at an effective rate ofapproximately 5 air changes per hour. In addition,Control Room personnel have access to portable respiratoryequipment.

The Control Room contains sufficient air to permit safeoccupancy by the operating staff for as long as necessarybefore outside air makeup is required for breathing.Bottled air is available.The Technical Support Center has filtered fresh airmakeup, with charcoal filtration, to meet habitabilityrequirements for unlimited occupancy.

e in E me t:Plant personnel are signaled to evacuate at once by aspecial tone, activated manually in the Control Room.In areas where audible signals may not be heard specialflashing lights have been installed. For fire andMedical emergencies, an explicit announcement is madeover the PA system.

eassembl Locat o s:

Several reassembly locations have been established, theselection of which will depend on the conditions of theemergency. Non-operating personnel affected by a localradiation emergency are to report to the DecontaminationArea or the Service Building Lunch Room, depending onthe presence of personal contamination.

In the event of a site evacuation, all Control Roomoperators are to report to the Control Room, the protec-tive features of which are described above. Non-operatingpersonnel are to reassemble at the Ginna Training Center,except for those having a role in the Technical SupportCenter, Operational Support Center or the Survey Centerdescribed in Section 6.1. The Training Center Audit-orium, roughly 600 feet from the Reactor, seats 150people; there is additional room in the classrooms andoffices. A local radiation monitor is installed on theTraining Center which houses the Survey Center to aid inthe evaluation of the necessity for emergency organizationpersonnel to relocate.Contamination Contro Provisio s:

The plant site is divided into two categories, the CleanArea and the Radiation Control Area. Entry to and exitfrom the Radiation Control Area is normally through thedesignated Access Control Point. Any area in whichradioactive materials and radiation are present shall besurveyed, classified, roped and conspicuously postedwith the appropriate radiation caution sign. These thenbecome Radiation Control Areas and proper access isprovided and controlled. Plant procedures provide theradiation or contamination levels at which an area isdeclared, a Radiation Control Area or reaaved fromradiation control status.

This Section provides guidance for the RG&E Headquartersresponse to, and recovery from, an emergency conditionat the Ginna Nuclear Power Plant. In the event of anemergency condition at Ginna, the normal companyheadquarters and the plant organizational structureswill be transformed into an Emergency Response Organi-zation or Emergency Support Organization.

The Company's Emergency Support Organization is chargedwith the responsibility of bringing together a cohesiveCompany management and technical team. This organizationwill be calling upon the maximum resources availablewithin the Company and the entire nuclear industry forthe goals of (1) assuring the safe shutdown and recoveryof Ginna Station following an accident condition and,(2) minimizing the impact of the situation on the healthand safety of the public.The Company's Emergency Support Organization is establish-ed 'under the leadership of a single individual calledthe EOF/Recovery Manager. The EOF/Recovery Manager issupported by various technical and advisory disciplinesincluding Engineering, Facilities and Personnel, NuclearOperations, Public Affairs and System Operations.

This Emergency Support Organization will be available tothe Ginna Station Plant Manager for implementation oflong-term recovery operations. The Ginna Station short-term responding organization is made-up of site personnel,those on-shift and those immediately available from theplant staff complement.

The Nuclear Emergency Response Plan is compatible withthe New York .State and local (Wayne and Monroe Counties)emergency plans. Total emergency response, ia therefore,a combined and coordinated effort involving plant,company, private, local, and State resources.

This portion of the plan provides a mechaniaa by whichthe functions of the station and corporate staffs areimmediately directed to accident termination or mitiga-tion, the determination of offsite"conditions and stationrecovery operations. The plan also provides for obtainingadditional support if the emergency is of such a magnitudethat Company resources are overextended. Such supportmay be additiona'1 manpower'o augment the station'soperating staff, manpower in specialized disciplines, orspecialized emergency response equipment and services.

8.F 1 e ho e andExtensive phone communications capability exists at theRG&E Corporate main office and the 49 East Avenuebuilding. There are presently 600 telephone lines fromthe Corporate main office to the Corporate telephoneexchanges at Front and Andrews Streets (a mile distance).Each one of these lines can have several handsets atdifferent locations sharing a common circuit. The RG&ECorporate System is powered by two redundant AC powersupplies which are backed up with a motor generator andbattery uninterruptible power supply. The Corporatephone system can communicate with the Ginna plant systemover 15 two-way tie lines —9 in the RG&E wholly owned2 GHZ Microwave System —6 in New York Telephone andRochester Telephone facilities. Additional circuits tothe Ginna plant are provided by five outgoing, and fiveincoming lines provided by the New York Telephone System.

A 98 line Centrex System from RTC Central Office to theEOF and Joint News Center is totally separate from theRG&E corporate system.A direct line is connected betweenEOF dose assessment and TSC dose assessment. Also, aGinna Station telephone system line has several drops inthe EOF/Recovery Center.

A radio communications system provides the backup to theGinna phone system. The Control Room has direct contactwith Power Control by radio on a frequency of ~ 53 KHertz. Three other frequencies are available in theControl Room and Technical Support Center for the use ofFire Brigades, Radiation Survey Teams, and PlantSecurity. The use of these channels are explained inSection 6.2.3, Page 66.

The EOF/Recovery Center has access to all channels exceptsecurity and provides monitoring of the Radiation SurveyTeams during an incident.Direct contact between the EOF and the TSC or ControlRoom is possible on the 153.53 K Hertz channel in caseof phone failure.The New York State Radiological Emergency CommunicationsSystem (RECS) has drops at 14 locations across the stateconnecting Ginna Plant, TSC, EOF, 2 Counties and New YorkState Emergency Preparedness centers and State Police.

There is also a network of facsimile machines connectingkey areas as well as telephone paging units for key staffposition persons.

8 ' ' Safety Assessment System and Plant Process ComputerSystem (SAS/PPCS)

The SAS/PPCS computer system at Ginna Station provideshistorical and real time plant information via displaysand hard copy devices that are located in the GinnaControl Room, the Technical Support Center, the EmergencyOperations Facility and the Engineering Support Center.The SAS and PPCS are two independent computer systems.

SAS display information is accessed solely via pushbutton requests. SAS provides the Safety ParameterDisplay System capability. SAS also provides CRT trendsof critical plant parameters.

PPCS display and report information is accessed via analpha-numeric keyboard that supports both menu drivenfunctions and push button requests. PPCS provides thelogging and archival capability.Both computer systems are designed to assist controlroom operators and emergency response personnel in thedecision making process during normal and abnormal plantconditions.

8 ' ' Records Management and AvailabilityAs previously described, all the required records andinformation necessary to support the recovery of theGinna plant in an emergency is available and up-to-dateat the EOF. Specifically, this information is locatedat 49 East Avenue in the Engineering Records Room and theTechnical Information Center (Technical Library). On adaily basis several people maintain these two sources ofinformation in a current status since these centers ofinformation are primary sources of information to boththe Engineering Department and the Ginna plant. Duringan emergency, the responsible managers of these informa-tional sources are assigned to the Technical Supportstaff to insure immediate availability of information.

8 ' and Procedure Ma tena ce

Individuals responsible for various aspects of theseplans and procedures will receive initial training andwill be retrained annually through formal sessions anddrills. The drills will check communication systems,response time, performance of participants, and interre-lations of. the various, emergency centers. Training'rills may'e held prior to any exercises. Exerciseswill be held in conjunction with Ginna Station, New YorkState and local governments as required by regulationsand Technical Specifications. ~

~COVERY

After the initial emergency response actions are concluded(i.e., the plant is in cold shutdown and under control),a decision to begin the recovery phase will be initiated.A number of considerations will enter into this decisionto begin the recovery phase and dismantle the EmergencyResponse Organization. The decision to enter the recoveryphase will be made by the EOF/Recovery Manager inconsultation with his Support Managers, NSARB and onsitepersonnel.

The decision to enter the recovery phase should be basedupon a comprehensive review of station parameters andconditions. These should include, but are 'not limitedto the following:1. Station parameters of operation no long indicate a

potential or actual emergency exists.2. The reactor shutdown conditions are stable.3. The reactor containment building integrity is

sufficient to meet shutdown conditions.4. The release of radioactivity from the station is

controllable and no longer exceeds permissiblelevels, and no danger to the general public fromthe above source(s) is credible.

5. Plant radioactive waste systems and decontaminationfacilities are operable to the extent needed;

6. A reactor heat sink is available and operating.

7 ~

8 ~

Power supplies and electrical equipment needed forthe station to be capable of sustaining itself in along-term shutdown condition are available.The operability and integrity of instrumentation,including radiation monitor equipment needed tomaintain shutdown has been demonstrated.

9. Trained personnel and support services are availablefor station 'entry and cleanup, without workersreceiving an excess of their permissible exposures.

Federal, State and Local authorities shall be advised ofany decisions and resulting changes pertaining to theEmergency Response Organization 'status.


106

Recove Actions

Re-entry of the plant, decontamination, repair, andreturn to operation will be controlled by a generalimplementing procedure which provides for development ofa flexible plan of actions and specifies particularevaluation and planning activities. A recovery organiza-tion to provide long term augmentation of the emergencyorganization has been established. Figure 8.1 showsthis organization by function of those involved. Aprocedure to alert these people and put the EOF/RecoveryCenter into operation is part of our implementing proce-dures.

RG&E personnel are assigned to the Recovery Organizationto fillthe following positions:

EOF/Recovery Manager

Nuclear Operations Manager

Engineering Support. Manager

Advisory Support Manager

Facilities and Personnel Manager

News Center Manager

EOF Dose Assessment Manager

Offsite Agency Liaison

Corporate Spokesperson

Corporate Nuclear Emergency Planner

Each of the aforementioned will have a designatedalternate and a staff assigned to assist in the event ofan accident. The EOF/Recovery Center will be activatedand manned by RG&E personnel within 1 hour after thedecision to establish an off-site recovery organizationhas been made for Site and General Emergencies. ThisOrganization would be available to assist the Plant andthe Emergency Coordinator in the event of an extendedemergency situation. The members of the Recovery Organ-ization will be given appropriate training annually.

In order for the recovery phase to commence, the condi-tions which caused the incident must no longer exist.(See Section 3.0, Emergency Conditions). If the EmergencyCoordinator, on evaluating survey data, finds no readingssignificantly above background, and on consultation withthe Operating Shift Supervisor, determines that theemergen'cy is or was local, personnel. may return to theplant.

If off-site consequences of the occurrence were suchthat off-site support assistance was required, the RG&ENuclear Safety Audit and Review Board and the PlantOperations Review Committee must agree that the site issafe and the plant can be returned to normal operation.

The EOF/Recovery Manager will notify all responseorganizations that recovery operations are underway.

In the recovery phase, all actions will be carefullyplanned by station supervisory personnel in conjunctionwith the Recovery Team, the Technical Support Centerpersonnel and the Plant Operations Review Committee.Planning for recovery will include evaluation'f surveydata, review of exposures incurred, projection of manpowerand equipment needs, and re-entry survey team activities.Actions prescribed upon re-entry include a comprehensivesurvey of the plant to define radiological problemareas. Based on survey results, high radiation areasand areas of contamination will be isolated and posted,and, if possible, portable shielding will be used, asappropriate.

Upon evaluation of plant conditions, further activitiesfor making necessary repairs, decontamination and resto«ration to normal operations will be outlined by thePlant Operations Review Committee in accordance withstandard Health Physics practices. Personnel radiationexposure during the recovery stage of the incident shallbe closely controlled and documented. Individualexposures shall be in accordance with 10CFR20 limits.Corporate management and technical support personnelwill augment the Plant Staff in long tera recoveryoperations.

a) The Employee Relations Department has investi-gated the availability and made preliminary plansfor providing logistics support.

b) Technical Support will be provided by the NuclearEngineering Services Department and consultants underthe direction. of the Department Manager, NuclearEngineering Services.

c) The Sr. Vice President, Production and Engineering,will provide management 'evel interface withgovernment authorities. He will be assisted by theGovernmental Affairs Group.
