Description of Change 1
In order to ensure the safety of the public living in the vicinity of nuclear power plants in the nation, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires licensees to develop and update evacuation times estimates (ETEs) for areas within the emergency planning zone (EPZ). Updates are required following the availability of data from the decennial census (10 years) or when the sensitivity factor for changes in population within the EPZ has been exceeded. This appendix contains information from the ETE update performed in 2012. This update implements the requirements of the revised regulations relevant to ETE updates in accordance with the guidance provided in NUREG/CR-7002, Criteria for Development of Evacuation Time Estimate Studies.

28 Section 5.1.9b.2, 22-Mile EPZ Keyhole Evacuation Comparison Table See Addendum B Section 5.1.9b.2, 22-Mile EPZ Keyhole Evacuation Comparison Table See Addendum B Changed the combination of PAZs for a given wind direction based on elimination of "sliver" consideration.
Corrected PAZ 10 not being included as an affected PAZ for the NNW sector (wind from 327° to <349°).
Replaced Wind From (Sector) column with Affected Sectors column. Wind from sector is inherent to wind from degrees and provides no additional information. Affected sectors data provides information consistent with the method used to determine affected PAZs.
Removed ocean PAR column. Section 5.1.9b.2 is specific to land PAZs. Ocean discussion is provided in 5.1.9b.3. No content is being removed as this information is duplicative of the information in 5.1.9b.3.

Description of Change 29 Section 5.1.9b.3 Ocean PARs are expanded from 5 nautical miles to 10 nautical miles in cases where wind direction is from the land towards the ocean.
Ocean PAR expansion is also based on dose assessment results that show areas over the ocean that could exceed EPA-400 PAGs. This expansion completes the radial evacuation for areas comparable to the land areas that would be evacuated based upon wind direction.
Section 5.1.9b.3 Ocean PARs are expanded from 5 nautical miles to 10 nautical miles based on dose assessment results that show areas over the ocean that could exceed EPA-400 PAGs. This expansion completes the radial evacuation for areas comparable to the land areas that would be evacuated based upon wind direction.
Clarified under what conditions ocean PAR expansion occurs. Initial plant-based PAR for non-RPSA scenarios include PAR to evacuate ocean to 5 NM only. The only PAR changes following that are a result of exceeding PAGs based on dose assessment or field survey results. Wind direction is only a consideration for RPSA scenarios and as an input to dose assessment.
Refer to 10 CFR 50.54(q) effectiveness evaluation 2023-17 for evaluation of the change to the RPSA Ocean PAR strategy.
30 Section 5.1.9b.5 An addition to the DCPP PAR methodology is the administration of KI for the general public in accordance with the SLO County Emergency Response Plan Section 5.1.9b.5 An addition to the DCPP PAR methodology is the administration of KI for the general public per the SLO County Emergency Response Plan.

33 Section 6, DCPP Site Specific PAR Flowchart Refer to Addendum B for full chart Section 6, DCPP Site Specific PAR Flowchart Refer to Addendum B for full chart Changed formatting, punctuation, and capitalization throughout to improve readability based on user feedback.
Changed PAR boxes to include a statement to "Recommend ALL of the following PARs:".
Changed the bulleted items to arrows as bullets are primarily used in other plant procedures to indicate a choice rather than a requirement to perform all.
Spelled out nautical miles to replace the NM acronym throughout.
Reworded "ALL OTHER PAZs - MONITOR AND PREPARE FOR POSSIBLE PROTECTIVE ACTIONS" to "All other PAZs Monitor and Prepare". This is consistent with the language used in the body of Appendix G and on the Emergency Notification Form used to transmit the PAR.
Moved the "continue assessment" step out of the list since it is not a PAR itself. Reworded "continue assessment" to "THEN GO TO BLOCK A to continue assessment" or "THEN continue assessment below", as applicable, to clarify how the user should continue the PAR assessment.
ALL OTHER PAZs - MOOTTOR ANO PR ARE FOR POSSIBLE PflOTECTIVE ACTIONS OR BLQO(,A Recommend ALL of the following PARs:

Emergency Plan Appendix G Revision 5.00 Page 14 of 31 Internal Change Original Content (Rev 4.02)
Revised Content (Rev 5.00)
Description of Change Changed the format of BLOCK A to be consistent in all locations.
Changed the statement "WHEN DOSE ASSESSMENT OR FIELD RESULTS AVAILABLE RETURN / GO TO" to "WHEN Dose Assessment or Field Survey results are available, THEN GO TO". Adding the word Survey is consistent with all other instances in Appendix G. "Return" is not commonly used in DCPP procedures. "GO TO" is the common wording to direct the user to BLOCK A regardless if they have been there in the process previously or not.
Reworded "EVACUATE APPLICABLE PAZ(s)
NOT ALREADY EVACUATED" to "Evacuate applicable PAZ(s) not already designated for evacuation" to align the PAR wording with the decision making wording.
Reworded "ADMINISTER KI PER SLO COUNTY PLAN IN APPLICABLE PAZ(s)" to "Administer KI per SLO County Plan." This is consistent with the body of Appendix G and the Emergency Notification Form. There is no method on the form to differentiate where the Administer KI PAR is made, and the box remains checked as long as any PAR has been made.
Removed the BLOCK B header from the last block in the flowchart. Block B is not referenced in any other part of the chart nor anywhere in Appendix G or EP RB-10.

Description of Change as a trigger for when PARs should be reassessed.
Changed the combination of PAZs for a given wind direction based on elimination of sliver consideration. Changed the Evacuate Ocean PAR for the RPSA scenario to 10 nautical miles for all wind directions to implement the changes to Appendix G described above.
Refer to 10 CFR 50.54(q) effectiveness evaluation 2023-14 for evaluation of the 2022 ETE report.
Refer to 10 CFR 50.54(q) effectiveness evaluation 2023-17 for evaluation of the change to the RPSA Ocean PAR strategy.
Removed Wind Sector column as that information is not useful to the decision maker based on the DCPP site-specific PAR strategy.
Since the PAZs have been preassigned for each range of wind directions, providing the "from" sector will not aid the decision maker in determining the correct PAR. The wind direction provided by the ERO Meteorologist, plant data computers, and electronic notification form is provided in degrees from, rather than wind sector.
Table title change to clarify that the table is only used for rapidly progressing severe accidents.
Spelled out "nautical miles" and "evacuate" to improve the readability of the chart.
Reformatted Note 2 by removing bullets and indenting the "ANDs" to better align with the EAL wallcharts and plant procedures.

Description of Change compound OR to a multiple ANY to list the Table R-1 values to better align with the EAL wallcharts and plant procedures.
Substituted the EAL RG1.1 met for any Table R-1 GE value with the actual Table R-1 GE values. This does not change the intent or interpretation of the RPSA criteria but is rather relocating information from Table R-1 in place of a reference to Table R-1.
Changed "field team results" to "field survey results" to be consistent with other references to field surveys on the wall chart.

PG&E Letter DCL-23-128 PG&E Letter DIL-23-010 Current revision of Emergency Plan Appendix E, Revision 5.00, Evacuation Time Estimates
E-Plan Appendix E - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 1 of 9 Evacuation Time Estimates E-Plan_Appendix_Eu3r00.DOC 0925.1445 Rev 5.00 In order to ensure the safety of the public living in the vicinity of nuclear power plants in the nation, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires licensees to develop and update evacuation times estimates (ETEs) for areas within the emergency planning zone (EPZ). Updates are required following the availability of data from the decennial census (10 years) or when the sensitivity factor for changes in population within the EPZ has been exceeded. This appendix contains information from the ETE update performed in 2022. This update implements the requirements of the revised regulations relevant to ETE updates in accordance with the guidance provided in NUREG/CR-7002, Criteria for Development of Evacuation Time Estimate Studies.
Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) contracted KLD Engineering, P.C to estimate evacuation times for the 20201 populations within the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ)
(reference Figure E-1) surrounding the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP). This appendix provides a summary of the final report describing the methods used to obtain population data and estimated population figures, evacuation road network information, and ETEs.
The report provides a breakdown of the population by geographic areas and protective action zones (PAZ). Five categories of population are identified in the report:
Permanent residents Transient population Transit dependent permanent residents Special facility residents Schools The permanent resident population is made up of individuals residing in the EPZ. The total year 2020 permanent resident populations within the EPZ for DCPP are estimated to be 152,149 (reference Table E-1).
The transient population consists of workers employed within the area, recreational sportsmen, and visitors. The total peak transient population within the EPZ is estimated to be 41,056. Sixty-one schools were identified in the DCPP EPZ. KLD Engineering, P.C. contacted the schools to collect current enrollment, staff figures, and the evacuation plan. The total peak population for the schools in the EPZ is estimated to be 52,804.
Transit dependent permanent residents in the EPZ are estimated to be 1,512. This study also considered the voluntary evacuees, who are also known as shadow evacuees that reside within approximately 20 miles from DCPP. KLD Engineering, P.C. used a computer traffic simulation model, DYNEV II, to perform the ETE analyses. For the analyses, the plume exposure pathway EPZ was divided into 12 zones with unique geographic areas including two-mile, six-mile, and the EPZ radius rings, as well as staged evacuation logic. In order to represent the most realistic emergency scenarios, evacuations for the 12 geographic PAZs were modeled individually for the midweek daytime, midweek - weekend evening, and weekend daytime scenarios. Each of these scenarios was then considered under both normal and adverse weather conditions using the 2020 population estimates. A total of 300 evacuation scenarios were considered as part of this study to represent different time of day, staged evacuation, temporal, seasonal and weather conditions (reference Table E-2).
1 KLD report TR-1235, pages 1-10 contain the population figures provided on this page.
E-Plan Appendix E - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 2 of 9 Evacuation Time Estimates E-Plan_Appendix_Eu3r00.DOC 0925.1445 Rev 5.00 Both 100% (Reference Table E-4) and 90% (Reference Table E-3) ETEs for each scenario were collected. Table E-5 defines each of the 25 Evacuation Regions in terms of their respective groups of PAZ and wind direction, as applicable.
The factors that contributed to the variations in ETEs between scenarios include differences in the number of evacuating vehicles, the capacity of the evacuation routes used, and/or the distance from the origin PAZ to the EPZ boundary.
Based on the data gathered and the results of the evacuation simulations, the existing evacuation strategy was determined to be functional for the 2022 conditions.
Assumptions used in the ETE will be reviewed when evaluating changes to roadways or evacuation networks to ensure the results of the ETE remain valid. Changes in population will be evaluated using the sensitivity factor developed during the ETE analysis.
One special event case and one major road impediment case were also prepared in the ETE as described in the guidance document.
The full Evacuation Time Estimate was submitted for NRC review in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix E. Following the NRC review, the results of the study and recommendations were reviewed with applicable offsite agencies. The review focused upon utilization of the results of ETE evacuation simulations for comparison to existing protective action strategies.

INTRODUCTION In November 2011 the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Supplement 3 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 Rev. 1, Guidance for Protective Action Strategies (here-after referred to as Supplement 3). Supplement 3 was revised using recent technical information to provide an acceptable method to comply with 10 CFR 50 Appendix E Section IV, paragraph 3 in the use of evacuation time estimates (ETEs) in the formulation of Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) for the plume exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ).
Supplement 3 also provides guidance for the provisions of §50.47(b)(10) in the development of a range of PARs.
This appendix contains the considerations and bases for the site specific protective action methodology used within the plume exposure EPZ by Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP). It was developed using the guidance in Supplement 3. The Nuclear Energy Institutes (NEI) 12-10, Appendix A - PAR Strategy Development/Evaluation, was used as a standardized means for documenting the development and bases of the protective action methodology described in this appendix.
As specified by the NRC, licensees may develop and implement alternative methods of compliance with the regulatory guidance in Supplement 3 provided sufficient justification is given to the NRC staff that the proposed alternatives demonstrate compliance with applicable NRC regulations. The site specific protective action methodology for DCPP was developed to comply with the applicable NRC regulations and the intent of the Supplement 3 guidance. Rationale for DCPP site specific considerations and alternate methods to the regulatory guidance in Supplement 3 are documented in applicable sections within this appendix.
As stated in Supplement 3, licensees should develop their site specific strategies, decision tools, and procedures in collaboration with the Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) responsible for protective action decision making. For DCPP, the OROs involved in the development of the PAR methodology described in this appendix included San Luis Obispo County and the State of California. During an event, the full protective action methodology is designed such that the ORO decision makers consider utility issued PARs based on technical data related to plant and radiological conditions. The OROs will also use additional offsite factors, such as impediments, in their determination of a final Protective Action Decision (PAD) for the general public.
Section 5 of this appendix contains the site specific protective action methodology flowchart developed per the guidance of Supplement 3 and modified to support the unique characteristics of the local DCPP EPZ geography, EPZ population, State regulations and ORO commitments. Section 5 also provides a correlation between the Supplement 3 flowchart blocks (as indexed in NEI 12-10) with the site specific PAR development bases for DCPP.

NUREG-0654 SUPPLEMENT 3 GUIDANCE AND DCPP SITE SPECIFIC PAR DEVELOPMENT BASES 2.1 Development of DCPP Site Specific PAR Methodology and Decision Logic 2.1.1 Federal Guidance 10 CFR 50 Appendix E Section IV.D.3 requires licensees to have the capability to notify OROs within 15 minutes of the declaration of an emergency. Additionally,
§50.47(b)(5) requires licensees to establish notification procedures to State and local response organizations that includes the content of initial and follow-up messages and a means to provide early notification and clear instruction to the populace within the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone. In order to meet the above regulation, NUREG-0654 Part II Section E.3 states:
The licensee in conjunction with State and local organizations shall establish the contents of the initial emergency messages to be sent from the plant.
These measures shall contain information about the class of emergency, whether a release is taking place, potentially affected population and areas, and whether protective measures may be necessary.
In accordance with Supplement 3, licensees are responsible for making timely PARs in accordance with regulations, Federal guidance, and plant conditions. Licensees are also responsible for providing PARs to OROs to allow them to make timely and well-informed PADs.
Supplement 3 (Section 2.1) contains the following guidance for development of the site specific PAR and decision logic:
- a.
The Emergency Plan implementing procedures (EPIPs) used by the ERO include a site specific PAR development tool.
- b.
A different tool may be used by the augmented ERO, which may have more resources than the shift organization.
- c.
The PAR must be made rapidly (within 15 minutes), in accordance with approved procedures.
- d.
EPIPs are expected to include a site specific PAR development tool that enables rapid use by the ERO without the initial need to confer with the ORO personnel (in no case does the NRC intend that licensees delay the PAR in order to confer with OROs at the time of a General Emergency declaration).
- e.
EPIPs are developed in partnership with the ORO(s) responsible for protective action decision-making (FEMA and the NRC expect licensees to develop PAR procedures that include ORO input for various decision points).
- 1.
The approved PAR EPIPs constitute the licensee's commitment to OROs to provide PARs immediately upon the declaration of a General Emergency in a manner mutually agreed upon.
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 5 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00
- 2.
In case a responsible ORO chooses not to participate in the development of a site specific PAR development tool consistent with the Supplement 3 guidance, the licensee may use FEMA approved ORO emergency plans and implementing procedures as a basis to develop the necessary decision points.
- 3.
Efforts to achieve licensee and ORO agreement on protective action strategy decision criteria should be documented in a manner that makes the information available for review by the NRC and FEMA.
2.1.2 DCPP Site Specific Bases The Supplement 3 (Section 2.1) guidance is addressed by the DCPP site specific PAR bases as follows:
- a.
The DCPP site specific PAR determination methodology and PAR development tool (referred to hereafter as flowchart) are contained in Emergency Plan implementing procedure EP RB-10.
- b.
The DCPP site specific PAR methodology does not provide different flowcharts for use by the on-shift ERO and the augmented ERO. A single flowchart is used by the on-shift ERO and the augmented ERO.
- c.
The DCPP site specific PAR methodology and flowchart incorporated in EP RB-10 have been designed to provide the capability to rapidly (within 15 minutes) determine the appropriate PAR.
- d.
The DCPP site specific PAR methodology and flowchart incorporated in EP RB-10 have been designed to provide the capability to determine the appropriate PAR without the initial need to confer with ORO personnel at the time of General Emergency declaration.
- e.
The DCPP site specific PAR methodology and flowchart have been developed in partnership with the San Luis Obispo County Office of Emergency Services (SLO OES) and the State of California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES).
- 1.
DCPP's commitment to provide PARs immediately upon the declaration of a General Emergency in a manner mutually agreed upon is documented in this appendix to the DCPP Emergency Plan. This appendix was reviewed and approved by the responsible OROs.
EP RB-10 is the procedure that implements this commitment.
- 2.
The responsible OROs associated with DCPP participated in the development of this site specific PAR determination methodology consistent with Supplement 3 guidance.
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 6 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00
- 3.
Licensee and ORO agreement on the DCPP site specific PAR determination methodology is documented on official DCPP correspondence letters, which are available for review by the NRC and FEMA upon request.
2.2 Notification of PARs at a General Emergency 2.2.1 Federal Guidance Supplement 3 (Section 2.2) contains the following guidance for the notification of PARs at a General Emergency classification level:
- a.
Licensees are required to be able to provide immediate notification (i.e., within 15 minutes) to OROs upon the declaration of a General Emergency.
(
Reference:
10 CFR 50 Part 50 Appendix E Section IV.D.3)
- b.
The General Emergency notification is expected to include a PAR.
(
Reference:
10 CFR 50.47(b)(5), as detailed in NUREG-0654 Part II Section E.3 and NUREG-0654 Appendix 1)
- c.
The PAR must be developed in accordance with the approved Emergency Plan.
- d.
The PAR procedure should be coordinated with OROs.
2.2.2 DCPP Site Specific Bases The Supplement 3 (Section 2.2) guidance for the development of the notification of PARs at a General Emergency classification level is addressed by this DCPP site specific PAR bases as follows:
- a.
The site specific method by which DCPP meets this regulatory requirement for 15-minute ORO event notification is contained in Section 4 of the Emergency Plan. EPIP EP G-3 contains the procedure steps that implement the DCPP Emergency Plan requirement for 15-minute ORO notification.
- b.
The site specific method by which DCPP meets this regulatory requirement is to include a PAR in the notification of a General Emergency as contained in Section 6 of the Emergency Plan. EPIP EP G-3 implements the DCPP Emergency Plan requirement for PAR notification at the General Emergency classification level.
- c.
The SER approved DCPP Emergency Plan is Revision 3, Change 3 dated 03/31/83. Section 4 of this appendix provides the approved DCPP PAR determination methodology that included the concepts of plant-based and dose-based PARs.
- 1.
The approved DCPP Emergency Plan dose-based PAR lower exposure threshold for whole body was based on a value derived from the California statute for annual exposure (0.5 rem whole body), which was half the EPA-520 Protective action Guide (PAG) threshold. Since the time of NRC approval of the DCPP Emergency Plan Revision 3, Change 3, the
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 7 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 EPA PAGs have been revised (EPA/520/1-75-001 was superseded by EPA 400-R-92-001 in October 1991). The current exposure threshold used for dose-based PARs is now appropriately taken directly from the EPA 400-R-92-001 PAG. EPA 400-R-92-001 PAG further states in Section 5.4 (Dose Projection), "The PAGs set forth in Chapter 2 are specified in terms of the effective dose equivalent. This dose includes that due to external gamma exposure of the whole body, as well as the committed effective dose equivalent from inhaled radionuclides." This is referring to the total effective dose equivalent (TEDE), and the thyroid committed dose equivalent (Thyroid CDE). DCPP's PAR based on EPA 400-R-92-001 is 1000 mrem TEDE.
- 2.
The approved DCPP Emergency Plan dose-based PAR lower exposure threshold for thyroid was based on the EPA-520 Protective action Guide (PAG) threshold for child thyroid.
Since the time of NRC approval of the DCPP Emergency Plan Revision 3, Change 3, the EPA PAGs have been revised (EPA/520/1-75-001 was superseded by EPA 400-R-92-001 in October 1991). The current exposure threshold used for dose-based PARs is now appropriately taken directly from the EPA 400-R-92-001. DCPP's PAR based on EPA 400-R-92-001 is 5000 mrem Thyroid CDE.
- 3.
The approved SER DCPP Emergency Plan plant-based PARs were based on a range of protective actions within the Low Population Zone (LPZ) predicated on evaluation of engineered safety features and other plant conditions tied to the NUREG-0654 emergency action level (EAL) scheme. Protective action zones (PAZs) 1 and 2 make up the LPZ.
Since the time of NRC approval of the DCPP Emergency Plan Revision 3, Change 3, the EAL scheme was revised, submitted and approved by the NRC. Plant-based PARs developed in this site specific PAR bases are consistent with the fission product barrier and plant condition terminology provided in the NRC approved DCPP NEI 99-01 EAL scheme.
The DCPP site specific PAR methodology is fundamentally based upon the guidance of Supplement 3 and the methods of the approved Emergency Plan with regard to plant and dose-based evaluation. Plant and dose-based thresholds have been updated to current PAG value units and EAL fission product barrier terminology.
- d.
Refer to Section 2.1.2.e for information regarding PAR coordination with the OROs.
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 8 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 2.3 Termination of Protective Actions 2.3.1 Federal Guidance Supplement 3 (Section 2.3) contains the following guidance for the termination of protective actions:
- a.
Licensees are responsible for declaring a General Emergency and issuing a PAR.
- b.
The licensee is responsible for downgrading or terminating the General Emergency; however, this action should not be taken without wide consultation. Downgrading an emergency may take time to ensure plant conditions will remain safe and to confer with authorities.
- c.
OROs are responsible for terminating offsite protective actions. The licensee provides input on plant status to ORO decision makers.
2.3.2 DCPP Site Specific Bases The Supplement 3 (Section 2.3) guidance for the termination of protective actions is addressed by the DCPP site specific PAR bases as follows:
- a.
Refer to Section 2.2.2.b for information regarding PAR issuance at the General Emergency classification level.
- b.
Event downgrade or termination is not included in the DCPP site specific PAR methodology. Emergency Plan Section 9 and EPIP EP OR-3, Emergency Recovery, require the Emergency Director to obtain concurrence from County, State and NRC authorities prior to terminating from an event at an Alert or higher emergency classification level. DCPP may terminate from the Unusual Event classification level without ORO consultation.
- c.
Supplement 3 guidance does not require the licensee to downgrade PARs. It specifically states that the, "OROs are responsible for termination of offsite protective actions." The DCPP site specific PAR methodology does not include the rescission (or termination) of a PAR once it has been given to the County. This applies both during the declared emergency and the recovery phase of the event.
2.4 Precautionary Protective Actions at the Site Area Emergency Classification Level 2.4.1 Federal Guidance Supplement 3 (Section 2.4) contains the following guidance for precautionary protective actions at Site Area Emergency classification level:
- a.
In some cases, a licensee or ORO may have committed to site specific precautionary actions during the Site Area Emergency, such as the evacuation of beaches or other recreational areas. Licensees should not
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 9 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 interpret Supplement 3 guidance as countermanding any such commitments in licensing-basis documents or in State, Tribal, and local offsite emergency plans and implementing procedures.
2.4.2 DCPP Site Specific Bases The Supplement 3 (Section 2.4) guidance for precautionary actions at the Site Area Emergency classification level is addressed by the DCPP site specific PAR bases as follows:
- a.
The SLO County/Cities Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Response Plan and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) provide the ORO Emergency Services Director with the authority and ability to determine and direct precautionary actions for the public prior to the declaration of a General Emergency.
The SER approved Emergency Plan and current Emergency Plan discuss that consideration of precautionary actions may be appropriate for an Alert or Site Area Emergency classification. Specific actions are not provided for either of those classifications.
Actions considered for an Alert is as follows in the SER approved Emergency Plan and the current Emergency Plan: "Releases at this level would ordinarily not require near-term protective measures, (such as evacuation) beyond the site boundary, although some action within the LPZ (PAZs 1 and 2) might be taken as a precautionary measure if a release near the Technical Specification maximum was actually expected and the potential existed for a release of extended duration or for escalation to a more severe classification."
Actions considered for a Site Area Emergency is as follows in the SER approved Emergency Plan and the current Emergency Plan: "Events in which projected dose assessment results of 100 mRem TEDE or 500 mRem Thyroid CDE at or beyond the site boundary are indicated, for actual or expected releases, would lead to a SITE AREA EMERGENCY classification.
Such a release would almost certainly require that protective measures be taken in the vicinity of the site and may require some precautionary measures to be taken in the downwind LPZ sectors (PAZs 1 and 2). The appropriate near-term response for such an occurrence is to make an assessment of conditions as they actually exist and take action based on this assessment."
Actions considered for a General Emergency is as follows in the SER approved Emergency Plan and the current Emergency Plan: "Lack of available shelter for many of the persons in this area (agricultural workers, visitors to Montana de Oro State Park) makes precautionary evacuation of the LPZ the appropriate response following a declaration of GENERAL EMERGENCY. For areas beyond the LPZ, directing transients to return to their homes, sheltering of permanent residents, and deployment of law enforcement agencies in preparation for possible evacuation are the appropriate responses while actual conditions are assessed."
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 10 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 Discussion with SLO County and the State of California conducted during the development of the DCPP site specific PAR methodology contained within this appendix, determined that PARs that were issued by DCPP prior to the declaration of a General Emergency were not warranted or desired. The OROs expect DCPP to issue PARs based on a technical evaluation of plant and dose-based considerations that meet the definition of the General Emergency classification level.
2.5 Wind Persistence Issues 2.5.1 Federal Guidance Supplement 3 (Section 2.5) contains the following guidance for wind persistence issues:
- a.
It may be appropriate for licensees to perform a wind persistence analysis (the updated final safety analysis may be used) to determine appropriate modifications to a protective action strategy. The modifications may be appropriate for areas where the typical site meteorology includes wind direction shifts on a timescale that is shorter than the ETE for downwind sectors in the 2 to 5-mile radius. This could result in OROs expanding protective actions while an evacuation is in progress as a result of changes in wind direction. Multiple changes in protective action direction may undermine credibility and increase shadow evacuations and thereby increase evacuation times. In such cases, it may be appropriate to include more than three downwind sectors in an expanded evacuation.
2.5.2 DCPP Site Specific Bases The Supplement 3 (Section 2.5) guidance for wind persistence issues is addressed by the DCPP site specific PAR bases as follows:
- a.
A wind persistence study was performed for the DCPP EPZ and is documented in Section 2.2.2 of the Cal OES report titled "Emergency Planning Zones for Serious Nuclear Power Plant Accidents." Applicable wind persistence information includes the following:
The data suggest wind directions approximately parallel to the shoreline have the highest probability for extended continuous periods in which the wind blows in the same direction. For example, there is a 15% probability if the wind blows from the NW, it will continue to blow in that direction (toward the SE) for eight hours or more. In fact, there is a 1% probability when the wind blows from the NW it will blow continuously in that direction for 25 hours2.893519e-4 days <br />0.00694 hours <br />4.133598e-5 weeks <br />9.5125e-6 months <br /> or more. On about four days out of the year the wind can be expected to blow steadily toward the SE for 25 continuous hours or more.
Only the ESE sector approaches the NW sector with respect to the probability of continuous winds for 25 hours2.893519e-4 days <br />0.00694 hours <br />4.133598e-5 weeks <br />9.5125e-6 months <br /> or more. However, the
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 11 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 probability of the wind blowing constantly from the ESE (toward the WNW) is lower initially than the probability of the wind blowing for one hour or more from the NW. Moreover, the probability of extended periods of continuous wind from the ESE falls off more rapidly than the corresponding extended periods of continuous winds from the NW. It can be seen that the probability of the wind blowing from the ESE for more than eight hours is less than 1%. It should also be observed that when the wind blows toward the WNW, it is simply blowing out to sea.
In most sectors, there is less than a 1% chance that the wind will blow continuously for more than three hours in the indicated direction. Thus, with the exception of the NW sector, the probability of the wind blowing constantly in any given direction in the vicinity of Diablo Canyon for extensive periods (of the order of one day) is very small.
Refer to Section 3 for information regarding the origin and licensing basis of the DCPP site specific EPZ boundary and the Protective Action Zones (PAZ) within the EPZ.
Although a wind persistence study for the DCPP EPZ was done, this is not applicable for use in the PAR methodology described in this appendix. DCPP does not use map sectors to make PARs but uses PAZs. PAZs 1 and 2 encompass the areas 0 to 6 miles surrounding DCPP. PAZs 1 and 2 represent the land area within the generic 5-mile EPZ area. PAZ 1 is equivalent to the land area within the 2-mile generic EPZ and PAZ 2 is equivalent to the land area within the 2 to 5-mile generic EPZ (approximately 6 miles for DCPP).
ETE values are taken from KLD TR-1235 Table 7.1, Time to Clear the Indicated Area of 90 Percent of the Affected Population. Per Supplement 3, ETE values for special events and roadway impact are not included. The longest ETE for PAZs 1 and 2 (90% population scenarios 8 and 9: Winter, Weekend, Midday, Good Weather and Rain) is 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> 45 minutes. Using a maximum wind persistence assumption of 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> and the longest ETE for the combination of PAZ 1 and PAZ 2 of 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> 45 minutes, a modification to the protective action strategy to include additional downwind PAZs in an expanded evacuation would not be warranted for DCPP.
PAZ 1 permanent and transient populations are 0. PAZ 2 permanent population is 160 and the transient population is 870 (ETE Report Tables 3.1 and 3.4 -
reference 7.7). Based on the remote geography and limited population of PAZs 1 and 2, these areas are always recommended to evacuate or shelter simultaneously. Even if the ETE were to exceed the maximum wind persistence assumption of 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> the DCPP site specific PAZ equivalent to the 2-5 mile area (PAZ 2) is not divided into multiple geographic areas, therefore wind persistence is not applicable in the 2-5 mile area for DCPP.
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 12 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 2.6 Expansion of Initial Protective Action Recommendations 2.6.1 Federal Guidance Supplement 3 (Section 2.6) contains the following guidance for expansion of initial PARs:
- a.
The emergency action level scheme used at nuclear power plants is designed to be anticipatory. A General Emergency is expected to be declared, based on plant conditions, before a radiological release could potentially begin.
- b.
Licensees will perform radiological assessments throughout the emergency and will recommend to OROs the need to take or expand protective actions if dose projections show that protective action criteria could be exceeded.
- c.
Dose projections based on effluent monitor data and verified by field monitoring data would provide the strongest basis for a PAR; however, effluent monitor data alone can be sufficient if other data (e.g., plant conditions, area or process monitors) verify the occurrence of a radiological release. Although verification of dose projection data is desirable, the licensee should not delay PARs unduly while waiting for field monitoring data or sample analysis.
- d.
A more difficult case for dose assessment is a scenario with a large radiological source term in containment and a leak rate at or near the design basis. This is clearly a General Emergency and an initial PAR is expected. As subsequent PARs are implemented, the issue of expansion of protective actions beyond the 5-mile downwind sectors can arise. When expansion of a PAR is considered under this scenario, the condition of containment must be assessed.
- e.
Changes in wind direction may indicate that if a release begins, it would affect different downwind sectors. If the licensee believes containment may fail, it should pursue the expansion of PARs.
- f.
If a radiological assessment shows an ongoing release or containment source term is not sufficient to cause exposures in excess of EPA PAGs, licensees should not expand PARs based only on changes in wind direction.
2.6.2 DCPP Site Specific Bases The Supplement 3 (Section 2.6) guidance for expansion of initial PARs is addressed by the DCPP site specific PAR bases as follows:
- a.
Event declaration and PAR determination are separate planning standards and processes at DCPP. The approved DCPP EAL scheme is based on the industry standard template of NEI 99-01 and contains both plant condition and radiological release EAL thresholds at the General Emergency classification level, which can be met concurrently.
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 13 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00
- b.
The DCPP site specific PAR methodology includes consideration of radiological release dose assessment results based upon exceeding EPA-400 PAG threshold values. The DCPP dose assessment process provides for continuous monitoring of a radiological release throughout an event. The need to make or expand a PAR for a particular PAZ based on dose assessment or field survey results indicating a PAG could be exceeded is part of the DCPP site specific PAR methodology.
- c.
The DCPP site specific PAR methodology uses dose projections based upon effluent monitor data that is verified by field monitoring data, but does not delay PAR determination while waiting for field monitoring data or sample results. However, when field monitoring data or sample analysis results are available, dose assessment personnel compare the available information to the dose projections to check for alignment.
- d.
The DCPP site specific PAR methodology has a continuation loop that progresses through both plant and dose-based evaluations when determining whether expansion of PARs is necessary (additional PARs for the PAZs from 6 miles out to the EPZ boundary). The plant-based evaluation includes thresholds for condition of containment.
- e.
The DCPP site specific PAR methodology includes plant-based thresholds for condition of containment that when met, indicate a loss or potential loss of containment integrity. Changes in wind direction are evaluated in conjunction with condition of containment thresholds such that expansion of PARs based upon an imminent or actual containment failure would be based on known plant conditions.
- f.
The DCPP site specific PAR methodology does not include an expansion of PARs based only on changes in wind direction. Only when dose assessment results or field survey results indicate the potential for exceeding an EPA PAG in a new PAZ or area over the Ocean is an expansion of PARs considered.
NRC EP FAQ 2013-004, Question 6 addresses complexities that may arise for decision-makers regarding wind direction and potential containment failure; shelter-in
-place and staged evacuation considerations. Most of these considerations are not applicable to the DCPP site specific PAR methodology. The process for expanding PARs conforms to the guidance in the EP FAQ in that the DCPP protective action strategy minimizes demands upon on-shift decision-makers and eliminates unnecessary PARs.
NRC EP FAQ 2013-004, Question 7 states if there is a wind shift when the control room has command and control, then plant conditions can be used as a basis for expanding the PAR to a new sector. The DCPP PAR methodology maintains the initial PAR of evacuation of PAZ 1 and PAZ 2 (to 6-miles in radius), evacuation of the ocean for a 5 nautical mile radius, administration of KI per the County plan, and monitor and prepare for all other PAZs. This recommendation will remain in effect until results from dose assessment or field monitoring indicate a new PAZ, or areas over the ocean, exceeding EPA PAGs.
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 14 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 NRC EP FAQ 2013-004, Question 8 addresses diurnal (variation within the course of a day) wind shifts or passage of storm fronts resulting in extreme wind shifts. The NRC response to Question 8 states, " this consideration need not be included in the control room protective action strategy because the combination of the General Emergency and the extreme weather is unlikely." The DCPP PAR methodology maintains dose assessment capability in the control room and augmented emergency response organization throughout the course of the emergency to include current weather conditions and wind direction. The DCPP PAR methodology includes consideration for PAR expansion based upon the dose assessment and field monitoring results.
2.7 Strategy for Rapidly Progressing Scenarios 2.7.1 Federal Guidance Supplement 3 (Section 2.7) contains the following guidance for rapidly progressing scenarios:
- a.
The emergency preparedness planning basis includes rapidly progressing scenarios that have a significant radioactive release in about 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />.
- 1.
For sites at which the 90-percent ETE for the general public of the full EPZ is less than approximately 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />, results showed that, for the rapidly progressing scenario, evacuation is the most appropriate protective action.
- 2.
For sites where this is not the case, the protective actions listed in the table below are most beneficial, unless impediments exist to their implementation.
- 3.
Where evacuation cannot be accomplished in the time specified, a recommendation for shelter in place (SIP) until the plume has passed is more beneficial.
Zone Protective Action 0 to 2 mile If the 90-percent ETE for this area is 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> or less, immediately evacuate.
2 to 5 mile If the 90-percent ETE for this area is 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> or less, immediately evacuate.
5 to 10 mile SIP, then evacuate when it is safe to do so.
- b.
The evacuation tail generally represents the last 10 percent of the population and describes the population that takes a disproportionately longer time to evacuate than the remaining public. Planning is in place to evacuate 100 percent of the public; however, PARs and decisions should be based on the 90-percent ETE values.
- c.
Licensees may perform a site specific analysis to determine whether other criteria are more appropriate.
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 15 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00
- d.
Extreme weather conditions, such as inversion, significant precipitation, or no wind, can change the efficacy of SIP and make evacuation the preferred protective action.
2.7.2 DCPP Site Specific Bases The Supplement 3 (Section 2.7) guidance for rapidly progressing scenarios is addressed by the DCPP site specific PAR bases as follows:
Refer to Section 3 for information regarding the origin and licensing basis of the DCPP site specific EPZ boundary and the PAZs within the EPZ.
- a.
The DCPP plume exposure EPZ was established by the State of California and SLO County. The DCPP EPZ was originally divided into two sub-zones, the Basic EPZ (from 0 to approximately 10 miles) and the Extended EPZ (from approximately 10 to 22 miles). For the DCPP site specific EPZ:
The 0 - 2 mile land area is covered entirely by PAZ 1.
The 2 - 6 mile land area is covered entirely by PAZ 2.
The 6 - 10 mile land area is divided into three PAZs (3, 4 and 5).
The 10 - 22 mile land area is divided into seven PAZs (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12).
The ocean area associated with the DCPP PAR methodology is divided into three regions: 5 nautical mile radius, 10 nautical mile radius, and beyond 10 nautical miles. The distance appropriate to the PAR is based upon wind direction or projected offsite dose projections, in the case of areas beyond the EPZ.
ETE values are taken from KLD TR-1235 Table 7.1, Time to Clear the Indicated Area of 90 Percent of the Affected Population. Per Supplement 3, ETE values for special events and roadway impact are not included.
- 1.
The longest 90% ETE for evacuation of the Basic EPZ (PAZs 1 - 5),
which is the area out to approximately 10 miles, is 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> 15 minutes.
The longest 90% ETE for evacuation of the entire EPZ (PAZs 1 - 12),
which is the area out to approximately 22 miles, is 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> 05 minutes.
The Basic EPZ (PAZs 1-5) is very close to the 3-hour guidance with a worst case time of 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> 15 minutes. Eight out of the ten 90% ETE scenario times shown in the tables below for the Basic EPZ are 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> or less. Therefore, evacuation is selected as the more appropriate protective action for a rapidly progressing scenario.
PARs for areas beyond 10 miles are based upon dose assessment or field survey results.

The DCPP site specific ETEs fit closest to this section of the Supplement 3 guidance for rapidly progressing scenarios.
0 to 2 mile Zone PAZ 1 is equivalent to the land area within the 2 mile generic EPZ. The 90% ETE for PAZ 1 is 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> for all scenarios.
Since the 90% ETE for this area is less than 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> the appropriate PAR is to evacuate PAZ 1.
2 to 5 mile Zone PAZ 2 is equivalent to the land area within the 2 to 5 mile generic EPZ.
However, PAZs 1 and 2 are always recommended to evacuate simultaneously (Refer to Section 2.5.2.a).
The longest 90% ETE for PAZs 1 and 2 is 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> 45 minutes.
Since the 90% ETE for PAZs 1 and 2 is less than 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> the appropriate PAR is to evacuate PAZs 1 and 2.
5 to 10 mile Zone Supplement 3 provides generic guidance to initially SIP the 5 to 10 mile areas and then evacuate them when it is safe to do so. Staged evacuations of the DCPP PAZ combinations in the 6 mile radius and 10 miles downwind take longer than a simultaneous evacuation of those PAZs for the 90% ETE population in each of the applicable scenarios.
The differences are relatively short being within about one half hour.
Thus, the benefits of the Supplement 3 guidance to SIP the downwind PAZs in the 6 to 10 mile area prior to a staged evacuation are not greater than the plant uncertainties for such an event, the complication of implementing the action for the public or the potential dose avoided. The appropriate DCPP site specific PAR in this case is to evacuate the downwind PAZs in the 6 to 10 mile area. This is supported by the 90%
ETE with a "worst case" evacuation time of 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> and 15 minutes.

For wind directions where the affected sector or adjacent sectors contain areas of the ocean or a protective action zone with an ocean harbor, the recommended action is to evacuate to the distance of 10 nautical miles.
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 18 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 Impediment Considerations during a Rapidly Progressing Scenario Due to the potential radiological consequences of the rapidly progressing scenario, the uncertainty for further degradation of plant conditions and the urgency of the incident, the DCPP site specific PAR methodology does not take impediments into consideration for this type of event. The OROs may independently consider the impact of impediments during the PAD process.
- 3.
Since the DCPP site specific evacuation can be accomplished in the time specified, a recommendation to SIP the affected areas within 0 to 10 miles until the plume has passed is not determined to be more beneficial.
- b.
The ETEs used in the development of the DCPP site specific PAR methodology are based on the 90% population values, excluding the special event and roadway impact scenarios.
- c.
Refer to Section 2.7.2a.2 above regarding the site specific analysis used as the basis and justification for not initially recommending SIP followed by a staged evacuation of the DCPP PAZs in the 5 to 10 mile area during a rapidly progressing scenario.
- d.
Since SIP of the PAZs in the 0 to 10 mile area is not part of the DCPP site specific PAR methodology, consideration of extreme weather conditions that would warrant evacuation over SIP are not necessary. The County of SLO and DCPP have made an agreement that the County of SLO will be responsible for making determinations concerning impediments to evacuation.
Based on this agreement, DCPP doesn't consider impediments prior to determining a PAR.
NRC EP FAQ 2013-004, Question 1 and NRC final response regarding the definition of "rapidly progressing severe accident" does not affect DCPP bases addressing Supplement 3, Section 2.7. The DCPP protective action strategy bases are aligned with the NRC final response to Question 1.

BASIS OF THE DCPP PLUME EXPOSURE PATHWAY EMERGENCY PLANNING ZONE (EPZ)
California State legislation, Section 8610.5 of the Government Code (SB-1183), required a study be conducted by the State Office of Emergency Services (OES) to analyze the consequences of hypothetical serious nuclear power plant accidents.
The study was conducted and subsequent report issued in accordance with the State legislative regulation and contained recommended site specific EPZ boundaries for the nuclear power stations in California. The plume exposure EPZ was defined by two major sub-zones in Section 4.1.3 of the report as follows:
The direct or plume exposure zone has been divided into two sub-zones with somewhat different planning and emergency preparedness requirements -- the Basic EPZ and the Extended EPZ. Within the Basic EPZ, a circular zone of approximately 10 mile radius, the principal objective would be to avoid public exposure to very large
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 19 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 radiation doses and planning for a full range of protective actions, including the capability for total evacuation, should time permit, is necessary. As will be shown subsequently, a radius of about 10 miles will provide protection against early deaths for all but the most extreme of the major containment failure accidents. Moreover, protective measures taken within the approximately ten mile Basic EPZ would provide protection against any significant exposure to the public within the zone for the most probable serious nuclear accidents. For accidents of this classification, a 99% (or greater) probability exists that exposures will not exceed 0.5 rem beyond the 10 mile zone perimeter. Thus essentially no protection would be needed beyond the Basic EPZ for accidents in the Melt-through classification. For such accidents, evacuation and/or sheltering and relocation would be used to reduce population risks to nominal levels within this zone.
.. because the consequences of the more severe accidents (PWR 1-5) could be so great, OES believes it is prudent to develop specific plans beyond the Basic EPZ.
Directions with higher than average wind probabilities must be given special consideration. Therefore, Extended EPZs have been established in these directions for protection of the public downwind from the plants. Within the Extended EPZs plans will be developed for a range of protective actions to include evacuation and/or shelter followed by relocation of the population from any contaminated areas after an accident. As part of the planning process, State and local officials will work together to determine the most appropriate protective actions and warning systems for each area and segment of the population within the Extended EPZ.
The California EPZ characteristics are similar in principal to those of the NRC.
However, the current NRC requirements call for specific planning efforts only within a zone approximately equivalent to the Basic EPZ California is now requiring. Beyond this distance, the NRC has suggested that for more serious accidents protective actions should be implemented on an ad hoc basis in accordance with the real time requirements of a given accident. The principal difference between the California and the NRC requirements is that the OES believes that specific advance planning should also be done to take into account the possible effects of the more serious accidents --
effects which could extend beyond the Basic EPZ. The more serious accidents make up about 10% to 20% of all core-melt accidents. The OES feels that this relative probability is too large to be dealt with in an entirely impromptu fashion. Thus, the OES requires plans be prepared in advance for responding to such accidents, though the criteria for response are not identical to those of the less severe, but more probable accidents.
The report developed the site specific EPZ boundaries in consultation with the State Department of Health Services and the counties in the vicinities of the reactors which were shown to be affected by the hypothesized accidents. From Section 4.2.1:
To simplify control of areas within the zones and notification of the public via the Emergency Broadcast System should it ever become necessary, where possible, specific landmarks, e.g., roads, rivers and lakes, city limits and County boundaries, were used as zone boundaries. Based on the technical dose-distance, dose contour and meteorological data, specific recommendations from the counties determined which landmarks were used to bound the EPZs. Recognizing the uncertainties in the technical data and year-to-year and seasonal variations in meteorology, a reasonable amount of leeway was allowed in the boundary choices.
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 20 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 For PWR's, the Basic EPZ has a minimum radius of 10 miles and specific boundaries as recommended by the affected counties. Extended EPZ's have minimum radii of approximately 18 to 20 miles -- a distance corresponding to the 25 rem downwind distance for a penetration leakage accident at the reactor sites.
Consideration was given to wind directional probabilities, wind persistence, and to "worst-case trajectories" encompassing those wind directions and meteorological conditions that would carry a radioactive cloud over large population centers and result in high radiation doses if a major release occurred.

E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 22 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 The current State of California Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Response Plan (dated 2019) provides the following basis for the DCPP EPZ and PAZ boundaries:
Emergency Planning Zones (EPZs)
The federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has established requirements for evacuation planning for a 10 mile radius around each nuclear power plant, referred to as the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). The NRC also required planning to approximately 50 miles from the plants to prevent ingestion of contaminated food in the event of a release from a nuclear power plant, referred to as the Ingestion Pathway Zone (IPZ). The State has expanded the EPZ beyond the federal requirements for each nuclear power plant in California.
In addition to the NRC-required zones, the State has established a Public Education Zone (PEZ), which extends from the EPZ boundary to a range of 20 to 35 miles around each plant. The PEZ ensures that residents outside the EPZ are advised of planned emergency activities within the EPZ.
These zones are discussed in the Science Applications, Inc., June 23, 1980, report, "A Study of Postulated Accidents at California Nuclear Power Plants" and the State of California report, November 1980, "Emergency Planning Zones for Serious Nuclear Power Plant Accidents."
Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) EPZ The State expanded the DCPP EPZ so that it is much larger than the EPZ defined by the federal government. The expanded EPZ defined by the State is divided into twelve smaller Protective Action Zones (PAZs). PAZs 1 through 5 correspond to the ten-mile area where FEMA has primary oversight responsibilities for emergency planning. The State has primary oversight responsibilities for PAZs 6 through 12, outside of the ten-mile area. Residents in PAZs 1 through 12 may be asked to take protective actions, such as take shelter in their homes or evacuate if there is a major emergency.
Surrounding the twelve PAZs are three zones known as Public Education Zones (PEZs). Resident in these areas are not likely to be affected by an emergency at the power plant. However, since residents in the PEZs (zones 13 through 15) are next to the EPZ, general information about DCPP is provided to those residents.
The Emergency Planning Zone at DCPP (Figure 1.4.2) includes the cities of Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo; the "five cities area" (Grover Beach, Pismo Beach, Shell Beach, Oceano, and Arroyo Grande); and the communities of Baywood / Los Osos.
The PEZ (Figure 1.4.3) extends approximately 35 miles southeast (the predominant wind direction from the plant). The Ingestion Pathway Zone around the Diablo Canyon Power Plant is approximately 50 miles and includes portions of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Monterey Counties, as shown in Figure 1.4.4.

E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 24 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 Section 3.1 of the current SLO County/Cities Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Response Plan (2022) provides the following basis for the DCPP EPZ and PAZ boundaries:
Emergency Planning Zones Technical experts and government agencies have worked to develop nuclear power plant emergency response plans for all of the nuclear power plants in the United States. As part of this planning, the areas around the plants are divided into planning zones. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Environmental Protection Agency have determined that a federally defined Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) for the plume exposure pathway should be an area that is roughly a 10 mile circle around the nuclear power plant and an approximate 50 mile radius limit for the Ingestion Pathway Zone (IPZ). The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has oversight responsibilities for San Luis Obispo County's emergency plans within this approximate 10 mile area. FEMA also has oversight responsibilities for the California Department of Public Health emergency plans within the 50 mile IPZ radius.
The State of California adopted San Luis Obispo County's recommendations to expand the Diablo Canyon Emergency Planning Zone so that it is much larger than the 10 mile radius EPZ defined by the federal government. The State of California's Office of Emergency Services has oversight responsibilities for the expanded EPZ beyond the 10 mile area.
Federal Emergency Planning Zones NRC/FEMA have established a 10 mile radius limit for the plume exposure pathway EPZ and an approximate 50 mile radius limit for the IPZ. Figure 3.1.1 illustrates the NRC/FEMA 10 mile EPZ boundary and Figure 3-1.2 illustrates the defined 50 mile IPZ boundary in 22.5 -degree sectors.
State Emergency Planning Zones Based upon an extensive study [A Study of Postulated Accidents of California Nuclear Power Plants, Prepared for the State of California, OES by Science Applications, Inc., July, 1980], the State designated two zones associated with the Diablo Canyon Power Plant, the EPZ and the Public Education Zone (PEZ). Both are illustrated in Figure 3-2. The PEZ continues across the county boundary to include an area of northern Santa Barbara County.
As described earlier, Figure 3.1.2 illustrates the 50 mile radius IPZ, which includes four total counties (San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Monterey and Kern Counties). A summary description of the State study and process of selection of emergency planning zones is given in "Emergency Planning Zones for Serious Nuclear Power Plant Accidents," State of California Office of Emergency Services, November, 1980.
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 25 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 County Planning As noted above, the State planning zones form a basis for County planning. The expanded EPZ defined by the State is divided into 12 Protective Action Zones.
PAZs 1 - 5 correspond to the approximate ten mile Federal emergency planning area.
PAZs 6 - 12 are outside the ten mile area.
Having 12 PAZs improve the managing of detailed planning and implementing the protective measures in areas smaller than the entire EPZ.
Surrounding the 12 PAZs are three zones known as Public Education Zones (PEZs).
Residents in these areas (zones 13 - 15) are outside but immediately adjacent to the EPZ. The PEZ was established to ensure general information about Diablo Canyon is provided to residents and businesses surrounding the PAZs.
PAZs and PEZs are described in Table 3.1 (sheet 1 and 2), and shown in Figure 3.2.
The PAZs may be arranged into four groups of generally increasing distance from the plant.
PAZ 1: 2-mile radius PAZ 2: 6-mile radius PAZs 3-5: Approximately 9 to 10 mile radius - Primary federal oversight areas of PAZs 1-5 PAZs 6-12: Balance of State Basic Emergency Planning Zones - State primary oversight PEZs 13-15: Public Education Zone - Area where public education materials are provided. Any emergency protective actions would be on an ad hoc basis.

APPROVED DCPP EMERGENCY PLAN PAR DETERMINATION METHODOLOGY The DCPP SER Emergency Plan Rev 3, Change 3 established that the Site Emergency Coordinator developed the applicable protective actions based on the following criteria (Section 6.3.4.2):
4.1 Criteria Based Upon Nature of Emergency (Plant-Based PARs)
During a LOCA, evacuation of some or all of the persons within the LPZ may be recommended for any General Emergency situation regardless of whether or not any radioactive materials have been released from the plant.
Specific plant conditions with associated PARs were provided in Section 6.2.1 as follows:
Loss of Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) (Section 6.2.1.1)
If there is a failure of ESF with no signs of inadequate core cooling, then evacuate the transient population in the LPZ (PAZs 1 and 2), shelter the permanent population in the LPZ and shelter the remainder of the basic EPZ.
If there is a failure of ESF coupled with any signs of inadequate core cooling or loss of containment integrity, then evacuate the LPZ (PAZs 1 and 2) with preferential action taken in the downwind direction, and shelter the remainder of the basic EPZ.
Loss of Containment Isolation (Section 6.2.1.2)
If there is a failure of containment isolation with no signs of inadequate core cooling, then evacuate the transient population in the LPZ (PAZs 1 and 2) and shelter the remainder of the basic EPZ.
If there is a failure of containment isolation coupled with any signs of inadequate core cooling or loss of containment integrity, then evacuate the LPZ (PAZs 1 and 2).
Containment Pressure above Design Pressure (Section 6.2.1.3)
If containment pressure exceeds maximum allowable containment pressure as a function of earthquake strength curve, then evacuate the transient population in the LPZ (PAZs 1 and 2) and shelter the remainder of the basic EPZ.
Containment Radiation Levels (Refer to Section 6.2.1.4)
If containment radiation level exceeds the 100% gap release curve, then evacuate the LPZ (PAZs 1 and 2) and shelter the remainder of the basic EPZ.
Inadequate Core Cooling (Refer to Section 6.2.1.5)
If inadequate core cooling conditions exist, then evacuate the LPZ (PAZs 1 and 2) and shelter the remainder of the basic EPZ.
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 29 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 4.2 Criteria Based Upon Public Exposure (Dose-Based PARs)
Insofar as possible, evacuation of members of the general population should be carried out to prevent persons from receiving doses in excess of those listed in Table 6.3-2. Specific dose conditions with associated PARs were provided in Table 6.3-2 as follows:
If the projected whole body dose is 0.5 to 5 rem or thyroid dose is 5 to 25 rem, then consider evacuation unless constraints make it impractical (shelter as a minimum).
If the projected whole body dose is 5 rem or thyroid dose is 25 rem, then conduct mandatory evacuation (shelter is an alternative if evacuation cannot be promptly accomplished).
The lower action threshold of 0.5 rem deviated from the NRC prescribed EPA-520 guidance.
The DCPP SER approved Emergency Plan justification for this deviation identified it as being based upon guidance from the State of California. The SLO County Emergency Response Plan provides the following additional basis information:
Both California and the Federal government have established standards for radiation exposure. California standards are typically more stringent. The limits adopted in this section generally follow the more restrictive State statutes contained in the California Administrative Code, Title 17, Health and are taken from the State Plan.
The DCPP SER approved Emergency Plan did not include criteria describing how it was determined whether constraints were applicable.

Supplement 3 Development Guidance (Supplement 3 Attachment A Note 1; NRC EP FAQ 2013-004 Question 1)
A rapidly progressing severe accident is a General Emergency with rapid loss of containment integrity (emergency action levels indicate containment barrier loss) and loss of ability to cool the core. This path is used for scenarios in which containment integrity can be determined as bypassed or immediately lost during a GE with core damage. If this scenario cannot be immediately confirmed, assume it is not taking place and answer "no" to this decision block.
Supplement 3 Section 2.7 states "The emergency preparedness planning basis includes rapidly progressing scenarios that have a significant radioactive release in about 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />."
- b.
DCPP Site specific Bases The DCPP site specific definition of a Rapidly Progressing Severe Accident is as follows:
- 1.
A Rapidly Progressing Severe Accident is occurring if ALL the following are present:
A General Emergency was declared AND Initial PAR AND Any EAL Table F-1 Containment Barrier Loss AND ANY of the following:
Radiation Monitor 30/31 > 5000 R/Hour EAL RG1.1 met for RM-87 > 1.9E-10 amps EAL RG1.1 met for RM-87 > 3.2E-1 µCi/cc
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 32 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 The selection of the DCPP site specific thresholds representing a rapidly progressing severe accident are based on indications readily available to operators and consistent with established EAL thresholds for simultaneous loss of containment, core cooling and fuel clad. Radiation Monitor 30/31 value of > 5000 R/hour is indicative of a loss of fuel clad and also indicates loss of the reactor coolant system (RCS) boundary in the fission product barrier matrix. The EAL RG1.1 threshold for any Table R-1 GE value with a Containment Loss criterion from the Fission Product Barrier Matrix is included to address a condition that bypasses containment. The ERO is trained and qualified to assess these EAL threshold values.
A second decision block was added to determine whether the PAR is the Initial PAR for a General Emergency consistent with clarification from NRC EP FAQ 2013-004, response to Question 1. The response states in part: "This protective action recommendation is the first after a General Emergency has been declared."
5.1.3 Block G: Rapidly Progressing Severe Accident Scenario PAR Determination
- a.
Supplement 3 Development Guidance (Supplement 3 Attachment A Notes 4, 5 and 9)
- 1.
The licensee should issue an evacuation PAR in scenarios for which the time to evacuate 90% of the population within a 2-mile radius is 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> or less. If the ETE is longer, the licensee should recommend SIP (applies to Note 9).
- 2.
The licensee should consider TD for a daytime ETE and TN for a nighttime ETE (applies to Note 9).
- 3.
The licensee should issue an evacuation PAR in scenarios for which the 2-to 5-mile downwind sector evacuation time for 90% completion is 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> or less. If the ETE is longer, the licensee should recommend SIP (applies to Note 9).
- 4.
For all cases, the licensee should recommend SIP for the 5-to 10-mile downwind sectors. Licensees may perform an analysis to determine site specific ETE criteria instead of using this generic guidance (applies to Note 9).
- 5.
To the extent practical and recognizing the urgency of the incident, impediments may be considered. The existence of impediments could change the most effective PAR from evacuation to SIP (applies to Note 9).
- 6.
The ETE values should be representative for the site and should not include special events (applies to Note 9).
- 7.
Extreme weather conditions, such as inversion, significant precipitation, or no wind, can change the efficacy of SIP and make evacuation the preferred protective action (applies to Note 9).
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 33 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00
- 8.
Downwind sectors include a downwind 22.5-degree compass sector(s) and adjacent sectors. Generally, the downwind sectors involve three or four sectors and include all the emergency response planning areas impacted in that area (applies to Note 4).
- 9.
Site specific wind persistence information may indicate the need to include additional sectors with the initial recommendation. However, the licensee should discuss this element with responsible OROs to determine whether expanded initial protective actions are appropriate or desirable.
The size of emergency response planning areas may determine whether there is a site specific need for this contingency (applies to Note 4).
- 10. The instruction to monitor and prepare is intended to engage the population within the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone, inform them of the emergency, and advise them that they should monitor the situation and prepare for the possibility of evacuation, SIP, or other protective actions (applies to Note 5).
- b.
DCPP Site Specific Bases The DCPP site specific PAR for Block G is to:
Evacuate PAZs 1 and 2 and all downwind PAZs to 10 miles Administer KI per SLO County Plan Evacuate the Ocean to 10 nautical miles All other PAZs monitor and prepare.
See discussion in Section 5.2 of this appendix for more information about Ocean PARs.
- 1.
PAZ 1 is equivalent to the land area within the 2 mile generic EPZ. Since the 90% ETE for PAZ 1 is less than 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> the appropriate PAR is to evacuate PAZ 1 (refer to Section 2.7.2).
- 2.
The ETE scenarios used to determine the appropriate actions for a rapidly progressing severe accident scenario included daytime and nighttime periods (refer to Section 2.7.2).
- 3.
PAZ 2 is more than equivalent to the land area within the 2 to 5 mile generic EPZ. PAZ 2 goes out to 6 miles. PAZs 1 and 2 are always recommended to evacuate simultaneously. Since the 90% ETE for PAZs 1 and 2 is less than 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> the appropriate PAR is to evacuate PAZs 1 and 2 (refer to Section 2.7.2).
NRC EP FAQ 2013-004, Question 3 and NRC final response does not affect how the DCPP site specific PAR methodology addresses Supplement 3, Note 9. The question pertains to evacuation time considerations for the 0 - 2 mile (PAZ 1) and 0 - 6 mile (PAZ 2) zones.
PAZs 1 and 2 are evacuated during a rapidly progressing severe accident; consequently the variation of wind direction is not applicable to the DCPP protective action strategy.
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 34 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00
- 4.
Analysis of the DCPP ETE's indicates it is faster to simultaneously evacuate PAZs 1 through 5 than to implement a staged evacuation. In the majority of the ETE scenarios, the simultaneous evacuation times did not exceed 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />. The worst case scenarios for a simultaneous evacuation of PAZs 1 through 5 resulted in an ETE of 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> and 15 minutes. This time difference of approximately 15 minutes (3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> versus 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> 15 minutes) does not warrant the additional complication involved in a staged evacuation for a rapidly progressing severe accident scenario.
Thus, the appropriate DCPP site specific PAR in this event is to evacuate the downwind PAZs in the 6 to 10 mile area (Refer to Section 2.7.2).
NRC EP FAQ 2013-004, Question 4 and NRC final response does not affect how the DCPP site specific PAR methodology addresses Supplement 3, Note 9 "Evacuate 2 mile radius and SIP 5 miles downwind, all others monitor and prepare" (staged evacuation). The DCPP protective action strategy does not employ staged evacuation; therefore, this response does not affect the DCPP site specific bases.
- 5.
Due to the potential radiological consequences of the rapidly progressing severe accident scenario, the uncertainty for further degradation of plant conditions and the urgency of the incident, the DCPP site specific PAR methodology does not take impediments into consideration. This evaluation is performed by the County as agreed upon with County officials during the development of this appendix.
- 6.
The ETE values used to determine the appropriate actions for a rapidly progressing severe accident scenario were taken from KLD TR-1235 Table 7.1, Time to Clear the Indicated Area of 90 Percent of the Affected Population. ETE values for special events and roadway impacts are not included (Refer to Section 2.7.2).
- 7.
Since SIP of the PAZs in the 6 to 10 mile area is not part of the DCPP site specific PAR methodology, consideration of extreme weather conditions that would warrant evacuation over SIP are not necessary (Refer to Section 2.7.2).
The County of SLO and DCPP, in advance, have made an agreement that the County of SLO will be responsible for making determinations concerning impediments to evacuation; including the impact of adverse weather. DCPP PARs will be issued to the County based on this agreement.
- 8.
The determination of the affected PAZs related to downwind sectors is based upon the information provided in Table 6.1 of the ETE Report. A PAZ is considered affected if any portion of it falls within the affected sector or the adjacent sectors.
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 35 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 The DCPP EPZ in the 6-10 mile area is divided into three PAZs (3, 4, & 5).
Since all potential wind directions and their respective downwind and adjacent sectors contain either the ocean or a PAZ containing an ocean harbor, an Ocean PAR distance of 10 nautical miles is established for all rapidly progressing severe accident scenarios.

The ETE Report determines whether a PAZ is affected based upon whether its boundary is within the associated or adjacent sectors. This methodology is inherently conservative and thus does not support additional PAZs being specified as affected based on wind persistence (refer to Section 2.5.2). DCPP discussed this element with the responsible OROs and determined that expanded initial protective actions are not appropriate or desirable.
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 36 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 5.1.4 Block J: Evacuation Timing for Rapidly Progressing Severe Accident Scenarios
- a.
Supplement 3 Development Guidance (Supplement 3 Attachment A Note 10)
Evacuation after the SIP period is critical for reducing public exposure.
Licensees should discuss the evacuation of the sheltered population with OROs.
- b.
DCPP Site Specific Bases The DCPP site specific PAR flowchart does not have an equivalent for Block J.
SIP with a subsequent staged evacuation is not performed in the 6 to 10 mile downwind PAZs for the rapidly progressing severe accident scenario at DCPP. ETE results indicate no advantage to implementing staged evacuation.
A PAR of evacuate is issued for the 6 to 10 mile downwind PAZs (refer to 5.1.3b).
5.1.5 Block D: Impediments to Evacuation Decision Point
- a.
Supplement 3 Development Guidance (Supplement 3 Attachment A Note 2)
- 1.
Evacuation Support (e.g., Traffic Control) - In this situation, the GE is the initial notification, or if a previous notification was made, the GE notification occurs before preparations to support an evacuation are complete.
Many sites have a low population density within 2 miles, and lack of traffic control may not be considered an impediment. The licensee and OROs should discuss this element and reach an agreement.
Otherwise, the licensee and OROs should agree, in advance, on an expected time for evacuation support to be put in place after notification of an emergency classification. The site specific PAR procedure for those sites at which a delay of an initial staged evacuation is necessary, pending support setup, should include this time. The licensee would base procedures on the agreement and would not confer with OROs before making the initial PAR notification.
- 2.
Hostile-Action-Based General Emergency (armed attack) - OROs may determine that an initial recommendation to shelter in place (SIP) rather than evacuation is the preferred path for a hostile action event. The licensee would discuss this element with OROs and reach an agreement during the development process. The licensee would base procedures on the agreement and would not confer with OROs before making the initial PAR notification.
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 37 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00
- 3.
Adverse Weather / Hazardous Conditions - Licensees are not responsible for soliciting information or for making a determination that adverse weather or other impediments for safe public evacuation (e.g., an earthquake or wildfire) exist at the time of the emergency. However, the licensee will consider an impediment to exist if OROs have previously notified it of such an impediment (e.g., roadways are closed because of deep snow). During the planning process, OROs may determine that the licensee does not need to consider adverse weather in its plant PAR procedures.
- b.
DCPP Site Specific Bases The DCPP site specific PAR flowchart does not contain an equivalent to Block D concerning considerations of impediments for evacuation.
PAZs 1 and 2 represent all of the land area within the generic 5 mile EPZ area. PAZ 1 is equivalent to the land area within the 2 mile generic EPZ and PAZ 2 is equivalent to the land area within the 2 to 5 mile generic EPZ (approximately 6 miles for DCPP). Based on the remote geography and limited population of PAZs 1 and 2, these areas are always recommended to evacuate simultaneously (Refer to Section 2.5.2).
- 1.
DCPP has a low population density within PAZs 1 and 2 (6 miles) which results in favorable evacuation times. The longest 90% ETE for PAZs 1 and 2 is only 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> 45 minutes. The DCPP site specific PAR methodology does not take impediments into consideration. This evaluation is performed by the County as agreed upon with County officials during the development of this appendix.

Therefore, the PAR to evacuate PAZs 1 and 2 rather than shelter in place (SIP) was determined to be the preferred path for a hostile action event. This basis was agreed to by the responsible OROs.
- 3.
The responsible OROs determined that DCPP PAR procedures do not need to consider adverse weather or other impediments. SLO County concluded the information from DCPP should provide recommendations based solely upon the plant and radiological conditions. SLO County provides the adjustment to recommendations in their Protective Action Decision process based on impediments to evacuation or other unknown factors DCPP is not aware of.

SIP means that instructions are given to members of the public to remain indoors, turn off heating or air conditioning (as appropriate for the region and season), close windows, monitor communications channels, and prepare to evacuate. The instructions should specify that SIP is safer than evacuation at this time, or that, alternatively, SIP is being implemented in order to keep roadways clear to allow others to evacuate rapidly. The intent of SIP is for members of the public to remain where they currently are or to seek shelter close by, but they should not return home to shelter when more immediate options for sheltering are available (applies to Note 3).
- 2.
Downwind sectors include a downwind 22.5-degree compass sector(s) and adjacent sectors. Generally, the downwind sectors involve three or four sectors and include all the emergency response planning areas impacted in that area (applies to Note 3).
- 3.
Site specific wind persistence information may indicate the need to include additional sectors with the initial recommendation. However, the licensee should discuss this element with responsible OROs to determine whether expanded initial protective actions are appropriate or desirable.
The size of emergency response planning areas may determine whether there is a site specific need for this contingency (applies to Note 4).
- 4.
The instruction to monitor and prepare is intended to engage the population within the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone, inform them of the emergency, and advise them that they should monitor the situation and prepare for the possibility of evacuation, SIP, or other protective actions (applies to Note 5).
- b.
DCPP Site Specific Bases The DCPP site specific PAR flowchart does not contain an equivalent for Block E. DCPP does not recommend the protective action to shelter due to impediments to evacuation in response to SLO County request discussed above in Section 5.1.5b. PAZs 1 and 2 go out to 6 miles and have an ETE of less than 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> to evacuate 90% of the population. Evacuation of PAZs 1 and 2 rather than SIP was determined to be the more effective method of protection at the declaration of a General Emergency. Remaining PAZs will be recommended for evacuation based on field measurements or dose assessment calculations that show EPA-400 PAGs could be exceeded.

- a.
Supplement 3 Development Guidance (Supplement 3 Attachment A Note 8)
- 1.
Removal of evacuation impediments involves the following:
Evacuation Support. If the OROs identified this contingency as necessary during the planning effort, the licensee should notify OROs with an evacuation PAR when the agreed upon time (e.g.,
1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> from the GE notification) has elapsed. The licensee shift staff is not expected to confer with OROs before changing the PAR, but if the augmenting ERO is activated they may do so.
Hostile Action (Armed Attack). OROs may identify this contingency as necessary during the planning effort. It may be appropriate to set up a timeframe for the licensee to notify OROs with an evacuation PAR. The licensee shift staff is not expected to confer with OROs before changing the PAR, but if the augmenting ERO is activated they may do so.
Adverse Weather. If weather or some other roadway disruption caused the impediment, OROs will determine when it is appropriate to change the protective action. Licensees have no responsibility for PAR modification unless a PAR change is necessary because of plant conditions or radiological assessment.
OROs determine when it is safe for the public to evacuate.
- b.
DCPP Site Specific Bases The DCPP site specific PAR flowchart does not have an equivalent for Block F. DCPP does not recommend sheltering in place (SIP) due to impediments to evacuation. This evaluation is performed by the County as agreed upon with County officials during the development of this appendix.

SIP means that instructions are given to members of the public to remain indoors, turn off heating or air conditioning (as appropriate for the region and season), close windows, monitor communications channels, and prepare to evacuate. The instructions should specify that SIP is safer than evacuation at this time, or that, alternatively, SIP is being implemented in order to keep roadways clear to allow others to evacuate rapidly. The intent of SIP is for members of the public to remain where they currently are or to seek shelter close by, but they should not return home to shelter when more immediate options for sheltering are available (applies to Note 3).

Downwind sectors include a downwind 22.5-degree compass sector(s) and adjacent sectors. Generally, the downwind sectors involve three or four sectors and include all the emergency response planning areas impacted in that area (applies to Note 4).
- 3.
Site specific wind persistence information may indicate the need to include additional sectors with the initial recommendation. However, the licensee should discuss this element with responsible OROs to determine whether expanded initial protective actions are appropriate or desirable.

DCPP Site Specific Bases The DCPP site specific PAR for Block H is to:
Evacuate PAZs 1 and 2 Evacuate the Ocean to 5 nautical miles Administer KI per SLO County plan All other PAZs monitor and prepare
- 1.
The PAZ 1 and PAZ 2 permanent and transient populations are very small in number (Refer to ETE Report Tables 3-1 and 3-4). Staged evacuation of PAZs 1 and 2 takes approximately the same time as simultaneous evacuation of PAZs 1 and 2 for the 90% population in each of the applicable scenarios (refer to ETE report Table 7.1).

Therefore, PAZs 1 and 2 are always recommended to evacuate simultaneously. SIP for PAZ 2 is not appropriate for the DCPP site specific PAR for this block.
- 2.
The DCPP site specific PAZ equivalent to the 2-5 mile area (PAZ 2) is not divided into multiple geographic areas. Thus there are no downwind areas within this PAZ.
- 3.
The DCPP site specific PAZ equivalent to the 2-5 mile area (PAZ 2) is not divided into multiple geographic areas. Thus wind persistence has no affect for this PAZ. Also, the ocean area is recommended for evacuation from 0 to 5 nautical miles as part of the radial evacuation area completing the 360-degree protective action recommendation.
- 4.
The DCPP PAR methodology includes the provision for the balance of the PAZs to "monitor and prepare" as provided for in the SER approved Emergency Plan.
- 5.
An addition to the DCPP PAR methodology is the administration of KI for the general public per the SLO County Emergency Response Plan. This provision was implemented to be consistent with Federal guidance for licensee recommendations in jurisdictions that opt to provide KI to the public.
5.1.9 Block M: Evacuation Timing for Downwind Sectors
- a.
Supplement 3 Development Guidance (Supplement 3 Attachment A Notes 7, 4 and 5)
- 1.
Implementation of this element should occur at the time of the site specific 2-mile evacuation time estimate (ETE) for 90-percent evacuation (e.g., T hours (use site specific time) after OROs were notified of the initial PAR to evacuate downwind sectors) (applies to Note 7).
- 2.
Downwind sectors include a downwind 22.5-degree compass sector(s) and adjacent sectors. Generally, the downwind sectors involve three or four sectors and include all the emergency response planning areas impacted in that area (applies to Note 4).

Site specific wind persistence information may indicate the need to include additional sectors with the initial recommendation. However, the licensee should discuss this element with responsible OROs to determine whether expanded initial protective actions are appropriate or desirable.
The size of emergency response planning areas may determine whether there is a site specific need for this contingency (applies to Note 4).
- 4.
The instruction to monitor and prepare is intended to engage the population within the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone, inform them of the emergency, and advise them that they should monitor the situation and prepare for the possibility of evacuation, SIP, or other protective actions (applies to Note 5).
- b.
DCPP Site Specific Bases
- 1.
Initial evacuation is for PAZs 1 and 2 which covers the 0 to 6-mile area.
PAZ 1 (0 to 2-mile radius) has a permanent and transient population of 0; therefore, does not have any impact to evacuation. Evacuation of the downwind areas follows or is coincident with evacuation of PAZs 1 and 2 based upon dose assessment or field team data. ETE Report Section 7.6 provides comparison of the evacuation times for staged evacuation and simultaneous evacuation of the respective areas. It concludes there is no benefit of staged evacuation for either the 2-mile or 6-mile regions by adopting a SIP protective action as described in Block H.
- 2.
DCPP and the responsible OROs have taken the emergency response planning areas (ERPAs) and made them into Protective Action Zones.
DCPP uses these PAZs to make PARs to the County. The County then can use DCPP's PAR, along with other factors, to make a PAD. This helps to shorten the PAR to PAD process. This process is different from Supplement 3, but meets the intent to make PARs in a timely manner.
The determination of the affected PAZs related to downwind sectors is based upon the information provided in Table 6-1 of the ETE Report. A PAZ is considered affected if any portion of it falls within that or the adjacent sectors.
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 43 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 The DCPP EPZ in the 10-22 mile area is divided into seven PAZs (PAZ 6

The ETE Report provides evacuation times for combination of PAZs that would be affected by specific wind direction. This methodology is inherently conservative and thus does not support additional PAZs being specified as affected based on wind persistence. Refer to Section 2.5.2.
This basis for not including additional PAZs to the list of affected downwind PAZs due to wind persistence has been reviewed and agreed to by the responsible OROs.
Ocean PARs are expanded from 5 nautical miles to 10 nautical miles based on dose assessment results that show areas over the ocean that could exceed EPA-400 PAGs. This expansion completes the radial evacuation for areas comparable to the land areas that would be evacuated based upon wind direction.
- 4.
The DCPP PAR methodology includes the provision for the balance of the PAZs to "monitor and prepare" as provided for in the SER approved Emergency Plan.
- 5.
An addition to the DCPP PAR methodology is the administration of KI for the general public per the SLO County Emergency Response Plan. This provision was implemented to be consistent with Federal guidance for licensee recommendations in jurisdictions that opt to provide KI to the public.

The DCPP site specific PAR methodology has provisions for continuous PAR assessment from each decision branch throughout the event.
The Supplement 3 Block N flowchart dead-ends without providing instruction where the continued assessment should enter back into the flowchart. Thus, the DCPP site specific PAR methodology corrects the dead-end error in the guidance flow-chart by providing specific instruction on where to re-enter.

Supplement 3 Development Guidance (Supplement 3 Attachment A Note 6)
- 1.
If the plant has mitigated the conditions that caused the GE declaration (i.e., core cooling is restored), expanding the PAR to evacuate downwind sectors upon completion of the initial staged evacuation may not be necessary. However, if GE emergency action levels are still met, expansion of the PAR to the downwind sectors may be appropriate.
- 2.
If the plant restores core cooling, it must still perform a radiological assessment to identify the extent of contamination, if any.
- 3.
If surveys or dose projections reveal areas under no protective action direction where protective action guidelines (PAGs) could be exceeded, the members of the public in those areas should be evacuated or sheltered, as appropriate.
- b.
DCPP Site Specific Bases The DCPP site specific PAR methodology evaluates whether a General Emergency is still in effect prior to the development of new PARs while in the "continue assessment" loop.
- 1.
If the emergency classification level is no longer a General Emergency, then additional PARs will not be developed. If the emergency classification level remains at a General Emergency, then exceeding PAGs in areas not already recommended for evacuation will result in additional PARs.
- 2.
If the restoration of core cooling results in the exiting of the General Emergency classification level, then additional PARs will not be developed. If the restoration of core cooling does not result in the exiting of the General Emergency classification level, then continuous assessment to determine the need for additional PARs will continue. In either case, field team activities involving radiological assessment to identify the extent of contamination will continue.
- 3.
Field surveys or dose projections that reveal areas where PAGs could be exceeded are thresholds for the General Emergency classification level and result in the development of PARs for those areas in the DCPP site specific PAR methodology.

DCPP Site Specific Bases The DCPP site specific PAR flowchart provides a series of decision blocks for a methodology to determine appropriate PAR expansion with provisions for beyond the EPZ including the ocean.
The DCPP site specific PAR methodology includes continuous assessment while in a General Emergency classification level that includes the expansion of PARs to areas where PAGs could be exceeded.
If the site is no longer in a General Emergency classification level then additional PARs are not warranted (if a PAG could be exceeded then a General Emergency condition still exists).
5.2 Additional Protective Action Recommendation 1: Ocean PAR 5.2.1 DCPP Site Specific Bases The DCPP site specific PAR flowchart includes ocean evacuation recommendations for 5 nautical miles or 10 nautical miles depending upon plant conditions and/or dose assessment results that indicate EPA-400 PAGs could be exceeded on areas over the ocean.
The DCPP Emergency Plan requires a protective action recommendation for the ocean. DCPP 50.54(q) Effectiveness Evaluation (2014-02) includes the basis used for initial and subsequent expansion of PARs for the ocean. An excerpt of the compliance section of that evaluation explaining the basis for ocean PARs is as follows:
The DCPP procedure that implemented the PAR determination methodology of the SER approved Emergency Plan contained the method that the NRC accepted as compliant with the regulations. The method incorporated by that procedure identified affected areas by sector and by Protective Action Zone (PAZ) within the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). Although not explicitly stated, the procedure implied that an evacuation PAR was to be issued for the ocean when an affected or adjacent sector involved the ocean.
Subsequent implementing procedure changes included a table that explicitly translated the 16 wind rose sectors into affected PAZs, including the ocean.
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 47 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 The current DCPP PAR methodology does not utilize sectors, but rather directly identifies affected areas by PAZ in order to be consistent with the site specific geographic zones utilized by the offsite agencies. Restoration of the ocean PAR determination methodology has been adapted to use the site specific PAZ methodology for DCPP areas within the EPZ. Restoration of the DCPP ocean PAR methodology resulted in a revision to EP RB-10 that includes three progressively escalating conditions:
- a.
Consistent with current and historical protective actions for the ocean implemented by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and the County at the General Emergency classification level, DCPP will recommend evacuation of the ocean out to 5 nautical miles (NM) as a minimum PAR.
- b.
Consistent with current and historical protective actions for the ocean implemented by the USCG and the County, if an EPA PAG (1000 mrem TEDE or 5000 mrem Thyroid CDE) is exceeded in any area over the ocean beyond 5 miles, DCPP will recommend evacuation of the ocean out to 10 NM.
- c.
If an EPA PAG (1000 mrem TEDE or 5000 mrem Thyroid CDE) is exceeded in any area over the ocean beyond 10 miles, DCPP will recommend evacuation of the ocean for specific areas developed under the same methodology used to develop PARs for land areas beyond the EPZ boundary.
The first two conditions for ocean PAR determination described above are consistent with the original methodology that implemented the SER approved Emergency Plan, without calling for the translation to geographic zones (PAZs) from generic sectors. Current methodology and terminology for the 12 land based PAZs used by the response agencies and the general public do not use sectors as a means of geographic distinction for the DCPP EPZ. The PAZs were originally developed by California Office of Emergency Services (OES) and SLO County in order to provide for detailed planning and implementation of protective measures in site specific geographic areas within the Basic and Extended EPZs.
The third ocean PAR determination described above was not part of the original methodology that implemented the SER approved Emergency Plan, but is included for consistency with NRC guidance regarding actions beyond the defined EPZ boundary.
Sheltering was dismissed in the 50.54(q) effectiveness evaluation 2014-02. There is no benefit to the use of sheltering for an ocean PAR as boats do not provide a sheltering factor and are by nature mobile; therefore, evacuation is the appropriate protective action used for the Ocean PAR.
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 48 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 5.3 Additional Protective Action Recommendation 2: Short Term Release NRC EP FAQ - Question 2 and final NRC response is provided in part below:
"Controlled venting could affect an area beyond initial evacuation orders (e.g., five to ten miles downwind). It is difficult to identify scenarios, other than controlled venting, that would include a short term release of known duration. In any case, augmented ERO radiological staff and decision makers should be aware of the possibility. A decision could be made in such cases to SIP for a short duration release, but such considerations would not be appropriate for Control Room guidance.
Finally, the NEI guidance endorsed by RIS 2005-08 notes the use of advisory messaging to direct the public to monitor. This measure has been emphasized in Supplement 3 as direction to "monitor and prepare." SIP is not the same measure as "monitor and prepare." An SIP order that is not necessary prevents families from reuniting when it would be beneficial for evacuation readiness. Automatic SIP for areas not affected by an actual or potential radiological release should not be recommended nor implemented as it has the potential to detract from public health and safety."
5.3.1 DCPP Site Specific Bases The DCPP site specific PAR flowchart provides a shelter PAR for PAZs 1 and 2 if there is a short term, controlled release that will be less than 60 minutes. If the release continues for 60 minutes or longer, then dose assessment results will be used to determine if evacuation is necessary based on the EPA PAGs.
Discussions with Region IV EP and NRC headquarters EP representatives resulted in agreement that a sheltering PAR can be included for a short term release though it is developed with a separate basis from NUREG-0654, Supplement 3. Additional dialogue concerning this aspect of the PAR methodology is contained in the 50.54(q) effectiveness evaluation (2014-75).
The DCPP PAR methodology retains the action to recommend sheltering for short term, controlled releases (less than 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> in duration). The control room or the augmented ERO can make a shelter PAR. The control room is most cognizant of a controlled evolution, for example containment vent, such that there is a greater assurance of maintaining the release for less than 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. A shelter PAR recommendation is provided since the evacuation time for PAZs 1 and 2 (up to 6 miles) is greater than the 60 minute release time.
5.4 Additional Protective Action Recommendation 3: Administer Potassium Iodine (KI) In Accordance With the County Plan.
Licensees are required to provide a recommendation if the respective jurisdictions in the EPZ have elected to include distribution of KI to the general public. (Ref.
10 CFR 50.47(b)(10) planning standard function. See also, discussion in Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix B for 10 CFR 50.47(b)(10)).
E-Plan Appendix G - Diablo Canyon Power Plant Emergency Plan Page 49 of 51 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Strategy Bases E-Plan_Appendix_Gu3r00.DOC 0925.1441 5.00 5.4.1 DCPP Site Specific Bases The DCPP site specific PAR flowchart provides for recommending KI be administered per SLO County Plan.
The SLO County Health Officer has the authority and responsibility for directing the general public in San Luis Obispo County to ingest potassium iodide (KI). The County Health Officer and County Emergency Services Director will make the final determination that ingestion of KI is to be implemented.
5.5 Additional Protective Action Recommendation 4: Plume exposure beyond the EPZ.
The licensee is obligated to have the capability to develop protective action recommendations beyond the EPZ. The actions can be ad-hoc in nature.
5.5.1 DCPP Site Specific Bases The DCPP site specific PAR flowchart provides for incremental evacuation at 2-mile segments should EPA PAGs be exceeded in areas beyond PAZs 8, 9, 11, or 12 (EPZ boundary on land) or areas beyond 10 miles over the ocean (EPZ boundary over the ocean).
DCPP methodology evacuates the affected sector and adjacent sectors in two-mile increments, out to a distance where the projected offsite dose is less than 1000 mrem TEDE and 5000 mrem Thyroid CDE

µCi/cc Refactored the definition for RPSA to improve usability and incorporate feedback from the ERO.
Added in the lead sentence to establish that RPSA criteria requires all the following conditions, which was inferred in the existing content, but not explicitly stated.
Removed bullets and indented the "ANDs" to better align with the EAL wallcharts and plant procedures.
Replaced containment loss EAL with EAL Table F-1 Containment Barrier Loss based on ERO feedback that the containment loss EAL was not as clear as referring to the fission product barrier matrix table loss criteria.
Refactored the final bulleted item from a compound OR to a multiple ANY to list the Table R-1 values. Substituted the EAL RG1.1 met for any Table R-1 GE value with the actual Table R-1 GE values. This does not change the intent or interpretation of the RPSA criteria but is rather relocating information from Table R-1 in place of a reference to Table R-1.

4 Section 6.3.2 For corrections to an incorrect PAR:
IF the correct PAR is more conservative (i.e., includes more PAZs or more protective actions) than the previously transmitted incorrect PAR, THEN send an updated initial ENF to correct the issue.
IF the correct PAR is less conservative (i.e.,
includes less PAZs or less protective actions) than the previously transmitted incorrect PAR, THEN the previously transmitted PAR should remain on all subsequent ENFs and Follow-Up ENFs.
Section 6.3.2 For corrections to an incorrect PAR:
IF the correct PAR includes more PAZs or more protective actions than the previously transmitted incorrect PAR (i.e., the correct PAR is bigger),
THEN send an updated initial ENF to correct the issue.
IF the correct PAR includes less PAZs or less protective actions than the previously transmitted incorrect PAR (i.e., the correct PAR is smaller),
THEN the previously transmitted PAR should remain on all subsequent ENFs and Follow-Up ENFs.
Reworded PAR correction steps to improve clarity. Since the conservativeness of a PAR is subjective, that wording is removed and is replaced with objective descriptions of whether the correct PAR is bigger or smaller than the incorrect PAR.
This change does not affect how the current E-Plan meets any planning standard functions, elements, or site-specific commitments. No additional evaluation required.
5 N/A - added content Section 6.3.3 IF the incorrect radiological release status was chosen on any ENF, THEN send an expedited Follow-Up ENF to correct the error.
Added more specific instructions for correcting radiological release status. There is no specific requirement for how such corrections should be made and this provides clear direction to the user on which form to use. This is the desired process based on discussion with the offsite response organizations.

The information provided in Attachment 2 is not used in any part of the protective action recommendation process and was included in EP RB-10 as information only. The PARs outlined in EP RB-10 are informed by the results of the ETE analysis, however, the ETE results themselves are not used by the ERO when determining PARs.
This change does not affect how the current E-Plan meets any planning standard functions, elements, or site-specific commitments. No additional evaluation required.

Changed PAR boxes to include a statement to "Recommend ALL of the following PARs:".
Changed the bulleted items to arrows as bullets are primarily used in other plant procedures to indicate a choice rather than a requirement to perform all.
Spelled out nautical miles to replace the NM acronym throughout.

Revised Content (Rev 22)
Description of Change Reworded "ALL OTHER PAZs - MONITOR AND PREPARE FOR POSSIBLE PROTECTIVE ACTIONS" to "All other PAZs Monitor and Prepare". This is consistent with the language used in the body of Appendix G and on the Emergency Notification Form used to transmit the PAR.
Moved the "continue assessment" step out of the list since it is not a PAR itself. Reworded "continue assessment" to "THEN GO TO BLOCK A to continue assessment" or "THEN continue assessment below", as applicable, to clarify how the user should continue the PAR assessment.
Changed the format of BLOCK A to be consistent in all locations.
Changed the statement "WHEN DOSE ASSESSMENT OR FIELD RESULTS AVAILABLE RETURN / GO TO" to "WHEN Dose Assessment or Field Survey results are available, THEN GO TO". Adding the word Survey is consistent with all other instances in Appendix G. "Return" is not commonly used in DCPP procedures. "GO TO" is the common wording to direct the user to BLOCK A regardless of if they have been there in the process previously or not.
Reworded "EVACUATE APPLICABLE PAZ(s)
NOT ALREADY EVACUATED" to "Evacuate applicable PAZ(s) not already designated for evacuation" to align the PAR wording with the decision making wording.
Reworded "ADMINISTER KI PER SLO COUNTY PLAN IN APPLICABLE PAZ(s)" to "Administer KI per SLO County Plan." This is consistent with the body of Appendix G and NO p

Description of Change the Emergency Notification Form. There is no method on the form to differentiate where the Administer KI PAR is made, and the box remains checked as long as any PAR has been made.
Removed the BLOCK B header from the last block in the flowchart. Block B is not referenced in any other part of the chart nor anywhere in Appendix G or EP RB-10.
Added the availability of Field Survey results as a trigger for when PARs should be reassessed.
Changed the combination of PAZs for a given wind direction and changed the Evacuate Ocean PAR for the RPSA scenario to 10 nautical miles for all wind directions to implement changes that were made in rev 5.00 of Appendix G.
Refer to 10 CFR 50.54(q) effectiveness evaluation 2023-14 for evaluation of the 2022 ETE report. Refer to 10 CFR 50.54(q) effectiveness evaluation 2023-17 for evaluation of the change to the RPSA Ocean PAR strategy.
Removed Wind Sector column as that information is not useful to the decision maker based on the DCPP site-specific PAR strategy. Since the PAZs have been preassigned for each range of wind directions, providing the "from" sector will not aid the decision maker in determining the correct PAR. The wind direction provided by the ERO Meteorologist, plant data computers, and electronic notification form is provided in degrees from, rather than wind sector.

Description of Change Table title change to clarify that the table is only used for rapidly progressing severe accidents. Spelled out "nautical miles" and "evacuate" to improve the readability of the chart.
Reformatted Note 2 by removing bullets and indenting the "ANDs" to better align with the EAL wallcharts and plant procedures.
Refactored the final bulleted item from a compound OR to a multiple ANY to list the Table R-1 values to better align with the EAL wallcharts and plant procedures.
Substituted the EAL RG1.1 met for any Table R-1 GE value with the actual Table R-1 GE values. This does not change the intent or interpretation of the RPSA criteria but is rather relocating information from Table R-1 in place of a reference to Table R-1.
Changed "field team results" to "field survey results" to be consistent with other references to field surveys on the wall chart.
This change does not affect how the current E-Plan meets any planning standard functions, elements, or site-specific commitments. No additional evaluation required.
