UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 November, 2017 Mr. Thomas J. Palmisano Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Southern California Edison Company San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station P.O. Box 128 San Clemente, CA 92674-0128

SUBJECT:

SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 -

ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENTS TO REVISE THE PERMANENTLY DEFUELED EMERGENCY PLAN (CAC NOS. L53160, L53161, and L53162)

Dear Mr. Palmisano:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 168 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-13, Amendment No. 236 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-10, and Amendment No. 229 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-15 for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS), Units 2 and 3, respectively. The amendments consist of changes to the Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan (PDEP) in response to your application dated December 15, 2016 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML16355A015), as supplemented by letter dated May 5, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17160A324). The proposed changes more fully reflect the status of the facility, as well as the reduced scope of potential radiological accidents once all spent fuel has been moved to dry cask storage within the onsite independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI), an activity which is currently scheduled for completion in 2019.

The proposed changes replace the SONGS PDEP and associated Emergency Action Level (EAL) Bases Manual (hereafter referred to as the EAL scheme) with an ISFSI-Only Emergency Plan (IOEP) and associated EAL scheme. The NRC staff determined that the proposed SONGS IOEP and associated EAL changes continue to meet the standards in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.47, Emergency plans, and the requirements in Appendix E, Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities, of 10 CFR Part 50, as exempted. As such, the SONGS IOEP and associated EAL changes provides reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency.

The NRC staff has determined that its documented safety evaluation does not contain Sensitive Security-Related Information (SUNSI) pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of ADAMS. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

A copy of the related Safety Evaluation is provided in Enclosure 4. The Notice of Issuance will be included in the Commission's next biweekly Federal Register notice. If you have any questions, please contact me at 301 -415-3178, or via e-mail at marlayna.vaaler@nrc.gov.

NPF-15 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY SAN DIEGO GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 DOCKET NOS. 50-206, 50-361, AND 50-362

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS), Units 1, 2 and 3, are decommissioning nuclear power reactor units located in San Diego County, California, approximately 62 miles southeast of Los Angeles, and approximately 51 miles northwest of San Diego, on an 84 acre site located entirely within the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base. The licensee, Southern California Edison (SCE), is the holder of Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-13 (Unit 1),

NPF-10 (Unit 2) and NPF-15 (Unit 3), which were issued pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities, of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR).

SONGS, Unit 1, was granted its provisional operating license by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on January 1, 1968 (Reference 1), and ceased operation on November 30, 1992 (Reference 2). The licensee completed defueling on March 6, 1993 (Reference 3), and maintained the unit in SAFSTOR until June 1999, when it initiated active decommissioning and dismantlement, or DECON (Reference 4). On December 28, 1993 (Reference 5), the NRC approved the Permanently Defueled Technical Specifications for SONGS, Unit 1. SCE submitted the proposed Decommissioning Plan for SONGS, Unit 1, on November 3, 1994 (Reference 6). As a result of the 1996 revision to the regulations in 10 CFR 50.82, Termination of license, the NRC replaced the requirement for a decommissioning plan with a requirement for a Post Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (PSDAR). On August 28, 1996, the SONGS, Unit 1, Decommissioning Plan became the SONGS 1 PSDAR (61 FR 67079; December 19, 1996). On December 15, 1998 (Reference 7),

SCE submitted an update to the PSDAR to the NRC, as required by 10 CFR 50.82(a)(7), in order to begin planning for the dismantlement and decommissioning of SONGS, Unit 1.

Dismantlement of SONGS, Unit 1, is essentially complete and most of the structures and equipment have been removed and sent to a nuclear waste disposal facility. All of the SONGS, Unit 1, fuel is being stored in the onsite independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI).

By letter dated June 12, 2013 (Reference 8), SCE submitted a certification to the NRC indicating its intention to permanently cease power operations at SONGS, Units 2 and 3, as of June 7, 2013, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i). By letters dated June 28, 2013 (Reference 9),

and July 22, 2013 (Reference 10), SCE submitted certifications of permanent removal of fuel from the Unit 3 and Unit 2 reactor vessels as of October 5, 2012, and July 18, 2013, respectively, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(ii). Upon docketing of these certifications, and pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2), the SONGS, Units 2 and 3, facility operating licenses no longer authorize operation of the reactors or emplacement or retention of fuel into the reactor vessels.

By application dated December 15, 2016 (Reference 11), as supplemented by letter dated May 5, 2017 (Reference 12), the licensee requested changes to the SONGS Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan (PDEP) pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54(q), Emergency plans. The proposed changes replace the SONGS PDEP and associated Emergency Action Level (EAL)

Bases Manual (hereafter referred to as the EAL scheme) with an ISFSI-Only Emergency Plan (IOEP) and associated EAL scheme. The NRC staff determined that the proposed SONGS IOEP and associated EAL changes continue to meet the standards in 10 CFR 50.47, Emergency plans, and the requirements in Appendix E, Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities, of 10 CFR Part 50, as exempted. As such, the SONGS IOEP and associated EAL changes provides reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency.

The proposed changes more fully reflect the decommissioning status of the facility, as well as the reduced scope of potential radiological accidents once all spent fuel has been moved to dry cask storage within the onsite ISFSI, an activity which is currently scheduled for completion in 2019. The supplement to the current application, dated May 5, 2017, provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed, and did not change the staff's original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register on February 14, 2017 (82 FR 10601).

2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

This safety evaluation assesses the acceptability of the proposed SONGS ISFSI-Only IOEP and associated EAL scheme. This plan would replace the current SONGS PDEP and associated EAL scheme after all of the SONGS, Units 2 and 3, spent fuel has been transferred from the spent fuel pools (SFPs) to the expanded onsite ISFSI. The regulatory requirements, as exempted by letter dated June 4, 2015 (Reference 13), and associated guidance on which the NRC based its acceptance and evaluation are as follows:

2.1 NRC Regulations 10 CFR 50.47(b)(1), as exempted, states, in part:... each principal response organization has staff to respond and to augment its initial response on a continuous basis; 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) states, in part:... adequate staffing to provide initial facility accident response in key functional areas is maintained at all times, timely augmentation of response capabilities is available...;

10 CFR 50.47(b)(4), as exempted, states, in part: A standard emergency classification and action level scheme, the bases of which include facility system and effluent parameters, is in use by the nuclear facility licensee; 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A, as exempted, states, in part: The organization for coping with radiological emergencies shall be described, including definition of authorities, responsibilities, and duties of individuals assigned to the licensees emergency organization; 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.C.1, as exempted, states, in part: The emergency classes defined shall include (1) notification of unusual events, (2) alert; 10 CFR 72.32, Emergency Plan, Section (a)(3), states: A classification system for classifying accidents as Alerts; and 10 CFR 72.32(a)(7) states, in part: A brief description of the responsibilities of licensee personnel should an accident occur.

2.2 Regulatory Guidance Revision 1 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants (Reference 14), provides a common reference and guidance source for nuclear facility operators to develop radiological emergency response plans.

EAL scheme development guidance.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

The NRC staff has reviewed the licensees regulatory and technical analyses in support of its proposed emergency plan changes, as described in the application dated December 15, 2016, as supplemented by letter dated May 5, 2017. The technical evaluation is detailed below.

3.1 Background

SONGS, Unit 1, has been permanently shutdown since November 30, 1992, and the final removal of fuel from its reactor vessel was completed on March 6, 1993. SONGS, Units 2 and 3, have been shutdown since January 2012, and SCE submitted certifications of permanent removal of fuel from the Unit 3 and Unit 2 reactor vessels as of October 5, 2012, and July 18, 2013, respectively. SONGS is authorized to possess and store irradiated nuclear fuel at the permanently shutdown and defueled SONGS facility. The spent fuel from SONGS, Unit 1, is stored in the onsite ISFSI and at the General Electric-Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC, Morris Operation facility (Docket No. 72-01) located in Morris, Illinois. After the SONGS, Units 2 and 3, reactors were shutdown, all fuel assemblies were removed from the reactor vessels and placed in the SONGS SFPs.

By letter dated March 31, 2014 (Reference 19), as supplemented by letters dated September 9, 2014 (Reference 20), October 2, 2014 (Reference 21), October 7, 2014 (Reference 22), October 27, 2014 (Reference 23), November 3, 2014 (Reference 24), and December 15, 2014 (Reference 25), SCE requested exemptions for SONGS from (1) certain planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) regarding onsite and offsite radiological emergency plans for nuclear power reactors; (2) certain requirements in 10 CFR 50.47(c)(2) that require establishment of plume exposure and ingestion pathway emergency planning zones for nuclear power reactors, and (3) certain requirements in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV, regarding the content of emergency plans. The NRC approved the requested exemptions in a letter dated June 4, 2015 (Reference 13).

By letters dated June 5, 2015, the NRC issued Amendment No. 166 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-13, Amendment No. 228 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-10, and Amendment No. 221 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-15 for SONGS, Units 1, 2 and 3, respectively, and the ISFSI, for changes to the EAL scheme (Reference 26), and Amendment No. 167 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-13, Amendment No. 229 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-10, and Amendment No. 222 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-15 for SONGS, Units 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and the ISFSI, for changes to the emergency plan (Reference 27). The PDEP and EAL scheme were fully implemented on July 8, 2015 (Reference 28), in accordance with the above-referenced license amendments.

3.2 Proposed Changes In its application dated December 15, 2016 (Reference 11), as supplemented by letter dated May 5, 2017 (Reference 12), SCE requested that the NRC review and approve a proposed IOEP, including a proposed ISFSI-Only EAL scheme, that is based on NEI 99-01, Revision 6 (Reference 17). The proposed amendments would replace the existing SONGS PDEP and associated EAL scheme, which currently reflect spent fuel from SONGS, Units 1, 2, and 3, being stored in the SFPs and onsite ISFSI. The major changes that SCE is requesting are:

(1) removal of the various emergency actions related to the SFPs; (2) removal of non-ISFSI related emergency event types; (3) replacing the Shift Manager title with the ISFSI Shift Supervisor (ISS) title as the position that assumes the Emergency Directors responsibilities; and (4) a revision to the SONGS Emergency Response Organization (ERO).

The proposed changes modify the scope of onsite emergency preparedness requirements to reflect the reduced potential radiological accidents with all spent fuel in dry cask storage within the ISFSI. The off-normal events and accidents addressed in the SONGS IOEP are related to the dry storage of spent nuclear fuel at the ISFSI, and include only off-normal, accident, natural phenomena, and hypothetical events and consequences affecting the SONGS ISFSI.

Under the previous facility condition with spent fuel stored within the SONGS SFPs, the most severe postulated beyond-design-basis accident involved a highly unlikely sequence of events that cause a heat-up of the spent fuel, postulated to occur without heat transfer, such that the zircaloy fuel cladding reaches ignition temperature. While highly improbable, the resultant zircaloy fire could lead to the release of large quantities of fission products to the atmosphere.

However, after removal of the spent fuel from the SONGS SFPs, the age and configuration of spent fuel stored in dry cask storage precludes the possibility of such a zircaloy fire scenario.

After all the spent fuel is transferred to dry cask storage within the SONGS ISFSI, the number and severity of potential radiological accidents is significantly less than when spent fuel was stored in the SFPs. For these reasons, the potential radiological consequences of accidents possible at SONGS after all spent fuel is transferred to the ISFSI are further reduced.

There continues to be no need for formal offsite radiological emergency preparedness (REP) plans under 44 CFR Part 350 at SONGS because no design-basis accident or reasonably credible beyond-design-basis accident can result in radioactive releases that exceed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Early Phase Protective Action Guides (PAGs)

(Reference 29) beyond the exclusion area boundary.

3.3 Evaluation The NRC staff reviewed the changes from the current SONGS PDEP to the proposed IOEP and ISFSI-Only EAL scheme, including the licensees evaluation of the changes, to verify that the proposed IOEP and EAL scheme continue to meet the standards contained in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50, as exempted, applicable to the approved 10 CFR Part 50 emergency plan for the long-term defueled conditions at SONGS.

The NRC staff also performed a review to ensure that the proposed IOEP would be consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 72.32 for an ISFSI not located on the site of an operating nuclear power reactor. Although the requirements of 10 CFR 72.32 do not apply to a 10 CFR Part 50 licensee, such as SONGS, the NRC uses these regulations as guidance to promote consistency between specifically licensed and generally licensed ISFSIs.

3.3.1 ISFSI EALs and Removal of SFP Initiating Conditions and EALs The initiating conditions (ICs) and EALs associated with the emergency classification levels in the current PDEP are based on Appendix C to NEI 99-01, Revision 6 (Reference 17), which addresses a nuclear power reactor that has permanently ceased operations and transferred spent fuel from the reactor vessel to the SFPs (permanently defueled). After all spent fuel has been removed from the SFPs and placed in dry cask storage within the ISFSI, the ICs and EALs in Appendix C to NEl 99-01 that are associated with the SFPs at a decommissioning facility are no longer required. Additionally, certain ICs and EALs whose primary function is not associated with the SFPs are no longer required when administrative controls are established to limit source term accumulation and the offsite consequences of uncontrolled effluent releases.

Examples of administrative controls for radiological source term accumulation limits and methods to control the accidental dispersal of the radiological source are:

Limits on radioactive materials collected on filter media and resins (dose rate limit);

Limits on surface or fixed contamination on work areas that may create airborne radioactive material (activity limits), and Limiting dispersal mechanisms that may cause a fire (e.g., limits on combustible material loading, use of a fire watch to preclude fires, etc.) or placement of a berm around a radioactive liquid storage tank.

Other ICs proposed for deletion include those associated with the mitigative strategies contained in certain SCE license conditions, as well as response procedures for potential or actual aircraft attacks. These will be eliminated after all spent fuel is removed from the SFPs and stored in the onsite SONGS ISFSI. The ICs listed in Table 1 below are being deleted, either partially or in their entirety as indicated, from the PDEP and EAL scheme for SONGS.

The ICs being deleted are either associated only with SFP operation or are ICs for which administrative controls to limit possible effluent releases have been established.

Table 1: Initiating Conditions to be Deleted or Modified ALERT UNUSUAL EVENT PD-AA1 (all EALs)

Release of gaseous or liquid radioactivity resulting in offsite dose greater than 10 millirems (mrem) total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) or 50 mrem committed dose equivalent (CDE).

PD-AU1 (all EALs)

Release of gaseous or liquid radioactivity greater than 2 times the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) limit for 60 minutes or longer.

PD-AA2 (all EALs)

UNPLANNED rise in plant radiation levels that impedes plant access required to maintain spent fuel integrity.

PD-AU2 (all EALs)

UNPLANNED rise in plant radiation levels.

PD-HA1*

HOSTILE ACTION within the Vehicle Barrier System (VBS) boundary or airborne attack threat within 30 minutes.

PD-SU1 (all EALs)

UNPLANNED spent fuel pool temperature rise.

PD-HA1.2 A validated notification from the NRC of an aircraft attack threat within 30 minutes of the site.

PD-HU1.3 A validated notification from the NRC providing information of an aircraft attack threat.

PD-HU2 (all EALs)**

Hazardous event affecting SAFETY SYSTEM equipment necessary for spent fuel cooling.

Only the strike-through portion is being deleted.

For an ISFSI-only facility, the condition addressed by PD-HU2 remains fully addressed by IC EU1.1 (which is being retained in the SONGS emergency plan).

The currently existing SONGS ICs and EALs not listed in Table 1 are being retained. The EAL ICs being deleted include all ICs associated with the categories of abnormal radioactivity release and system malfunction. These two categories apply only to SFP operation. The EAL ICs being retained in the SONGS IOEP are appropriate to address the condition of an ISFSI-only facility (i.e., no fuel stored in the spent fuel pools).

The SONGS ICs and EALs to be retained are listed in Table 2, and include one new EAL being proposed in IC E-HU1, Damage to a loaded cask CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY, which bounds the deleted ICs. In addition, the new EAL E-HU1.2 provides threshold values for the AREVA ISFSI and the new HOLTEC ISFSI at SONGS, based on the generic AREVA and HOLTEC Technical Specification values provided in the respective Certificates of Compliance.

Table 2: Initiating Conditions to be Maintained or Added ALERT UNUSUAL EVENT Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSl)

Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guide exposure levels.

PD-HU3 Other conditions exist which in the judgment of the ISS/ED warrant declaration of an UNUSUAL EVENT.

PD-HU3.1 Other conditions exist which in the judgment of the ISS/ED indicate that events are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the ISFSI or indicate a security threat to the ISFSI has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation occurs.

  • 7000 mR/hr (gamma + neutron) on the side of a TRANSFER CASK, measured in accordance with the EAL Technical Basis.

The most severe beyond-design-basis accident postulated for SONGS with spent fuel stored within the SFPs involved a highly unlikely sequence of events that cause heat-up of the spent fuel, postulated to occur without heat transfer, such that the zircaloy fuel cladding reaches ignition temperature. Because this limiting, beyond-design-basis scenario is no longer possible due to the transfer of spent fuel from the SFPs to dry cask storage in the onsite ISFSI, SCE assessed the following design-basis accidents associated with the performance of decommissioning activities with all irradiated fuel stored in the SONGS ISFSI: (1) cask drop accident (fuel related accident); (2) radioactive material handling accident (non-fuel related), and (3) accidents initiated by external events. For design-basis accident scenarios (1) and (2), the results of the assessment indicate that the projected radiological doses at the exclusion area boundary are less than the EPA PAGs. The effects of external events, such as fires, floods, wind (including tornados), earthquakes, lightning, and physical security breaches on the SONGS ISFSI that could affect the confinement boundary of the ISFSI remain unchanged from the effects that were considered under the existing PDEP.

As discussed in the June 4, 2015, exemption from certain emergency preparedness requirements (Reference 13), an analysis of the potential radiological impacts of a design-basis accident at SONGS in a permanently defueled condition indicated that any releases beyond the exclusion area boundary were below the EPA PAG exposure levels. The basis for these exemptions has not changed and remains in effect for the proposed emergency plan changes.

Because of the very low risk of consequences to public health and safety resulting from the postulated accidents related to the SONGS ISFSI, no potential emergencies are classified as higher than an Alert, in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.C.1, as exempted. Classification of emergencies as no higher than an Alert also maintains consistency with the regulations in 10 CFR 72.32(a)(3), Classification of accidents.

Based on the NRC staffs review of the SONGS IOEP and associated EAL scheme, as described above, the NRC staff concludes that the planning standard of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4), as exempted, pertaining to a standard emergency classification and action level scheme, is addressed in an acceptable manner in the SONGS IOEP, considering the permanently shutdown and defueled status of the facility, and the proposed transfer of all remaining spent fuel from the SONGS SFPs to the ISFSI by 2019.

3.3.2 SONGS Emergency Response Organization Revision The existing SONGS PDEP provides for two (2) ERO augmented positions - a Duty ERO Coordinator and a Radiation Control Coordinator. The proposed SONGS IOEP would replace these positions with a Resource Manager. The Resource Manager will assist in assessing the event and coordinating required resources, including public information interface. The Resource Manager will be in contact with the Emergency Director within two hours of classification of an Unusual Event or an Alert. The Resource Manager does not need to physically report to SONGS to perform their responsibilities. In addition, SCE proposes that, for a declared emergency involving radiological consequences (E-HU1), a minimum of one person trained in radiological monitoring and assessment will report to the SONGS ISFSI within four hours of the emergency declaration. Supplemental personnel shall report at the discretion of the Emergency Director and/or Resource Manager.

In its evaluation of the proposed changes to the SONGS ERO, the NRC staff considered the accident analyses referenced in the previous section related to the deletion of EALs, either partially or in their entirety, as indicated, as they relate to SFP operation. Specifically, the NRC staff considered the postulated accidents that could occur with all spent fuel moved into the SONGS ISFSI, which pose a very low risk to public health and safety. The staff notes that SCE also continues to commit to maintain the appropriate level of augmented response to an emergency, to include an event involving radiological consequences.

In the Statement of Considerations for the Final Rule for Emergency Planning Licensing Requirements for Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facilities and Monitored Retrievable Storage Facilities (MRS) (60 FR 32430; June 22, 1995), the Commission stated, in part:

For there to be a significant environmental impact resulting from an accident involving the dry storage of spent nuclear fuel, a significant amount of the radioactive material contained within a cask must escape its packaging and enter the biosphere. There are two primary factors that protect the public health and safety from this event. The first is the design requirements for the cask that are imposed by regulation.

These general design criteria place an upper bound on the energy a cask can absorb before the fuel is damaged. No credible dynamic events have been identified that could impart such significant amounts of energy to a storage cask after that cask is placed at the ISFSI.

Additionally, there is a second factor which does not rely upon the cask itself but considers the age of the spent fuel and the lack of dispersal mechanisms. There exists no significant dispersal mechanism for the radioactive material contained within a storage cask.

Based on the design limitations, the majority of spent fuel is cooled greater than 5 years. At this age, spent fuel has a heat generation rate that is too low to cause significant particulate dispersal in the unlikely event of a cask confinement boundary failure.

Although the SONGS spent fuel analysis has not been able to identify any design-basis accident that would result in a failure of the confinement barrier for the dry storage casks or the irradiated fuel itself, the SONGS IOEP nonetheless requires augmentation of one person trained in radiological monitoring and assessment, who will report to the station within four hours of the emergency declaration for an event involving radiological consequences.

The proposed SONGS IOEP also provides that additional personnel resources may be directed to report to the plant to provide support, as needed, to assess radiological conditions, support maintenance and repair activities, develop and implement corrective action plans, and assist with recovery actions. The supplemental personnel are available from SONGS staff and SCE, and can also be requested from various contractors.

Based on the NRC staffs review of the SONGS IOEP, as described above, the NRC staff concludes that the planning standard of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2), pertaining to timely augmentation of response capabilities, is addressed in an acceptable manner in the SONGS IOEP, considering the permanently shutdown and defueled status of the facility, and the proposed transfer of all remaining spent fuel from the SFPs to the ISFSI by 2019.

3.3.3 Replacement of the Shift Manager Title with the ISFSI Shift Supervisor Title SCE revised Section 2.1, On-Shift Positions, in the SONGS IOEP to reassign the following Emergency Director responsibilities from the Shift Manager to the ISFSI Shift Supervisor:

Event classification and emergency declaration; Decision to notify offsite agencies; Authorization for the use of EPA-400 emergency exposure controls (emergency worker dose limits that exceed 10 CFR Part 20 occupational exposure limits);

Management of available station resources; Initiation of assessment and mitigative / corrective actions; Initiation of onsite protective actions; Decision to call for offsite law enforcement, firefighting, or ambulance assistance; Augmentation of the emergency response organization as deemed necessary; Notification of SCE corporate officers and the SCE corporate communications department, and Notification of offsite agencies (State and local government agencies, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton and the NRC).

The NRC staff evaluation verified that the retitled position of ISFSI Shift Supervisor is on-shift at the SONGS site 24-hours a day / 7 days a week, and also serves as the senior management position during off-hours. This position assumes overall command and control of event response as the Emergency Director, and is responsible for monitoring conditions and approving all onsite activities. The SONGS IOEP clearly identifies non-delegable responsibilities, along with other designated tasks, for the ISFSI Shift Supervisor. The NRC staff considers this retitling activity to be an administrative change that will not impact the timing or performance of existing emergency response duties.

Based on the NRC staffs review of the SONGS IOEP, as described above, the NRC staff concludes that the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A, as exempted, pertaining to responsibilities and duties of individuals assigned to the licensees emergency organization, are addressed in a satisfactory manner, considering the permanently shutdown and defueled status of the facility, and the proposed transfer of all remaining spent fuel from the SONGS SFPs to the ISFSI by 2019.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The amendments include changes to requirements with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the protected area and changes to recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements. The NRC staff has determined that the amendments involve no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration, and there have been no public comment on such finding, which was published in the Federal Register on February 14, 2017 (82 FR 10601). Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusions set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) and 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10)(ii).

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments.

5.0 STATE CONSULTATION

On November 5, 2017, the NRC staff notified the California State officials, Mr. Ira Schneider, Senior Health Physicist, Medical, Academic and Pharmacy Licensing, Radiologic Health Branch, California Department of Public Health; and Mr. Robert Weisenmiller, California State Liaison Officer, Commissioner, California Energy Commission, regarding the proposed change to approve the SONGS IOEP and associated EAL scheme to reflect the transfer of all spent fuel into dry cas storage at the onsite ISFSI. The California State officials responded on XXXXX XX, 2017, and XXXXX XX, 2017, with no comments.

6.0 CONCLUSION

Based on the its review of the proposed SONGS IOEP and associated EAL scheme, the NRC staff finds that the proposed changes continue to meet the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements in Appendix E of 10 CFR Part 50, as exempted. The staff finds continued reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency at the SONGS facility. In addition, the NRC staff concludes that the SONGS IOEP will be consistent with the emergency planning requirements in 10 CFR Part 72 for an ISFSI not located on the site of an operating reactor. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the licensees proposed changes to the SONGS IOEP and associated EAL scheme in its letter dated December 15, 2016, as supplemented by letter dated May 5, 2017, are acceptable.

The NRC staff has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) there continues to be reasonable assurance that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
