Diablo Canyon Power Plant License Amendment Request to Revise the Emergency Plan for Post-Shutdown and Permanently Defueled Condition Pre-Submittal Meeting Presented by Philippe Soenen, Decommissioning Environmental and Licensing Manager
Meeting Purpose 2
Provide preliminary information regarding a proposed License Amendment Request (LAR) to revise the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) Units 1 and 2 Emergency Plan to reflect a permanently shutdown and defueled condition Termed the Post-Shutdown Emergency Plan (PSEP)
The proposed changes continue to demonstrate PG&Es commitment and responsibility to protect the health and safety of our workforce, our communities, and the environment
DCPP Decommissioning Planning 3
On November 27, 2018, PG&E notified the NRC of the intent to permanently cease operations at DCPP Units 1 and 2 upon expiration of the operating licenses DCPP Unit 1 license expires November 2, 2024 DCPP Unit 2 license expires August 26, 2025 PG&E is currently working on decommissioning planning activities necessary to support direct transition to decommissioning upon permanent cessation of operations Including submittal of LARs to support decommissioning
Background for E-Plan Transitions 4
What changes during decommissioning?
Existing Operations Spent Fuel in SFPs and ISFSI Spent Fuel Only in ISFSI Reactors Stop Operating Decontamination, Dismantlement, and Demolition (remove all non-fuel radioactive waste from site)
NRC Terminates DCPP Licenses Spent Fuel Transfer to ISFSI Spent Fuel Zirconium Fire Potential
~16 mo.
No more fuel in SFPs Spent Fuel Transferred Offsite ISFSI Demo NRC Terminates DC ISFSI License ISFSI: Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation SFP: Spent Fuel Pool Diablo Canyon Emergency Planning (continues throughout decommissioning)
Todays Meeting:
PSEP Permanently Defueled E-Plan ISFSI Only E-Plan Current E-Plan
E-Plan Transitions 5
Consistent with the 2016 Joint Proposal Settlement Agreement Commitments Agreement between PG&E and stakeholders Reflected in PG&Es 2018 funding request to the California Public Utilities Commission PG&E will continue to support the funding of warning sirens and local emergency planning during the decommissioning period until all spent fuel is in dry cask storage and the two nuclear reactors are fully decommissioned... Additionally, the settlement ensures that PG&Es spending on its own emergency response personnel throughout the entire decommissioning period will be appropriately based upon the risks at each phase of the process and retains the Commissions discretion to review the specific levels of funding for PG&E staff and equipment as part of the Commissions future review of Diablo Canyons site-specific decommissioning plan.
- Joint Proposal Settlement Agreement Testimony
Conditions for Implementation 6
The proposed changes will not be applicable until permanent cessation of operations and once the following conditions have been met for DCPP Units 1 and 2:
Docketing of the certifications required by 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)
(i and ii) for DCPP Units 1 and 2 (i.e., permanent fuel removal from reactors)
The DCPP Permanently Defueled Technical Specifications have become effective (submitted in December 2020 for NRC review)

Overview of Proposed PSEP 8
Transition from operational on-shift staff to decommissioning
22 (existing) 12 (proposed)
Supported by On-Shift Staffing Assessment using NEI 10-05 methodology Reflects the reduced spectrum of accidents Operational On-Shift Staff Post Shutdown Decommissioning On-Shift Staff (Phase 1)
(1) Shift Manager (1) Shift Supervisor* (qualified as a CFH)
(2) Unit Shift Supervisors (4) Control Room Operators (1) Certified Fuel Handler (CFH)
(5) Non-Licensed Operators (3) Non-Certified Operators (NCOs)
(2) Shift Phone Talkers (2) RP Technicians (2) RP Technicians (1) Work Control Shift Foreman (5) Fire Department (5) Fire Department personnel per the Fire Protection Program Personnel per Security Plan Security personnel per the Security Plan Total = 22 Total = 12
- re-named from Shift Manager
Overview of Proposed PSEP 9
ERO staffing transition
Modified staffing numbers at all Emergency Response Facilities (ERFs)
Supported by an ERO Task Analysis Staffing levels maintains the ability for:
PG&E to interface with the State or County
State and County response organizations to implement the Radiological Emergency Plans Reflects the reduced spectrum of potential accidents
Key ERO changes:
RP: 6 (existing) 2 (proposed; 1 for radiological assessment, 1 in-plant protective actions)
Field Monitoring Teams (1 RP & 1 driver): 3 teams (existing) 2 teams (proposed; 1 offsite, 1 onsite)
Overview of Proposed PSEP 10 Remove systems and components associated with an operating reactor Remove Emergency Response Data System (ERDS)
No longer required to provide hardware to interface with the NRC receiving system Maintain capability for continuous NRC communications Supplemental Action
Consistent with industry precedent: PG&E will conduct a drill prior to implementation of the PSEP to confirm ability:
DCPP will perform a drill to confirm the ability of the post-shutdown ERO to perform the necessary functions of each emergency response facility and to utilize the post-shutdown procedures being developed depicting the revised assignment of duties. State and local response organizations will be offered the opportunity to participate, and the NRC and FEMA will be provided advance notice and the opportunity to observe drill activities.
Overview of Proposed PSEP Items that are not proposed for change in the PSEP:
Emergency Response Facilities (ERFs): will use existing ERFs
Technical Support Center (TSC)
Operations Support Center (OSC)
Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)
Joint Information Center (JIC)
Emergency Classification Levels (ECLs): no changes from unusual event, alert, site area emergency, and general emergency Emergency Action Levels (EALs): no changes 11
Overview of Proposed PSEP Items that are not proposed for change (continued):
Emergency Response Organization (ERO) response times: no changes for remaining positions Offsite equipment Emergency Planning Zones 12
Agency Consultations on PSEP 13 Consulted with
- California Governors Office of Emergency Services
- County of San Luis Obispo Administrative Office - Office of Emergency Services
- Federal Emergency Management Agency Actions taken
- Conducted meetings with agencies
- Responded to all questions and comments
