If the emergency plan, modified as proposed, no longer complies with planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements in Appendix E to 1 O CFR Part 50, then ensure the change is rejected, modified, or processed as an exemption request under 10 CFR 50.12, Specific Exemptions, rather than under 10 CFR 50.54(q):
Regulations 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4) states 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, and State and local response plans call for reliance on information provided by facility licensees for determin.ations of minimum initial offsite response measures.
10 CFR App E.IV.C.2 states (in part) By June 20, 2012, nuclear power reactor licensees shall establish and maintain the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded and shall promptly declare the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level NUREG-0654, Criterion 0.1 and 0.2
- 1. An emergency classification and emergency action level scheme as set forth in Appendix 1 must be established by the licensee. The specific instruments, parameters or equipment status shall be shown for establishing each
/"
ergency class, in the in-plant emergency procedures. The plan shall Identify the parameter val.ues and uipment status for each emergency class.
- 2. The initiating conditions shall include the example conditions found in Appendix 1 and all postulated accidents in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) for the nuclear facility.
Compliance Change 1 added the step to provide the EC/SM with clarifying information to consider when reviewing IC/EAL's for planned evolutions which would not warrant an emergency declaration.
Change 2 adds terminology to Condition 'A' and 'B' that will be changing in 2016. The terminology 'Imminent Failure' and 'Potential Failure' are currently in the definitions of Condition 'A' and 'B'. Changes to the terms are a result of a change driven by FERC Hydro to more descriptive terms used to describe the status a dams when communicating to Offsite Response Organizations.
The ONS Emergency Plan has been previously evaluated to comply with regulations and guidance for emergency classification. Due to FERC initiative; the Division of Dam Safety and Inspections, Office of Energy Projects, has finalized revisions to chapter 6 of the Engineering Guidelines for Emergency Action Plans. Terminology was modified to be consistent with the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program(HSEEP). The IC/EAL scheme has not changed but* information has been added that will enhance the EC/SM's ability to classify in a timely manner when notified by Duke Hydro of events that could lead to event declaration using the new terms under the FERC guidelines for Hydro Emergency Action Plans. Additionally, information is being provided for consideration when evaluating planned events that meet IC/EAL criteria that would conservatively not warrant an event declaration. The procedure, as revised, continues to comply with regulations and commitments.

This procedure is an implementing procedure to the Oconee Nuclear Site Emergency P Ian and must be:
Reviewed in accordance with 1 OCFR50.54( q) by Emergency Preparedness prior to approval.
Cross Disciplinary Reviewed by Operations Forwarded to Emergency Preparedness within seven (7) working days of approval.
- 1. Symptoms 1.1 This procedure describes the immediate actions to be taken to recognize and classify an emergency condition.
1.2 This procedure identifies the four emergency classifications and their corresponding Emergency Action Levels (EALs).
1.3 This procedure provides reporting requirements for non-emergency abnormal events.
1.4 The following guidance is to be used _by the Emergency Coordinator/EOF Director in assessing emergency conditions:
1.4.1 Definitions and Acronyms are italicized throughout procedure for easy recognition. The definitions are in Enclosure 4.10 (Definitions/Acronyms).
1.4,.2 The Emergency Coordinator/EOF Director shall review all applicable
- initiating events to ensure proper classification.
1.4.3 The BASIS Document (Volume A, Section D of the Emergency Plan) is available for review if any questions arise over proper classification.
1.4.4 IF,
THEN An event occurs on mote than one unit concurrently, The event with the higher classification will be classified on the Emergency Notification Form.
A. Information relating to the problem(s) on the other unit(s) will be captured on the Emergency Notification Form as shown in RP/O/A/1000/015A, (Offsite Communications From The Control Room),
RP/O/A/1000/015B, (Offsite Communications From The Technical Support Center) or SR/O/A/2000/004, (Notification to States and Counties from the Emergency Operations Facility):
1.5 1.4.5 THEN An event occurs, RP/0/A/1000/001 Page 3of6 A lower or higher plant operating mode is reached before the classification can be made, The classification shall be based on the mode that existed at the time the event occurred.
1.4.6 The Fission Product Barrier Matrix is applicable only to those events that occur at Mode 4 (Hot Shutdown) or higher.
A. An event that is recognized at Mode 5 (Cold Shutdown) or lower shall not be classified using the Fission Product Barrier Matrix.
- 1.
Reference should be made to the additional enclosures that provide Emergency Action Levels for specific events (e.g., Severe Weather, Fire, Security).
1.4.7 Planned vs. UNPLANNED Events IF THEN 1.5.l 1.5.2 A planned work activity that results in an expected event or condition which meets or exceeds an EAL does NOT warrant an emergency declaration provided that: 1) the activity proceeds as planned, and 2) the plant remains within the limits imposed by the operating license. Such activities include planned work to test, manipulate, repair, maintain or modify a system or component. In these cases, the controls associated with the planning, preparation and execution of the work will ensure that compliance is maintained with all aspects of the operating license provided that the activity proceeds and concludes as expected. Events or conditions of this type may be subject to the reporting requirement of 10 CFR 50. 72 (ref.17).
A transient event should occur, Review the following guidance:
THEN THEN An Emergency Action Level (EAL) identifies a specific duration The Emergency Coordinator/EOF Director assessment concludes that the specified duration is exceeded or will be exceeded, (i.e.;
condition cannot be reasonably corrected before the duration elapses),
Classify the event.
A plant condition exceeding EAL criteria is corrected before the specified duration time is exceeded, The event is NOT classified by that EAL.
A. Review lower severity EALs for possible applicability in these cases.
RP/0/A/1000/001 Page 4 of6 NOTE:
Reporting under 10CFR50.72 may be required for the following step. Such a condition could occur, for example, if a follow up evaluation of an abnormal condition uncovers evidence that the condition was more severe than earlier believed.
1.5.3 1.5.4 THEN A plant condition exceeding EAL criteria is not recognized at the time of occurrence, but is identified well after the condition has occurred (e.g.; as a result of routine log or record review)
The condition no longer exists, An emergency shall NOT be declared.
Refer to AD-LS-ALL-0006 (Notification/Reportability Evaluation) for reportability An emergency classification was warranted, but the plant condition has been corrected prior to declaration and notification THEN The Emergency Coordinator must consider the potential that the initiating condition (e.g.; Failure of Reactor Protection System) may have caused plant damage that warrants augmenting the on shift personnel through activation of the Emergency Response Organization.
A. IF An Unusual Event condition exists, THEN Make the classification as required.
- 1.
B. IF The event may be terminated in the same notification or as a separate termination notification.
An Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency condition exists, THEN Make the classification as required, AND Activate the Emergency Response Organization.
1.6 Emergency conditions shall be classified as soon as the Emergency Coordinator/EOF Director assessment determines that the Emergency Action Levels for the Initiating Condition have been exceeded.
- 2. Immediate Actions 2.1 Assessment, classification and declaration of any applicable emergency condition should be completed within 15 minutes after the availability of indications or information to cognizant facility staff that an EAL threshold has been exceeded.
RP/0/ All 000/001 Page 5of6 2.2 Determine the operating mode that existed at the time the event occurred prior to any protection system or operator action initiated in response to the event.
2.3 The unit is at Mode 4 (Hot Shutdown) or higher AND The condition/event affects fission product barriers, THEN GO TO Enclosure 4.1, (Fission Product Barrier Matrix).
2.3.1 Review the criteria listed in Enclosure 4.1, (Fission Product Barrier Matrix) and make the determination ifthe event should be classified).
2.4 Review the listing of enclosures to determine if the event is applicable to one of the categories shown.
2.5 2.4.l One or more categories are applicable to the event, THEN
. Refer to the associated enclosures.
2.4.2 Review the EALs and determine if the event should be classified.
THEN A. IF An EAL is applicable to the event, THEN Classify the event as required.
The condition requires an emergency classification, Initiate the following:
- for Control Room - RP/01All000/002, (Control Room Emergency Coordinator Procedure)
- for TSC - RP/O/A/1000/019, (Technical Support Center Emergency Coordinator Procedure)
- for EOF - SR/O/A/2000/003, (Activation of the Emergency Operations Facility) 2.6 Continue to review the emergency conditions to assure the current classification continues to be applicable.

.10 Definitions/ Acronyms
- 1. List of Definitions and Acronyms NOTE:
Definitions are italicized throughout procedure for easy recognition.
RP/0/A/1000/001 Page 1of5 1.1 ALERT - Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that invo Ives probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.
1.2 BOMB - Refers to an explosive device suspected of having sufficient force to damage plant systems or structures.
1.3 COGNIZANT FACILITY STAFF - any member of facility staff, who by virtue of training and experience, is qualified to assess the indications or reports for validity and to compare the same to the EALs in the licensee's emergency classification scheme. (Does not include staff whose positions require they report, rather than assess, abnormal conditions to the facility.)
1.4 CIVIL DISTURBANCE - A group of persons violently protesting station operations or activities at the site.
1.5 EXPLOSION - A rapid, violent, unconfined combustion, or catastrophic failure of pressurized/energized equipment that imparts energy of sufficient force to potentially damage permanent structures, systems, or components.
1.6 EXTORTION - An attempt to cause an action at the station by threat of force.
- 1. 7 FIRE - Combustion characterized by heat and ~ight. Sources of smoke, such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment, do NOT constitute fires. Observation of flames is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed.
1.8 FRESHLY OFF-LOADED CORE -The complete removal and relocation of all fuel assemblies from the reactor core and placed in the spent fuel pool. (Typical of a "No Mode" operation during a refuel outage that allows safety system maintenance to occur and results in maximum decay heat load in the spent fuel pool system).
1.9 GENERAL EMERGENCY - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guidelines exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate area.
1.10 HOSTAGE - A person(s) held as leverage against the station to ensure demands will be met by the station.
.10 Definitions/ Acronyms RP /0 I All 000/001 Page 2of5 1.11 HOSTILE ACTION - An act toward an NPP or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, takes HOSTAGES, and/or intimidates the licensee to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land, or water using guns, explosives, PROJECTILES,.
vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. HOSTILE ACTION should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the NPP. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities, (e.g., violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area.)
1.12 HOSTILE FORCE - One or more individuals who are engaged in a determined assault,.
overtly or by stealth and deception, equipped with suitable weapons capable of killing, maiming, or causing destruction.
1.13 IMMINENT - Mitigation actions have been ineffective, additional actions are not expected to be successful, and trended information indicates that the event or condition will occur. Where IMMINENT timeframes are specified, they shall apply.
1.14 IMMINENT FAILURE (CONDITION A)-The IMMINENT FAILURE emergency level indicates that time has run out, and the dam has failed, is failing or is about to fail.
IMMINENT FAIL URE typically involves a continuing and progressive loss of material from the dam. It is NOT usually possible to determine how long a complete breach of a dam will take. Therefore, once a decision is made that there is no time to prevent failure, the IMMINENT FAIL URE warning must be issued. For purposes of evacuation, emergency management authorities should assume the worst-case condition that failure has already occured. (Ref; Jocassee Hydro Station - Emergency Action Plan) 1.15 INTRUSION -A person(s) present in a specified area without authorization. Discovery of a BOMB in a specified area is indication ofINTRUSION into that area by a HOSTILE FORCE.
1.16 INABILITY TO DIRECTLY MONITOR - Operational Aid Computer data points are unavailable or gauges/panel indications are NOT readily available to the operator.
1.17 LOSS OF POWER - Emergency Action Levels (EALs) apply to the ability of electrical energy to perform its intended function, reach its intended equipment. Ex. -If both MFBs, are energized but all 4160v switchgear is not available, the electrical energy can not reach the motors intended. The result to the plant is the same as if both MFBs were de-energized.
1.18 POTENTIAL FAILURE (CONDITION B)-The POTENTIAL FAILURE emergency level indicates that conditions are developing at the dam that could lead to a dam failure.
Some examples are (1) rising reservoir levels that are approaching the top of the non-overflow section of the dam, (2) transverse cracking of an embankment, and (3) a verified bomb threat.
POTENTIAL FAIL URE should convey that time is available for analyses, decisions and actions before the dam could fail. A failure may occur, but predetermined response actions may moderate or alleviate failure. (Ref; Jocassee Hydro Station - Emergency Action Plan) 1.19 PROJECTILE - An object directed toward a NPP that could cause concern for its continued operability, reliability, or personnel safety.
1.20 PROTECTED AREA - Typically the site specific area which normally encompasses all controlled areas within the security PROTECTED AREA fence.
.10 Definitions/ Acronyms RP/0/Nl000/001 Page 3of5 1.21 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM (RCS) LEAKAGE - RCS Operational Leakage as defined in the Technical Specification Basis B 3.4.13:

LEAKAGE, such as that from pump seals, gaskets, or valve packing (except RCP seal water injection or leakoff), that is captured and conducted to collection systems or a sump or collecting tank; LEAKAGE through a steam generator (SG) to the Secondary System (primary to secondary LEAKAGE): Primary to secondary LEAKAGE must be included in the total calculated for identified LEAKAGE.
B. Unidentified LEAKAGE All LEAKAGE (except RCP seal water injection or leakoff) that is not identified LEAKAGE.
C. Pressure Boundary LEAKAGE LEAKAGE (except primary to secondary LEAKAGE) through a nonisolable fault in an RCS component body, pipe wall or vessel wall.
1.22 RUPTURED (As relates to Steam Generator) - Existence of Primary to Secondary leakage of a magnitude sufficient to require or cause a reactor trip and safety injection.
1.23 SABOTAGE - Deliberate damage, mis-alignment, or mis-operation of plant equipment with the intent to render the equipment inoperable. Equipment found tampered with or damaged due to malicious mischief may not meet the definition of SABOTAGE until this determination is made by security supervision.
1.24 SECURITY CONDITION - Any Security Event as listed in the approved security contingency plan that constitutes a threat/compromise to site security, threat/risk to site personnel, or a potential degradation to the level of safety of the plant. A SECURITY CONDITION does not involve a HOSTILE ACTION.
1.25 SAFETY-RELATED SYSTEMS AREA-Any area within the Protected area which contains equipment, systems, components, or material, the failure, destruction, or release of which could directly or indirectly endanger the public health and safety by exposure to radiation.

Any releases are NOT expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the Site Boundary.
- 1.29 SITE BOUNDARY - That area, including the Protected Area, in which DPC has the authority to control all activities including exclusion or removal of personnel and property (1 mile radius from the center of Unit 2).\\
1.3 0 TOXIC GAS - A gas that is dangerous to life or health by reason of inhalation or skin contact (e.g.; Chlorine).
1.31 UNCONTROLLED - Event is not the result of planned actions by the plant staff.
1.32 UNPLANNED -
An event or action is UNPLANNED if it is not the expected result of normal operations, testing, or maintenance. Events that result in corrective or mitigative actions being taken in accordance with abnormal or emergency procedures are UNPLANNED.
1.33 UNUSUAL EVENT - Events are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring off site response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
- 1.34 VALID - An indication or report or condition is considered to be VALID when it is conclusively verified by: (1) an instrument channel check; or, (2) indications on related or redundant instrumentation; or, (3) by direct observation by plant personnel such that doubt related to the instrument's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit with this definition is the need for timely assessment.

.12 Instructions For Using Enclosure 4.1 RP /0 I All 0001001 Page I of2
- 1. Instructions For Using Enclosure 4.1 - Fission Product Barrier Matrix I.1 If the unit was at Hot SID or above, (Modes 1, 2, 3, or 4) and one or more fission product barriers have been affected, refer to Enclosure 4. I, (Fission Product Barrier Matrix) and review the criteria listed to determine ifthe event should be classified.
I. I. I For each Fission Product Barrier, review the associated EALs to determine ifthere is a Loss or Potential Loss of that barrier.
NOTE:
An event with multiple events could occur which would result in the conclusion that exceeding the loss or potential loss thresholds is imminent (i.e. within 1-3 hours). In this situation, use judgment and classify as if the thresholds are exceeded.
I.2 Three possible outcomes exist for each barrier. No challenge, potential loss, or loss.
Use the worst case for each barrier and the classification table at the bottom of the page to determine appropriate classification.
I.3 The numbers in parentheses out beside the label for each column can be used to assist in determining the classification. If no EAL is met for a given barrier, that barrier will have 0 points. The points for the columns are as follows:
Barrier Failure Points RCS Potential Loss 4
Loss 5
Fuel Clad Potential Loss 4
Loss 5
Containment Potential Loss 1
Loss 3
I.3. I To determine the classification, add the highest point value for each barrier to determine a total for all barriers. Compare this total point value with the numbers in parentheses beside each classification to see which one applies.
.12 RP 10 I All 0001001 Instructions For Using Enclosure 4.1 Page 2of2 1.3.2 Finally as a verification of your decision, look below the Emergency Classification you selected. The loss and/or potential loss EALs selected for each barrier should be described by one of the bullet statements.
EXAMPLE: Failure to properly isolate a 'B' MS Line Rupture outside containment, results in extremely severe overcooling.
Barrier RCS Fuel Clad Containment PTS entry conditions were satisfied.
Stresses on the 'B' S/G resulted in failure of multiple S/G tubes.
RCS leakage through the S/G exceeds available makeup capacity as indicated by loss of subcooling margin.
EAL Failure Points SGTR > Makeup capacity of one HPI pump in Potential Loss 4
normal makeup mode with letdown isolated Entry into PTS operating range Potential Loss 4
RCS leak rate> available makeup capacity as Loss 5
indicated by a loss of subcooling No EALs met and no justification for No 0
classification on judgment Challenge Failure of secondary side of SG results in a Loss 3
direct opening to the environment RCS _2_ +Fuel _Q_ + Containment __J__ =Total ___B.
A. Even though two Potential Loss EALs and one Loss EAL are met for the RCS barrier, credit is only taken for the worst case (highest point value) EAL, so the points from this barrier equal 5.
B. No EAL is satisfied for the Fuel Clad Barrier so the points for this barrier equal 0.
C. One Loss EAL is met for the Containment Barrier so the points for this barrier equal 3.
D. When the total points are calculated the result is 8, therefore the classification would be a Site Area Emergency.
E. Look in the box below "Site Area Emergency". You have identified a loss of two barriers. This agrees with one of the bullet statements.
The classification is correct.

If the emergency plan, modified as proposed, no longer complies with planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements in Appendix E to 1 O CFR Part 50, then ensure the change is rejected, modified, or processed as an exemption request under 10 CFR 50.12, Specific Exemptions, rather than under 10 CFR 50.54(q):
Regulations 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4) states 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, and State and local response plans call for reliance on information provided by facility licensees for determin.ations of minimum initial offsite response measures.
10 CFR App E.IV.C.2 states (in part) By June 20, 2012, nuclear power reactor licensees shall establish and maintain the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded and shall promptly declare the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level NUREG-0654, Criterion 0.1 and 0.2
- 1. An emergency classification and emergency action level scheme as set forth in Appendix 1 must be established by the licensee. The specific instruments, parameters or equipment status shall be shown for establishing each
/"
ergency class, in the in-plant emergency procedures. The plan shall Identify the parameter val.ues and uipment status for each emergency class.
- 2. The initiating conditions shall include the example conditions found in Appendix 1 and all postulated accidents in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) for the nuclear facility.
Compliance Change 1 added the step to provide the EC/SM with clarifying information to consider when reviewing IC/EAL's for planned evolutions which would not warrant an emergency declaration.
Change 2 adds terminology to Condition 'A' and 'B' that will be changing in 2016. The terminology 'Imminent Failure' and 'Potential Failure' are currently in the definitions of Condition 'A' and 'B'. Changes to the terms are a result of a change driven by FERC Hydro to more descriptive terms used to describe the status a dams when communicating to Offsite Response Organizations.
The ONS Emergency Plan has been previously evaluated to comply with regulations and guidance for emergency classification. Due to FERC initiative; the Division of Dam Safety and Inspections, Office of Energy Projects, has finalized revisions to chapter 6 of the Engineering Guidelines for Emergency Action Plans. Terminology was modified to be consistent with the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program(HSEEP). The IC/EAL scheme has not changed but* information has been added that will enhance the EC/SM's ability to classify in a timely manner when notified by Duke Hydro of events that could lead to event declaration using the new terms under the FERC guidelines for Hydro Emergency Action Plans. Additionally, information is being provided for consideration when evaluating planned events that meet IC/EAL criteria that would conservatively not warrant an event declaration. The procedure, as revised, continues to comply with regulations and commitments.

This procedure is an implementing procedure to the Oconee Nuclear Site Emergency P Ian and must be:
Reviewed in accordance with 1 OCFR50.54( q) by Emergency Preparedness prior to approval.
Cross Disciplinary Reviewed by Operations Forwarded to Emergency Preparedness within seven (7) working days of approval.
- 1. Symptoms 1.1 This procedure describes the immediate actions to be taken to recognize and classify an emergency condition.
1.2 This procedure identifies the four emergency classifications and their corresponding Emergency Action Levels (EALs).
1.3 This procedure provides reporting requirements for non-emergency abnormal events.
1.4 The following guidance is to be used _by the Emergency Coordinator/EOF Director in assessing emergency conditions:
1.4.1 Definitions and Acronyms are italicized throughout procedure for easy recognition. The definitions are in Enclosure 4.10 (Definitions/Acronyms).
1.4,.2 The Emergency Coordinator/EOF Director shall review all applicable
- initiating events to ensure proper classification.
1.4.3 The BASIS Document (Volume A, Section D of the Emergency Plan) is available for review if any questions arise over proper classification.
1.4.4 IF,
THEN An event occurs on mote than one unit concurrently, The event with the higher classification will be classified on the Emergency Notification Form.
A. Information relating to the problem(s) on the other unit(s) will be captured on the Emergency Notification Form as shown in RP/O/A/1000/015A, (Offsite Communications From The Control Room),
RP/O/A/1000/015B, (Offsite Communications From The Technical Support Center) or SR/O/A/2000/004, (Notification to States and Counties from the Emergency Operations Facility):
1.5 1.4.5 THEN An event occurs, RP/0/A/1000/001 Page 3of6 A lower or higher plant operating mode is reached before the classification can be made, The classification shall be based on the mode that existed at the time the event occurred.
1.4.6 The Fission Product Barrier Matrix is applicable only to those events that occur at Mode 4 (Hot Shutdown) or higher.
A. An event that is recognized at Mode 5 (Cold Shutdown) or lower shall not be classified using the Fission Product Barrier Matrix.
- 1.
Reference should be made to the additional enclosures that provide Emergency Action Levels for specific events (e.g., Severe Weather, Fire, Security).
1.4.7 Planned vs. UNPLANNED Events IF THEN 1.5.l 1.5.2 A planned work activity that results in an expected event or condition which meets or exceeds an EAL does NOT warrant an emergency declaration provided that: 1) the activity proceeds as planned, and 2) the plant remains within the limits imposed by the operating license. Such activities include planned work to test, manipulate, repair, maintain or modify a system or component. In these cases, the controls associated with the planning, preparation and execution of the work will ensure that compliance is maintained with all aspects of the operating license provided that the activity proceeds and concludes as expected. Events or conditions of this type may be subject to the reporting requirement of 10 CFR 50. 72 (ref.17).
A transient event should occur, Review the following guidance:
THEN THEN An Emergency Action Level (EAL) identifies a specific duration The Emergency Coordinator/EOF Director assessment concludes that the specified duration is exceeded or will be exceeded, (i.e.;
condition cannot be reasonably corrected before the duration elapses),
Classify the event.
A plant condition exceeding EAL criteria is corrected before the specified duration time is exceeded, The event is NOT classified by that EAL.
A. Review lower severity EALs for possible applicability in these cases.
RP/0/A/1000/001 Page 4 of6 NOTE:
Reporting under 10CFR50.72 may be required for the following step. Such a condition could occur, for example, if a follow up evaluation of an abnormal condition uncovers evidence that the condition was more severe than earlier believed.
1.5.3 1.5.4 THEN A plant condition exceeding EAL criteria is not recognized at the time of occurrence, but is identified well after the condition has occurred (e.g.; as a result of routine log or record review)
The condition no longer exists, An emergency shall NOT be declared.
Refer to AD-LS-ALL-0006 (Notification/Reportability Evaluation) for reportability An emergency classification was warranted, but the plant condition has been corrected prior to declaration and notification THEN The Emergency Coordinator must consider the potential that the initiating condition (e.g.; Failure of Reactor Protection System) may have caused plant damage that warrants augmenting the on shift personnel through activation of the Emergency Response Organization.
A. IF An Unusual Event condition exists, THEN Make the classification as required.
- 1.
B. IF The event may be terminated in the same notification or as a separate termination notification.
An Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency condition exists, THEN Make the classification as required, AND Activate the Emergency Response Organization.
1.6 Emergency conditions shall be classified as soon as the Emergency Coordinator/EOF Director assessment determines that the Emergency Action Levels for the Initiating Condition have been exceeded.
- 2. Immediate Actions 2.1 Assessment, classification and declaration of any applicable emergency condition should be completed within 15 minutes after the availability of indications or information to cognizant facility staff that an EAL threshold has been exceeded.
RP/0/ All 000/001 Page 5of6 2.2 Determine the operating mode that existed at the time the event occurred prior to any protection system or operator action initiated in response to the event.
2.3 The unit is at Mode 4 (Hot Shutdown) or higher AND The condition/event affects fission product barriers, THEN GO TO Enclosure 4.1, (Fission Product Barrier Matrix).
2.3.1 Review the criteria listed in Enclosure 4.1, (Fission Product Barrier Matrix) and make the determination ifthe event should be classified).
2.4 Review the listing of enclosures to determine if the event is applicable to one of the categories shown.
2.5 2.4.l One or more categories are applicable to the event, THEN
. Refer to the associated enclosures.
2.4.2 Review the EALs and determine if the event should be classified.
THEN A. IF An EAL is applicable to the event, THEN Classify the event as required.
The condition requires an emergency classification, Initiate the following:
- for Control Room - RP/01All000/002, (Control Room Emergency Coordinator Procedure)
- for TSC - RP/O/A/1000/019, (Technical Support Center Emergency Coordinator Procedure)
- for EOF - SR/O/A/2000/003, (Activation of the Emergency Operations Facility) 2.6 Continue to review the emergency conditions to assure the current classification continues to be applicable.

.10 Definitions/ Acronyms
- 1. List of Definitions and Acronyms NOTE:
Definitions are italicized throughout procedure for easy recognition.
RP/0/A/1000/001 Page 1of5 1.1 ALERT - Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that invo Ives probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.
1.2 BOMB - Refers to an explosive device suspected of having sufficient force to damage plant systems or structures.
1.3 COGNIZANT FACILITY STAFF - any member of facility staff, who by virtue of training and experience, is qualified to assess the indications or reports for validity and to compare the same to the EALs in the licensee's emergency classification scheme. (Does not include staff whose positions require they report, rather than assess, abnormal conditions to the facility.)
1.4 CIVIL DISTURBANCE - A group of persons violently protesting station operations or activities at the site.
1.5 EXPLOSION - A rapid, violent, unconfined combustion, or catastrophic failure of pressurized/energized equipment that imparts energy of sufficient force to potentially damage permanent structures, systems, or components.
1.6 EXTORTION - An attempt to cause an action at the station by threat of force.
- 1. 7 FIRE - Combustion characterized by heat and ~ight. Sources of smoke, such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment, do NOT constitute fires. Observation of flames is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed.
1.8 FRESHLY OFF-LOADED CORE -The complete removal and relocation of all fuel assemblies from the reactor core and placed in the spent fuel pool. (Typical of a "No Mode" operation during a refuel outage that allows safety system maintenance to occur and results in maximum decay heat load in the spent fuel pool system).
1.9 GENERAL EMERGENCY - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guidelines exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate area.
1.10 HOSTAGE - A person(s) held as leverage against the station to ensure demands will be met by the station.
.10 Definitions/ Acronyms RP /0 I All 000/001 Page 2of5 1.11 HOSTILE ACTION - An act toward an NPP or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, takes HOSTAGES, and/or intimidates the licensee to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land, or water using guns, explosives, PROJECTILES,.
vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. HOSTILE ACTION should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the NPP. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities, (e.g., violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area.)
1.12 HOSTILE FORCE - One or more individuals who are engaged in a determined assault,.
overtly or by stealth and deception, equipped with suitable weapons capable of killing, maiming, or causing destruction.
1.13 IMMINENT - Mitigation actions have been ineffective, additional actions are not expected to be successful, and trended information indicates that the event or condition will occur. Where IMMINENT timeframes are specified, they shall apply.
1.14 IMMINENT FAILURE (CONDITION A)-The IMMINENT FAILURE emergency level indicates that time has run out, and the dam has failed, is failing or is about to fail.
IMMINENT FAIL URE typically involves a continuing and progressive loss of material from the dam. It is NOT usually possible to determine how long a complete breach of a dam will take. Therefore, once a decision is made that there is no time to prevent failure, the IMMINENT FAIL URE warning must be issued. For purposes of evacuation, emergency management authorities should assume the worst-case condition that failure has already occured. (Ref; Jocassee Hydro Station - Emergency Action Plan) 1.15 INTRUSION -A person(s) present in a specified area without authorization. Discovery of a BOMB in a specified area is indication ofINTRUSION into that area by a HOSTILE FORCE.
1.16 INABILITY TO DIRECTLY MONITOR - Operational Aid Computer data points are unavailable or gauges/panel indications are NOT readily available to the operator.
1.17 LOSS OF POWER - Emergency Action Levels (EALs) apply to the ability of electrical energy to perform its intended function, reach its intended equipment. Ex. -If both MFBs, are energized but all 4160v switchgear is not available, the electrical energy can not reach the motors intended. The result to the plant is the same as if both MFBs were de-energized.
1.18 POTENTIAL FAILURE (CONDITION B)-The POTENTIAL FAILURE emergency level indicates that conditions are developing at the dam that could lead to a dam failure.
Some examples are (1) rising reservoir levels that are approaching the top of the non-overflow section of the dam, (2) transverse cracking of an embankment, and (3) a verified bomb threat.
POTENTIAL FAIL URE should convey that time is available for analyses, decisions and actions before the dam could fail. A failure may occur, but predetermined response actions may moderate or alleviate failure. (Ref; Jocassee Hydro Station - Emergency Action Plan) 1.19 PROJECTILE - An object directed toward a NPP that could cause concern for its continued operability, reliability, or personnel safety.
1.20 PROTECTED AREA - Typically the site specific area which normally encompasses all controlled areas within the security PROTECTED AREA fence.
.10 Definitions/ Acronyms RP/0/Nl000/001 Page 3of5 1.21 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM (RCS) LEAKAGE - RCS Operational Leakage as defined in the Technical Specification Basis B 3.4.13:

LEAKAGE, such as that from pump seals, gaskets, or valve packing (except RCP seal water injection or leakoff), that is captured and conducted to collection systems or a sump or collecting tank; LEAKAGE through a steam generator (SG) to the Secondary System (primary to secondary LEAKAGE): Primary to secondary LEAKAGE must be included in the total calculated for identified LEAKAGE.
B. Unidentified LEAKAGE All LEAKAGE (except RCP seal water injection or leakoff) that is not identified LEAKAGE.
C. Pressure Boundary LEAKAGE LEAKAGE (except primary to secondary LEAKAGE) through a nonisolable fault in an RCS component body, pipe wall or vessel wall.
1.22 RUPTURED (As relates to Steam Generator) - Existence of Primary to Secondary leakage of a magnitude sufficient to require or cause a reactor trip and safety injection.
1.23 SABOTAGE - Deliberate damage, mis-alignment, or mis-operation of plant equipment with the intent to render the equipment inoperable. Equipment found tampered with or damaged due to malicious mischief may not meet the definition of SABOTAGE until this determination is made by security supervision.
1.24 SECURITY CONDITION - Any Security Event as listed in the approved security contingency plan that constitutes a threat/compromise to site security, threat/risk to site personnel, or a potential degradation to the level of safety of the plant. A SECURITY CONDITION does not involve a HOSTILE ACTION.
1.25 SAFETY-RELATED SYSTEMS AREA-Any area within the Protected area which contains equipment, systems, components, or material, the failure, destruction, or release of which could directly or indirectly endanger the public health and safety by exposure to radiation.

Any releases are NOT expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the Site Boundary.
- 1.29 SITE BOUNDARY - That area, including the Protected Area, in which DPC has the authority to control all activities including exclusion or removal of personnel and property (1 mile radius from the center of Unit 2).\\
1.3 0 TOXIC GAS - A gas that is dangerous to life or health by reason of inhalation or skin contact (e.g.; Chlorine).
1.31 UNCONTROLLED - Event is not the result of planned actions by the plant staff.
1.32 UNPLANNED -
An event or action is UNPLANNED if it is not the expected result of normal operations, testing, or maintenance. Events that result in corrective or mitigative actions being taken in accordance with abnormal or emergency procedures are UNPLANNED.
1.33 UNUSUAL EVENT - Events are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring off site response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
- 1.34 VALID - An indication or report or condition is considered to be VALID when it is conclusively verified by: (1) an instrument channel check; or, (2) indications on related or redundant instrumentation; or, (3) by direct observation by plant personnel such that doubt related to the instrument's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit with this definition is the need for timely assessment.

.12 Instructions For Using Enclosure 4.1 RP /0 I All 0001001 Page I of2
- 1. Instructions For Using Enclosure 4.1 - Fission Product Barrier Matrix I.1 If the unit was at Hot SID or above, (Modes 1, 2, 3, or 4) and one or more fission product barriers have been affected, refer to Enclosure 4. I, (Fission Product Barrier Matrix) and review the criteria listed to determine ifthe event should be classified.
I. I. I For each Fission Product Barrier, review the associated EALs to determine ifthere is a Loss or Potential Loss of that barrier.
NOTE:
An event with multiple events could occur which would result in the conclusion that exceeding the loss or potential loss thresholds is imminent (i.e. within 1-3 hours). In this situation, use judgment and classify as if the thresholds are exceeded.
I.2 Three possible outcomes exist for each barrier. No challenge, potential loss, or loss.
Use the worst case for each barrier and the classification table at the bottom of the page to determine appropriate classification.
I.3 The numbers in parentheses out beside the label for each column can be used to assist in determining the classification. If no EAL is met for a given barrier, that barrier will have 0 points. The points for the columns are as follows:
Barrier Failure Points RCS Potential Loss 4
Loss 5
Fuel Clad Potential Loss 4
Loss 5
Containment Potential Loss 1
Loss 3
I.3. I To determine the classification, add the highest point value for each barrier to determine a total for all barriers. Compare this total point value with the numbers in parentheses beside each classification to see which one applies.
.12 RP 10 I All 0001001 Instructions For Using Enclosure 4.1 Page 2of2 1.3.2 Finally as a verification of your decision, look below the Emergency Classification you selected. The loss and/or potential loss EALs selected for each barrier should be described by one of the bullet statements.
EXAMPLE: Failure to properly isolate a 'B' MS Line Rupture outside containment, results in extremely severe overcooling.
Barrier RCS Fuel Clad Containment PTS entry conditions were satisfied.
Stresses on the 'B' S/G resulted in failure of multiple S/G tubes.
RCS leakage through the S/G exceeds available makeup capacity as indicated by loss of subcooling margin.
EAL Failure Points SGTR > Makeup capacity of one HPI pump in Potential Loss 4
normal makeup mode with letdown isolated Entry into PTS operating range Potential Loss 4
RCS leak rate> available makeup capacity as Loss 5
indicated by a loss of subcooling No EALs met and no justification for No 0
classification on judgment Challenge Failure of secondary side of SG results in a Loss 3
direct opening to the environment RCS _2_ +Fuel _Q_ + Containment __J__ =Total ___B.
A. Even though two Potential Loss EALs and one Loss EAL are met for the RCS barrier, credit is only taken for the worst case (highest point value) EAL, so the points from this barrier equal 5.
B. No EAL is satisfied for the Fuel Clad Barrier so the points for this barrier equal 0.
C. One Loss EAL is met for the Containment Barrier so the points for this barrier equal 3.
D. When the total points are calculated the result is 8, therefore the classification would be a Site Area Emergency.
E. Look in the box below "Site Area Emergency". You have identified a loss of two barriers. This agrees with one of the bullet statements.
The classification is correct.
