These events present radiological safety challenges to plantpersonnel and are precursors to a release of radioactivity to the environment. As such,they represent an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of theplant.This IC applies to irradiated fuel that is licensed for dry storage up to the point that theloaded storage cask is sealed. Once sealed, damage to a loaded cask causing loss ofthe CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY is classified in accordance with IC E-HU1.Escalation of the emergency would be based on either Recognition Category AR or CICs.EAL #1 Basis:This EAL escalates from RAU2 in that the loss of level, in the affected portion of theREFUELING PATHWAY, is of sufficient magnitude to have resulted in uncovery ofirradiated fuel. Indications of irradiated fuel uncovery may include direct or indirect visualobservation (e.g., reports from personnel or camera images), as well as significantchanges in water and radiation levels, or other plant parameters. Computational aidsmay also be used (e.g., a boil-off curve). Classification of an event using this EAL shouldbe based on the totality of available indications, reports and observations.While an area radiation monitor could detect an iGF-easerise in a dose rate due to alowering of water level in some portion of the REFUELING PATHWAY, the reading maynot be a reliable indication of whether or not the fuel is actually uncovered. To the degreepossible, readings should be considered in combination with other available indications ofinventory loss.A drop in water level above irradiated fuel within the reactor vessel may be classified inaccordance Recognition Category C during the Cold Shutdown and Refueling modes.Month 20XXLGS 3-14EP-AA-1008 (Revision XX) | |||

Even though theRCS is being vented into the suppression pool, a Loss of the RCS barrier exists due tothe diminished effectiveness of the RCS to retain fission products within its boundary.Potential Loss Threshold- #3 Basis 3-.APotential loss of RCS based on primary system leakage outside the primarycontainment is determined from EOP temperature or radiation Max Normal Operatingvalues in areas such as main steam line tunnel, RCIC, HPCI, etc., which indicate adirect path from the RCS to areas outside primary containment.A Max Normal Operating value is the highest value of the identified parameter expectedto occur during normal plant operating conditions with all directly associated supportand control systems functioning properly.The indicators reaching the threshold barriers and confirmed to be caused by RCSleakage from a primary system warrant an Alert classification. A primary system isdefined to be the pipes, valves, and other equipment which connect directly to the RPVsuch that a reduction in RPV pressure will effect a decrease in the steam or water beingdischarged through an unisolated break in the system.In general, multiple indications should be used to determine if a primary system isdischarging outside Primary Containment. For example, a high area radiation conditiondoes not necessarily indicate that a primary system is discharging into the ReactorBuilding since this may be caused by radiation shine from nearby steam lines or themovement of radioactive materials. Conversely, a high area radiation condition inconjunction with other indications (e.g. room flooding, high area temperatures, reports ofsteam in the Reactor Building, an unexpected rise in Feedwater flowrate, or unexpectedMain Turbine Control Valve closure) may indicate that a primary system is discharginginto the Reactor Building.An UNISOLABLE leak which is indicated by Max Normal Operating values escalates toa Site Area Emergency when combined with Containment Barrier CT6 Loss tThreshold#13,A (after a containment isolation) and a General Emergency when the Fuel CladBarrier criteria is also exceeded.Month 20XXLGS 3-35EP-AA-1008 (Revision XX) | |||

Examples includeunisolable Main Steamline, HPCI or RCIC steamline breaks, unisolable RWCU systembreaks, and unisolable containment atmosphere vent paths.Examples of "downstream pathway to the environment" could be through theTurbine/Condenser, or direct release to the Turbine or Reactor Building.The existence of a filter is not considered in the threshold assessment. Filters do notremove fission product noble gases. In addition, a filter could become ineffective due toiodine and/or particulate loading beyond design limits (i.e., retention ability has beenexceeded) or water saturation from steam/high humidity in the release stream.Month 20XXLGS 3-43EP-AA-1008 (Revision XX) | |||

Under theseconditions with a valid primary containment isolation signal, the containment should alsobe considered lost if primary containment venting is actually performed.Intentional venting of primary containment for primary containment pressure orcombustible gas control to the secondary containment and/or the environment is a Lossof the Containment. Venting for primary containment pressure control when not in anaccident situation (e.g., to control pressure below the high pressurescram setpoint) does not meet the threshold condition.Loss 3-,CThreshold #3 BasisThe Max Safe Operating Temperature and the Max Safe Operating Radiation Level areeach the highest value of these parameters at which neither: (1) equipment necessaryfor the safe shutdown of the plant will fail, nor (2) personnel access necessary for thesafe shutdown of the plant will be precluded. EOPs utilize these temperatures andradiation levels to establish conditions under which RPV depressurization is required.The temperatures and radiation levels should be confirmed to be caused by RCSleakage from a primary system. A primary system is defined to be the pipes, valves, andother equipment which connect directly to the RPV such that a reduction in RPVpressure will effect a decrease in the steam or water being discharged through anunisolated break in the system.In general, multiple indications should be used to determine if a primary system isdischarging outside Primary Containment.

This event is a precursor to a more significant conditionand thus represents a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant.EAL #1 BasisFollowing the failure on an automatic reactor scram, operators will promptly initiatemanual actions at the reactor Ge,-,tc! onsoles to shutdown the reactor (e.g., initiate amanual reactor scram). If these manual actions are successful in shutting down thereactor, core heat generation will quickly fall to a level within the capabilities of theplant's decay heat removal systems.Month 20XXLGS 3-61EP-AA-1008 (Revision XX) | |||

Depending uponseveral factors, the initial or subsequent effort to manually scram the reactor, or aconcurrent plant condition, may lead to the generation of an automatic reactor scramsignal. If a subsequent manual or automatic scram/ARI is successful in shutting downthe reactor, core heat generation will quickly fall to a level within the capabilities of theplant's decay heat removal systems.A manual action at the reactor GG.-.r consoles is any operator action, or set of actions,which causes the control rods to be rapidly inserted into the core (e.g., initiating amanual reactor scram). This action does not include manually driving in control rods orimplementation of boron injection strategies. Actions taken at back-panels or otherlocations within the Control Room, or any location outside the Control Room, are notconsidered to be "at the reactor e,,tr-el consoles".Taking the Reactor Mode Switch to Shutdown is considered to be a manual scramaction.The plant response to the failure of an automatic or manual reactor tscram will varybased upon several factors including the reactor power level prior to the event,availability of the condenser, performance of mitigation equipment and actions, otherconcurrent plant conditions, etc. If subsequent operator manual actions taken at thereactor GGAFGI consoles are also unsuccessful in shutting down the reactor, then theemergency classification level will escalate to an Alert via IC MSA35. Depending uponthe plant response, escalation is also possible via IC FAI. Absent the plant conditionsneeded to meet either IC MA35 or FA1, an Unusual Event declaration is appropriatefor this event.A reactor shutdown is determined in accordance with applicable Emergency OperatingProcedure criteria.Should a reactor scram signal be generated as a result of plant work (e.g., RPS setpointtesting), the following classification guidance should be applied." If the signal generated as a result of plant work causes a plant transient that createsa real condition that should have included an automatic reactor scram and the RPSfails to automatically shutdown the reactor, then this IC and the EALs are applicable,and should be evaluated." If the signal generated as a result of plant work does not cause a plant transient butshould have generated an RPS scram signal and the scram failure is determinedthrough other means (e.g., assessment of test results), then this IC and the EALsare not applicable and no classification is warranted.Basis Refernce(s):Month 20XXLGS 3-62EP-AA-1008 (Revision XX) | |||

A primary system isdefined to be the pipes, valves, and other equipment which connect directly to the RPVsuch that a reduction in RPV pressure will effect a decrease in the steam or water beingdischarged through an unisolated break in the system.In general, multiple indications should be used to determine if a primary system isdischarging outside Primary Containment. For example, a high area radiation conditiondoes not necessarily indicate that a primary system is discharging into the ReactorBuilding since this may be caused by radiation shine from nearby steam lines or themovement of radioactive materials. Conversely, a high area radiation condition inconjunction with other indications (e.g. room flooding, high area temperatures, reports ofsteam in the Reactor Building, an unexpected rise in Feedwater flowrate, or unexpectedMain Turbine Control Valve closure) may indicate that a primary system is discharginginto the Reactor Building.An UNISOLABLE leak which is indicated by Max Normal Operating values escalates toa Site Area Emergency when combined with Containment Barrier CT6 Loss tThreshold#13,A (after a containment isolation) and a General Emergency when the Fuel CladBarrier criteria is also exceeded.Month 20XXLGS 3-35EP-AA-1008 (Revision XX)

For this condition to exist7 there must already have been a loss of the RCSBarrier and the Fuel Clad Barrier. It is therefore prudent to treat this condition as apotential loss of containment which would then escalate the emergency classificationlevel to a General Emergency.Basis Reference(s):1.

Examples includeunisolable Main Steamline, HPCI or RCIC steamline breaks, unisolable RWCU systembreaks, and unisolable containment atmosphere vent paths.Examples of "downstream pathway to the environment" could be through theTurbine/Condenser, or direct release to the Turbine or Reactor Building.The existence of a filter is not considered in the threshold assessment. Filters do notremove fission product noble gases. In addition, a filter could become ineffective due toiodine and/or particulate loading beyond design limits (i.e., retention ability has beenexceeded) or water saturation from steam/high humidity in the release stream.Month 20XXLGS 3-43EP-AA-1008 (Revision XX)
F=galnn I imaprirk rioarnnrainn tAtninn AnnaY vn mx~c2RECOGNITION CATEGORYFISSION PRODUCT BARRIER DEGRADATIONFollowing the leakage of RCS mass into primary containment and a rise in primarycontainment pressure, there may be minor radiological releases associated withallowable primary containment leakage through various penetrations or systemcomponents. Minor releases may also occur if a primary containment isolation valve(s)fails to close but the primary containment atmosphere escapes to an enclosed system.These releases do not constitute a loss or potential loss of primary containment butshould be evaluated using the Recognition Category A-RICs.Loss 3&BThreshold #2 BasisEOPs may direct primary containment isolation valve logic(s) to be intentionallybypassed, even if offsite radioactivity release rate limits will be exceeded. Under theseconditions with a valid primary containment isolation signal, the containment should alsobe considered lost if primary containment venting is actually performed.Intentional venting of primary containment for primary containment pressure orcombustible gas control to the secondary containment and/or the environment is a Lossof the Containment. Venting for primary containment pressure control when not in anaccident situation (e.g., to control pressure below the high pressurescram setpoint) does not meet the threshold condition.Loss 3-,CThreshold #3 BasisThe Max Safe Operating Temperature and the Max Safe Operating Radiation Level areeach the highest value of these parameters at which neither: (1) equipment necessaryfor the safe shutdown of the plant will fail, nor (2) personnel access necessary for thesafe shutdown of the plant will be precluded. EOPs utilize these temperatures andradiation levels to establish conditions under which RPV depressurization is required.The temperatures and radiation levels should be confirmed to be caused by RCSleakage from a primary system. A primary system is defined to be the pipes, valves, andother equipment which connect directly to the RPV such that a reduction in RPVpressure will effect a decrease in the steam or water being discharged through anunisolated break in the system.In general, multiple indications should be used to determine if a primary system isdischarging outside Primary Containment. For example, a high area radiation conditiondoes not necessarily indicate that a primary system is discharging into the ReactorBuilding since this may be caused by radiation shine from nearby steam lines or themovement of radioactive materials. Conversely, a high area radiation condition inconjunction with other indications (e.g. room flooding, high area temperatures, reports ofsteam in the Reactor Building, an unexpected rise in Feedwater flowrate, or unexpectedMain Turbine Control Valve closure) may indicate that a primary system is discharginginto the Reactor Building.In combination with RCS Barrier RC4 pPotential ILoss Threshold #3 3A this thresholdwould result in a Site Area Emergency.There is no Potential Loss threshold associated with Primary Containment IsolationFailure.Month 20XXLGS 3-44EP-AA-1008 (Revision XX)

If the signal generated as a result of plant work causes a plant transient that createsa real condition that should have included an automatic reactor scram and the RPSfails to automatically shutdown the reactor, then this IC and the EALs are applicable,and should be evaluated." If the signal generated as a result of plant work does not cause a plant transient butshould have generated an RPS scram signal and the scram failure is determinedthrough other means (e.g., assessment of test results), then this IC and the EALsare not applicable and no classification is warranted.Basis Refernce(s):Month 20XXLGS 3-62EP-AA-1008 (Revision XX)

The cause of the parameterchange or event may be known or unknown.SAFETY SYSTEM: A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plantand/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These aretypically systems classified as safety-related.This IC addresses the difficulty associated with monitoring rapidly changing plantconditions during a transient without the ability to obtain SAFETY SYSTEM parametersfrom within the Control Room. During this condition, the margin to a potential fissionproduct barrier challenge is reduced. It thus represents a potential substantialdegradation in the level of safety of the plant.As used in this EAL, an "inability to monitor" means that values for ne er mer-eany of Ithe listed parameters cannot be determined from within the Control Room. Thissituation would require a loss of all of the Control Room sources for the givenparameter(s). For example, the reactor power level cannot be determined from anyanalog, computer point, digital and recorder source within the Control Room.An event involving a loss of plant indications, annunciators and/or display systems isevaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 (and associated guidance in NUREG-1022)to determine if an NRC event report is required. The event would be reported if itsignificantly impaired the capability to perform emergency assessments. In particular,emergency assessments necessary to implement abnormal operating procedures,emergency operating procedures, and emergency plan implementing proceduresaddressing emergency classification, accident assessment, or protective actiondecision-making.This EAL is focused on a selected subset of plant parameters associated with the keysafety functions of reactivity control, RPV-leve!RPV water level and RCS heat removal.Month 20XXLGS 3-65EP-AA-1008 (Revision XX)
