: 5. Luminant Power requests approval to change the CPNPP scheme basis to that described in NEI 99-01, Revision 6," Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors." | |||
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION The Initiating Conditions (ICs) and EALs that comprise the proposed scheme are presented inAttachment | |||
: 2. This matrix provides a cross-reference between each generic IC and EAL contained inNEI 99-01, Revision 6 and the proposed CPNPP-specific IC and EAL. Differences and Deviations areidentified in accordance with the guidance discussed in RIS 2003-18 and Supplements. | |||
The basis foreach Difference is included in Attachment | |||
: 2. There are no Deviations from NEI 99-01, Revision | |||
: 6. Thematrix follows the presentation order of NEI 99-01, Revision 6 -Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological | |||
: Effluent, Cold Shutdown/Refueling System Malfunction, Events Related to Independent Spent FuelStorage Installation (ISFSI), | |||
Fission Product Barrier Degradation, Hazards and Other Conditions Affecting Plant Safety, and System Malfunction. | |||
The Defueled Station section is not used since CPNPPis an operating plant.Differences and Deviations As discussed in Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2003-18, Supplement 1, dated July 13, 2004, differences and deviations are defined as follows:* A difference is an EAL change where the basis scheme guidance differs in wording but agreesin meaning and intent, such that classification of an event would be the same, whether usingthe basis scheme guidance or the site-specific proposed EAL. Examples of differences includethe use of site-specific terminology or administrative re-formatting of site-specific EALs. | |||
Attachment to TXX-15101 Page 3 of 6A deviation is an EAL change where the basis scheme guidance differs in wording and isaltered in meaning or intent, such that classification of the event could be different between thebasis scheme guidance and the site-specific proposed EAL. Examples of deviations include theuse of altered mode applicability, altering key words or time limits, or changing words ofphysical reference (protected area, safety- related equipment, etc.).Attachment 2 identifies each Difference between NEI 99-01 and the final products being evaluated inthis LAR. These differences do not alter the meaning or intent of the ICs or EALs. There are noDeviations between NEI 99-01 and the final products being evaluated in this LAR.Incorporation of Action Level Frequently Asked Questions Where appropriate, information from Emergency Action Level Frequently Asked Questions (EALFAQs) has been incorporated into Attachment 2 and Attachment 3.Related Documents Attachment 3 includes the site-specific Technical Basis Document for each recognition category for theproposed scheme. A Redline and Strikeout version is provided as Attachment | |||
: 4. These documents include appropriate information from the basis information contained in NEI 99-01, Revision 6.Attachment 5 provides the Supporting Calculation for CPNPP EAL Table R-1, "Effluent MonitorClassification Thresholds." | |||
Attachment 6 contains the proposed CPNPP EAL Wallcharts. | |||
Operational Modes and Applicability Mode applicability of the proposed ICs and EALs is consistent with the NEI 99-01, Revision 6 basisscheme. The Operating Modes for CPNPP, as defined in the Technical Specifications, are listed below.MODE TITLE REACTIVITY | |||
% RATED AVERAGE REACTORCONDITION (keff) THERMAL POWER COOLANT TEMPERATURE (F)1 Power Operation | |||
>0.99 >5 NA2 Startup >0.99 <5 NA3 Hot Standby <0.99 NA >3504 Hot Shutdown | |||
<0.99 NA 350>Tavg>200 5 Cold Shutdown | |||
<0.99 NA <2006 Refueling NA NA NAIn addition to these operating modes, NEI 99-01, Revision 6 defines the "Defueled" mode as thecondition present when all reactor fuel is removed from Reactor Vessel (full core off load duringrefueling or an extended outage). | |||
Station procedures recognize this condition as "No Mode."State/Local Government Review of Proposed ChangesLuminant Power interacts periodically with the Texas and local emergency management agencies. | |||
TheState and Local emergency management officials are advised of any EAL changes actuallyimplemented. | |||
In the case of this EAL scheme revision, Luminant Power has committed to review thenew classification scheme to State and Local emergency management officials following NRC approvaland prior to implementation. | |||
Implementation Description Luminant Power plans to implement the proposed emergency classification scheme in the third quarterof 2016. When implemented, the changes to the EALs presented in Attachment 3 will become effective. | |||
Attachment to TXX-15101 Page 4 of 6The EAL Technical Basis Document (Attachment | |||
: 3) will be revised and maintained as a training andbackground reference resource. | |||
Any changes to the approved ICs and EALs will be made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q). | |||
4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION 4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria The regulation in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4) states, "A standard emergency classification and action levelscheme, the bases of which include facility system and effluent parameters, is in use by the nuclearfacility | |||
: licensee, and State and Local response plans call for reliance on information provided by facilitylicensees for determinations of minimunm initial offsite response measures." | |||
10 CFR 50 Appendix E, Section IV, Content of Emergency Plans, item B, Assessment Actions states:1. "The means to be used for determining the magnitude of, and for continually assessing the impact of, the release of radioactive materials shall be described, including emergency action levels that are to be used as criteria for determining the need fornotification and participation of Local and State agencies, the Commission, and otherFederal agencies, and the emergency action levels that are to be used for determining when and what type of protective measures should be considered within and outsidethe site boundary to protect health and safety. The emergency action levels shall bebased on in-plant conditions and instrumentation in addition to onsite and offsitemonitoring. | |||
By June 20, 2012, for nuclear power reactor licensees, these action levelsmust include hostile action that may adversely affect the nuclear power plant. Theinitial emergency action levels shall be discussed and agreed on by the applicant orlicensee and state and local governmental authorities, and approved by the NRC.Thereafter, emergency action levels shall be reviewed with the State and Localgovernmental authorities on an annual basis."2. A licensee desiring to change its entire emergency action level scheme shall submit anapplication for an amendment to its license and receive NRC approval beforeimplementing the change. Licensees shall follow the change process in § 50.54(q) for allother emergency action level changes.Regulatory Guide 1.101, Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors, Revision 4, Section C, Regulatory Position states:"The guidance in NUMARC/NESP-007 (Revision 2, January 1992), "Methodology forDevelopment of Emergency Action Levels," | |||
is acceptable to the NRC staff as analternative method to that described in Appendix 1 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 fordeveloping EALs required in Section IV.B of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 and 10CFR50.47(b)(4). | |||
In addition, the guidance contained in NEI 99-01 (Revision 4, January2003), "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels," | |||
is acceptable tothe NRC staff as an alternative method to that described in Appendix 1 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 and NUMARC/NESP-007 for developing EALs required in SectionIV of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4)." | |||
4.2 No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination Luminant Power has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration (SHC) is warranted with the proposed changes by addressing the three criteria set forth in 10 CFR50.92(c) as discussed below: | |||
Attachment to TXX-15101 Page 5 of 61. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability orconsequences of an accident previously evaluated? | |||
Response: | |||
No.These changes affect the CPNPP Emergency Plan and do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating License or the Technical Specifications. | |||
The proposed changes do notmodify any plant equipment and do not impact any failure modes that could lead to anaccident. | |||
Additionally, the proposed changes do not impact the consequence of anyanalyzed accident since the changes do not affect any equipment related to accidentmitigation. | |||
Based on this discussion, the proposed amendment does not increase theprobability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. | |||
: 2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accidentfrom any accident previously evaluated? | |||
Response: | |||
No.These changes affect the CPNPP Emergency Plan and do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating License or the Technical Specifications. | |||
They do not modify any plantequipment and there is no impact on the capability of the existing equipment to performtheir intended functions. | |||
No system setpoints are being modified and no changes are beingmade to the method in which plant operations are conducted. | |||
No new failure modes areintroduced by the proposed changes. | |||
The proposed amendment does not introduce accident initiators or malfunctions that would cause a new or different kind of accident. | |||
Therefore, the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. | |||
: 3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?Response: | |||
No.These changes affect the CPNPP Emergency Plan and do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating License or the Technical Specifications. | |||
The proposed changes do notaffect any of the assumptions used in the accident | |||
: analysis, nor do they affect anyoperability requirements for equipment important to plant safety. Therefore, the proposedchanges will not result in a significant reduction in the margin of safety as defined in thebases for technical specifications covered in this license amendment request.4.3 Conclusion In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that thehealth and safety of the public will not be endangered by the proposed change in the CPNPP EALScheme, (2) operation of CPNPP will continue to be conducted in compliance with the Commission regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense andsecurity or to the health and safety of the public.5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION Luminant Power has determined that the proposed amendment would not change requirements withrespect to use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined by 10 CFR 20, nor Attachment to TXX-15101 Page 6 of 6would it change inspection or surveillance requirements. | |||
Luminant Power has evaluated the proposedchange and has determined that the change does not involve:I. A Significant Hazards Consideration, II. A significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluentthat may be released off site, orIII. A significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. | |||
Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) and (10)(ii). | |||
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR51.22(b), | |||
no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need beprepared in connection with the proposed amendment. | |||

Fission Product Barrier Degradation, Hazards and Other Conditions Affecting Plant Safety, and System Malfunction.
The Defueled Station section is not used since CPNPPis an operating plant.Differences and Deviations As discussed in Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2003-18, Supplement 1, dated July 13, 2004, differences and deviations are defined as follows:* A difference is an EAL change where the basis scheme guidance differs in wording but agreesin meaning and intent, such that classification of an event would be the same, whether usingthe basis scheme guidance or the site-specific proposed EAL. Examples of differences includethe use of site-specific terminology or administrative re-formatting of site-specific EALs.
Attachment to TXX-15101 Page 3 of 6A deviation is an EAL change where the basis scheme guidance differs in wording and isaltered in meaning or intent, such that classification of the event could be different between thebasis scheme guidance and the site-specific proposed EAL. Examples of deviations include theuse of altered mode applicability, altering key words or time limits, or changing words ofphysical reference (protected area, safety- related equipment, etc.).Attachment 2 identifies each Difference between NEI 99-01 and the final products being evaluated inthis LAR. These differences do not alter the meaning or intent of the ICs or EALs. There are noDeviations between NEI 99-01 and the final products being evaluated in this LAR.Incorporation of Action Level Frequently Asked Questions Where appropriate, information from Emergency Action Level Frequently Asked Questions (EALFAQs) has been incorporated into Attachment 2 and Attachment 3.Related Documents Attachment 3 includes the site-specific Technical Basis Document for each recognition category for theproposed scheme. A Redline and Strikeout version is provided as Attachment
- 4. These documents include appropriate information from the basis information contained in NEI 99-01, Revision 6.Attachment 5 provides the Supporting Calculation for CPNPP EAL Table R-1, "Effluent MonitorClassification Thresholds."
Attachment 6 contains the proposed CPNPP EAL Wallcharts.
Operational Modes and Applicability Mode applicability of the proposed ICs and EALs is consistent with the NEI 99-01, Revision 6 basisscheme. The Operating Modes for CPNPP, as defined in the Technical Specifications, are listed below.MODE TITLE REACTIVITY
% RATED AVERAGE REACTORCONDITION (keff) THERMAL POWER COOLANT TEMPERATURE (F)1 Power Operation
>0.99 >5 NA2 Startup >0.99 <5 NA3 Hot Standby <0.99 NA >3504 Hot Shutdown
<0.99 NA 350>Tavg>200 5 Cold Shutdown
<0.99 NA <2006 Refueling NA NA NAIn addition to these operating modes, NEI 99-01, Revision 6 defines the "Defueled" mode as thecondition present when all reactor fuel is removed from Reactor Vessel (full core off load duringrefueling or an extended outage).
Station procedures recognize this condition as "No Mode."State/Local Government Review of Proposed ChangesLuminant Power interacts periodically with the Texas and local emergency management agencies.
TheState and Local emergency management officials are advised of any EAL changes actuallyimplemented.
In the case of this EAL scheme revision, Luminant Power has committed to review thenew classification scheme to State and Local emergency management officials following NRC approvaland prior to implementation.
Implementation Description Luminant Power plans to implement the proposed emergency classification scheme in the third quarterof 2016. When implemented, the changes to the EALs presented in Attachment 3 will become effective.
Attachment to TXX-15101 Page 4 of 6The EAL Technical Basis Document (Attachment
- 3) will be revised and maintained as a training andbackground reference resource.
Any changes to the approved ICs and EALs will be made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q).
4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION 4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria The regulation in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4) states, "A standard emergency classification and action levelscheme, the bases of which include facility system and effluent parameters, is in use by the nuclearfacility
- licensee, and State and Local response plans call for reliance on information provided by facilitylicensees for determinations of minimunm initial offsite response measures."
10 CFR 50 Appendix E, Section IV, Content of Emergency Plans, item B, Assessment Actions states:1. "The means to be used for determining the magnitude of, and for continually assessing the impact of, the release of radioactive materials shall be described, including emergency action levels that are to be used as criteria for determining the need fornotification and participation of Local and State agencies, the Commission, and otherFederal agencies, and the emergency action levels that are to be used for determining when and what type of protective measures should be considered within and outsidethe site boundary to protect health and safety. The emergency action levels shall bebased on in-plant conditions and instrumentation in addition to onsite and offsitemonitoring.
By June 20, 2012, for nuclear power reactor licensees, these action levelsmust include hostile action that may adversely affect the nuclear power plant. Theinitial emergency action levels shall be discussed and agreed on by the applicant orlicensee and state and local governmental authorities, and approved by the NRC.Thereafter, emergency action levels shall be reviewed with the State and Localgovernmental authorities on an annual basis."2. A licensee desiring to change its entire emergency action level scheme shall submit anapplication for an amendment to its license and receive NRC approval beforeimplementing the change. Licensees shall follow the change process in § 50.54(q) for allother emergency action level changes.Regulatory Guide 1.101, Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors, Revision 4, Section C, Regulatory Position states:"The guidance in NUMARC/NESP-007 (Revision 2, January 1992), "Methodology forDevelopment of Emergency Action Levels,"
is acceptable to the NRC staff as analternative method to that described in Appendix 1 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 fordeveloping EALs required in Section IV.B of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 and 10CFR50.47(b)(4).
In addition, the guidance contained in NEI 99-01 (Revision 4, January2003), "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels,"
is acceptable tothe NRC staff as an alternative method to that described in Appendix 1 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 and NUMARC/NESP-007 for developing EALs required in SectionIV of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4)."
4.2 No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination Luminant Power has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration (SHC) is warranted with the proposed changes by addressing the three criteria set forth in 10 CFR50.92(c) as discussed below:
Attachment to TXX-15101 Page 5 of 61. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability orconsequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response:
No.These changes affect the CPNPP Emergency Plan and do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating License or the Technical Specifications.
The proposed changes do notmodify any plant equipment and do not impact any failure modes that could lead to anaccident.
Additionally, the proposed changes do not impact the consequence of anyanalyzed accident since the changes do not affect any equipment related to accidentmitigation.
Based on this discussion, the proposed amendment does not increase theprobability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accidentfrom any accident previously evaluated?
Response:
No.These changes affect the CPNPP Emergency Plan and do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating License or the Technical Specifications.
They do not modify any plantequipment and there is no impact on the capability of the existing equipment to performtheir intended functions.
No system setpoints are being modified and no changes are beingmade to the method in which plant operations are conducted.
No new failure modes areintroduced by the proposed changes.
The proposed amendment does not introduce accident initiators or malfunctions that would cause a new or different kind of accident.
Therefore, the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
- 3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?Response:
No.These changes affect the CPNPP Emergency Plan and do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating License or the Technical Specifications.
The proposed changes do notaffect any of the assumptions used in the accident
- analysis, nor do they affect anyoperability requirements for equipment important to plant safety. Therefore, the proposedchanges will not result in a significant reduction in the margin of safety as defined in thebases for technical specifications covered in this license amendment request.4.3 Conclusion In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that thehealth and safety of the public will not be endangered by the proposed change in the CPNPP EALScheme, (2) operation of CPNPP will continue to be conducted in compliance with the Commission regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense andsecurity or to the health and safety of the public.5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION Luminant Power has determined that the proposed amendment would not change requirements withrespect to use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined by 10 CFR 20, nor Attachment to TXX-15101 Page 6 of 6would it change inspection or surveillance requirements.
Luminant Power has evaluated the proposedchange and has determined that the change does not involve:I. A Significant Hazards Consideration, II. A significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluentthat may be released off site, orIII. A significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) and (10)(ii).
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR51.22(b),
no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need beprepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

11 Attachment 2 to TXX-1 5101EAL Comparison MatrixIntroduction This document provides a line-by-line comparison of the Initiating Conditions (ICs), Mode Applicability and Emergency Action Levels (EALs) in NEI 99-01Rev. 6 Final, Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive
- Reactors, ADAMS Accession Number ML12326A805, and the ComanchePeak Nuclear Power Plant (CPNPP) ICs, Mode Applicability and EALs. Thisdocument provides a means of assessing CPNPP differences and deviations from the NRC endorsed guidance given in NEI 99-01. Discussion of CPNPPEAL bases and lists of source document references are given in the EALTechnical Bases Document.
It is, therefore, advisable to reference the EALTechnical Bases Document for background information while using thisdocument.
Comparison Matrix FormatThe ICs and EALs discussed in this document are grouped according to NEI99-01 Recognition Categories.
Within each Recognition
- Category, the ICsand EALs are listed in tabular format according to the order in which they aregiven in NEI 99-01. Generally, each row of the comparison matrix providesthe following information:
" NEI EAL/IC identifier
" NEI EAL/IC wording" CPNPP EAL/IC identifier
" CPNPP EAL/IC wordingo Description of any differences or deviations EAL Emphasis Techniques Due to the width of the table columns and table formatting constraints in thisdocument, line breaks and indentation may differ slightly from theappearance of comparable wording in the source documents.
NEI 99-01 isthe source document for the NEI EALs; the CPNPP EAL Technical BasesDocument for the CPNPP EALs.The print and paragraph formatting conventions summarized below guidepresentation of the CPNPP EALs in accordance with the EAL writing criteria.
Space restrictions in the EAL table of this document sometimes override thiscriteria in cases when following the criteria would introduce undesirable complications in the EAL layout." Upper case-bold print is used for the logic terms AND, OR andEITHER." Bold font is used for certain logic terms, negative terms (not,cannot, etc.), any, all." Upper case print is reserved for defined terms, acronyms, systemabbreviations, logic terms (and, or, etc. when not used as aconjunction),
annunciator window engravings.
- Three or more items in a list are normally introduced with "Any of thefollowing..."
or "All of the following..."
Items of the list begin withbullets when a priority or sequence is not inferred.
" The use of AND/OR logic within the same EAL has been avoidedwhen possible.
When such logic cannot be avoided, indentation andseparation of subordinate contingent phrases is employed.
Global Differences The differences listed below generally apply throughout the set of EALs andare not repeated in the Justification sections of this document.
The globaldifferences do not decrease the effectiveness of the intent of NEI 99-01.1. The NEI phrase "Notification of Unusual Event" has been changed to"Unusual Event" or abbreviated "UE" to reduce EAL-user readingburden.2. In some instances NEI 99-01 IC Example EALs are implemented inseparate plant EALs to improve clarity and readability.
For example,NEI lists all IC HU3 Example EALs under one IC. The corresponding CPNPP EALs appear as unique EALs (e.g., HU3.1 through HU3.4).3. Mode applicability identifiers (numbers/letter) modify the NEI 99-01mode applicability names as follows:
1 -Power Operation, 2 -Startup, 3 -Hot Standby, 4 -Hot Shutdown, 5 -Cold Shutdown, 6 -Refueling, D -Defueled.
NEI 99-01defines Defueled as follows:"Reactor Vessel contains no irradiated fuel (full core off-load duringrefueling or extended outage)."
- 4. "rain." is the standard abbreviation for "minutes" and is used toreduce EAL user reading burden.1 of 114 Attachment 2 to TXX-1 5101EAL Comparison Matrix5. The term "Emergency Director" has been replaced by "Emergency Coordinator" consistent with site-specific nomenclature.
- 6. Wherever the generic bracketed PWR term "reactor vessel/RCS" isprovided, CPNPP uses the term "RCS" as the site-specific nomenclature.
- 7. IC/EAL identification:
- NEI Recognition Category A "Abnormal Radiation Levels/Radiological Effluents" has been changed to Category R"Abnormal Rad Levels / Rad Effluents."
The designator "R" ismore intuitively associated with radiation (rad) or radiological events. NEI IC designators beginning with "A" have likewisebeen changed to "R."* NEI 99-01 defines the thresholds requiring emergency classification (example EALs) and assigns them to ICs which, inturn, are grouped in "Recognition Categories."
CPNPPendeavors to optimize the NEI EAL organization andidentification scheme to enhance usability of the plant-specific EAL set. To this end, the CPNPP IC/EAL scheme includes thefollowing features:
- a. Division of the NEI EAL set into three groups:o EALs applicable under all plant operating modes -This group would be reviewed by the EAL-user anytime emergency classification is considered.
o EALs applicable only under hot operating modes-This group would only be reviewed by the EAL-userwhen the plant is in Hot Shutdown, Hot Standby,Startup or Power Operation mode.o EALs applicable only under cold operating modes -This group would only be reviewed by the EAL-userwhen the plant is in Cold Shutdown, Refueling orDefueled mode.The purpose of the groups is to avoid review of hotcondition EALs when the plant is in a cold condition andavoid review of cold condition EALs when the plant is in ahot condition.
This approach significantly minimizes thetotal number of EALs that must be reviewed by the EAL-user for a given plant condition and, thereby, speedsidentification of the EAL that applies to the emergency.
- b. Within each of the above three groups, assignment ofEALs to categories/subcategories
-Category andsubcategory titles are selected to represent conditions that are operationally significant to the EAL-user.
Subcategories are used as necessary to further divide theEALs of a category into logical sets of possibleemergency classification thresholds.
The CPNPP EALcategories/subcategories and their relationship to NEIRecognition Categories are listed in Table 1.c. Unique identification of each EAL -Four characters comprise the EAL identifier as illustrated in Figure 1.Figure 1 -EAL Identifier EAL Identifier XXX.XCategory (R, H, E, S. F. C) iL Sequential number Within subcategory/classificatioo Emergency classification (G. S. A. U) 1ýSubcategory number (Ilif no subeetegory)
The first character is a letter associated with the categoryin which the EAL is located.
The second character is aletter associated with the emergency classification level(G for General Emergency, S for Site Area Emergency, Afor Alert, and U for Notification of Unusual Event). Thethird character is a number associated with one or moresubcategories within a given category.
Subcategories aresequentially numbered beginning with the number "1 ". If acategory does not have a subcategory, this character isassigned the number "1". The fourth character is anumber preceded by a period for each EAL within asubcategory.
EALs are sequentially numbered within theemergency classification level of a subcategory beginning with the number "1".The EAL identifier is designed to fulfill the following objectives:
2 of 114 Attachment 2 to TXX-15101 EAL Comparison Matrixo Uniqueness
-The EAL identifier ensures that therecan be no confusion over which EAL is driving theneed for emergency classification.
o Speed in locating the EAL of concern -When theEALs are displayed in a matrix format, knowledge of the EAL identifier alone can lead the EAL-user tothe location of the EAL within the classification matrix. The identifier conveys the category, subcategory and classification level. This assistsERO responders (who may not be in the samefacility as the ED) to find the EAL of concern in atimely manner without the need for a worddescription of the classification threshold.
o Possible classification upgrade -Thecategory/subcategory/identifier scheme helps theEAL-user find higher emergency classification EALsthat may become active if plant conditions worsen.Table 2 lists the CPNPP ICs and EALs that correspond tothe NEI ICs/Example EALs when the above EAL/ICorganization and identification scheme is implemented.
Differences and Deviations In accordance NRC Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2003-18 "Use ofNuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-01, Methodology for Development ofEmergency Action Levels" Supplements 1 and 2, a difference is an EALchange in which the basis scheme guidance differs in wording but agrees inmeaning and intent, such that classification of an event would be the same,whether using the basis scheme guidance or the CPNPP EAL. A deviation isan EAL change in which the basis scheme guidance differs in wording and isaltered in meaning or intent, such that classification of the event could bedifferent between the basis scheme guidance and the CPNPP proposedEAL.Administrative changes that do not actually change the textual content areneither differences nor deviations.
- Likewise, any format change that does notalter the wording of the IC or EAL is considered neither a difference nor adeviation.
The following are examples of differences:
- Choosing the applicable EAL based upon plant type (i.e., BWR vs.PWR).* Using a numbering scheme other than that provided in NEI 99-01that does not change the intent of the overall scheme." Where the NEI 99-01 guidance specifically provides an option to notinclude an EAL if equipment for the EAL does not exist at CPNPP(e.g., automatic real-time dose assessment capability).
" Pulling information from the bases section up to the actual EAL thatdoes not change the intent of the EAL.* Choosing to state ALL Operating Modes are applicable instead ofstating N/A, or listing each mode individually under the AbnormalRad Level/Radiological Effluent and Hazard and Other Conditions Affecting Plant Safety sections.
- Using synonymous wording (e.g., greater than or equal to vs. at orabove, less than or equal vs. at or below, greater than or less thanvs. above or below, etc.)* Adding CPNPP equipment/instrument identification and/or nounnames to EALs.* Combining like ICs that are exactly the same but have different operating modes as long as the intent of each IC is maintained andthe overall progression of the EAL scheme is not affected.
" Any change to the IC and/or EAL, and/or basis wording, as stated inNEI 99-01, that does not alter the intent of the IC and/or EAL, i.e.,the IC and/or EAL continues to:o Classify at the correct classification level.o Logically integrate with other EALs in the EAL scheme.o Ensure that the resulting EAL scheme is complete (i.e.,classifies all potential emergency conditions).
The following are examples of deviations:
" Use of altered mode applicability.
- Altering key words or time limits." Changing words of physical reference (protected area, safety-related equipment, etc.).3 of 114 Attachment 2 to TXX-15101 EAL Comparison Matrix* Eliminating an IC. This includes the removal of an IC from theFission Product Barrier Degradation category as this impacts thelogic of Fission Product Barrier ICs.* Changing a Fission Product Barrier from a Loss to a Potential Lossor vice-versa.
- Not using NEI 99-Oldefinitions as the intent is for all NEI 99-01 usersto have a standard set of defined terms as defined in NEI 99-01.Differences due to plant types are permissible (BWR or PWR).Verbatim compliance to the wording in NEI 99-01 is not necessary aslong as the intent of the defined word is maintained.
Use of thewording provided in NEI 99-01 is encouraged since the intent is forall users to have a standard set of defined terms as defined in NEI99-01.* Any change to the IC and/or EAL, and/or basis wording as stated inNEI 99-01 that does alter the intent of the IC and/or EAL, i.e., the ICand/or EAL:o Does not classify at the classification level consistent withNEI 99-01.o Is not logically integrated with other EALs in the EALscheme.o Results in an incomplete EAL scheme (i.e., does not classifyall potential emergency conditions).
The "Difference/Deviation Justification" columns in the remaining sections ofthis document identify each difference between the NEI 99-01 IC/EALwording and the CPNPP IC/EAL wording.
An explanation that justifies thereason for each difference is then provided.
If the difference is determined tobe a deviation, a statement is made to that affect and explanation is giventhat states why classification may be different from the NEI 99-01 IC/EAL andthe reason for its acceptability.
In all cases, however, the differences anddeviations do not decrease the effectiveness of the intent of NEI 99-01.
