18
Q

When multiple simultaneous events occur, which classification is used?

A

The highest EAL reached

  • If 2 events in same category, use more specific
19
Q

If we “Miss” a classification, what do we do?

A
  1. Event is reported to NRC within 1 Hour of discovery of undeclared event/condition (per 10CFR50.72)
  2. Also notify State/Local per agreements
20
Q

If an EAL is briefly met during an expected (normal) plant response, do we make an emergency declaration?

Or do we declare when an EAL is Momentarily met but corrected by an operator?

A

NO in both cases (if we hadn’t declared before correction by Operator in case 2)

21
Q

Per EP-0903, how do we determine if abnormal Radioactive Release is “In-Progress”?

A
  1. Effluent monitor readings 3X Normal/Expected
  2. SGTR with steam release to atmosphere
  3. Airborne activity found via survey
  4. Effluent grab samples > Expected
  5. > ALERT alarm on RU-148/149
22
Q

A radioactive release in excess of Federally approved limits is indicated when?

A
  1. High alarm on any effluent monitor
  2. Dose projection/sample > .05 mrem/hr TEDE at Site boundary
  3. Radiation survey ? .05 mrem/hr DDE at Site Boundary
  4. Grab samples > ODCM Section 3 Limits
23
Q

When do we make Protective Action Recommendations (PARS)?

A

When offsite doses are expected to exceed Protective Action Guides (PAG’s)

  • Based on Emergency Classification, Status of Fission Product Barriers, and offsite doses
24
Q

Why do we issue Potassium Iodide?

A

Reduce potential Thyroid Doses

25
Q

List Protective Action responsibilities

A

PV issues PAR’s
Governor of AZ makes PAD’s
Maricopa County implements PAD’s

*PAD - Protective Action Decision

26
Q

Who provides the Fuel Damage Category?

A

STA (STSC) or Reactor Analyst (TSC)

27
Q

When is ASSEMBLY required?

A

SAE or Higher

28
Q

When is ACCOUNTABILITY required?

A

29
Q

Who decides to Evacuate? Who is evacuated and when?

A

EC decides

Non-Essential at SAE or GE

30
Q

What do we use EP-0541 form for?

A

Transmit key plant and emergency status info to State and Local agencies

  • 15 minutes from Event Classification, Release status, PAR’s
31
Q

Where can HARD COPIES of EP-0541 be found?

A

Control Room (in EPLAN binder)

32
Q

How long does Security have to notify the EC with results of Accountability report?

A

Within 30 minutes

33
Q

What are the TEDE Exposure Limits during an Emergency?

A
  1. EPA overall < 5REM
  2. EPA for property 5-10 REM
  3. EPA for life-saving <25 REM
  4. EPA for life-saving (voluntary) >25 REM
34
Q

How do we select a worker for assisting during an Emergency?

A
  1. No previous emergency exposure
  2. No females with pre-natal dose limits
  3. Volunteer preferred
  4. Workers over 45 years old
  • Document on EP-0300
35
Q

EP-0902 requires the NRC be notified of any EPLAN entry within?

A

1 Hour

36
Q

What are the EP-0902 reporting requirements for the ENS Communicator?

A
  1. Shall notify NRC immediately after State and Local notifications and no later than 1 hour after declared
  2. Notify NRC via ENS until relieved
37
Q

Who may perform the ENS Communicator role?

A

STA, or an AO/RO

  • In the TSC, the USNRC Liaison is filled by Training Dept Supervisors
38
Q

What is the MINIMUM PAR for a GE?

A

Evacuate within 2-mile radius and 5-mile in affected sectors

39
Q

When do we enter SAMG’s?

A

Once decided EOP’s aren’t sufficient (EC decide)

  • SAMG performed by STA in TSC
40
Q

When CR EC transfers Non-Delegable duties, what facilities and what duties are transferred?

A

To TSC = KI issuance, ERO Activation, Classifications

To EOF = Notifications, PAR’s

41
Q

Where are the EPLAN facilities physically located (Onsite vs Offsite)?

A 
ONSITE = CR, STSC, OSC, TSC
OFFSITE = EOF, JIC
42
Q

During Transient EPLAN management, who can take EC duties?

A

CRS/SM can transfer to qualified STA

43
Q

When making ZONE determinations during PAR’s, how do we add/delete identified zones?
