Hurricane PLAN Entered when tropical system is in the Gulf and projected to impact STP. Activated at the discretion of the Plant General Manager or Duty EOF Director Site Preparation Team established 3-5 days prior to expected landfall. Non-essential personnel released hours prior to expected landfall. Storm Crew members released approximately 48 hours prior to expected landfall, to tend to home and family. Strom Crew sequestered on site 24 hours prior to expected landfall.

Emergency Plan Entry Potential Unusual Event – HU3 – A hazardous event that results in on-site condition sufficient to prohibit plant staff from accessing the site via personal vehicles (flooding / all roads impassable). This is an Unusual Event located on the All Hazards chart (white chart). Potential Alert – SA9 – Hazardous event affecting a safety system needed for the current operating mode. This is an Alert and located on our Hot chart (red chart).

Evacuation Matagorda County may start evacuation of coastal areas 24 hours prior to issuance of Hurricane Watch. A Hurricane Watch is generally issued 48 hours prior to expected impacts. This is important to STP since we need to have storm crew employees back on site.

PRELIMINARY CAPABILITIES ASSESSMENT VS. DISASTER INITIATED REVIEW
Has a State or local emergency been declared? Are offsite emergency response facilities functional and with power? Are the OROs available? Are Alert and Notification Systems (ANS) operable? Are communication systems operable? Are evacuation routes clear?
24
PRELIMINARY CAPABILITIES ASSESSMENT
Are support facilities available? Have compensatory measures been put in place by the ORO or NRC Licensee? What is the initial assessment of the infrastructure for the licensee facility and ROs? Are communication systems operable? Are the OROs capable of implementing the protective actions? If these questions can be answered a Disaster Initiated Review will not be required and a letter of Reasonable Assurance will be sent from FEMA to the NRC
25
LESSONS LEARNED Research/Purchase generators for well water pumps and potable water pumps. Create “Dark” website with necessary information for storm crew Evaluate purchasing a hurricane connex (Ops and Maintenance) Evaluate lifting some restrictions on internet access (live streaming for entertainment). Any cyber security issues? Add STP site access to the webinar for NWS updates to EOC on weather and river levels.
26
LESSONS LEARNED Provide Control room staff continuous training on back up communications (lost primary) Ensure qualifications are not expired or expiring during storm crew activation. (BOP, GET, FFD, etc. Ensure back up employee hot line Sequestering teams ensure 7 day supply of clothing and medications Include in the Hurricane Manual the Initiating conditions/EALS potential plan entries during a storm Include the reporting manual criteria for a hurricane
27
LESSONS LEARNED Consider planning for one hurricane Category higher than predicted Develop a laundry plan if extend stay 7 days or more Develop alignment on 50.54X for pulling security and NRC notification Ensure male and female fire watch for the berthing areas Some employees were not able to go home prior to the storm which stressed out the employee
