Emergency Action Levels

No one has more experience in the development of EALs and EAL related products & services than OSSI. OSSI has been actively involved in the development of EALs, based on both NUREG-0654 and NEI (NUMARC) methodologies, for many commercial power plants as well as directly involved in the development of generic international emergency classification guidance.

OSSI has the experience and technical expertise to assist you with your EAL needs, whether updating to reflect plant modifications, reviewing to ensure conformance to regulatory guidance or the complete re-writing of the emergency classification scheme.  OSSI employs a proven, systematic approach to EAL development and upgrade programs.

OSSI has successfully designed and implemented fully integrated emergency classification schemes including the integration of EALs with plant emergency operating and severe accident management procedures.

Have you ever wondered why a certain EAL was written the way it was?  Have you wanted to revise your EALs but are unsure of the proposed revision′s regulatory impact? An EAL Technical Bases Document solves this problem while providing numerous other benefits to the emergency planning process. Developed to support your existing EALs or as part of an EAL upgrade program, the EAL Technical Bases Document provides a detailed technical discussion of each EAL. Included are the plant-specific references utilized as well as justification for identified values, limits and instrumentation. Also included is a NUREG-0654 or NEI 99-01 to EAL cross-reference to fully document conformance to regulatory guidance.  This document also serves as an excellent training resource for plant operations and emergency management personnel.
