The inspectors emphasized the importance of rapidly determining accident assessment and transmitting thace results to State authorities. The inspectors also sta eu that dose conversion
~
factors from noble gas concentrations should be available at the Offsite Emergency Center.
The licensee stated that this matter is currently being evaluated.
In general, the inspectors felt the licensee's Health Physics group responded adequately and noted no major problems.
d.
Offsite Agency Respp]s,s A representative from the Manitowac Sheriff's Office arrived at the Offsite Emergency Center within 20 minutes. Other representatives from Federal, State and Local governments participated in communication tests only.
