This f rogram consists of:
the delineation of planning responsibilities and authorities; provides for periodic reviews, audits and updates of Emergency Plan implementation; and delineates responsibility for overall conduct of reviews, audits and updates.

Emercency Field Monitoring To verify the utility of the licensee's equipment and procedures for performing emergency environmental sample counting, the inspector provided two standard mock iodine sources to an individual assigned to the emergency monitoring team.
The inspector requested that the sources be evaluated using implementing procedure 1670.6, Offsite Radiological Monitoring and one of four randomly selected emergency counting systems.
Results obtained from using procedure 1670.6 and the selected field counting system were two orders of magnitude lower than the standard source activity.
The check was repeated on each of the three remaining counting systems in order to determine if similar incon-sistency would be evidenced in all of the systems.
Final results indicated that two of the four counting systems were within 12% of the standard source activities and two were in error by greater than 100% (one high, one icw) of the standard source activities.
Further review of the two systems which gave the inordinately high and low results revealed that one had a faulty timing circuit _.and the other did not appear to be responding properly.
Both faulty instruments were delivered to the instrument and control shop for reapirs.
The inspector noted tnat the two remaining systems were adequate in number to support an emergency response as described in the licensee's emergency procedures.
The inspector had no further questions.
