General This inspection consisted of an examination of 'the licensee's plans and activities related to environmental programs for construction.
The licensee's inplementation of the preoperational radiological m nitoring program was also examined.
The construction pe rmit, Final ironmental Statement and Environmental Report were used as the t ricary inspection criteria.
This inspection also consisted of the initial er-ncy planning management meeting.
Regulatory Guide 1.101 and :
requirements for emergency planning were discussed.
The inspector also examined the licensee's existing Emergency Plan.
3.
Environmental Procram Manacement The environmental coordinator for Enrico Fermi Unit 2 is in charge of implementing the environmental program. The licensee's radio-logical environmental contractor is Nuclear Utilities Services (NUS).
The contractor for the terrestrial program is Texas Instruments (TI).
Camp, Dresser, and McKee (CDM) manages the meteorological monito ring program.
The environmental coordina'.or and the utility radiation protection engineer reviewed data from the program.
Any unusual data or anomalous results are resolved by these people, although no audits of the radiological environmental program have yet been completed. The licensee plans to audit this program at least annually. The licensee's meteorological contractor has already
,
audited his program twice.
4.
Preoperation Radiological Monitoring Program
.
The licensee's program was started in March 1978.
The program includes results f rom thermoluminescent dosimeters at various locations, fish samples, and shoreline sediment samples.
In 1979 the program has be"n-2-7LQ b.
J/
.
expanded to include air particulate, drinking water, surface water and milk samples. This conforms with the licensee's proposed program included in his Environmental Report. The inspector reviewed the program results from March through December 1978.
No anomalous results or unusual trends were noted.
Explanations were given for missing samples. The inspector also reviewed deviation reports for a missed fish sample and for missing TLD's.
No problems were noted by the inspector.
5.
Terrestrial Procram The licensee conducts a remote sensins/gr(und truthing program to identify stressed vegetation. The licensee's contractor conducted overflights and ground truthing surveys in September and October 1978 within a five mile radius of the plant.
Several stressed areas were identified, however no stress is related to the plant. Most of the stressed areas were caused by natural causes such as drought, wind damage and insect damace.
The licensee plans to conduct this program annually. No problems or deviations were identified by the inspector.
6.
Metoerological Program The liceasee meteorological tower has been operational since June 1978.
The licensee's centractor, Camp, Dresser and McKee conducts t'ae program f rom their Detroit office, however they also conduct periodic audits of the progran f rom their Milwaukee of fice. The licensee avnitors air temperature, dew point, wind speed and direction at the ten meter level and air temperature, wind speed and direction at the sixty meter lovel.
The licensee is currently using a computer as well as strip charts to reduce the data.
Meteorological equipment is calibrated semiannually by a specialist firm.
The contractor employs a technician who visits the meteorological tower at least three times a week and after starns.
The technician completes a checklist to insure proper operation of the meteorological system.
The inspector examined the reports of the audits conducted in September and April.
Several minor problems were noted as would be exoectes in any new program, however corrective action was implemented in a timely fashion.
No problems were no*ed.

Emergency Planning
.
The inspection consisted of a meeting with plant management and other personnel associated with emergency planning.
A plan listed as Appendix 13A to the FSAR was reviewed and discussed with respect to NRC requirements.

a.
Agreement and Coordination with Offsite Acencies Letters of agreement from offsite agencies were reviewed.
Not all letters of agreement were current.
The necessity of maintaining complete and current letters of agreement was discussed with the licensee along with the necessity for periodic update of these letters.
Annual contact and training with representatives of these offsite support agencies to ensure adequate coordination was emphasized. The inspector stated that appropriate sections of the Emergeno Plan and Procedures should be issued to each support age with revisions to be sent to the agencies.
b.
Tests and Drills The condact of periodic tests and drills was reviewed with the licensee. The inspectcr discussed the need for various drills to be conducted at evenly spaced intervals throughout the year.
These drills include a medical drill, an evacuation drill, and a fire drill at the very minimum. Drills should be critiqued by appointed observers and any problem areas and deficiencies identified during a drill should be used to change and strengthen the Emergency Plan and its Implementing Proce-dures. Drill critiques should be reviewed by plant management.
The inspector stated that a drill demonstrating the worxability of all facets of the emergency plan should be conducted three months prior to fuel loading and should be observed by an NRC inspector.
c.
Training Training requirements were discussed with the licensee. The inspector emphasized the need for periodic retraining in various aspects of the Emergency Plan such as first aid, fire fighting, and other areas.
The inspector stated that offsite agencies should be trained initially and then trained annually.
The inspector discussed the need te keep documentation of training in a manner which will be easily auditable.

.
d.
Facilities and Equipment The inspector discussed with licensee representatives the proposed contents of the licensee's emergency kits and the licensee's first aid area and decontamination area. The licensee has not yet equipped these areas. The licensee is planning to have a nurse on duty at least forty hours a week.

The inspector stated that all supplies, emergency and decontamination kits, and first aid kits are to be inventoried by completing a checklist on a regular basis.
The completed checklist is to be reviewed by a supervisor.
Additions to, or repair of, supplies or equipment is to be completed in a timely fashion. The inspector also stated that equipment should include portable air samplers.
e.
Medical The licensee's primary support hospital is Seaway Fospital with University Hospital serving as backup.
The licensee has contracted with Radiation Management Corpo ra t ion (RMC)
to work with them and with the hospitals to provide medical support for accidents.
RMC will work with the hospitals to develop plans to ccpe with radiation accident victims.
At least one physician on the primary hospital staf f has been trained in the treatment of accident victims.
The licensee also has physicians on his corporate staff who are train J in such treatment.
The licensee is to maintain certain supplies for treatment of contaminated injuries in a special area at the hospital.
The inspector discussed contents desirable and stated that these supplies should be inventoried on a regular basis, along with the licensee's other emergency supplies.
The inspector noted that no survey instruments were included on the licensee's proposed list of supplies to be kept at the hospital. The inspector discussed th_ desirability of maintaining survey instrumentation at the hospital.
RMC will provide annual training for hospital staff in emergency procedures. They will also cooroinate an annual drill using a simulated accident victim.
The drill will be critiqued with plant staff and with the hospital staff.
f.
Implementiac Procedures The licensee stated that Implementing Procedures will be developed. The inspector discussed the desirability of removing the procedures from the Emergency Plan and listing them in an Appendix.
