Licensee Actions on Previously Identified items Related to Emergency Preparedness a.

Significant Appraisal Findings (Closed) 373/81-14-08; 374/81-09-08: Monitor wind speed and direction at 10 meter elevation which will not be affected by man-made obstructions. A wind speed and direction indicator was mounted on the existing meteorological tower at the 10 meter height on September 1, 1981.

By letter dated October 8, 1981, the licensee agreed to submit a report in March 1982 using the previous six monthly data records to verify that the directions measured at the 10 meter level were not affected by any surround-ing buildings, and to relocate the sensors to an alternate site if this report indicated that significant distortions due to building effects occurred.

(Closed) 373/81-14-09; 374/81-09-09:

Chart recorders of primary meteorological measurements must be read out in the Control Room.

By letter dated October 8, 1981, the licensee proposed to take the following three actions as an alternative to placing chart recorders in the Control Room:

(1) maintain a dial indication for wind speed and direction at 200 feet and 375 feet and differential temperature between 375 feet and 33 feet; (2) maintain SYFA computer terminals in the Shift Engineer's Office and Technical Support Center (TSC) which are capable of providing historical data on demand for the most recent 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> (hourly averages) or ten hours (one minute averages) of all parameters measured at the tower; and (3) install a process computer which will develop 15-minute averages for all parameterr and ill provide a redundant means-2-

,

_-_

.

.

for data access. Based on a review of this system, we have con-ditioned the operating license to require installation of the process computer prior to exceeding five percent power. This system should be adequate to provide a reliable record of meteoro-logical information in lieu of chart recorders in the Control Room.

(Closed) 373/81-14-10; 374/81-09-10: A backup meteorology system must be installed if the Dresden program is determined to be non-representative for LaSalle. By letter dated October 8, 1981, the licensee committed to install a backup tower and equipment within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> of the collapse of the given meteorological tower.

In addition, during the period of tower collapse, data can be obtained from all other CECO nuclear facilities as well as forcasted meteoro-logical data.

Based on our review, we have conditioned the operating license to require a functional description of the upgraded capabili-ties be submitted to the NRC by April 1, 1982. This submittal must include a functional description of the measurements from a primary system and system for obtaining meteorological information from backup means. For the purpose of tracking, this item is considered closed, and completion of all meteorology related subjects will be tracked using 373/81-14-27 and 374/81-09-27.

(Closed) 373/81-14-11; 374/81-09-11: Procedures needed for field

'

team's use. The licensee has draf ted revision 2 to Environs Group procedure EG-3, " Field Team Equipment and Survey Techniques."

This procedure adequately addresses which instruments are to be used in various circumstances, such as the instrument and means to determine whether or not the team is inside or under a radio-logical plume. The revision ensures that air samples collected from the plume are correctly taken.

In conjunction with the full set of Environs Group procedures, ade;uate procedures exist for offsite radiological sampling and surveying.

(Closed) 373/81-14-16; 374/81-09-16:

Procedures for in plant radiation surveys during an accident must be developed. The licensee has prepared revisions to LRP-1360-6, " Air Sampling of Suspected Radioactive Airborne Areas," and LRP-1280-2, " Dose Rate Surveys," and has issued LZP-1330-50, " Radiation Surveys Under Accident Conditions." LRP-1280-2 and 1360-6 are referenced in LZP-1330-50. Together these procedures adequately address precautions and limitations for performance of in-plant radiation surveys during an accident and the source of the radiation levels detected, e.g., gamma only versus beta and gamma.

(0 pen) 373/81-14-17; 374/81-09-17: A training program for RCTs specifying their role during an emergency must be developed. The classroom phase of this training program has essentially been completed; however, hands-on training using the High Radiation Sampling System, PING, and SAM-2 has not yet been conducted. This item remains open pending completion of the training program and walkthroughs of RCTs to verify an adequate level of understanding.

'(Closed) 373/81-14-18; 374/81-09-18: Formal training program for (

all Acting' Station Directors must be developed. Tbe licensee

-

developed this training program and completed retraining of all f

Acting Station Directors in December 1981. The inspector examined

/

the attendance sheets, written exar, and walkthrough critiques

of several of the Acting Station Directors and verified that they

- '

J had attained'an adequate level of understanding.

,.m (Closed) 373/81-14-19; 374/81-09-19: Scope and depth of existing GSEP training program-must be.re-evaluated. The licensee issued training procedure TP-GSEP which specifies the scope, depth, objectives, and structure of the GSEP training program for each director. Retraining was conducted during December 1981. The inspector reviewed selective attendance sheets to verify that appropriate personnel had been retrained.

Open Items

'

(0 pen) 373/80-53-03:

Conduct a site assembly drill. The licensee plans to conduct this drill during February or March.

We will observe that drill and determine whether to close this item at that time.

,

(0 pen) 373/80-30-02: Response to IE Bulletin 80-15, "Possible Loss of Emergency Notification System (ENS) with loss of Offsite Power." The licensee conducted the required test and found that due to frequency differences.between the TSC diesel generator I

(62 Hz) and normal power (60 Hz), the circuit breakers tripped

'

and the ENS lines went dead. The licensee is currently working to resolve this frequency disparity and conduct a retest. Upon satisfactory completion of the retest this item will be closed.

(0 pen) 373/81-00-99: Assure permanent TSC, EOF, and SPDS are f

,

j completed per TMI Action Plan requirculent III.A.I.2.

For all l

'

items other than the TSC, completion is required by October 1, 1982. The inspector examined the permanent TSC and determined

,

that it had been completed in accordance with TMI Action Plan

.l requirement III.A.1.2 with the following exceptions:

(1) removal j

of Continuous Air Monitor from NRC work space; (2) installation J

of tables and chairs in NRC work space for five NRC personnel; and (3) installation of operable Safety Parameter Display System.

(0 pen) 373/8?-14-20; 374/81-09-20:

Installation of Effluent Monitoring System.

Installation is in progress, but not yet completed.

(Closed) 373/81-14-22; 374/81-09-22:

Installation and testing of High Radiation Sampling System and ccupletion of sampling line shielding.

Installation of this system is complete. The pre-operational test (SD-PS-102) is not complete. For the purposes of tracking, this item is considered closed and will be further reviewed using the test number.

Exit Interv2p The inspector met with licensee represe.ntatives (denoted in Paragraph 1) at the conclusion of the inspection on January 5, 1982. The in-spector summarized the scope and findings of the inspection and appraised the licensee of the status of open items and significant findinic related to emergency preparedness.
