Follow-up on Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) IFI (85-32-07): Complete arrangements with offsite service groups to ensure availability of offsite support during emergencies.

An updated agreement letter with Seabrook Fire Department, dated May 14, 1986, was incorporated into the plan by Amendment 59 to the FSAR. The letter includes provisions for ambulance transportation to local medical facilities. Training modules for offsite fire fighters were approved and on April 15-17, 1986, 12 fire fighters from Seabrook Fire Department received training on plant access / egress and medical emergencies.

In addition, Amendment 59 to the FSAR specifies annual training for offsite support groups, including medical and fire fighters.

The emergency equipment and supplies designated for Exeter Hospital have been completed in accordance with procedure ER-8.1 inventory sheet. All arrangements with offsite groups under this item are considered complete.

This item is closed.

(Closed) IFI (85-32-12/13):

Ensure that arrangements for transportation of onsite contaminated / injured personnel are made and described in plans and procedures.

Section 10.5.2 of the plan and procedure ER-4.4, "Onsite Medical Emer-gency" have beer revised to show that the Seabrook Fire Department will provide transportation for onsite contaminated / injured personnel. An updated letter of agreement was completed with the Seabrook Fire Depart-ment (see Item 85-32-07),above).

Provision for annual training for local fire support and local ambulance service has been incorporated in the plan.

This item is closed.

(Closed) IFI (85-32-15b): Qualification criteria for assignment to positions in the Emergency Response Organizations (ERO) were not specified.

Appendix A to the plan, " Emergency Response Organization Position Defi-

'

nitions," was revised by Amendment 59 to the FSAR to show qualification criteria for the members of the ERO.

In addition, the personnel assign-ments that are also described in Appendix A are commensurate with the individual's routine operational position, i.e., duties during emergencies are similar to those performed during routine operations. This item is closed.

(Closed) IFI (85-32-19):

Finalize the meteorological system design consistent with FSAR commitments and revise the description in the plan.

On May 9. 1986, the licensee submitted a proposed change to the plan as well as similar proposed changes to Section 2.3 of the FSAR which updated

'

the description of the Seabrook meteorological monitoring program. This update was incorporated into the plan by Amendment 59 to the FSAR. This item is close.

.

(Closed) IFI (85-32-20):

Provide for backup meteorological measurements representative of conditions in the vicinity of the site.

Amendment 59 to the FSAR (plan) provides for an arrangement between Yankee Nuclear Services Division (YNSD) and Weather Services International (WSI)

for backup meteorological data including a terminal in the emergency oper-ations facility (EOF).

The plan also provides for backup weather data from National Weather Services (NWS) offices, hourly data from Pease Air Force Base (13 miles away) through WSI, Portland, ME, and Concord, NH NWS stations.

Procedure ER-5.6 provides instructions for the dose assessment coordinator at the EOF on WSI System Operations.

In addition, Section 6.2.3.1 of the plan was revised to provide for corporate meteor-ological support available on a 24-hr. emergency call basis.

Further, corporate meteorological support personnel can access EOF weather data.

Backup power to the onsite meteorological tower instrumentation is still being evaluated by the licensee. The licensee has stated that the evalu-ation and actions to enhance meteorological system reliability will be completed by December 31, 1986.

Based on the provision for multiple backup sources of meteorological data, one of which is considered to be representative of conditions in the vicinity of tha site, and the licensee's commitment to resolve the onsite meteorological system reliability by the end of the year, this item is closed.

(Closed) IFI (85-32-21):

Provide a method for notification of impending severe weather to the control room.

An arrangement (document date of April 30,1986) through the Power Supply Department, Public Service of New Hampshire provides for notification to the Seabrook control room of impending severe weather. A supporting procedure, New Hampshire Satellite Operating Procedure #21, " Operations During Emergency Situations," issued in May 1986, provides instructions i

for notifying Seabrook of severe weather and other potentially severe situations (e.

g., bomb threat, CBR attack, natural phenomena). This item is closed.

Steps 18-20 of form 2.2B (contained in ERs-1.5 and 2.2) require use of the HP-41 calculator to project dose at the site boundary, 2 miles, and 5 miles.

This requirement cannot be met with the present HP-41 system and software.

(See paragraph D.1, item 85-32-14d).

The inspectors verified that revised Form 2.28, Revision 4 contained spaces for the - following information; radioactive release rate data, meteorological data, and off-site exposure data, including dose rates and integrated doses at the site boundary, 2 miles, 5 miles, and 10 miles for whole body, and thyroid.

The inspectors also verified that the revised HP-41 system and software provides the capability to project doses at the site boundary, 2, 5 and 10 miles. Control room personnel have been trained in the use of initial dose projection equipment and procedures.
