SUBJECT:
CHANGES TO EMERGENCY PLAN STAFFING LEVELS FOR OCONEE, MCGUIRE, AND CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATIONS (TAC NOS. M92462, M92463, M92485, M92486, M92487, M92623, AND M92624)
Dear Mr. Tuckman:
By letters dated May 8, 1995, May 31, 1996, and July 25, 1996, Duke Power Company (DPC) proposed to eliminate reference to the 45-minute responders from the emergency plans for McGuire Nuclear Station Units 1 and 2, Oconee Nuclear Station Units 1, 2, and 3, and Catawba Nuclear Station Units 1 and 2. While Duke Power did not enumerate the request as such, the staff determined that the overall request consists of twelve separate proposals divided among the three stations.
As a result of our review, the staff has determined that nine of the twelve proposals would not decrease the effectiveness of the currently approved emergency plans at the three stations. Therefore, these nine proposals are approved. The staff has determined, however, that the other three proposals, if implemented with the nine already approved, would result in lowering emergency response personnel staffing levels to the point where the stations' abilities to adequately respond to the spectrum of anticipated accidents/events is questionable. For this reason, the staff has not approved these three proposals. Details of the individual proposals and conclusions about them are contained in the enclosed Safety Evaluations.
Since the proposals are interrelated, DPC may determine that a more cost beneficial combination of proposals exists than that which the staff has approved. If another such combination is more desirable, then a separate request should be submitted.
For your information, the staff has initiated a generic review of the guidance for minimum staffing levels for response to emergencies as well as the response times for augmentation of emergency response. The results of this review, when completed, may address some of your proposals.
