RADIOLOGICAL ASSESSHEHT BRANCH You have not described an in-plant accident radiation and airborne radioactivity monitoring system as required in our standard review plan.

It is our position that the in-plant accident radiation and airborne radioactivity monitoring systems should provide personnel with the capability to assess the radiation hazard in areas which may need to be accessed during the course of an accident.

The accident monitoring systems may include the normal area radiation monitors, airborne radioactivity

monitors, and portable radiation monitoring equipment.

The accident monitoring systems should have a usable range which includes the maximum calculated accident levels, and they should be designed to operate properly in the environment caused by the accident..

Describe your accident monitoring

systems, and describe how your systems will meet this position.

Radiation dose rates in excess of 100 rads per hour can occur in the vicinity of spent fuel transfer tubes. 't is our position that the SFTT area should have structural barriers to prevent inadvertent access to the high radia-tion levels near the area and sufficient shielding to assure acceptable radiation levels in adjacent occupied

331-2 331.1 3 (12.1.1) areas.

Provide plan and elevation layout drawings of the SFTT areas, including these adjacent areas.

Your response should include procedures for positive access control and radiation monitoring in the areas near the

SFTT, as well as audible and visible radiation alarm signals to be actuated if radiation fields increase above ambient levels in the area.

Describe how your spent fuel transfer tube operation meets this position.

It is our position that decommissioning will be in accordance with Regulatory Guide 8.8,

" Information Relevant to Ensuring that Occupational Radiation Exposure at Nuclear Power Stations Will be ALARA". Revision 3,

June, 1978.

Verify that decommissioning will be in accordance with Regulatory Guide 8.8 or submit equivalent alternative.

331.1 4 (HUREG-0578, 2. 1,6.b ltr of 11/9/79 for criteria) 331.15 Provide results of design review for additional shielding required to provide access to vital areas and protect safety equipment after a core degradation accident.

Provide a description of the radiation protection features (NUREG-0578, 2. 1.8.a incorporated in the system for sampling and analyzing reactor

& ltr of 11/9/79) coolant and containment atmosphere after a core degradation accident.
