Request for Time Extension NUREG 0654, Appendix 3 R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Pla Docket 50-244 Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Attention: Mr. Dennis M. Crutchfield, Chief Operating Reactors Branch No. 5 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20555 40)f] ti, )08 Q2 OiSa OgglSSM
Dear Mr. Crutchfield:
s Qg e~St'q For well over a year the Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation (RGEE) has been working in cooperation with the State of New York and the Counties of Wayne and Monroe on a Radiological Emergency
Response
Plan. In connection with this Plan RGEE is in the process of providing the Counties with the means for alerting the public, as per the requirements of NUREG 0654/FEMA REP 1, in the unlikely event of a radiological emergency. Following the effective date of these requirements RG&E immediately solicited proposals
- from, and commenced the evaluation of, qualified consultants to design the prompt notification system.
In this manner RGGE retained the services of Wyle Laboratories Inc. The Wyle Laboratories'ffort consisted of seven tasks which included: the review o existing relevant data, an EPZ onsite ambient noise evaluation, the development of design criteria and alert system design recommendations, siren site location and verification, the development of equipment bid specifications and the preparation of a project environmental impact assessment. After reviewing the recommendations made as a result of this effort, RG&E selected a notification system based on the use of 79 siren supplemented by approximately 33 tone alerts as the most effective and reliable way to alert the public. A second consultant. was also retained to further verify that the selected system met the design standards contained in Appendix 3. The result of this second evaluation confirmed that system design met or exceeded Appendix 3 standards. 51 Roose 983

Due to the high cost of this projectI RG&E felt it was prudent. to request competitive bids from several reputable siren manufacturers to supply the necessary equipment for this system. The vendor selected through this process are believed to have the most well constructed and reliable equipment. available today for use in a prompt notification system. The siren manufacturer's production schedule is such that they will commence weekly shipments of sirens to RGGE starting June 5, 1981 and ending by August 7, 1981. We estimate that it will then take a minimum of five (5) weeks to complete siren installation and electronics testing to ensure that the notification system is functioning properly. At that point RG&E would turn over complete system control to Wayne and Monroe County officials. Enclosed is a project schedule which we are providing for your information. RGSE believes it has acted in an expeditious and prudent manner to comply with the requirements of NUREG 0654/FEMA REP 1. Nevertheless as we have explained
- above, and as shown in the project schedule, the prompt notification system implementation deadline of July 1, 1981 will not be met.
On behalf of RGSE I am hereby requesting an extension to that deadline until October 1, 1981. The present public notification procedures which have been in effect since 1974 will continue to provide reasonable protection to the public in the unlikely event that a radiological emergency should occur until the new prompt notification system is in operation. Thank you for your consideration of this request. Very truly yours, ~ ~ J n E. Maier Vice President Electric and Steam Production
