SUBJECT:
BROWNS FERRY AND SE)UOYAH PROPOSED EMERGENCY PLAN CHANGES Gentlemen:
We have completed our review of the proposed revisions to the Browns Ferry and Sequoyah Emergency Plans submitted pursuant to 50.54(q) on May 20, 1994.
The proposed changes involve Figure A-1 and Figure B-l, "Site Emergency Organization" and "Technical Support Center Emergency Preparedness,"
respectively, of each Plan, particularly the response times and duties of the Core/Thermal Hydraulic Engineer and the Shift Technical Advisor.
The proposed revisions would allow the Core/Thermal Hydraulic Engineer position to be augmented in 60 minutes following an emergency declaration rather than in 30 minutes as indicated in the Plan.
In the first 60 minutes, the Shift Technical Advisor would assume the responsibilities of the Core/Thermal Hydraulics position.
Based on our review of the specific changes to the Browns Ferry and Sequoyah Emergency Plans and the detailed functional analysis provided by your staff for the two response positions, the NRC has determined that, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q),
the proposed changes continue to meet the standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50.
It should be noted however, that this conclusion and preapproval of the proposed changes is contingent on the following factors remaining constant:
(1) the current functional description of the Shift Technical Advisor; (2) the qualification of the Shift Technical Advisor to perform core/thermal assessments; (3) overall control room staffing level and distribution of responsibiTities; and (4) the basic requirement to declare the Technical Support Center fully operational within 60 minutes of an emergency.
Additionally, please be reminded that 10 CFR 50.54(q) requires that proposed changes which decrease the effectiveness of your Emergency Plan shall not be implemented without application to and approval by the Commission.
- However, changes may be made without Commission approval if such
- changes, do not 950iii0068 950104 PDR ADOCK 05000259 F
TVA decrease the effectiveness of the plan, and the plan, as changed, continues to meet the standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements of Appendix E to.
10 CFR 50. If a change is made without approval, you should furnish copies in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q).
Also any changes to the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures should be made in accordance with the requirements to 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section V.
Should you have any questions regarding this letter, please
- contact, Mr. Kenneth P. Barr of our staff at (404) 331-0335.
