Public Service Electric and Gas Company Stanley LaBruna Public Service Electric and Gas Company P.O. Box 236, Hancocks Bridge, NJ 08038 609-339-4800 Vice President - Nuclear Operations FEB 0 7 1991 NLR-N90137 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 Gentlemen:
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS DOSE ASSESSMENT DATA ACQUISITION SALEM GENERATING STATION UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-272 AND 50-311 PSE&G committed to implement the refined dispersion model for emergency dose assessment described in NUREG-0654, Appendix 2 by letter dated November 30, 1984.
The letter provided a description of a computerized dose assessment system (MIDAS) which would automatically acquire site meteorological and plant radiation data and develop projections using that data.
Presently, radiation data for Salem Station is manually inputted into MIDAS versus automatic acquisition.
PSE&G has determined that the implementation of an enhanced automated MIDAS as described above under the current computer configuration at Salem is neither practical nor cost beneficial at this time.
PSE&G is in the process of evaluating a need for upgrading the RMS at Salem Station and we will continue our practice of manually inputting radiation data to MIDAS until an RMS upgrade is completed.
At that time, the cost benefit of an automated MIDAS would be reassessed.
Also, the November 30, 1984 letter stated that there was an interim connection to MIDAS via dedicated phone lines to Pickard, Lowe & Garrick, Inc.'s (the vendor) office until implementation onsite was completed.
That practice was discontinued when MIDAS became useable in the.manual mode.
Salem's manual data acquisition and entry to the current computerized dose assessment model will continue to provide dose assessment capability.
