NUCLEAR P1AUT FOR I:!PRCVING EMERGE;!CY iREPARE2SESS On October 15-1S, Review sam No. 6 conducted a review of the LaSalle Station Emergency Plan (va4P - Generating Station Emergency Plan) and the LaSalle County Emergency Plan with representatives frca the State of 1111ncis, LaSalle County, and Commonwealth Edison Company (CECO).
A site tour was conducted initially, followed by technical meetings with plant management personnel. On October 17, the team met with representatives from the Illinois Emergency Services and Disaster Agency (ESDA), f aSalle County School Board, and Brookfield Township personnel.
In addition, regional and county ESDA representatives were present.
In general, the meetings conducted with plant persennel and corporate management went very well. However, the meetings with the State of Illinois ESDA personnel were unproductive. This was in part due to the fact that the State emergency plan was not ready for review.
During the meetings with CECO, all items from the acceptance criteria were discussed in detail.
Clear guidance regarding Emergency Action oevels (EAL's) w a sarticularly discussed in detail. CECO stated that this guidance ( TREG-0610) is still open for public comment and will be addressed in their new emergency plan pending final approval from NRC.
I suggest that they (as a minimum) address the General and Site emergency classification now, because enese classifications will probably 4:.: t change. They agreed to do this.
The following deficiencies were identified during our review:
1.
In ganeral, the facility plan (GSEP) does not satisfy Regulatory Guide 1.101, especially in the area of the new uniform action level criteria based on plan parameters. The licc7see agreec to develop tablec indicating plan parameters (real time) which would be used :a classify a Site or General emergency. These parameters will include the new high range contain:: lent monitors and gaseous effluent stauk ionitors as per N1"'EG-0378.

The licensee has tentatively Jelecteu a location for the onsite technical support center and operational support center.
- However, habitabilitf studies for the onsite technical center have not been done.
The licensee stated (based on the latest generic meeting on this subject) that a study would be conducted for habitability based on existing DBAs except earthquake and tornado.
Adc'itionally,
they stated that as more guidance regarding real time instrumentation is developed, then construction of the technical center would not pose a major problem.
I stated that as a minimum, real time meteorology and final stack effluent instrumentation would be necessary in order fer the technical center to be used for offsite dose asses.=ments.
Th.>y agreed and stated that these instruments would 've di played in the technical center. The onsite technical support center will be (tentatively) located in the service building mezzanine and the onsite operation $1 support group center will be located in the lunch room adjacent to the shift supervisor's of fice.
3.
The licensee's plant currently does not provide high range instrementa-tion for conta inment monitoring or stack effluent monitoring as pe -
NUREG-0578. Currently, the licensee feels they can develop procedures to sample these locations to determine the concentrations of radicactivity. However, they do not b211 eve that real time instrumentation with the range requirements of NUREG-0578 is feasible at tnis cine. Consequently I asked them to tell us wha they f eel D
- refgasiblerangesfortheseinstruments, i.e., IO rads /hr instead of 10 rads /hr. They agreed to do this using the criteria of a General emergency as per NUo.EG-0610 (10% fuel :relt down).
4.
fhe licensee does not provide means for sampling react.r coolant or containment atmosphere as per NUREG-0578 without exceeding occupational dose limits. This may be a major problem for this plant because all reactor coolant samples are collected at a central sampling station located in the reactor building. This building would be uninhabitable after an accident involving failed fuel. Conscquently, CECO is conducting a study to provide an alternate sampling location. They currently feel that this may be the most difficult problem to resolve.
5.
The licensee has tentatively established a location for an offsite EOC for Federal, State and local officials. However, the State of Illinois is also establishing a local EOC which they believe to be the center where the State, County, and Federal "esponse will congregate.
Accordingly, CECO agreed to resolve this item with the State of Illams.
If Illinois wants to keep their local EOC, then CECO stated that they would develop a near-site EOC for relocating their command center. This command center is currently located in Chicago, Further, they agreed to develop, in bicek diagram form, the locations of these EOCs with a listing of the communications and instrumentatien available.

LaFall.= Ccunt ; Plan The existing Lai2ile County Plan was reviewej against the currant c'-iteria.
Curreatif, the State of Illinois plans to develop their own local plan f. r LaSalle County.
Tharefore, :t would not be pruder.~ to list any defencies at this time.
The State of Illiaola agreed to use me intoruation in t..e curr mt LaSalle Cmnty plan for dcveloping a new loca: plan.
jeat2 of Illinois PLin The State of Illinoit -lan was not reviewed at thie time.
Mr. E. Erie Jonas, Diretter, Illinois CSDA indicated that :he plan is currently being developed and should be ready (in draf t) for the G;vernor's staff by Decenber 31, 1979. The State plan will include the local pl'ns for Zicn, Dresden a..d Quad Cit _es.
iiowever, the LaSalie County plan will not be ready at that ti=e.
Mr. Jones agreed to begin work on the LaSalle local plan some time after the first of the year (1980).
Further, Mr. Jones indicated that approval of the local plan by June 1980 (proposed license date fer the LaSalle plant) may be dif ficult, but that his staff would do hat they could in order to make this date. The licensee agreed to help the State regarding this matter.
In general, the LaSalle Station emergency plan needs improvement in order to neet the acceptance criteria. The station plan revisions to meet
.4 1.10' and other acceptance criteria should not be a problem. A considerable delay in developing the State and local plans will probably cause slippage la :he NRC review of these plans.
