Subject:

Arkansas Nuclear One-Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-313 and 50-368 License Nos. DPR-51 and NPF-6 Technical Support Center (File: 1510, 2-1510)

Gentlemen:

In our meetings with the Emergency Planning Review Team during the week of November 5,1979, we discussed our proposal for ils l long-term Technical Support Center. Since that time we have had several discussions / meetings with various NRC agbncies and the AIF as well as in -house. Based on these we wish to present the following revised proposal.

To meet the long-term requirements and to satisfy the needs identified in our extensive in-house reviews, we propos'e two Technical Support Centers as follows.

Primary Technical Support Center (PTSC)

Location -

The PTSC will be located in the ANO Adminis-tration Building. This will allow for quick activation of the center with rapid access to information.

Instrumentation -

The PTSC will be equipped with closed cir-cuit TV (CCTV) which will have pan and zoom features capable of reading vital instru-ments . Audio and video will be recorded.

A plant computer terminal will be installed providing access to all instrument readings etc. , available on that system.

MEMBEA MtOOLE SOUTH UTILITIES SYSTEM

P 1-010-2 2-010-3 Mr. Darrell G. Eisenhut January 17, 1980 Technical . Documents - The PTSC will have access to plant technical documents and drawings.

Communication - Intercom type communication will be in-stalled with the Control Room. In addi-tion, the PTSC will have access to the plant PAX system, the 4 channel wireless communication system, the gaytronics page system and the normal phone system.

Hard wira and wireless communications will be available to the Recovery Center and the Little Rock General Office.

Power Supply - The ANO Administration Building electri-cal loads are supplied from non-safety power sources.

Habitability -

The " habitability" of the PTSC will not be the same as the Control Room. However, as noted en Attachment 1, the ANO Adminis-tration Building is in one of the lowest predominant wind directions. Radiation alarms, protective clothing, and breath-ing apparatus will be available.

Security - The PTSC is located inside the ANO Aminis-

~

tration Building which is inside the Security perimeter.

In the event the PTSC should become uninhabitable, key TSC personnel (e.g., Plant Manager, Manager of Operatibns and Maintenance, etc.) would evacuate to the Control Room. Other TSC personnel would evacuate to the Secondary Technical Support Center.

Secondary Technical Support Center (STSC)

Location -

The STSC will be located on AP&L property within an expanded security controlled area approximately 0.65 miles from the plant with-in the Recovery Center and in a dedicated space.

1-010-2 2-010-3 Mr. Darrell G. Eisenhut January 17, 1980 Actual timed trials have indicated that it takes only about 3 minutes to be in the Control Room when leaving from this site.

Instrumentation -

The instrumentation will be the same as for the PTSC.

Communication - Communications will be the same as for the PTSC with the exception of the plant gaytronics system.

Technical Documents - Key technical documents and drawings will be in the STSC. The Recovery Center will house a technical library which will be in easy access of the STSC.

Power Supply - The Recovery Center will have a backup diesel generator to supply reciundant power to the normal offsite power source.

Habitability -

As noted on Attachment 1, the STSC is located in one of the lowest predomi-nant wind direction in a significantly different direction in relation to the

~

PTSC. The " habitability" of the STSC will be the same as the Contrcl Room.

Radiation alarms, protective clothing and breathing apparatus will be avail-able .

Security - The STSC is located on AP&L property. The area will be controlled, when utilized, by AP&L security units as well as possible assistance from local and state agencies.

The STSC is located in a pcrtion of the Recovery Center which is physically secure and access controlled to maintain separation of these personnel from the press, etc.

A separate guarded entrance is provided for AP&L personnel.

Physical access between the plant and the Recovery Center will be entirely on AP&L property with the exception that~ a county road will have to be crossed in a direct I785 130 .

1 1-010-2 2-010-3 Mr. Darrell G. Eisenhut January 17, 1980 path (perpendicular intersection). This access path will be controlled by AP&L and local / state authorities to assure unimpeded access for emergency response personnel.

All other personnel will access the Recovery Center via a separate access road.

Since early June 1979, AP&L has been involved in an extensive in-house review of emergency planning as a result of the Three Mile Island acci-dent. The results of our review were developed into plant specific modi-fications, tailored to coordinate with our personnel, organization, geo-graphy and available resources.

Following completion of that effort, we received your recommendations which basically encompassed our internal recommendaticns, but in a more general nature. We believe our above proposal is well conceived and will specifically and effectively serve a functional role in the event an accident were to occur at ANO.

Throughout the development of the proposal, we have studied all infor-mation available, including the recommendations of NRC, AIF, the State of Arkansas, the AP&L internal review, et al. We have paid particular atten-tion to the bases for the particular recommendations and tried to relate the recommendation to the specific observed problem area which prompted it.

Based on this, we are very confident that this prcpcsa! will address effectively, in a plant specific situation, observed and pcstulated problem areas. We encourage you to evaluate our proposal on its own merits recognizing the extensive amount of' research involved and the plant specific nature of the proposal. -

As we must order a substantial amount of equipment ar.d construct new facilities, time is of principal importance to allow us to meet your January 1,1981 deadline. Therefore, we' request your 5;. proval of our abcVe proposal by January 31, 1980.

Very truly yours, ,
