20555 BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT NOS.1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-325 AND 50-324 LICENSE NOS. DPR-71 AND DPR-62 EMERGENCY CENTERS
Dear Mr. Eisenhut:
The purpose of this letter is to describe to you and your staff Carolina Power & Light Company's (CP&L) intentions with regard to plant emergency centers which must be constructed or established to meet end of the year commitments and requirements. The plans described l
herein are based ~on our understanding of the published guidance pre-sently available, discussions with the NRR Short Term Lessons Learned Implementation Teams and NRR Emergency Planning Teams, and our telephone conversation with your staff on May 13, 1980.
As discussed in the attachment, CP&L is not planning to construct a single hergency Operations Facility (EOF) as described in your April 25, 198t letter.
Instead, our Recovery Center, Media Center and Local Emergency Operations Center will be established to fulfill the same functions as an EOF. Utilizing these facilities rather than constructing an E0F is a desirable option for the following reasons:
1.
It utilizes facilities which are already included in State and Local Emergency Preparedness planning for all types of emergencies.
2.
It does not require State and Local officials to relocate from
-their normal work stations which gives them better access to their resources.
3.
All the functional capabilities of NRC guidance are met by use of these existing structures for recovery, media briefing and local emergency operations.

BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT DESQRIPTION OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACILITIES The Emergenc;. Response Facilities which this Company will use at the Brunswick plant vere planned to provide a full spectrum of support for' the af fected plant and surrounding area. We have developed a comprehensive, flexible response complex which facilitates coordinated action-by Company, National, State and Local Authorities while providing support to the news media and enhancing receipt of support from outside organizations such as NSSS Vendors, A/E's, acc.- The control room meets wide accident spectrum habitability criteria and the On-Site Technical Support Center meets habitability requirements as described later.
The entire emergency response complex will be linked by a compre-l hensive communications network. The network hardware uses Bell systems, the Company microwave net, data links, and radio to provide:
(a) voice communication through normal telephone use, automatic ringdown (hot line) between selected centers, conference call capability, speaker phones and operator assistance where required; (b) radio communicationa between selected Company vehicles (Radiation Monitoring, Corporate Management, Health Physics) and appropriate fixed locations, as well as with State mobile units and fixed locations; (c) facsimile and telex transmission; (d) data transmission via data link.
Specific information about each of the Emergency Response Facil-ities and their role in time of an emergency is set forth below:
Control Room The ; function of the control room at Brunswick is plant control.
Adequate instrumentation, controls, and communications are provided for this purpose. Control room personnel will have direct access to tele-phone, radio, and data communications (CRT) facilities; however, every efrort will be made to route incoming communications to the on-site Technical-Support Center, thereby shielding the control room personnel from outside interference while allowing them free access to outside assistance if required.
Wide accident spectrum habitability standards as described in the FSAR are met for the control room. The location and internal config-uration are shown in the Brunswick FSAR, Figures 12.2-3 and 12.2-4.
! Emergency personnel who will operate the control room area are the Emergency Coordinator and Emergency Team. The shift foreman will serve as the Emergency Coordinator until properly relieved by the plant Operations Manager.
The Operations Manager will be assisted by the Shif t 0perating Supervisor, Shift Foreman, Licensed and Auxiliary Oper-
[
L ators and Security Geards.
' Technical Support Center (TSC) i I
. The Technical Support Center will provide a location to house
-individuals.who are knowledgeable of and responsible for engineering and l
- management support of plant operations following an event. The plant l
operators and operating staff are responsible for the safe operation of
-the plant, and for the initial action to minimize the. consequences of l-the event.

. The function of the TSC is to serve as a location from which solutions to long term problems are determined in support of the oper-ations' staff.
Examples of this support are recommendations for system line-up and long term plant assessment.
In order to provide this support, plant design / operation information in the form of drawings, FSAR, unit Technical Specifications, visual display of parameters (CRT),
a line printer for selected plant parameters, and local TSC radiation monitors and alarms, will be available. This information will allow the TSC personnel to assess the status'of the plant and stay abreast of the plant parameters.
The Brunswick Technical Support Center (TSC) will be incorporated into the new Document Control Building previously scheduled for con-struction in 1980. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3.1 of the Brunswick Security Plan, the TSC will be located outside the protected area security fence south of the existing Training Building.
This location is approximately 400 feet from the Unit 2 Reactor Building. Travel time between the TSC and the control room is approximately five (5) minutes.
Upon activation of the TSC, entry will be controlled by a security guard that will be stationed at the entrance.
It will be built in accordance with the local building code and is designed to meet the habitability requirements specified in H. R.
Denton's letter of October 30, 1979. Dose limits from direct radiation, using the assumptions and calculations described in our December 31, 1979 correspondence on Short Term Lessons Learned Item 2.1.6.b, will allow continuous occupancy once the TSC is activated. A backup facility is not planned and is not deemed necessary.
The TSC building will be supplied electrical service from two separate sources through an automatic transfer switch. Upon loss or degradation of the normal source, the entire building load will be automatically transferred to the alternate source. The building will not be supplied from an emergency bus. One of the power sources is fed from the Unit I startup transformer and the other source is fed from the Unit 2 startup transformer.
A complete loss of off-site power to both switchyard grids is deemed to be a highly unlikely event in view of the eight available high voltage lines. A complete loss of off-site power to both units has not occurred to date.
The TSC data acquisition.ystem will consist of a dedicated com-puter system. All data displayed or recorded in the TSC will be provided by this system. The system hardware includes the following as shown in Figure 2:
1.
16' Bit CPU, 64K memory with' battery backup and dual diskette drives.
2.
Color operators console.
.3.
Video copier.-
f4.
Two keyboard / printers.
)
5.-
Universal. field mulitplexer' cabinets with signal input cards for lunit parameters, l
p
,.,.*: The system will have the following capabilities:
1.-
Display or_ print out real time values or parameters.
2.
Provide a time history record of vital parameters from the time of the initiating event.
3.
Record historical data on diskettes.
4.1 Perform special calculations with parameter values.
5.
Print out alarm messages when parameters exceed predetermined 1 values.
Computer input signals will be paralleled from the process com-puters so that they will not be dependent upon operation of the process computer.
Signals deemed necessary that are not available at the pro-ness computers 1:111 o+ obtained from the individual instrument loops.
Signals taken from class 1E instrument loops will be through suitable isolation devices.
The computer system as configured is expandable for extra input parameters, off-site data transmission, and oth'r foreseeable future e
requirements.
The power supply for the computer and peripherals will be from the TSC building power.
The power supply for the universal field multi-plexer cabinets will be the plant UPS system. One cabinet will be supplied f rom Unit i and the other from Unit 2.
There till also be a separate terminal and video copier located in the TSC which may be connected to 'either unit's process computer. This will provide an additional information gathering ability if the process computer is operational.
The On-Site Technical Support Center will be staffed by the Plant General Manager and by on-site-personnel.
The plant Emergency Plan designates the following personnel to staff the TSC:
Technical s Administrative Manager Maintenance Manager
^
Environmental & Radiation Control Supervisor As Required Others'
. Emergency Operations Facility
~
.The functions of the Emergency Operations Facility, as described in D. G. Eisenhut's letter of April 25, 1980, are:

2.-
Analyses of plant effluents.
m_d
4 3.
Off-site monitoring for off-site action decisions.
4.
Briefing location for off-site officials and press people.
CP&L will provide the above functions with redundant coverage by the interaction of the Recovery Center, Plant Media Center, and Local Emergency Operations Center (LEOC). These three centers will be con-nected with a comprehensive, redundant communications network which allows ~ personnel located in the centers to act in concert to perform all functions as if they were housed together, while retaining the ability to relocate from any one of the three should it become uninhabitable.
In addition to the normal communications systems, an emergency system will tie the three centers together and provide access to all required locations. Telephone circuits and radio nets will provide redundant, flexible communications for the centers.
Recovery Center The Recovery Center at BSEP is in the existing Training Building.
Provisions have been mada for expansion into construction buildings and mobile facilities if required. The Training Building is pre-engineered masonry and steel construction.
The need for a comprehensive backup facility is under investigation and one will be provided if deemed necessary.
The Recovery Center will be managed by the Vice President, Nuclear Operations. The Recovery Organization is staffed to provide support in:
Plant Operations Construction Technical Support Administration and Logistics Engineering Radiological Control and Waste Each of these support functions is directed by an experienced manager who reports to the Recovery Manager.
Plant Media Center
- The existing visitors center at Brunswick and temporary trailers will~ serve as an interim media center.
In addition to normal communi-cations, the visitors center and the trailers--to be placed in the center parking lot for the duration of an emergency--will be tied into the emergency network. The visitors center will provide a small briefing area equipped with some visual aid capacity, while the' trailers will provide office space for company personnel, state agency representatives, Nuclear Regulatory Commission public information representatives, and work space for media representatives. Provisions have been made for the Bell system to provide telephones for~use by company and regulatory personnel as well.as - separate telephone facilities for news personnel.
f j,,.
' r It'is anticipated that' an additional permanent building will be constructed at the Brunswick plant. When this is constructed, it will
' be' designated as the, permanent media center. All of the facilities will be moved co this center. This facility will provide work and office space for company and regulatory personnel as.well as work space for the media and an assembly area for news, briefings.
The plant Media Center is staffed by the. Site Public Information Coordinator and Corporate Public Information personnel. The facility is designed to facilitate use by Corporate, State and Federal spokesmen.
