.0conee fluclear Power Units 1, 2 and 3 We have reviewed the Duke Power Company (DPC) Emergency Plan (the Plan) for Oconee fluclear Power Units 1, 2 and 3 against the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 and find the Plan to meet these requirements and to be Chapter 12 of the licensee's Safety Analysis acceptabic.

The organization for coping with emergencies consists of onsite and offsite plant _and DPC personnel and offsite State The Shift and Federal Agencies and local support services.

Duke Power Company organization will provide necessary support through the local District Manager, including a representative at the Emergency Control Center at the i

Walhalla, S. C. Court House should the health and safety t

of the public be of concern.

Trained plant personnel are available to provide first aid, fire, explosives and radiation monitoring assistance in an emergency.

The offsite emergency organizatipn consists of medical support services (physicians, ambulance, Oconee MemoYial llospital) trained in handling radiation contamination and injuries, firemen trained in the rudiments of radiation safety (0conec i

County Rural Fire Protective Association), the South Carolina Department of 1:aalth and Environmental Control (llEC) (the lead State Agency), the South Carolina liighway Patrol, the Oconee

~

and Pickens County Civil Defense Agencies and County Sheriffs, and the School District of Oconee County.

DPC has entered into written agreements with these parties.

In an extreme emergency involving offsite releases of radioactivity the State has, by written agreement, delegated cognizant DPC personnel t.he authority 'to directly an'd immediately notify ' local officials.

The. South Carolina Emergency Plan calls for annual drills and the plant plan calls for drills at a higher frequency.

Equipment, procedures and sensors at the plant are available to detect and correct radiation and fire emergencies.

first aid, fire fighting and radiation monitoring equipment are located throughout the plant and site.

Communications equipment consists of telephones, microwave and broadcast band-I radio, portable radio, including redundant Security Force cocmunication links, and emergency vehicl'es.

The plant Security l

Force is trained in crowd, riot and bomb control, and comunications.

At least three fixed radiation monitors are calibrated to sense radiation levels that would be associated wit.h high level' radionuclide effluents and two of these sensors are separately alarmed to signal the enset of such conditions.

These alarms, in conjunction with alanas from non-radiological instruments, would signal for the implementation of emergency procedures (including corrective r:easures, protective measures, and communications to onsite and offsite persons) to protect plant equipment and personnel, visitors and offsite persons. An extensive offsite environmental monitoring program is conducted to, detect radionuclides in the environment, data from which would be immediately'available during an emergency.

Should an emergency arise that would require the implementation-of the particular protective measure ~ of_ evacuation of offsite persons, the Oconee or.Pickens County Civil Defense Organization, as appropriate, would direct the" local _' activities upon notification

~

.._es__

by the Oconee Shift Supervisor and verification of the notification by the local Civil Defense.

Onsite meteorological information would indicate potentially affected areas.

Police Agencies would direct traffic and Civil Defense workers would conduct a door-to-door warning and instruction of the populace using maps and grids showing the locations of all members of the general public in the immediate downwind area. Progress would be monitored by the Sheriff's Offices, using master maps.

Radios would be used as the prime means for communications among the emergency workers.

Radio stations WS! W-Seneca, MG0G-Malhalla and UI.LP-Easley, manned by Civil Defense workers, would be used to inform the public of actions to be taken by them, either initially or as follow-up af ter pers'onal cont'act had been made.

Acceptable criteria have been es,tablished to limit doses to plant personnel, the public and emergency workers, including the reentry phase.

Acceptable life-saving dose criteria and reentry criteria have also been established.
