EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS REQUIREMENTS FOR FULL POWER LICENSE Position Implement the North Anna Power Station Emergency Plan dated April 29, 1980; June 6, 1980; June 20, 1980 and June 25, 1980.
Discussion VEPCO will implement the revised plan on July 25, 1980. We find this accept-
- able, g
Position Submit 10 copies of the Emergency Plan Implementir.3 Procedures. The procedure:;
must reflect the requirements of the revised plan.
Discussion The North Anna staff is currently reviewing their emergency plan procedures (EPIP's) for any major inconsistancies as a result of the issuance of a revised emergency plan. As originally stated in their letter of April 8,1980 (Serial No. 317), 90 days are needed to completely revise procedures. VEPCO states that the North Anna procedures are substantially in agreement with the revised plan and most of the changes needed are in the minor details. The major changes required will be completed by July 18, 1980 and the other changes will be made within 90 day period as mentioned above.
We find the two stage approach acceptable. Prior to authorizing full power oper-ations we must receive 10 copies of the revised EPIPs.
VEPCO has comitted to supply the EPIP before July 25, 1980. We find this acceptable.
Position Perform an emergency response exercise to test the integrated capability and a major portion of the basic elements existing within emergency preparedness plans and organizaticas.
Discussion VEPC0 has proposed a joint emergency response exercise on or before August 16th with State, local agencies and Company represer.tatives to test the integrated capability and basic elements of the current State and Local Plans and the re-vised North Anna Emergency Plan.
This exercise wit 1 incorporate features of the interim duality of the State and North Anna Plans as discussed and agreed on at the meeting held between FEMA, NRC, Commonwealth of Virginia and Company repre-sentatives in Washington on July 15, 1980.
l
2-VEPCO has proposed to initiate the power ascension test program by August 1, 1980, and with all tests being performed as planned. The-unit power level would not exceed 50% full power and would not be operated above that level untilthecompletionoftheJointEmergency;ResponseExercise.
We do not find acceptable VEPCO's proposal for a power' ascension test program before the completion of a joint emergency response exercise.
Prior to au-thorizing full power operation, we require a joint emergency response exercise and a favorable report on that exercise from the Federal. Emergency Manage-
. ment Agency Position Submit a draft of the public information program material referenced in section 8.0 of the plan.
