EMERGENCY CENTERS
Dear Mr. Eisenhut:
On June 18, 1980, Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) submitted a letter to the NRC describing its plans for plant emergency centers. The description attached to that letter contained an error in the listing of who will assume duties as the Emergency Coordinator in the control room. The replacement page attached to this letter corrects that error and should be substituted for the corresponding page in the original submittal. The change is marked by a vertical line in the right-hand margin.
Additionally, CP&L's June 18, 1980 letter requested a response by the NRC by July 3, 1980 if the staff had any concerns with CP&L's intended actions. To date, no reply has been received. CP&L, however, has reviewed a draft copy of NUREG 0696, " Functional Requirement for Safety Parameter Display, Technical Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility and Nuclear Data Link", dated July 1, 1980. The requirements contained in NUREG 0696 do not appear to completely agree with the proposals made by CP&L in its June 18, 1980 letter. CP&L, however, continues to believe that the plans and proposals outlined in our June 18, 1980 letter provide equivalent capabilities to thrse desired by the NRC. CP&L, therefore, is continuing with its present plans.
CP&L is coumitted to upgrading the emergency facilities at its nuclear units. Lack of either firm criteria or in-depth discussions with the NRC Staff, however, threatens to delay our scheduled completion of these

facilities or cause us to expend additional funds needlessly.
It is CP&L's desire to-resolve these matters as quickly as.possible in order that our present comitments.and goals can be completed.on time.

Yours very truly,

a BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT DESCRIPTION OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACILITES The Emergency Response Facilities which this Company will use at the Brunswick plant were planned to provide a full spectrum of. support for the affected 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, etc. 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-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 communications 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 Facilities 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 telephone, radio, and data communications (CRT) facilities; however, every effort
- 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 configuration 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 Shif t Operating Supervisor will serve as the Emergency Coordinator until properly relieved by the plant
. Operations Manager. The Operations Manager will-be assisted by the Shift Operating Supervisor, Shif t Foreman, Licensed and Auxiliary Operators and Security Guards.
Technical Support Center (TSC)
The Technical Support Center will provide a location to-house
. individuals who are. knowledgeable of and responsible for engineering and management support of plant operations following an event. The plant operators and' operating staff are responsible for the safe operation of the plant, and for the initial action to minimize the consequences of the event.
