Subject:

Minor Chage to'the NBSR Emergency' Plan,.

, ,p .

. Docket No. 50-184 IN '

Centlemen:

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has.made a minor change to the NBSR Emergency ?lan in accordance-with.10 CFR'50.54(q) to improve i its effectiveness. The change involves:the use'of search or surveillance.

or both as an alternate method of accounting for personnel in the W Confinement Building during a site area emergency. The present method of

. using the status-board, cards and logs has become impractical and time consuming due to the.large number of personnel on the access list relative to the small number actually in the butiding. The alternate '

- method provides for'a reliable and quick way to account for personnel and l was used successfully (along with the old method) in a recent exercise, j The change, effective. November 13, 1989, involves Section 7.5(c) step 2,  ;

=page 14 of the Emergency Plan, however, the entire page was retyped.

Please substitute the enclosed revised page for the existing one.

5. Isolation of the Confinement Building and restricting or blocking access to the Reactor Site.

7.6 PROTECTIVE ACTION EXPOSURE CUIDELINES The Emergency Director will determine appropriate dose limits within and outside the Facility based on evaluation of the situation at the time.

In general, the following limits are established for essential or rescue personnel and may not be exceeded without permission of the Emergency Director.

, a. Lifesaving Activities: 25 rem

b. Other Serious Events: 5 rem 7.7 EMERCENCY HEALTH PHYSICS PROGRAM P

Emergency equipment and supplies are available at the Facility and l include protective clothing, self-contained breathing apparatus, survey .

instruments and dosimeters.

L Survey instruments will be used for monitoring both within and L outside the Reactor Site. Contamination monitoring will utilize one or I more of the following if necessary: air sampling, swipe tests, and I

water, soil or vegetation sampling.

Data collected will be transmitted to Health Physics and will be used to derive assessments. Records of radiation surveys will be maintained by Health Physics. Assessment sammaries will be promptly communicated to the Emergency Director.
