a.
General
The licensee had originally committed to conduct a drill having a
scope equivalent to e Site Emergency on or before November 30, 1980.
Subsequent to that original commitment, the licensee formally reques-
ted an extension to permit installation of upgraded emergency equipment
which would not be installed by the original November 30 commitment date.
The revised date was set as December 10, 1980.
Per the commitment in the licensee's reply to IAL 80-31, the NRC was
p-ovided with notification of the drill date, in writing, and the
scenario was coordinated with NRC Region I.
b.
Pre-Drill Activities
Prior to initiation of the drill, the inspectors. net with licensee
personnel to discuss details of the scenario.
The scenario involved
a simulated leak of a reactor coolant bleed tank followed by complete
rupture due to an explosion.
This accident sequence resulted in
aerosolization of radioactive liquid with subsequent release to the
environment.

(3) Assessment actions;
(4) Plant evacuation;
(5) Coordination and control of the response;
(6) Offsite radiological monitoring;
(7) Radiation Protection; and,

emergency organization's performance and highlighted significant
items.

comments were being documented for followup.

and participants and the NRC observers, the inspectors concluded
that although there were items identified which exhibited a potential
for a degraded response, the licensee demonstrated the ability to
adequately implement the existing Emergency Plan.
