Dear Pr. Eisenhut:
This letter provides the response requested in the February 18, 1981 letter, D.
G.
Eisenhut to All Licensees of Operating Plants.
The t!RC letter establishes minimum staffing levels for emergency situations. provides a preposal for staf fing Peach Bottom that we believe satisfies the intent of the NRC criteria.
Additionally, the NRC letter requests a conceptual design by June 1,
1981 for meeting the location and habitability criteria for the Technical Support Center (TSC) and Em er genc y Operations Facility (EOF).
A permanent TSC 4 EOF is being constructed for the Peach Bottom facility as described in the January 2, 1990 letter, S. L.
Daltroff, Philadelphia Electric Company to H.
R.
Denton, NRC, and in the Peach Bottom Em er g e ncy Plan submitted on January 2, 1981.
Completion of these emergency facilities is expected by Summer, I
1981.
Our plans and schedules for upgradins, the emergency facilities in response to NRC criteria will be submitted by June 1,
1981.
Very truly yours,
fOYS y b oep s

r Enclosure I Minimum Staffing Proposal For Peach Bottom The attached table proposes the minimum staffing requirements for the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station to take effect in two stages:
September 1, 1991, and July 1, 1982.
In several aspects, the proposed staffing exceeds the NRC criteria, while other aspects involve proposed deviations from the criteria.
A discussion of the proposal follows:
1.
The proposal would require a total minimum staff for emergencies of 22 (2 more than the NRC criteria).
The additions involve personnel dedicated to mechanical maintenance, and instrument and control maintenance.
2.
We are proposing that the "30 minute" staffing requirement be changed to either "on shif t" or "60 minutes", depending on the function performed.
Generally, the "30 minute" concept is feasible during day shif ts; however, based on the remete location of the Peach Bottom site, we would be unable to guarantee arrival of personnel specified in the NRC criteria within "30 minutes" during backshifts and weekends.
We propose to provide on-shift personnel, in lieu of "30 minute" call-in, for those who would be expected to perform vital tasks within 60 minutes after an emergency has been declared, and establish a 60 minute arrival period for.the other personnel.
1.
We are in compliance with the footnote (*) on staffing of the unaffected unit in operation.
One control room operator, and one auxiliary operator are maintained for the unaffected unit, and the shift foreman is available for both units (units share a common control rcom).
4 We propose that the double asterisk footnote ()
apply to the fire brigade.
The Peach Bottom fire brigade organization consists of the Shift Supervisor (shift for em a n) and fo ur auxiliary operators.
The fire department is located within five miles of the plant, and can be expected to respond promptly to an emergency.
5.
Our proposed staffing for September 1, 1981, orovides for augmentation within 30 minutes of all deviations from the NRC criteria, as permitted in the February 18, '981, letter from Mr. Eisenhut.
Therefore, we will -be in compliance with the September 1,
1981, staffing requirement.

Deviations from the NRC July 1,
198 2, Minimum Staf fing Criteria a.
A second communicator, ISC technician to backup the electrical maintenance /I' C, and a second H.P.-technician 2
to support the onsite and inplant surveys, will be assigned to each shift rather than rely on a 30 minute arrival. time and therefore exceeds NRC criteria.
'de consider their functions to be beneficial during the early phase of an emergency.
b.
- de propose to change the 30 minute' call-in to 60 minutes for the senior HP expertise, two H.P. technicians, off site surveyor and inplant surveyor.
On shift personnel are available to perform the necessary surveys during the first hour of the emergency.
Additionally, operating shift personnel are capable, using installed instrumentation, of measuring dose levels within and outside the plant to the extent necessary for initiating protective action for both the public and onsite personnel.
Ultimately, as required by the NRC, computerized of f-site dose calculations will be av ailable to supplement-existing techniques.. Th erefore,
additional health physics support is not required during the first hour of the emergency.
c.
Additionally, we propose to change the 30 minute call-ins to 60 minutes for the core thermal hydraulics technical support.
The training programs have been upgraded to provide the Shif t Technical Advisor and the licensed operators with the core thermal hydraulic knowledge required during transient and accident conditions.
This expertise is therefore shared with existing cersonnel on shift and we have so indicated with a 1
on the procosed staffing table.
