SUBJECT:

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS REVIEW OF PILGRIM 2 PSAR, N!ENDMENTS 40 AND 41 Enclosed is our input to the Pilgrim 2 Safety Evaluation Report. Based on our review of Pilgrim 2 PSAR, Amendments 40 and 41, we concluded that the emergency preparedness program as described meets the requirements of Part II of. Appendix E to 10 CFR 50. However, an independent evalua-tion of the evacuation time estimates submitted by the applicant identi-fied a potential major bottleneck 11.5 miles south of the site which is beyond the area considerti by the applicant in his study. The staff does not consider this signif vant enough to result in a negative find-ing but the evacuation time estimate study provided by the applicant must be expanded to analyze this problem.

Enclosed is a suggested draft letter transmitting the staff's comments along with a copy of the Battelle PNL evaluation to the applicant.

The conformance of the applicants to the requirements of NUREG-0718 will t,e transmitted separately.

Dear Mr. Butler:

AspartofourrehiewofAmendment41tothePilgrimStationUnit2 PSARanevaluationoftheehacuationcleartimesinPSARAppendix13A was conducted. The results of this ehaluat%n are enclosed.

This evaluation identified a potentially major bottleneck 11.5 miles south of Pilgrim II at the intersection of Route 3 and Route 6 immediately north of the daamore Bridge. Asaconsequence,yourehicuationtime analysis should be expanded to include all the area in the South and SSE sectors to the Cape Cod Canal and tnereby the intersection of Thisanalysismustehaluatethetimerequiredtoehacuate concern.

down Route 6A beyond the rotary.

13.3 EMERGENCY PLANNING Pilgrim Unit 2 is located in the township of Plymouth, Massachusetts.

The plume exposure Emergency Planning Zor.2 (EPZ), established for the site, is located entirely within the State of Massachusetts.

Its boundary extends 9.5 to 12 miles from the site and includes portions of fihetownships. PSAR figure 13-10A, reproduced here as Figure 13.3-1, shows the Pilgrim plume exasure EPZ. The ingestion pathway EPZ ex-tends into portions of the State of Rhode Island.

The Pilgrim Unit 2 emergency organization will consist of onsite and offsite Boston Edison personnel. PSAR Figures 13.3-4 reproduced here as Figure 13.3-2 shows the emergency organization structure. The station workforce will be capable of meeting the minimum emergency staffing requirements of NUREG-0654, Table B-1 during normal working hours. Daring the backshift and weekends the on-shift staffing levels will be met and call lists of off-shift will be used to augment the backshift to the levels specified in NUREG-0654, Table B-1 in the times specified. The applicant has identified the primary responsi-bilities of the major elements of the emergency organization. The on-duty Watch Engineer will become the Emergency Director, who will be responsible for accident assessment, accident classification and the decision to notify and provide protective action recommendations to offsite authorities.

and the townships within the plume EPZ were submitted for Pilgrim Unit 1 in response to the requirements of 10 CFR 30.54. These plans, along with the letters of agreement in the PSAR, demonstrate that preliminarycontactsandarrangementshahebeenmadewithoffsite agencies.

The four standard emergency classes (i.e., Notification of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency and General Emergency) have been establishedbitheapplicant,Stateandlocalgehernments.

ihe appli-cantwilldehelopemergencyactionlehelswhichwillbeusedto classify events in accordance with Appendix 1 to NUREG-06b4. The methodology for classification of Site and General Emergencies will not require any calculations, analysis or other personnel action which cannot be completed within 15 minutes. The applicant's initial noti-fication of the State and the town of Plymouth will be within 15 minutes of declaration of the emergency. Theapplicantwillprohideprotectihe action recommendations for consideration of offsite authorities. These recommendations will be made based on plant conditions or projected dosesandconsiderationofoffsiteprotectiheactionstrategiesandEPA Protective Action Guides. The applicant has under design as required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix E for Pilgrim 1, the means for providing early warning and an information message to the population within the plume EPZ within 15 minutes.

IntheehentofanemergencyatthePilgrimstation, the Rhode Island authorities will be notified either by the Emergency Director or Massachusetts Civil Defense Agency depending on the emergency.

. Decontaminationandfirstaidfacilitieswillbeprohidedatthe station.

In the event these facilities are not available, an area within the Emergency Operations Facility will be used for first aid and an adjacent location will be designated for decontamination. An agree-ment has bean reached with a local ambulance service to provide trans-portation of cor 'aminated injured.

Agreementshahebeenreachedwithr.nearbyhospitalandahospitalin Boston for treatment of injured contaminated pla'nt personnel.

The applicants' training p-ogram will include general orientation training and retraining for all plant personnel and special training and retraining for applicant personnel with specific duties and re-sponsibilities. Tiis training will ensure that all plant personnel haYeatho.'oughknowledgeoftheirspecificdutiesduringanemergency.

Each of the offsite Federal, State and local support agencies will be invited to participate in training on notification procedures, their expected roles, and basic radiation protection. Periodic drills and L

exercises will be con 9 ;ted to evaluate major portions of the emergency responsecapabilityanotodehelopandmaintainskills.

The applicant has performed an analysis that projects the time required to evacuate various sectors and distances within the plume EpZ. Tnis analysis did not set forth any problems precluding evacuation as a

protectiYemeasure.

However, the NRC has required the applicant to extend the study area to include the area south of the site to the Cape Cod Canal and to identify potential problem areas such as traffic bottlenecks that require advance planning.

A meteorological system and atmospheric dispersion portion of the overall dose calculation and projection system will be implemented in accordance with the guidelines in Appendix 2 of NUREG-0654, i

Revision 1.

The monitors described in Regulatory Guide 1.97, Re-vision 2 for Type E variables will be used for real time dose projections.
