We have reviewed the Yankee Rowe Emergency Plan, References 1 and 2, and
===s find that the plan meets'the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 yks; and the applicable Regulatory Positions of Regulatory Guide 1.101 dated
{
E November 1975.
Although implementing procedures appended to the plan were
~ ;g.

and not to the details of the procedures.

The normal organization for coping with emergencies consists of the-plant
.If operating staff under the direction of the shift supervisor (or a designated 27 alternate) who is the designated Emergency Director.
Upon declaration of a jf3 more serious emergency, the operating staff would be supplemented by non-shift fp operating personnel and corporate staff under~a designated Emergency Coordinator Q=
p and in the case of an.offsite release of radioactivity, local, State and' E=7 l
- ..J-Federal Agencies and support services.
In order to put emergency procedures into effect with a minimum of delay a tag board system for plant persennel is in effect.
This board categorizes and details the responsibilities of pertinent plant personnel arriving at an emergency coordination center at
(
the plant.
All members of the plant staff are ass'igned and indoctrinated M

L:l The offsite emergency organization consists of State and local Agencies

and local support servides. The Departments of Health of Massachusetts and Vermont are the pri=e State Agencies for radiological emergency planning. Monroe Fire Department personnel have received ' training in radiological safety and are familiar with the plant fire protection In the case of an offsite release of radioactivity, or the judg=ent system.
by plant personnel that such may be immenent, the State Police of Vermont and u
.nr.d' Massachusetts, who have been designated as the prime offsite response authorities, would immediately establish liaison with the Yankee Rowe

Emergency Coordinator at either the prime Energency Operations Center (EOC) e at the Fulton House or the alternate EOC at the Harriman hydroelectric station, as appropriate.
State Health Department representatives would r=
also be dispatched to the EOC.
Both EOCs are well equipped with communications facilities and a complement of emergency supplies and' equipment, and tag boards, are made availabic at the prime EOC.
Means for detecting abnormal and emergency conditions at the plant include.
personnel observation and fixed and portable instrumentation.
A variety of radiological and non-radiological detectors are located throughout the plant.
Audible and visible alarms would sound locally i remotely (in.
the control room) should an abnormal situation, be detected.
Redundant means for detection are available in.that numerous process variables are

Many of the plant safety systems operate automatically so that some corrective measures are initiated im=ediately.upon the detection of selected abnor=al.conditionse Portable radiological and ce=munications equipment would be used as an aid in determining the extent b
and level of onsite and offsite contamination should there be a release of radioactive material.
Data from the Yankee Rowe environ = ental monitor stations would also be immediately available for analysis.
Acceptable criteria for notification of offsite agencies and support services, and fM==
