GLEN ELLYN, ILLINOls 60137 NOV 19 539 Docket No. 50-155 Docket No. 50-255 Consumers Power Company AITN:
Mr. R. B. DeWitt Vice President Nuclear Operations 212 West Michigan Avenue Jackson, MI 49201 Gentlemen:
The NRC has reviewed existing systems for emergency communications and, as a result, certain modifications will be made to the equipment associated with the Emergency Notification System and the Health Physics Network.
Following is a discussion of the changes which will be initiated.
The NRC intends to have lamps installed on emergency phones in all control rooms, technical support centers, and emergency operations facilities.
These lights will indicate when the phone is ringin3 This should be helpful in those areas where many phones are located.
The NRC will also install output jacks on one extension each of the Emergency Notification System and the Health Physics Network. These jacks will provide the capability for adding one-way speakers to these systems. Two-way (talk-listen) speaker systems will not be permitted because they would add additional and unnecessary parties to the conversation which could cause some confusion and possibly hinder the transmission of plant data.
The NRC will pay for the installation of these jacks. However, any plant desiring a one-way speaker must purchase the equipment. Please select one location for each of the systems, not to include the control rooms, and inform Mr. C. J. Paperiello of my staff, in writing, within 25 days after receipt of tL s letter.
