Dear Mr. Schwencer:
53 Submitted herewith are ten (10) copies of the Joseph M.
Farley Nuclear Plant Emergency Plan, revision 4, to meet the requirements of NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, Criteria for Prepara-tion and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants and the requirements of the emergency planning final rule, published in Federal Register, August 19, 1980 in support of the issuance of a full power operating license for Unit 2 of the subject plant.
This submittal also meets the requirements of section 50.54, paragraph (s) (1) for Unit 1 of the subject plant.
In order to meet the requirements of section 50.54, paragraph (q), a control number has been assigned to each copy of the Emer-gency Plan submitted and a transmittal form requesting receipt verification is provided.
Changes to the plan will be developed in accordance with section 50.54, paragraph (q) and distributed to holders of controlled copies (including NRR and I&E) as they are approved.
Other areas related to Emergency preparedness, specifically development of the Technical Support Center and the on site (with-in approximately 1/2 mile of the plant) Emergency Operations Facility are being pursued in accordance with draft NUREG-0696, Functional Criteria for Emercency Response Facilities.
In addition, the requirements of paragraph III.A.l.l. of NUREG-0694, TMI-Related Reauirements for New Operating Licenses b-geg n m y &M-f h60 un m.

Mr. A. Schwencer October 28, 1980 Page Two are addressed in attachments 1 through 3 of this letter.
Emer-gency Implementing Procedures (EIP's) required by paragraph V of Appendix E will~be forwarded by November 6, 1980.
The State of Alabama's revised plan is not printed; however, it should be available by October 31, 1980 and will be submitted at that time by separate correspondence.
The Alabama Power Company Emergency Plan for the Joseph M.
Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 has been reviewed by the Plant Operations Review Committee (PORC) and the Nuclear Opera-tions Review Board (NORB) in accordance with section 50.54, para-graph (q) to verify that revision 4 of the subject plan does not reduce the effectiveness of the plan.
Very truly yours,.

ATTACHMENT 1 PROMPT NOTIFICATION SYSTEM The. concept currently envisioned employs a combination of sirens and NOAA transmitter / receivers.
We presently have a con-tractor conducting-a detailed survey and studies to determine the most efficient and effective system.
Alabama Power Company will make every reasonable effort to provide a useful notification system within the required time frame in accordance with the following tentative schedule:
January 1, 1981 Receive final survey report March 1,-1981 Order equipment June 1, 1981 Receive equipment July 1, 1981 S mtem operational

ATTACHMENT 2 METEOEOLUGUCAL SITERIA FOR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AT OPERATING NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS
.A.
PRESENT COMPLIANCE (INTERIM FOUR ELEMENT COMPLIANCE) 1.
Element 1 Requirement:
"A primary meteorological measurements program with redundant power sources for the primary-system".
Commitment:
The following instrumentation is presently operational on site:
Wind speed - 150 ft. above grade Wind direction - 150 ft. above grade AT
- between 10 meters and 200 ft.
y The instrumentation is powered from normal station service power supplies.
A backup power supply is provided locally at the meteorolo ical tower by an emergency genera-s tor.
Readout is provided locally and in the control room.
2.
Element 2 Requirement:
"A backup. meteorological measurements system with redundant power sources".
Commitment:
The following instrumentation is presently operational on site:
Wind speed - 35 ft. above grade Wind direction - 35 ft. above grade AT (Redundant) - between 10 meters and 200 ft.
2 The instrumentation is powered from normal station service power supplies.
A backup power supply is
_provided locally at the meteorological tower by an emergency generator.
Readout is provided locally and in the control room.
Page 1 of 4
3.-
Element 3 Requirement:
"A system for making real-time predictions of the atmospheric effluent transport and diffusion".
Commitment:
A dose calculational method (DCM) is available in the control room which uses source term inputs from either radiation monitoring readings and/or sampling results and wind speed and direction inputs from either the primary or backup meteorological monitoring system.
A conserv,ative stability class is assumed to determine projected dose rates and projected integrated dose for various distances out to 10 miles from the. plant.
4.
Element 4 Requirement:
"A' capability for remote interrogation, on-demand, of the atmospheric measurements and predictions systems by the licensee, emergency response organi-zations, and the NRC staff with primary and backup communications systems".
Commitment:
Interrogation on demand by appropriate outside authorities can be accomplished by verbal trans-mission of requested data via the Emergency Noti-fication Network and the NRC Ring Down communications line as a primary method.
Commercial land lines provide a backup communications capability.
5.
Compensatory Measures Requirement:
"(ii)
The DCM portion relating to the transport and diffusion of gaseous effluents should be consistent with the characteristics of the Class A model outlined in element 3 to Appendix 2 to NUREG-0654".
Compensatory Measure:
The dose calculational method uses a site-specific modification of the methodology described in Reg. Guide 1.111, " Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Disper-sion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water Cooled Reactors" and a con-servative assumed atmospheric stability classi-fication.
This methodology is consistent with the characteristics of the Class A Model outlined in. element 3 of Appendix 2 to NUREG-0654.

"(iii)
Maintain telephone access to the individual responsible for making offsite dose projections (Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 (IV) (A) (4) ].
Provide number and contact indivi-duals by March 1, 1981".
Compensatory Measures:
The Shift Supervisor / Emergency Director is responsible for dose projections.
This func-tion may be assigned to a member of the staff when the TSC is activated.
In any event the individual can be contacted via the NRC Ring Down communications line or via a commercial land line at (205) 899-5156, (205) 899-5157, or (205) 794-0800.
Compensatory measures shall not be exercised past April 1, 1982.
