Dear Sir:
Subject:
Emergency Procedures and Training for Station Blackout Events In accordance with the referenced Generic Letter 81-04 Vermont Yankee has assessed facility procedures and training programs with respect to the capability to mitigate a station blackout event. We believe that current practices sufficiently address the necessary actions to recover from a blackout ev(nt.
There are, however, ongoing efforts, consistent with regulatory requirements, to enhance the safe shutdown capability.
The current requalification training program encompasses the review of those emergency procedures related to station blackout events. Additionally, the simulator exercises in the 1981 program include response to a complete loss of A.C. power.
It is Vermont Yankee's intention to factor into the training program any changes or improvements in the safe shutdown capability.
The non-availability of systems due to a conplete loss of A.C.
power is within the scope nf multiple failures considered in the development of Vermont Yankee Emergency Procedures.
The Emergency Procedure Guidelines contain the essential actions and cautions for mitigation of the consequences of a station blackout event with regard to assurance of adequate core cooling.
Implementation of revised emergency procedures will take place consistent with the schedule for i40/5
