Reference:

(a) License No. DPR-36 (Docket No. 50-309)

(b) Letter USNRC to MY dated February 25,1981 (Generic Letter 81-04)

Subject:

Emergency Procedures and Training for Station B~1ackout Events

Dear Sir:

This letter responds to your information request concerning emergency procedures and training for station blackout events transmitted via Generic Letter 81-04, Reference (b).

Station blackout was addressed during the operating license proceedings for Maine Yankee. Maine Yankee responses to NRC staff questions on station blackout were provided (answers 8.10 and 10.2) in Amendment 21 suomitted March 30, 1971 and Amendment 22 submitted April 21, 1971.

Maine Yankee's current procedures do not explicitly address station blackout. These procedures are being revised, however, to cover this event explicitly.

Completion of the revisions to plant procedures necessary to cover station blackout will be complsted, reviewed, approved, and issued by September 1, 1981.

Maine Yankee's current training program and requalification program do not explicitly address station blackout although this event and subsequent operator actions and observations are discussed. The training and requalification programs are being revised to formally address station blackout.

The requalification program sessions on station blackout are scheduled to begin in the Fall of 1981 and end before the beginning of 1982.

The schedule for training on station blackout shows completion of this training about three months later than the six month schedule suggested in Reference (b).

This revised schedule is necessary to ensure that all personnel requiring this training can be scheduled for it and to allow for one or more makeup sessions should they be necessary and to allow this subject to be covered in currently scheduled requalification programs.

It is justified by the fact that the V

Eisenhut Page 2 extension is small, that the subject of station blackout has been addressed informally, and further by the familiarity with station blackout procedures that personnel will gain when they study the revised procedure and its bases on their own following its issue. Self study of the revised procedure and its bases is an interim substitute for formal documented training.

The revised procedure and training sessions will include consideration of all topics described in Reference (b) applied on a plant specific basis.

We trust this information is satisfactory.
