Re: lline liile Point Unit 1 Docket No. 50-220 P
s DPR-63
' f' g g,
Dear fir. Grier:
Your letter of July 1,1981, requested that Niagara Mohawk provide information regarding the Prompt Notification System for the plume exposure Emergency Planning Zone around _Nine liile Point Unit 1.
The information below addresses your request.
Niagara Mohawk's letter to fir. H.R. Denton dated June 30, 1981 indicated L
that the Prompt Notification System required by 10CFR 50 Appendix E would not be completed by July 1,1981. That letter described the compensating actions being taken to fulfill the notification requirements.
A brief description of the proposed notification system was also included.
l A <fetailed description of the proposed syr '.en was subnitted by fir. T. J.
Perkins, to fir. Donald B. Davidoff, Project flanager, Nuclear Emergency Planning Group, New York State Department of Health, on flay 27, 1981. lie believe that this information was subsequently transmitted to the Federal l
Emergency Management Administration, for their review.
Since the Federal l
Energency Management Administration is responsible for reviewing the design and acceptance of this system, we do not believe that a duplication of the information to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is necessary.
However, the basic. design objectives of the notification system are to achieve the criteria for acceptance listed in Appendix III of NUREG 0645 Rev.1.
Your letter also req"ested a description of problems hindering installation of the Prompt Notification Systen.
Niagara Mohawk has experienced difficulties with manufacturers delitering the necessary equipment for installation of the ou.tdoor siren system and the tc::e alert radio system.
Specifically, _long delivery times have been encountered for the outdoor siren system radio activation equipment as a result of a backlog of orders at the manufacturer. Additionally, delivery of the tone alert radios is not expected until l0ctober, 1981.. An extended delivery time of these units has resulted j
from depletion of the manufacturers' parts inventory.
