During my review of the Pilgrim II PSAR two problems with the State and local plans were identified.

(1)

The following steps must be completed before protective actions re-commended by the station will be implemented.

a.

Site notifies State Police b.

State Police r.otify Mass DPH duty officer c.

OPH calls site to confirm d.

OPH notifies local police (Through State Police) l e.

l.ocal police notify local Civil Defense official f.

Civil Defense consults with town selectman g.

Selectman authorizies protective ' action implementation This system must be reviewed very carefully _ to insure that protective acti'>Gs cb%

can be implemented promptly (15 minutes) off hours.

Ideally the plcns should be revised to allow the township police to act on the predetermined protective actions recommended by the licensee direccly until the State or local official, have an ooportunity to recommend other actions.

If the system can not be changed it should be tested at night, to demonstrate it works.

(2) The Pilgrim licensee will be required, by NRC, to expand the conditions on which predetermined protective action will be recommended offsite to include specific plant conditions (core, containment. ESF, see en-closed example).

Since the State and local officials will be coquired bokok V

to act on these predetermined recommendations promptly, a system con-sistent as the licensees must be developed for use by the State and local decision makers.

In general,I have found that licensees and PAG solely as the basis State and local officials are still using 3

for protective actions and are not including plant condition as re-o quired.

JUL 2 41981 Docket No. 50-471 Mr. R. M. Bu'tler Nuclear Projects Manager Boston Edison Company

{

800 Boylston Street Boston, Massachusetts 02199

Dear Mr. Butler:

Evacuation time and population estimates for the first year of operation at Pilgrim Station Unit 2 are needed for our continuing review of your emergency plans.

As we informed your staff earlier by telephone, the estimates shculd conform with the guidance in Appendix 4 of NUREG-0654. The basis for the population projection, including tabulations of seasonal residents (peak transients) as well as permanent residents, should be described and should filcorporate 1980 census data and other current data. The population distribution data described in Chapter 2 of the PSAR should be revised to reflect this updated information.

The evacuation time estimates for the first year of plant operation should be based on the road network projected to exist the first year of plant operation if supporting data are presented; otherwise, the current road network should be used.

In addition, provide an estimate of the evacuation times for the high summer tourist population during rain as discussed on page 4.6 of NUREG-0654.

We understand that you will provide updated population data by August 1,1981 l

followed by jour full response on evaluation matters by August 24, 1981. This schedule is acceptable and will enable us to complete our review to meet cur-rent schedule. Questions on the foregoing should be directed to Mr. Dino Scaletti, (301) 492-8443.
