SUMMARY

MiD REOTMENDATIONS W e Lacrosse ERF conceptual design package lacks much of the necessary information to evaluate the adequacy of the energency response facilities. Concerning the TSC, EOF, CSC and Control Boom facilities, the following areas had little or no information:

Integration with overall planning was not addressed for the TSC, EF, CSC, or control rocm.

'Ihe EC does not meet'the minimum size requirements of 75 sq. ft./ person.

Work stations and equignent for the EC are not identified.

The work space for the TSC is not adequate to perform EC functions.

No information was provided concerning the 'ISC's ability to withstand reasonably expected adverse weather conditions.

More detailed information is needed concerning the E C's habitability and radiological monitoring.

Supplies of protective clothing, respiratory equipaent, etc., to be stored in the TSC and ECF are not addressed.

Insufficient information was provide <k to evaluate the E C, CSC and EOF staffing levels.

More informatica concerning cu.unicatiens at the TSC, ECF and CSC are needed.

No information was provided on the control rocm.

The habitability of the CSC was not addressed.

The size of the EC was not addressed.

No information was provided concerning the E0F's ability to witnstand reasonably expected adverse weather conditions.

'Ihe size of the ECF is not addressed nor is the location of work stations and equipaent.

Page 1-1

Lacrosse Radiological monitoring of the EOF is not addressed.

A count roczn located in the EOF is not addressed.

Records availability and managenent for the EDF is not addressed.

For their data aquisition and display systen the licensee proposes to supply an analog signal via a Volumetrics ALtodata Eight Data Acquisition Systen to an ND6600 computer, which will convert the signal to the desired units, store it and transmit it to tne 'ISC where it will be printed on a Digital IAl20 line printer or its equivalent.

We licensee's conceptual design clearly does not meet the requirements of mREG-0696 in the area of data aquisition and display for the following reasons:

The ND6600 is a 12-bit minicomputer which does not have sufficient processing capability to adequately handle the amount of data in the time frame required for the ERF's.

A Digital IA120 serial printer, which is a 180 cps dot matrix printer, is not an adequate device for displaying information at the 'ISC.

We licensee does not indicate any method to display trending of parameters.

h ere is no description of how data will be displayed at the IDF.

No provision is specified to provide data to the NDL.

TEENICAL SUPPORE CDiTER 2.1 Integration with Overall Planning Subject not addressed.

1. She design of the Technical Support Center (TSC) addresses the following goals:

a. Provides plant nanagement and technical supprt t.o plani. operations personnel during emergency Condit1Cns;

b. Relieves the reactor operators of peripheral duties and conraunications not directly related to reactor systen manipulations;

c. Prevents congestion in the control room; and

d. Performs E F functions for the Alert Emergency class and for the Site Area Emergency class and General Emergency class until the E F is functional.

2. The TSC shall be the mergency operations work area for designated tecFaical, engineering, and senior licensee. plant manag ment personnel; any other license H esignated personnel required to provide the needed technical support; and a small staff of NRC personnel.

3. The ISC shall have facilities to suqort the plant ranagsedt and tecraical.

personnel wno will be assigned there during an mergency and will be the primary ensite communications center for the plant-during the mergency. TSC personnel shall use the ISC data systen to analyze the plant steady-state and dynamic behavior prior to and throughout the course of an accident. The results of this analysis will be used to provide guidance to tne control roan operating personnel in the managment of abnormal conditions and in accident mitigation. ISC personnel will also use the environmental and Page 2-1

Lacro:se C34 MENT radiological information available from the TSC data systen to perform the necessary functions of the EF when this facility is not operable.

4. Since the specific allocation of functions assigned to energency ' facilities will

-differ from design to design, the proposal should clearly state which functions (Operations, Radiological Assessment, etc.) are assigned to the TSC.
