Dear Mr Denton:

4 G) C* In the Matter of the ) Docket Nos. 50-259 Tennessee Valley Authority ) 50-260 50-296 The requirecent that TVA maintain a formal offsite fire department aid agreement has been deleted from the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant Radiological Emergency Plan since the procurement of a fire department pumper at Browns Ferry. Justification for deleting this requirement is provided as an enclosure to this letter. It is our contention that a dedicated, fully equipped fire department pumper onsite is equal or cuperior to having an aid agreement with an offsite agency to supply such assistance. This matter has previously been discussed with OIE Region II. Very truly yours, TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY b 'Yk Lv '.' Mills, Mdnager Nuclear Regulation and Safety Subscribeg sworn to fore me thist"J U ay of U1981.

ENCLOSURE JUSTIFICATION FOR DELETION OF OFFSITE FIRE DEPARTMENT AID AGREEMENTS BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT To support our position that maintaining a dedicated onsite. fire department pumper is equal or superior to having an aid agreement with an offsite agency, we offer the following points. A. Speed of Response A site-based apparatus will be available immediately. Offsite apparatus will require from 10-25 minutes to arrive at the plant boundary. The response time will vary depending upon the municipality from which aid is supplied. Response time is the.most critical factor in such a situation. A delayed response cannot be ' compensated for by manning, training, etc. Under our proposed operating concept, the apparatus will be stationed inside the plant boundary and will be available for an immediate response. B. Availability A site-based apparatuo has the advantage of guaranteed availability. .The plant will have sole control over the apparatus and its use. Offsite apparatus is subject to a loss of availability due to its participation in an ongoing offsite emergency or to maintenance or training activities that could delay or eliminate it from a response. Agreements are subject to periodic renegotiation, and during such periods the apparatus may not be available. C. Manning When aid is supplied from a small municipal department composed of paid and/or volunteer firemen, it is difficult to ensure a uniform level of manning or training. An offsite agreement provides for an apparatus response without any stipulation as to manning. This response may consist of only a driver and a junior grade officer. At this minimum level, the fire' brigade is being supplied with no more than a source of water. With the onsite approach, both Levels I-(primary) and II (support) personnel will be available to man the apparatus. The number of Levels I and II personnel available on the average shift is 10-14. Adequate manning is thus available to support the apparatus and the five-man fire brigade. All fire bri6ade members have received appropriate training and are very familiar with the plant and with plant operations and procedures. Their frequent participation in drills and in alarm responses will ensure that their performance will oe equal if not superior to that of an offsite firefighter who has received only the minimum training and may not be fully familiar with the plant operations. Based upon1the above discussion of a dedicated onsite apparatus, we propose to meet the requirement to provide an aid agreement by providing instead a dedicated onsite' fire department pumper. This pumper shall be fully equipped (see attachment)'and shall be manned by the Levels I and II fire brigade members as required.
