SUBJECT:
EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACILITIES
- Qg,,
^
ce hh On December 3,1981, the CRGR met to review HRC's activities in broad area of Emergency Response Facilities, Equipment and Control-Design Review. The Comittee found that there was no consensus among the principal staff concerning the precise requirements for the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS), the Technical Support Center (TSC) and the Emergency Operations Facility (E0F). There was evidence that the existing NUREG documents purporting to represent requirements for the facilities had not been carefully coordinated, and there was evidence that the proposed SPDS installation schedules had not been integrated with the Control Room Design Reviews on a schedule that is realistically achievable at operating plants. Correspondence and discussions with industry representatives prior to the meeting-revealed that,.in the face of this confused picture in NRC, work in many of these areas has virtually stopped at some plants awaiting clearer NRC guidance on the precise
~
requirements.
The Comittee decided that imediate action is needed to clarify the requirements and ensure coordination among the various activities.
The DEDROGR staff has been tasked to take the lead, working with NRR, IE and RES representatives; to identify and integrate the basic requirements for the SPDS, TSC, EOF, and the related requirements for the Control Room reviews, revisions to the Emergency Operating Procedures and requirements from Reg. Guides 1.97 and 1.23, and to report these basic requirements to the CRGR at its next meeting on December 10, 1981. The Comittee intends to review the requirements and develop recomendations for further EDO action. In the meantime, the Comittee recommends that you a
advise the Director of RES to withdraw the proposed change to 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, Section IV.E., which is currently circulating in concurrence, and that you advise the Director of NRR to exercise caution in issuing f
staff evaluations or conclusions for operating reactors and ongoing case-q [,O v work reviews until these requirements are clarified.
