Dear Mr. Keppler:
In response to inquiries from your staff (Mr. W._Axelson, et. al.) relative to the Commonwealth Edison policy for emergency manpower augmentation, the enclosed statement is provided.
Commonwealth Edison will develop an administrative policy to implement the criterion stated in NUREG-0654 Section II.B.5 that "the licensee must be able to augment on-shift capabilities within a snort period af ter declaration o f an emergency".
Commonwealth Edison accepts and shall pursue as a goal a 30 and 60 minute augmentation objective.
These fixed time periods have been acknowledged by the NRC Executive Director of Operations (E00-W.
J.
Dircks) to be goals and not rigid guidelines subject to enforcement.
Our policy will be to adhere to the position taken in Reference (1) by the EDO as evidenced by the attached policy
~
statement.
We will keep you advised o f our progress in implementing and assessing the adequacy of this policy.
If you have any further questions, please direct them to this o f fice.
Very truly yours,
{

Emergency Augmentation Policy i
c NUREG 0654 Criterion II.B.5 ' states that "the licensee must be able to augment on-shif t capabilities.within a short period af ter declaration o f an emergency."
It 'further defines that short period as 30 and 60 minutes.
CECO-. considers these timeframes ' to be our goal for augmentation.
However, CECO. can no t. commit to rigid, inviolate times due to the diversity of -residential patterns' for the stations' staffs, possible adverse-weather conditions, and possible road congestion.
We. believe this position is. consistent with that l
o f, the NRC.
i L
To facilitate meeting this commitment, CECA. will establish a 24-Hour duty-call individual who wo,uld be notified first af ter a l
station emergency. -This individualJwould initiate a pIloritized notification (call-list) procedure.
This procedure will identify individuals who are capable of f ulfilling the specific' response functions which areLlisted in GSEP Figure 4.2-3, Guidance for Augmentation of the-Onsite Emergency Organization within 60 minutes. ' GSEP-Figure 4.2-31was developed based on the functions listed in Table-B-1 o f NUREG '0654.
- The call-list procedures are
~
prioritized by least travel time of station staff.
I In' addition' each station will-initiate unannounced offshift notification drills at least_every six months.
These.
drills will involve implementation of the individual station's call-tree' procedure 'and documentation'of the times at which persons are
-notified.
This drill will serve to demonstrate the capability-to augment the onshif.t staf f in a short period afeter rdeclaration of an i
emergency.
t For activation o f the EOF, CCCo. is developing a prioritized Recovery Manager. notification list.
This call list will i
enable the responsible corporate Duty 0ffice. to notify the Recovery Manager who would require the least travel time to a particular i-EOF. - Consistent with our onsite augmentation goal, we will activate
- the EOF as promptly as possible when necessary.
