%A January 27, 1982 tg, Docket Nos. 50-277 50-278 Mr.
B.
K.
Grimes, Director Division of Emergency Preparedness US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555
Dear Mr. Grimes:
This letter requests an exemption from the February 1,
- 1982, implementation schedule for the emergency public alert system required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.D.3, as amended on December 30, 1981.
Previous correspondence supporting this request consisted of (1) a letter dated December 18, 1981, S.
L.
Daltroff, Philadelphia Electric Company to B. K.
Grimes, NRC, (2) a letter dated July 16, 1981, S.
L.
Daltroff to B.
H.
Grier, NRC, and (3) a letter dated April 28, 1981, S.
L.
Daltroff to H.
R.
Denton, NRC.
As a compensatory measure for our inability to have the emergency public alert system in full automatic operation by February 1, 1982, we propose to establish manual operation of the sirens within the five mile radius by February 1, 1982, and to have the entire system within the ten mile radius fully automated by February 22, 1982.
This compensatory measure will be in addition to that presently planned with the counties as described in my letter to B.
K.
Grimes of December 18, 1981.
l Local manual control would consist of telephone notification by the counties to Philadelphia Electric Company, who in turn, would contact supervisory personnel on duty 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day to initiate a notification and siren operation procedure.
Company employees in the area of the sirens have been designated and will be instructed in procedures for manually operating the sirens.
Each employee would have predesignated sirens, with a maximum of eight assigned to any one employee, which they would have O
R i
t
o Mr. B.
K. Grimes Page 2 responsibility to operate.
When notified, the employee would travel by automobile to the designated sirens and operate them, reporting back to the general headquarters on the status of the assigned work.
It is estimated that the sirens could be actuated within 45. minutes of the initial notification by this method.
This method would only be required for those sirens for which the remote control cabinet and radio controlled receiver had not been installed.
The prompt notification telephone system installation is in progress and is expected to be completed and in service by February 1, 1982.
The remote radio control capability is scheduled fnr completion by February 8, 1982.
This would enable remote operation by the counties of those sirens whose control cabinet and radio control system has been installed.
These compensatory measures, and the recognition of the fact that an increasing number of sirens will be automated during the period of requested exemption, provides adequate capability for prompt public notification.
If you need additional information or have any questions, we would be pleased to meet with you at your convenience.
Very truly yours, i
