Box 1475 Baltimore, Maryland 21203 Gentlemen: Subject: Emergency Preparedness Appraisal Combined Inspection Report Nos. 50-317/81-19 cnd 50-318/81-18 To verify that licensees have attained an adequate state of on-site emergency preparedness, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is conducting a special appraisal at each power reactor site. These appraisals are being performed in lieu of certain routine inspections normally conducted in the area of emergency prepared- ness. The objectives of the appraisal at each facility are to evaluate the overall adequacy and effectiveness of emergency preparedness and to identify areas of weakness that need to be strengthened. We use the findings from these appraisals as a basis not only for requesting individual licensee action to correct deficiencies and ef fect improvements, but 'also for effecting improve- ments in NRC requirements and guidance. During the period of October 5-16, 1981, the NRC conducted an appraisal of the emergency preparedness program for the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. Areas examined during this appraisal are described in the enclosed combined report (50-317/81-19 and 50-318/81-18). Within these areas, the appraisal team reviewed selected procedures and representative records, inspected emergency facilities and equipment, observed work practices, and interviewed personnel. The findings of the emergency preparedness appraisal at the Calvert Cliffs ) Nuclear Power Plant indicate that certain corrective actions are required in your emergency preparedness program. These are discussed in Appendix A, "Significant Emergency Preparedness Findings". Significant findings for which you have made acceptable commitments to resolve, were discussed in the Confirmatory Action Letter dated November 6, 1981 and the subsequent clarification letter dated November 19, 1981. Copies of the letters, dated November 6, 1981 and November 19, 1981, are anclosed for your convenience as attachments to this letter. It is our understanding based upon your letter of November 16, 1981 that corrective actions on these items have been completed. ! Other areas needing improvement are discussed in Appendix B, " Emergency Pre- paredness Improvement Items". OFFICIAL RECORD COPY , 8206100234 820526 3 PDR ADOCK 05000317 h G PDR _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ >

Baltimore Gas and Electric Company 2 gy 2 61992 In conjunction with the aforementioned appraisal, emergency plans for your facility were reviewed by the Emergency Preparedness Licensing Branch, Division of Emergency Preparedness, Office of Inspection and Enforcement. The results of this review indicate that certain deficiencies exist in your emergency plan. These are discussed in Appendix C, " Emergency Plan Evaluation Report". Appendices A, 8, and C of this letter contain an inclusive listing of all outstanding emergency preparedness items at your facility at this time. We recognize that an explicit regulatory requirement pertaining to each item identified in Appendices A, B and C may not currently exist. Notwithstanding this, you are requested to submit a written statement within thirty (30) days of the date of this letter, describing your planned actions for improving each of the items identified in Appendix A and the results of your consideration of each of the items in Appendix 8. This description shall include: (1) actions which have been taken; (2) actions which will be taken; and (3) a schedule for completion of actions for each item. This request is made pursuant to Section 50.54(f) of Part 50, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations. You are further requested to provide to this office, within 120 days of the date of this letter, page changes to your Emergency Plan correcting each deficiency iden- tified in Appendix C or provide written justification as to why you believe a revision should not be made.

APPENDIX C EMERGENCY PLAN EVALUATION REPORT ON CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT BALTIMORE GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY EMERGENCY PLAN DATED AUGUST 1, 1981 EVALUATION SUMMARY The Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Response Plan, Revision 1, dated August 1, 1981, was evaluated using the sixteen Planning Standards and the 96 suppurting criteria in NUREG-0654, Revision 1. The evaluation shows that, of the sixteen standards, three were satisfied, and twelve were satisfied except as noted and one was not satisfied. The rating of unsatisfactory was given to Planning Standard D, Emergency Classification System. The Planning Standard rated as unsatisfactory was so rated because the Emergency Plan failed to address the substantive points expressed in the Standard and in the evaluation criteria. The Planning Standards rated as satisfactory except as noted were so rated because the Emergency P:an failed to address, provided insufficient information about, or was unclear regarding some of the pertinent points enunciated in the Planning Standards' evaluation criteria. Comments were made on each of the deficiencies noted. In the pages that follow, findings on each Standard and its evaluation criteria are presented. A synopsis of criteria that are properly addressed is given, an evaluation of the degree of satisfaction provided by the plan is made and a set of comments noting deficiencies within criteria is provided. , C-1

,l Appendix C FINDINGS ON STANDARDS & CRITERIA CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT A. ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY (ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROL) Planning Standard . I Primary responsibilities for emergency response by the nuclear facility licensee, and by State and local organizations within the Emergency Planning , Zones have been assigned, the emergency responsibilities of the various ,, supporting organizations have been specifically established, and each principal \\< response organization has staff to respond and to augment its initial response on a continuous basis. SKEEosis The Federal, State, local and private sector organizations that are intended to be part of the overall response organization of Emergency Planning Zones are identified. , The licensee's concept of operations and its relationship to the total effort is specified. The interrelationships among emergency organizations are illustrated in a . block diagram (Figure 3.5-1). The Site Emergency Coordinator (Shift Supervisor until relieved by . another SEC qualified individual) is identified as the individual who shall be in charge of the emergency response. 24-hour per day emergency respose, including 24-hour per day manning of . communications links is provided for. Written agreements referring to the concept of operations developed between Federal, State and local agencies and other stpport agencies having an emergency response role within EPZs are included, although certain portions of Appendix D were deleted from Revision 1 which were included in Revision 0 of the plan. These should be replaced and all letters of agreement should be as specific as possible and current. The Administrative Support Manager is the individual who will be . responsible for assuring continuity of resources. Evaluation: The plan satisfies Planning Standard A except as noted below. The authorities of all persons assigned to the licensee's emergency response organization are not defined in the plan. C-2 >

Appendix C Maintenance person, one on-shift Electrical Maintenance person and one Instrument and Control Technician additien should be provided; and (d) In Radiation Protection, two on-shift HP Technicians should be indicated. The plan provides no statement of the licensee's intention to meet the required staffing levels by July 1, 1982. " _ Criterion 6: No block diagram includes the TSC, OSC and EOF. Appendix J-2 indicates that an EOF will be constructed by some unspecified future date. C. EMERGENCY RESPONSE SUPPORT AND RESOURCES Planning Standard Arrangements for requesting and effectively using assistance resources have been made, arrangements to accommodate State and local staff at the licensee's near-site Emergency Operations Facility have been made, and other organizations capable of augmenting the planned response have been identified. Synposis Federal assistance can be requested by the Recovery Manager, the Site Emergency Coordinator and/or the State. The Federal resources expected are specified. . The licensee will dispatch representatives to the principal off-site EOCs. Radiological laboratories at BG&E's Baltimore headquarters are identified as well as those in a mobile van operated by the licensee. Organizations that can be relied upon in an emergency to provide . assistance are ident* fled; letters of agreement are appended to the plan. Evaluation: The plan satisfies Planning Standard C except as noted below. Criterion 1b: No times of arrival or specific sites are specified for the expected Federal resources. Criterion Ic: No licensee resources available to support the Federal response are specified. C-4 - -

Appendix C D. EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM Planning Standard A standard emergency classification and action level scheme, the bases of which include facility system and effluent parameters, is in use by the nuclear facility licensee, and State and local response plans call for reliance on information provided by facility licensees for determination of minimum initial offsite response measures. Synopsis: An emergency classification and emergency action level scheme partially compatible to the scheme set forth in Appendix 1, NUREG-0554 has been established. The initiating conditions listed in the plan include some of the example . initiating conditions listed in Appendix 1, flVREG-0654 as well as all the postulated accidents in the FSAR. Evaluation: The Plan fails to satisfy Planning Standard D for the following reason. (A specific evaluation of the licensee's EALs appears as Annex B to the Emergency Preparedness combined Appraisal Report No. 317/81-19 and 318/81-18). Criterion 1 Notification of Unusual Event Initiating Conditions: 3 (fuel damage), 4 (abnormal temperatures and/or) pressures), 5 (leakrates), 7 (loss of ac power), 8 (loss of containment integrity), 9 (loss of engineered safety feature). One of the EALs for these initiating conditions has the requirement that the reactor be required to be placed in a lower mode of operation. The requirement for a lower mode of operation is irrevalent to declaration of an Unusual Event and should be dropped. Initiating Condition 1: (ECCS initiation) - The instrumentation for determining ECCS flow should be listed. Initiating Condition 3: (fuel failure) - An EAL for rate of fuel failures should be added. Initiating Condition 4: (abnormal coolant temperature and/or pressure) - EALs for low coolant pressure, high T and high core exit temperature ave should be added. C-5 . - - - _ _

Appendix C Initiating Condition 9: ~(loss of fire protection system function) - An EAL for loss of fire protection system function should be added. Initiating Condition 10: (fire) - The licensee's EAL is nonconservative in that it requires that the fire be ir on area containing safety . elated equipment. Any fire within the plant lasting more than 10 minutes is grounds for calling an Unusual Event. , Alert Initiating Condition 1: (severe loss of fuel cladding) - An EAL for rate of fuel failure should be added. Initiating Condition 3: (rapid failure of steam generator tubes) - The licensee should provide the instrument readings for this event not refer to actuation of an emergency procedure. The suggestions of NUREG-0818 should be considered. Initiating Condition 4: (steam line break with primary to secondary leakage) - The licensee refers to an emergency procedure instead of listing the instrument readings upon which actuation of the emergency procedure is based. The licensee has not addressed the requirement of primary to secondary leakage. The licensee should address this subject using the suggestions in NUREG-0513. Initiating Condition 5: (primary coolant leak rate greater than 50 gpm) - The licensee refers to implementation of an emergency procedure (LOCA) instead of providing the instrument readings which lead to use of that procedure. Moreover, unless the LOCA emergency procedure is indeed implemented at leak rates as low as 50 gpm, its use as a criteria for declaring an Alert may be nonconservative. Initiating Condition 7: (loss of AC power) - The instrument readings should be listed. Initiating Condition 12: (fuel handling incident) - the instrument levels and alarms should be listed. In developing an acceptable EAL set, the licensee should not " require visual observation of damage" as this may not be feasible under accident conditions. Initiating _ Condition 13: (fire) - The requirement for off-site support should be dropped. C-6

Appendix C Site Area Emergency Initiating _ Condition 6: (loss of AC power) - the instrument readings should be listed. Initiating Condition 10: (major damage to spend fuel) - The instrument levels and alarms should be given. Initiating Condition 11: (fire compromising the functions of safety systems) - The requirement that the fire "is not extinguished within 15 minutes after 3 off-site fire fighting personnel commence fire fighting efforts" should be dropped as it is nonconservative and irrelevant to declaring a Site Araa Emergency. Initiating Conditi_on'14: (imminent loss of physical control of the plant) - The licensee's EAL requires that a physical attack on the facility has resulted in damage to safety related equipment. This is nonconservative. All that is required for declaring a Site Area Emergency is imminent occupancy of any of the vital areas defined by the Modified Amended Security Plan. Initiatina Condition 15: (earthquake) - and 15b (high and low water) - The SSE earthquake levels should be specified. The low water levels should be specified. Initiating Condition 1_6c: (toxic and flammable gases) - The licensee's EAL is nonconservative because it requires the concentration to be above toxic or explosive levels before declaring a Site Area Emergency. Any concentration that poses problems in accessing vital areas is sufficient. General Emergency Initiating Condition 2: (loss of 2 out of 3 fission product barriers) - The licensee has taken the conservative approach of requiring 2 out of 3 fission oroduct barriers are breached without requiring imminent failure of the third barrier. This is acceptable. However, the suggestions of NUREG-0818 should be considered. These suggestions include the use of steam generator tube failure as a loss of primary coolant boundary, con- sideration of leaks via broken steam generator tubes and leaking MSIVs, use of radiation readings in containment as evidence of combined failure of the cladding and of the primary coolant boundary and use of high core temperature or inadequate subcooling margin as evidence of cladding failure. Initiating Condition 3: (security) - The EAL set is acceptable as long as " loss of control of the facility" means occupation of the control room, remote shutdown facilities or any other vital areas as defined by the Modified Amended Security Plan. C-7

Appendix C Note: The licensee's definition of an Alert, Site Area Emergency and General Emergency differs from that in NUREG-0654. For example the NUREG-0654 definition of an Alert states in part that " events are in process or have occurred which involves an actual or potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels" (p. 2.1-6). The licensee's version differs significantly frem NUREG-0654. The licensee states that to declare an Alert there must be a " radiological effluent release with a potential of causing in plant projected doses of greater than or equal to 0.1 rem whole body or greater than or equal to 0.5 rem to the thyroid." Though some of the initiating conditions under an Alert might have projected doses of this magnitude associated with them, many do not (such as those relating to security, high winds, loss of off-site AC power, etc.). Therefore, the use of such a blanket statement is incorrect and could contribute to a nonconservative philosophy regarding declaration of an Alert. Similar statements are made for the Site Area Emergency class (p. 2.1-10) and for the General Emergency Class (p. 2.1-13). The text should be rewritten so that a radiation release is not the only reason for declaring an emergency. Criterion 2: The licensee did not orepare EAL sets for the following initiating conditions. Unusual Event - 6, 11, 13, 14b, 14e, 16 and 17. Alert - 2, 6, 8, 9, 10, 14, ISb, 18c and 18e. Site Area Emergency - 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12 and 16n. General Emergency - 5. E. NOTIFICATION METHODS AND PROCEDURES Planning Standard Procedures have been established for notification, by the licensee of State and local response organizations and for notification of emergency personnel by all response organizations; the centent of initial and followup messages to response organizations and the public has been established; and means to provide early notification and clear instruction to the populace within the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone have been established. Sy.npo s i s Procedures are established which describe mutually agreeable bases for . notification of response organizations consistent with the emergency classification and action level scheme. Procedures for alerting, notifying and mobilizing emergency respo1se personnel are established. The contents of the initial emergency messages to be sent frca the plant are established. C-S

Appendix C Follow-up messages from the facility to off-site authorities, containing . appropriate information, are established. Copies of written messages intended for the public, consistent with the . licensee's classification scheme and giving instructions to the public with regard to specific protective actions, are provided (Appendix K). Evaluation: The plan satisfies Planning Standard E except as noted below. Criterion 6: The specific means and time required for notification within the plume exposure EPZ are not given, urther, the licensee's plan provides for 1 hour to notify off site r authorities at the notification of Unusual Event and the Alert stages. This does not meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E(IV)(D)(3). F. EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS Plannin_g Standard Provisions exist for prompt communications among principal response organizations to emergency personnel and to the public. __Snyposis 24-hour notification to and activation of the State / local emergency . response network are provided. Communications with contiguous State / local governments within the EPZs are provided. Communications as needed with Federal emergency response organizations . are provided. The alerting or activating of emergency personnel is provided for. . Communications by the licensee with NRC Headquarters and NRC Regional . Office EOCs are provided. Periodic testings of communications systems are provided. . Evaluation: The plan satisfies Planning Standard F except as noted below: Criterion 1: Organizational titles and alternates for both ends of communication links are omitted. Criterion 2: No provision is made for a coordinated communication link for fixed and mobile support facilities. C-9 t

Appendix C

G. PUBLIC EDUCATION AND INFORMATION Planning Standard Information is made available to the public on a periodic basis on how they will be notified and what their initial actions should be in an emergency (e.g., listening to a local broadcast station and remaining indoors), the principal points of contact with the news media for dissemination of infor- mation during an emergency (including the physical location or locations) are established in advance, and procedures for coordinated dissemination of information to the public are established. Snyposis A coordinated yearly dissemination of information to the public regarding . how they will be notified and what their actions should be in an emergency is provided. Written material that is likely to be available in a residence during an . emergency is provided for and updated annually. The points of contact and physical locations for use by news media during . an emergency (Media Communications Center) are designated. The President and Chief Operating Officer is designated as spokesperson. . Arrangements for timely exchange of information among designated . spokespersons at the Media Communications Center are established. Annual programs to acquaint news media with the emergency plans, . i information concerning radiation and points of contact for release of public information in an emergency are provided. Evaluation: The plan satisfies Planning Standard G except as noted below. Criterion Id: The special needs of the handicapped are not addressed. Criterion 2: No provisions are made for transient population. Criterion 3: The Emergency Operations Facility is not yet constructed. Criterion 4: No explicit arrangements are made for dealing with rumors. H. EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT Planning Standard Adequate emergency facilities and equipment to support the emergency response are provided and maintained. C-10 . _ - .,_ m__ _ -

Appendix C Synposis: A Technical Support Center (TSC) and Operations Support Center (OSC) have . been established. The TSC is adjacent to the Control Room and is within the Seismic I boundary of the Auxiliary Building and is ventilated by the same system provided for the Control Room. The OSC is 1ccated in training classroom 3 of the South Services Building. The TSC will be upgraded as required to meet NUREG-0696 criteria. Two Emergency Control Centers (ECC) have been established. The primary . ECC is located at the South Services Building. The alternate ECC is located near the Farm Demonstration Building at the site boundary west of the plart. Altnough not definitely stated, the plan implies that these facilities will function as the primary an alternate EOF until an EOF facility to be located about 12 miles northwest of the plant is constructed. The new EOF will comply with NUREG-0696 requirements. Provisions have been made for timely activation and staffing of emergency . response facilities. . Geophysical phenomena monitors (i.e., meteorological and seismic), radiological monitors, process monitors, and fire and combustion detectors have been installed and are identified. Provisions have been mde to obtain meteorological and seismic data from . off site sources. Provisions have been made to acquire data from and have access to . off-site radiological monitoring and sampling devices. Provisions have been made to have access to or get information from the . BG&E Electric Test Department Laboratory at company headquarters. Radiological monitoring equipment is in place at locations near the plant for use in off-site monitoring. Appendix J.3 of the plan states that a new meteorological tower ordered . in 1981 will meet the acceptance test criteria of Regulatory Guide 1.23 - and NUREG-0737. Provisions have been made to inventory equipment / instrumentation each . quarter (respiratory protection equipment will be inventored monthly) and checked to verify that calibration and location are in accordance with inventory lists. Emergency kits and their contents are identified by location. C-Il _ _

Appendix C Evaluation: The plan satisfies Planning Standard H except as noted below. Criterion 1: The plan does not contain enough information to determine if the OSC meets (or will be upgraded to meet) NUREG-0696 criteria. Criterion 2: The plan implies, but does not specifically state, that the primary and alternate ECC's will serve as the EOF until the proposed facility is constructed. It is impossible to determine from the plan (Section 5.12 and Figure 5.1.1) if the primary ECC located in the South Service Building is inside or outside the protected area fence. If it is inside (as was verified during inspections) and is used as the EOF it would appear to violate the intent of NUREG-0654 to have an EOF located so that reasonably prompt access is provided to appropriate Federal, State and local personnel. The plan does not indicate if the ECC's meet NUREG-0696 requiremer.ts. The licensee does not state in the plan when new EOF will be completed and ready for operattori Criterion Sa: The plan fails to state if hydrological equipment has been installed at a plant site location (s). Criterion 6a: The plan fails to indicate if arrangements have been made to obtain hydrologic data or information from off-site sourcas. Criterion 6b: The plan does not indicate if dosimetry from radiological monitors will meet as a minimum the NRC Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position for the Environmental Radiological Monitoring Program. Criterion 8: Although the plan in Appendix J-3 indicates a new meteorological tower ordered in 1981 will meet the acceptance criteria for Regulatory Guide 1.23 and NUREG-0737 there is no statement concerning satisfying the criteria in Appendix 2, NUREG-0654. The plan also fails to indicate if current meteorological data meets the intent of Appendix 2, NUREG-0654. No prognosis is given concerning the completion date for the new tower. C-iterion 9: The emergency equipmer.t listed in Table 5.1-2 of the plan is identified as being assigned to the ECC. It is unclear if this same equipment is intended for use by the OSC. If so it appears that the quantity of equipment may be insufficient for use by both facilities. Criterion 10: The plan does not state if sufficient reserves of equipment / instruments exist to promptly replace those removed from service. The plan also does not indicate if calibrations will be done in accordance with manufacturers specifications. Criterion 12: Establishment of a central point for receipt and analysis of all field monitoring data and coordination of sample media is not clearly stated in the plan. C-12

Appendix C I. ACCIDENT ASSESSMENT Planning Standard Adequate methods, systems and equipment for assessing and monitoring actual or potential off-site consequences of a radiological emergency condition are in use. Synposis: Plant systems and effluent parameter values characteristic of a spectrum of off-normal conditions and accidents are identified (see comments under Standard D). parameter values and the correspondence emergency class are included in the facility ERPIP's. The kinds of instruments used and their capabilities are listed in Table 2.2-2. The capability and resources to provide initial values and continuing . assessment during an accident are available including post-accident sampling, radiation and ef fluent monitors, in plant iodine instrumentation and containment monitoring. Methods and techniques have been established for determining the source . term of releases of radioactive material within plant systems and the magnitude of the release based on plant system parameters and effluent monitors. The relationship between effluent monitor readings and on-site and off-site exposures and contamination for various meteorological conditions have been established. The methodology for determining release rate / projected doses if . instrumentation is off-scale or inoperable has been established. The capability and resources required for field monitoring within the . plume exposure EPZ are described. . The methods, equipment and expertise to make rapid assessments of the magnitade of radiological releases is described. Deployment times for field teams is estimated at 15 to 30 minutes from notification. The means for relating various measured parameters to dose rates for key isotopes has been established. Provisions have been made for estimating integrated doses from projected or actual dose and comparing them with protective action guides. Evaluation: The plan satisfies Planning Standard I except as noted below. C-13

' \\ Appendix C , 1 Criterion 5: There is not enough information in the plan to determine if the current meteorological information meets Appendix 2, NUREG-0654 criteria. Discussion of new meteorological installation, Appendix J.3 of the plan, fails to indicate if Appendix 2, NUREG-0654 criteria will be met. The plan also fails to indicate if meteorological data and information originating at the facility will be available to the ECC/ EOF, TSC an offsite NRC Center, and appropriate State agencies. Criteria 9: The plan states in Section 4.2.1.7 that radioiodine can be detected in the field as low as 10 'Ci/m' Criterion 9 requires capability to detect radiciodine in the field as low as 10 'pCi/cc. J. PROTECTIVE RESPONSE Planning Standard A range of protective actions have been developed for the plume exposure pathway EPZ for emergency workers and the public. Guidelines for the choice of protective actions during an emergency, consistent with Federal guidance, are developed and in place, and protective actions for the ingestion exposure pathway EPZ appropriate to the locale have been developed. Synposis: The means and time required to warn or advise on-site individuals and individuals who may be in the controlled area have been established. Provisions have been made for evacuation routes to suitable off-site . locations. Provisions have been made for radiological monitoring of evacuated . on-site personnel at the assembly location (s). Decontamination will be provided at the Farm Demonstration Building. . Provision has been made to account for all on-site personnel within 30 minutes after declaration of an emergency and continuously thereafter. Provisions have been made to supply personnel remaining or coming on-site with protective clothing, respiratory protection, and radioprotective drugs as required. Mechanisms for promptly notifying responsible off-site authorities a id . recommending protective actions have been established. Time estimates for evacuation within the plume exposure EPZ are contained . in Tables 1 and 2 of Appendix F. C-14 -_- .. . -

Appendix C Maps showing evacuation routes, areas, preselected radiological mcnitoring . and sampling points and relocation centers are shown in Figures 4.4.1-2, 4.2-1 and Figure 1, Appendix K - respectively. Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and Table 1, 2 in Appendix F show population distribution . around the plant in evacuation and sector format. The bases for the choice of recommended protective actions from the plume exposure pathway is discussed. Evaluation: The plan satisfies Planning Standard J except as noted below. Criterion Ic: The plan does not specifically address the matter of warning or advising contractor / construction personnel. Section 3.2.1.4 states that ! personnel within the protected area fence and adjacent areas will be notified. It could be concluded that contractor / construction personnel are included. A specilic statement on this point would be helpful. Criterion 2: The plan fails to address provisions made for alternate evacuation routes or for transportation available to evacuated on-site personnel. Criterion 7: Although it appears that the recommended protective actions to State and local authorities meet the requirements of the EPA Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents there is no indication in the plan that this is the case. Criterion 10a: Identification of radiolooical sampling and monitoring points (Figure 4.2-1) does not include designators, or equivalent system, in accordance with Table J-1, NUREG-0654. Criterion 10c: The plan does not clearly discuss the means used to notify all segments of the transient and resident population. Table 3.6-2 implies that initial notification can be by means of radio and TV via a Public Information Coordinator or by means of mobile and fixed public address or alert systems or via the County Sheriffs Department, and other county agencies. Appendix K-1, Figure-1 states that notification will be by emergency vehicle, personal contact or other means. A clear specific statement in the plan concerning the means used to notify the affected population would be useful. Criterion 10m: The plan does not address the expected local protection afforded

by residential or shelter locations. ] C-15 t

Appendix C K. RADIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE CONTROL Planning Standard Means for controlling radiological exposures, in an emergency, are established for emergency workers. The means for controlling radiological exposures shall include exposure guidelines consistent with EPA Emergency Worker and Livesaving Activity Protective Action Guides. Synposis: Exposure guidelines consistent with EPA Emergency Worker and Lifesaving . Activity Protective Action Guides have been established. The on-site radiation protection program for implementation during emergencies has been established. Procedures for permitting on-site volunteers to receive radiation in excess of 10 CFR 20 limits are in place. The Site Emergency Coordinator and the Radiological Protection Director are authorized to approve radiation dose in excess of 10 CFR 20 limits. Provisions have been made for the distribution of dosimeters, reading them at appropriate frequencies and maintaining dose records. Action levels for determining the need for decontamination and criteria . for returning areas and items to normal use have been established. The means for radiological decontamination of personnel, supplies, instruments and equipment, and for waste disposal have been established. On-site contamination measures to control access to contaminated areas are in place. Evaluation: The plan satisfies Planning Standard K except as noted below: Criterion Ic through g: The pian does not specifically address these items. It is not clear if personnel engaged in these activities can be authorized to receive radiation dose in excess of 10 CFR 20 limits. EPIP 4.1.5.3(8) states only that exposure must be maintained in accordance with RCP 3-300 series. This procedure is not available for review. The licensee should consider placing a statement in the plan that clearly covers these items. Criterion 3a: The plan addresses the responsibility of the Radiation Protectior. Director for distribution and processing of dosimeters and maintenance of dose records. The plan fails to indicate if procedures are in place to provide 24 hour per day capability to determine doses received by emergency workers. C-16 . . - - -

Appendix C , Criterion 6b: The plan fails to discuss provisions for contamination control of on-site drinking water and food supplies (i.e. food in canteen dispensers, lunches, etc.) Criterion 7: The plan discusses on-site decontamination but fails to discuss the licensee's capability to decontaminate relocated on-site personnel, supply personnel with clothing if required and provide them with decon- taminating agents including those for removal of radioiodine from the skin. L. MEDICAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH SUPPORT Planning Standard Arrangements are made for medical services for contaminated injured individuals. Synopsis Local and backup hospital and medical services having the appropriate . capabilities are arranged for. On-site first aid capability is provided. . Transporting victims of radiological accidents to medical support facilities . is arranged for. Evaluation: The plan satisfies Planning Standard L. M. RECOVERY AND REENTRY PLANNIN3 AND POST-ACCIDENT OPERATIONS Planning Standard General plans for recovery and reentry are developed. Synopsis General plans and procedures for reentry and recovery are developed, and . the means are described by which decisions to relax protective measures are reached. , > The structure, functions, and memberships of the facility recovery organ- . ization are described. Means are specified for informing members of the response organizations . that a recovery operation is to be initiated. , A method for periedically estimating total population exposure is established. .
