Dear Sir:
Subject:
Emergency Preparedness - Augmentation Capabilities Reference (b) requested Vermont Yankee to perform a study to determine how the intent of the augmentation' goals of NUREG 0654, Table B-1, can be achieved.
Subsequent to implementing our backshif t call-in method, as required by Item 8 of Reference (b), notification drills were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of our program.
Results from these tests generally indicate that sufficient staff augmentation can be achieved to meet the criteria specified in NUREG-0654, Table B-1.
The results from our three drills are shown on the attached Table 1.
Vermont Yankee is continuing to investigate other possible methods to facilitate the call-in procedure and result in earlier response times.
Included in this investigation is a review of the assignment /
utilization of radio-activated pagers and a review of the capabilities of a new telephone system which is to be installed in the next 6-12 months.
We trust this information will be satisfactory for your review; however, should you have any questions or need further clarification of our position, please contact us.
Very truly yours, VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER CORPORATION b<3/
