SUBJECT:
SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT: ' APPLICATION DATED OCTOBER 1,1993,-
EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION l
Backaround i
By application dated August 13, 1992, B&W Fuel Company (BWFC) requested 'an.
amendment to License SNM-1168 to incorporate its new emergency plan.
The new 1
emergency plan was developed.in accordance with. the requirements of.10 CFR l
70.22(i) and the general guidance provided. in Regulatory Guide 3.67, " Standard
.i Format and Content for Emergency Plans for Fuel Cycle and Material Facilities." By letter dated April 9,1993,. the staff requested' additional j
information.
In response to the request, BWFC provided a' revised Emergency Plan dated August 6,1993 (submitted by. letter dated October 1,1993).
I Discussien j
Section 70.22(i) requires licensees to have an emergency plan for responding to the radiological hazards of an accidental release of special nuclear-material and any associated chemical hazards. 'Specifically, the regulations require:
(1) a facility description, (2) a. list of possible types of-t accidents, (3) classification of possible accidents, (4) methods used to detect accidents, (5) procedures for the mitigation of accidents, (6) procedures for assessments of release of material, (7) a description of; plant personnel responsibilities, (8) notification and coordination procedures, (9) training criteria, (10) internal and external communication procedures, (11) safe shutdown procedures, (12) provisions for exercises, and (13) a list of hazardous chemicals onsite.
Regulatory. Guide 3.67 provides general guidance for the above requirements and a standard format for submitting an emergency plan.
While BWFC's current emergency plan meets the intent of 10 CFR 70.22(i), a-new plan was developed to conform to Regulatory Guide 3.67.
In addition, the new plan has been expanded to (1) include the type, form, and-typical quantities of licensed material, (2) describe the chemical usage, (3) describe'the ventilation system, and (4) update the list of postulated-accidents.
The staff has reviewed the emergency plan against the requirements of 10 CFR 70.22(i) and the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 3.67 and-finds that the-plan satisfies those requirements and recommendations and is, thus, acceptable.
