20555 SER Issue Number 57, Item II.B.3 Post Accident Sampling - Provision for Offsite Laboratory Analysis of an Undiluted Reactor Coolant Grab Sample Shoreham Nuclear Power Station - Unit 1 Docket No. 50-322 Reference 1 LILCO letter, SNRC-605 (B.R. McCaffrey) to the NRC (H.R. Denton), dated July 23, 1981 Reference 2 DOE letter (D. Schweller) to LILCO (W.F. Renz),
dated May 5, 1982, " Radiological Assistance" (enclosed)
Dear Mr. Denton:
The Shoreham Nuclear Power Station Post Accident Sampling Facility (PASF) is designed to provide analyses of reactor coolant and con-tainment air samples to determine the condition of the core should there be an accident where fuel damage is suspected.
In the high-ly unlikely occurrence that an accident occurs in conjunction with certain post accident sampling system equipment unavailability, every effort would be made to restore the operation of that equip-ment prior to shipping a highly active sample offsite.
Additionally, LILCO has committed to comply with NUREG 0737, section II.B.3, which requires that provision be made for offsite laboratory analyses to further assure sampling capability in the unlikely event certain onsite Post Accident Sampling System (PASS) equipment is not avail-able.

4 January 12, 1983 Mr. Denton Page 2 LILCO has been negotiating with offsite laboratories (Reference 1) to provide post accident analyses of undiluted grab samples of reactor coolant.
The private and national laboratories in the vicinity of the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station do not have the capability to analyze an undiluted sample due to the inherent high source terms.
The Department of Energy (DOE) has been contacted for assistance.
The DOE (Brookhaven Area Office) will provide assistance in a radiological emergency (Reference 2 enclosed).
This assistance includes:
Transportation of the sample in an approved shipping container (LILCO supplied) from the Shoreham PASF to a DOE assigned National Laboratory with the capability to perform the required analysis.
Analysis of the sample for all parameters specified by Regulatory Guide 1.97.
~
Procedures to support the offsite analysis will be written to address the drawing of the undiluted grab sample, loading of the sample flask into the required shielding casks and the transfer onto a DOE assigned transport vehicle.
These procedures will be available for onsite review prior to reaching 5% power.
LILCO believes this response should be sufficient to satisfy the SER requirements on back-up offsite laboratory analysis capability.
Very truly yours, W
U J.

Dear Mr. Kenz:
SUBJECT:
RAD 10LCCICAL ASSISTANCE Since you are located in our Region, the Brookhaven Area Office is charged with the responsibility for providing radiological assistance in the
)
event of an cmergency.
Such assistance can be requested at all times by calling 516-282-2200 and asking for radiological assistance, indicating the
/.
T.
r.ature of the incident, the location, and how to contact authorities to coordinate our response.
i The Department of Energy (DGE) will respond to requcsts for radiolcgical assistance from licensees, Federal, State, and local agencies, private org.2ni-nations, or individuals involved in or cognizant. of an incident believed to involve source, by-product, or special nuclear materials as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of l';54, as amended, or other ionizi:1g radiation sources.
Unless the DOC or a DOE cont ractor is responsible for the activitf, l
ionizing radiatien source, or radioactive material involved in an incident, l
DOE..r.adiolog ical assistance wil) 1c limited to advice and craergency action i
essen_tial for. the cor. trol of.t.hy.mnediate ha:',ards to health and safety.
Judiological cmcrgency assistance will be terminated as soon as the encracncy situation is under control. Therefore, responsibilit*, for post-incident recovery, including further action for the protection of individuals and the public health and safety, should be assuned by the appropriate responrible Federal, State or local government, or private authority as scon as the emergency conditions are stabilized.
If you have any further questions or desire further information, feel free to contact me.
