Docket Nos. 50-277 50-278 Mr. S. Ramos Division of Emergency Preparedness U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 SU BJECT : Comments on Draft Nureg-0814, Methodology for Evaluation of Emergency Response Facilities
Dear Mr. Ramos:
This letter transmits our comments on the referenced document. The draft establishes criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of licensee's emergency response facilities. Some of the criteria infer new requirements not previously presented in Nureg-0654 and Nureg-0696. Of particular concern to us is the new staffing criteria for the TSC and EOF (figures 2.1 and 5.2).
In general, a significant portion of the criteria pertains to routine activities. An example of this is the criteria addressing " work stations" within the TSC/ EOF, arrangement of I equipment, and the flow of information between personnel within these areas (sections 2.3.1 a, b, c, d and 5.4.1 a, b, c).
Another concern deals with the enormous manpower j
resources required to answer all the questions and standards in the draft document. An example of this is the requirement to validate by an error analysis the allocation of tasks to all personnel assigned to the TSC and EOF. Approval of Nureg 0814 in its present form would divert licensing and engineering personnel from more essential tasks associated with the development of effective emergency plans and facilities. p37

Mr. S. Ramos Page 2 Attached for your consideration are markup pages of the draft. Specific concerns are addressed below.
- 1. Section 2.2.1.b: Requires 2 minutes walking distance between control room and TSC RESPONSE: This criteria was developed more than a year after the order to construct a TSC. Backfitting to the new criteria would be an exorbitant expense to many utilities.
Suggest that this standard apply only to construction licensees.
- 2. Section 2.2.1 and 5.2.1.b: Requires the maximum exposure a person will receive when the EOF is accessed, or while walking from the control room to the TSC during a design basis accident to be limited to 5 rem.
RESPONSE: The criteria should permit the use of personnel vehicles in traveling between the control room and TSC.
Additionally, exposure levels up to the limits of 10CFR20 should be permitted; i.e., 12 rem per year or exposure bank allowance.
- 3. Section 2.3.1.a, 5.4.la, 5.4.2.: Requires 75 sq. ft/ person in TSC and EOF. Additionally, working space is required for 4
35 persons, including 9 NRC personnel, in the EOF, and 25 persons, including 5 NRC personnel, in the TSC.
RESPONSE: The number of total personnel, and the number of t NRC personnel appears to be excessive. T'any of the personnel reporting to and communicating with the TSC/ EOF will be performing duties in the field, or situated in other facilities such as the corporate headquarters. It is not
- expected that all personnel involved in the emergency will be l physically working in the TSC/ EOF at the same time. The l space requirement of 75 sq. ft/ person also appears to be excessive and would place a burden on utilities that have
Mr. S. Ramos Page 3 constructed the emergency facilities in accordance with the mandated schedule.
- 4. Section 2.3.1 a, b, c, d; 5.4.1 a, b, c. Requires:
a) TSC/ EOF to be divided into work stations.
b) Provide operational sequence diagrams that describes the interaction among TSC/ EOF personnel, work stations and items of equipment.
c) Describe organization of the work stations.
d) Describe how work spaces are designated to control traffic and noise.
RESPONSE: These standards are unnecessarily detailed.
Establishing formal suborganizations related to a particular space within the TSC/ EOF restricts the flexibility needed by an organization to respond to the many unknown variables characteristic of an emergency. Respor. ding to these standards and questions would be an unnecessary paper burden.
Rather than consider physical work stations, the evaluation should focus on the overall facility organization, responsibilities of each position, and the lines of communication between each position. The effectiveness of the organization can be determined by review of licensees emergency plan submittals and drills.
- 5. Section 2.6.2 and 5.3.2 requires allocation of tasks to personnel should be validated by an analysis of error likely situations, especially those situations that might exceed the human operator's capability in the areas of perception, memory, information integration and manipulation of controls.
RESPONSE: Suggest these sections be deleted. There is no practical means of performing these validations. The most
Mr. S. Ramos Page 4 l
t effective means of assessing the performance of the emergency organization is by an emergency drill critique.
, 6. Section 3.3.3 and 3.3.4. Requires the control room ~ staff to verify during an emergency that the TSC communication links are functional, and-verify that information going to-the emergency response facilities is correct.
l RESPONSE: Control room personnel' definitely should not be involved with these tasks. Control room personnel should be involved with the operation of plant systems.to mitigate and control the extent of the emergency, and to notify selected sapport organizations. Their-involvement with the logistics of the emergency facility activities defeats the purpose of such facilities, and would seriously jeopardize nuclear safety. We would suggest that the TSC staff perform this verification function.
- 7. Section 2.4.1 and 5.2.2. Requires the TSC/ EOF structure to be able to withstand the 100 year flood and windstorm.
-RESPONSE: These standards ' followed the order to install a TSC and EOF by more than a year. Suggest that this standard apply to only future construction applicants.
- 8. Section 2.6.1.b and 5.3.1.c. Requires the licensee to specify the skills,' experience and training of persons needed to accomplish tasks in the TSC/ EOF.
RESPONSE: Identifying these characteristics for nuclear plant personnel on'a task by task basis represents an unnecessary administrative burden. A more logical approach would be to identify these characteristics for essential plant personnel considering all their responsibilities, both routine and emergency response tasks.
Mr. S. Ramos Page 5
- 9. Section 2.3.1.f and 5.4.1.g. Requires:
as Separate office space to accommodate at least fiss NRC personnel (250-375 sq. ft.) in the EOF.
b) Three of the five NRC work stations in the TSC shall provide sufficient privacy for meetings and telephone conversations. The minimum size of this rocm is 200 sq.
ft.
RESPONSE: Existing TSC/ EOF facilities may not be able to accommodate the proposed size of private NRC offices. We would suggest a more flexible sizing criteria of 100 sq. ft.
minimum for the ??RC offices.
- 10. Organization figures 2.1 and 5.2 specifies:
a) 20-23 personnel, and 18 positions in the TSC organization b) 21 personnel and 19 positions in the EOF organization
RESPONSE
a) 7-9 health physics and chemistry personnel are proposed for the TSC. Unlike the EOF, the TSC is not primarily involved with dose assessment and other health physics activities. Many of these positions should be deleted from the proposed organization.
b) The number of personnel and positions proposed for both organizations is excessive. There is not enough personnel to staff the TSC/ EOF around the clock in 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> shifts when considering the control room and offsite support requirements.
c) The organization identifies many positions by academic discipline; i.e., mechanical, electrical, hydraulic engineer. This does not reflect the accepted practice
Mr. S. Ramos Page 6
/
for staffing nuclear facilities. Nuclear plants are staffed by personnel with diverse engineerint and technical backgrounds, and are assigned responsibil;ities related to the major areas of activity; i.e., 7 operations, maintenance, health physics, chemistry,' ,
technical engineering support, etc. Fewer position,s, ,
with more personnel in a general staff category, would be more appropriate for the emergency facilities. The-
~
positions should be patterned after the normal plante organization and recognize the essential t, asks to be '
performed.
d) The proposed organizations do not acknowledge the pre- ~
arranged support from outside consultants; i.e.,
Radiation Management Corporation, General Electric Company, INPO, etc.
Should you have any questions regarding our comments, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Very truly yours, e'

The questions in this report, presented in draft form for puolic comment and interim use, will i be used in final form by the staff to review the Emergency Response Facilities conceptual designs wnich are presently being suomittec oy nucl ea r ~ power ' readtcr ' ode ra to rs. , , ,,
This document is issued for concent, and to provide affscted licensees an early insignt into 'the approach the staff will use in reviewing Emer-gency Response Facility proposals. Comments consisting of markup pages will be most usaful in revising the document.
Neither this draft nor the final evaluation methodology imposes any new requi rements. This approach is a tool for use by the staff in evaluating proposed in existing facilities. The questions'have been drawn in large part frca NUREG-0696, " Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities",
I (February 1981) and the requirements of'10 'CFR'50.33, 50.47, 50.54 and Appendix E of Part 50. Many of the items in NUREG-0814 are not covered explicitly either by the criteria of HUREG-0696 or by the regulations but are set out as a means of reviewing the functions neeced to meet the criteria and the regulations. The NUREG-0814 questions. represent only cne approach to meeting the regulations and other techniques are equally acceptable but are not included for the sake of brevity. The purpose of NUREG-0814 questions are to remind the reviewers that similar functions must be performed by ERF personnel and equipment. ,

- 2. TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTER 2.1 Integration with Overall Planning
- 1. The design of the Technical Support Center j (TSC) addresses the following goals:
5
- a. Provides plant management and technical support to plant operations I personnel during emergency conditions; e -
- b. Relieves the reactor operators of peripheral duties and cc=nunications not directly related to reactor system manipulations;
- c. Prevents congestion in the control
- room; and
-^2 cy !::: d f;r thc Site Area for the Alert Emergency Emergency class and General Emergency Class. -
class until the EOF is functional.
- 2. The TSC shall be the emergency operations work area for designated technical, engineering, and senior licensee plant management personnel; any other licensee-designated personnel required to provide the needed technical support; and a small staff of NRC personnel.
- 3. The TSC shall have facilities to support the plant management and technical personnel who will be assigned there during an emergency and will be the primary onsite connunications center for the plant during the emergency. TSC personnel shall use the TSC data systea to analyze the plant steady-state and dynamic behavior prior to and throughout the course of an accident. The results of this analysis will be used to provide guidance to the controF room operating personnel in the management of abnormal conditions and in accident mitigation. TSC personnel will also use the environmental and Page 2-1

CCKMENT radiological information available from the TSC data system to perform the necessary functions of the EOF when this
-facility is not operable.
- 4. Since the specific allocation of functions assigned to emergency facilities will differ from design to design, the proposal should clearly state which functions (Operations, Radiological Assessment, etc.) are assigned to the TSC.

- i facility or a functionally integrated, l physically distributed facility will be proposed for most sites. However, i NUREG-0696 does not require that utilities l provide specific, dedicated DAS facilities, only that they perform
, specific data acquisition functions. Some i sites may propose to perform DAS functions .
< by sharing other facilities such as the plant process control computer. In either case, any facilities used for the acquisition of any and all data relating to safety parameters and ERF's should address the following areas.
.h
equipnent roon layout and operator -
