Subject:
Response to Open Items (SRP Sections 12.3.4 and 12.5.2; Radiological Assessment Branch)
Dear Sir:
As a result of recent meetings with the NRC staff [ Reference (b)), we are revising the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) as delineated on the attached annotated FSAR pages.
Note that the attached annotated FSAR pages supercede those that were submitted in Reference (c).
The attached responses will be included in Amendment 48 to the OL Application.
Very truly yours, YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY

JAN 0 7 1983 CAMS for laboratory analysis (as described in Subsection 12.5.2.1).
The normal locations for the, CAMS are as follows:
o 1 per Control Room 1 per Primary Auxiliary Building o
1 per Fuel Storage Building o
1 per Containment (on the operating floor during refueling o
outages)
CAMS may be moved to other station locations as radiological conditions dictate.

Calibration and Maintenance Refer to Subsection 11.5.2.6 for calibration and maintenance details.
12.3.4.3 Post Accident Inplant Iodine Assessment The capability exists for the determination of airborne radiciodine levels in plant under accident conditions. This capability includes the u ai ete t'

To assist the department technicians there may be assistant health physics technicians. Rese assistant health physics technicians would have as a minimum a high school degree. Their duties would include assisting the technicians in the performance of surveys, sampling, radiation protection, and maintaining department equipment. The assistant technic!ans would participate in an on-the-job training program, and when an individual has three years experience, or otherwise meets the technician qualification requirements, he would be eligible for the technician position.
Section 13.2 contains information on training that will be given to the Health Physics department.
In addition to the formal training provided by the training department, the Health Physicists and Department Supervisor will provide additional specialized instruction to their department technicians.
12.5.2 Equipment, Instrumentation and Facilities h e selection criteria for equipment and instrumentation presented can be met by several manufacturers. Equipment is purchased from manufacturers that can supply suitable equipment and instrumentation, provide repair services when required, and provide replacement parts without undue delay.
Facility design and equipment are selected to facilitate man-rem reduction.
The facilities are designed with adequate working spaces and for ease of access from working locations. Decontamination facilities are located at each fuel F.
storage building and waste processing building, and another facility is located
('
in the service building adjacent to the radiation control area machine shop.
12.5.2.1 Counting Room Equipment h e instrumentation in the counting rooms is used for determining airborne radionuclide concentrations, removable contamination, and radionuclide con-I centrations in liquid samples.
There are two ounting room that house the fixed radia ion detection equipment.

i SB 1 & 2 FSAR New Paragraph for Section 12.5.2.1 There are two counting rooms that house laboratory radiation detec-tion equipment. Health Physics has a counting room that is equipped with alpha, beta, and gamma detection equipment to analyze rootine air samples and contamination survey smears. The Health Physics counting equipment is supplemented by a Chemistry counting room when additional analysis capabilities are required. The gamma detection equipment includes germanium detectors coupled to multichannel analyzers.
This gamma detection capability is available in both the Chemistry and Health Physics counting rooms. Additional gamma radioiodine analysis equipment is located in the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), remote from these counting rooms, a
