ROSANff Del TUFO-DiIOPM NOTARY PUBUC 0F NEW JERSEY My Commission Expires April 18,1984

Enclosure RESOLUTION OF NRC COMMENTS ON THE HOPE CREEK EMERGENCY PLAN A. Assignment of Responsibility (Section 2)

1. The plan does not identify the Federal and private orge-nizations intended to be part of the overall respon: )

(A.l.a and App. 5).

Section 4.0 of the plan, Emergency Response Support and Resources, describes wt'.ch federal and private organiza-tions will be called on to provide assistance.

2. The plan does not specify the concept of operations and the relationship to the total effort of each organiza-tion having an operational role (A.l.b and A.3).

Section 2.0 of the plan, Assignment of Responsibility, has been revised to address the concept of operations of each organization within PSE&G. The state plans (New Jersey and Delasare) each specifically describe their concept of operations.

3. The plan contains separate block diagrams for the utili-ty, each state, and each county, but lacks an overall block diagram to illustrate the interrelationships (A.l.c).

Two block diagrams, Figures 2-2 and 2-3, have been added to illustrate the interrelationships with each state.

For ease of illustration, a diagram has been prepared for each state, although the same interactions would occur with each state.

4. The plan does not discuss 24-hour per day manning of the communication links (A.l.e).

Section 3.3.H addresses notification and communications and describes the duties of the communicator based on the level of activation. Table 3-1 identifies the number of individuals available at each level or activa-tion.

5. The plan states that memoranda of understanding between the state of New Jersey and the states of Pennsylvania and Maryland are provided. The memoranda are not appended to the plan. Also, include in the plan the agreements with emergency response organizations that would provide on site and off site support as indicated in Section 2.1 of the plan (A.3).

1 of 12

Current copies memoranda of understanding related to the Emergency Plan are being reviewed and revised at this time and will be provided when available. These docu-ments will be listed in the list of reference documents.

6. The plan does not identify, by title, the individual who will be responsible for assuring continuity of resources (A.4).

[

Section 3.3.J describes the functions of the Administra-tive Support Supervisor and Manager who are responsible for assuring 24-hour coverage of personnel as well as acquiring materialv to support the emergency response.

7. Provide the bases for the establishment of the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) pursuant to 10 CFR 50.47(C)(2). The submission should include a definitive description of the EPZ including the factors identified in the aforementioned section of the regula-tions which were used in determining the exact size and configuration of the EPZ (10 CFR 50).

Attachment 11-1 includes the bases for the establishment of the size and configuration of the EPZ.

8. Submit radiological response plans ot state and local governments within the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone as well as the plans of state governments within the ingestion pathway Emergency Planning Zone (10 CFR 50,33[G)).

state plans for New Jersey and Delaware, which The include local governments, as well as those from the two ingestion zone states, Pennsylvania and Maryland, will either be submitted by reference or by actual submittal at a later date.

B. On Site Emergency Organization (Section 3)

1. The applicant commits in Table 3-1 to meet the staffing requirements of Table B.1 of NUREG-0654 (Table 2 of Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737). On-shift staffing per Table 3-1 of the plan identifies 12 people total on shift, but lists only 11; augmentation in 30 minutes conforms to Table B-1; augmentation in 60 minutes ident-ifies a total of 15 people, but lists only 12. The discrepancy appears to be in the augmentation of off NUREG-0654, Table site and on site survey technicians.

B-1, lists 2 additional off site and 1 additional on site in 60 minutes, where the plan has no additional people in these categories (B.5, Table B-1).

2 of 12

Table 3-1 has been revised to reflect the correct staff-ing commitments at each level. The on-shift total number has been changed to 10 individuals. Three indi-viduals have been added to the 60 minute augmentation capability (two in off site surveys and one in on site surveys).

(2. Identify the personnel who may succeed to the positions of Emergency Coordinator, Emergency Duty Officer and Emergency Response Manager, and specify the conditions, if any, for higher level utility officials assuming these functions (B.3).

Secticn 3.3.A describes the duties of the three posi-tions, Senior Nuclear shift Supervisor, Emergency Duty Officer and Emergency Response Manager which fill the role of the Emergency Coordinator. The title of Senior Nuclear Shift Supervisor is a position within the normal operating organization. The other two are emergency organization positions which are filled by assigned management personnel. The individuals assigned to fill these roles will be identified in the Emergency Procedures.

3. The plan lacks a block diagram of on site functional areas of emergency activity including the EOF, TSC and OSC interfaces (B.6).

Figures 3-1, 3-2 and 3-3 have been added which address the Emergency Response Organization, including inter-faces, for each phase of activation: on shift and ini-tial augment; short term augment; and long term augment.

4. The plan does not specify the corporate management, administrative, or technical support personnel respon-sible for providing logistics support for emergency personnel (B.7.a).

3.3.J describes the responsibilities of the Section Administrative Support Supervisor and Manager. These individuals are responsible for providing the logistics support on site and at the EOF.

C. Emergency Response Support and Resources (Section 4)

1. The plan does not describe the type of assistance DOE could provide and approximate response time to reach the site (C.l.6).

Section 4.3 addresses the type of federal assistance available through the FRMAP. A letter of agreement with DOE is provided as an attachment to this letter.

3 of 12

l 2

2. The plan does not describe the resources available to support the federal response, e.g., air fields, command posts, etc. (c.1.c).

Figure 4.1 has been added which provides information on access routes to the site. Adequate space is available at the EOF to support the federal response.

3. The plan should be clarified with regard to providing utility representatives to principle off site goverh-mental emergency operations centers (C.2.b).

4 The memorandum of understanding with each state will address commitments made by each organization.

4. The plan identifies GE'and INPO as other organizations to be relied on in an emergency for assistance, but there are no letters of agreement to support this ident-ification (C.4).

A letter of agreement with INPO is included as an Attachment to this letter. When available, a letter of agreement with GE will be provided.

5. The plan does not describe the relationship between the Hope Creek and Salem Emergency Plans, nor the support that is to be expected from Salem emergency facilities and personnel. Salem is at the same location and owned and operated by Public Service Electric and Gas Company, the operator of the Hope Creek Generating Station (C.4).

Section 3.1 describes the normal organization of PSE&G which includes both Salem and Hope Creek Generating Station organizations. The EOF and some TSC staff posi-tions are filled by individuals working within the Nuclear Department supporting both stations. The on-shift organization will be comprised of individuals routinely assigned to that station.

I D. Emergency Classification System (Section 5)

1. The plan establishes a standard emergency classification and action level scheme based on the four standard emer-gency classes: notification of Unusual Event; Alert; Site Area Emergency; and General Emergency. The discus-sion of these four classes does not address any observ-able, measurable indicators of of f-normal plant status, such as core conditions, containment conditions, engi-neered safety features and on site /off site radiological conditions used to develop the emergency action levels (EAL's). The plan states an Accident Classification 4 of 12

Guide (ACG) will be - provided later which will contain the NUREG-0654, Appendix 1, elements. This Planning Standard will be addressed when the ACG is submitted for review (A.1-and A.2).

The Accident Classification Guide (ACG) will be prepared

~

and submitted for review by December, 1984.

' 2. The plan does not address the aspect of -the initial review and discussion of the EAL's (and annually there-Jfter) with state and local governmental authorities (10

'CFR 50, Appendix E, IV.B).

The letters of agreement with each state will address the requirement for~this review on an annual basis.

E. Notification Methods and Procedures (Section 6)

1. An emergency action level scheme per Planning Standard D (and Appendix 1 of NUREG-0654) must be established by the applicant as a basis for - notification of response organizations (E.1).

The Emergency Procedures will addresr a notification scheme and will be based on the four emergency classes identified in the Accident Classification Guide.

2. Provide the format for initial notification messages and follow-up communications in the plan (E.3.4).

The Emergency Procedures will provide the format for the initial notification messages and follow-up informa-tion. When these procedures are developed, the format will be included in . the Emergency Plan for reference.

It is not expected that the format will deviate signifi-cantly from those in the SGS Emergency Procedures (see attachment to this letter).

3. Clarify Figure 6-5 of the Plan regarding Salem Nuclear Generating Station (SNGS) as the initial notification point (E.6).

Figure 6-5 has been corrected to be Hope Creek Generat-ing Station (HCGS) as the point initiating notifica-tion. The previous figure was incorrectly labeled as SNGS.

4. The plan does not discuss the applicant's role in sup-porting the state and local authorities with information to be included in public messages (E.7).

5 of 12

The emergency notification referred to in question E.2 above will be supported by operational and meteorologi-cal. data. Additionally, an EBS manual has been devel-4 oped by the states in cooperation with PSE&G'which pro-vides messages to be given to the public. This manual will be referenced in the plan.

f 5.- The plan does not address ' the aspect of coordinating planning efforts with off site authorities to ensure the administrative and physical capability will exist to alert the public and make prompt protective action decisions for rapidly developing emergency situations, especially during off-normal hours (10.CFR 50, Appendix E, IV.D.3).

Section 6.1 describes how local governments are automat-ically notitied within 15 minutes of a General Emergency declaration and are provided with a protective action recommendation based on predetermined criteria. Section 6.2 has been revised to include the methodology for alerting the public in a rapidly developing emergency.

F. BusergencyComanunicakions (Section 7)

1. Section 7.0 of the plan describes primary and secondary colamunication links with the states and counties that appear to have similar vulnerability characteristics (i.e., both systems are subject to similar type fail-

, ures). The guidance of NUREG-0654, Appendix 3, Section C.1.d should be used in selecting the back-up communica-tion system for notifying off site emergency response organizations (F.1).

The plan has been revised to address the radio capabili-ty as a secondary method of communication. Each emer-gency response facility has EMRAD radio capability.

This would be used if both company and commercial tele-phone links were lost.

2. The plan does not diccuss communication links with the radiological monitoring team and the radiological moni-toring team assembly area (F.1.d and F.1.f).

Information has not been provided in this area becauw selection of a system is currently under review. This section will be revised when a system has been chosen.

j_

3. The applicant has committed to submitting details on the Hope Creek Comunication System. This area will be reviewed and evaluated following the submittal.

l 1

The specifications on the Hope Creek Communications l System will be available by December, 1984.

4.. The plan does not provide for testing the communications with NRC Headquarters and the NRC Regional Office Opera-tions Center from the Control Room, TSC and EOF on a

[

monthly basis (10 CFR 50, Appendix E, IV.E.9.d).

Table 15-1 has been revised to address a monthly commu-nications test.

G. Public Education and Information (Section 8)

1. The general information for the applicant's public edu-cation program does not contain instructions concerning protective measures (i.e., respiratory protection and ,

radio-protective drugs) and the special needs of the handicapped (G.1).

Section 8.1 of the plan was revised to include the special needs of the handicapped. The states which are for implementing actions to protect the responsible public do not advocace a program involving administra-tion of radio-protective drugs or the use of ad-hoc respiratory protection.

2. The plan requires classification with regard to the point of contact and the physical location of space for In addition, the plan news media during an emergency.

does not provide space'for a limited number of the news media at the near-site EOF (G.3.a and b).

Section 8.2 of the plan describes the operation of the The Public Information Program during an emergency.

Public Information Manager is the primarv point of con-a tact. Section 9.1 has been revised to include location of the Emergency News description of the Center.

H. Emergency Facilitics and Equipment (Section 9)

1. The plan does not provide sufficient details of the OSC, TSC and EOF to evaluate these facilities against applic-able regulatory requirements and guidance (H.1, 2, 3).

Section 9.2 has been revised to address specific details of the EOF which is completed. The OSC and TSC are under construction and as information on these facili-ties becomes available it will be incorporated into the plan.

2. On site monitoring systems used to initiate emergency measures, as well as those to be used for conducting assessment, are not listed in the plan. Include in the description geophysical instrumentation (i.e., hydrolog-and seismic), radiological monitors and process ic monitors-(H.5).

g As information becomes available on these systems, the

. plan will be updated.

3. Provisions for acquiring data from off site hydrologic and seismic equipment are not described in the plan.

Section 9.2 describes how meteorological information can be obtained from the NWS at the Wilmington Airport.

Hydrologic and seismic information can be capability if a back-up obtained from is Salem Generating Station  :

required.

.4. The applicant has not identified fixed or mobile labora-tory facilities (H.6.c).

Section 9.2 was revised to address the available back-up laboratory facilities.

5. The plan does-not provide for an operational check of emergency equipment / instruments each calendar quarter ,

(H.10).

Section 9.4 has been revised to describe the quarterly equipment operability check.

I. Accident Assessment (Section 10)

1. The plan does not describe in sufficient detail the methods, systems and equipment to be used for assessing

+

and monitoring actual or potential off site consequences i

in the event of a radiological emergency. In Section 10

.of the plan, the applicant commits to providing informa-tion on instrumentation and plant parameter values used for accident identification and assessment, EAL determi-nation and source term. The applicant also commits to develop procedures forThis on site and off site monitoring Planning Standard will be and dose assessment.

i J.. Protective Response (Section 11) l The plan requires additional details on the monitoring l 1.

and decontamination of personnel evacuated frca the site l (J.3, 4 )

Section 11.2 of the plan was revised to address _ .the g

monitoring and decontaminacion of personnel evacuated from the site.

2. The plan, in Section 10.3, implies that protecti0e action recommendations will be made only after dose cal-culations are made, field measurements confirm the dose calculations and a comparison made of the projected integrated dose to State and EPA PAG's to determine if protective action is warranted. The plan requires revision in this area pursuant to the requirements of Appendix E, IV.D.3. The cuidance of IE Information Notice No. 83-28, " Criteria For Protective Action Recom-mendations for General Emergencies," May 4, 1983, should be used to develop protective action decisions based on care / containment status (J.i, Appendix E, IV.D.3).

The Emergency Procedures will provide guidance on making a protective action recommendation based on predeter-mined criteria which do not require dose calculations to be performed.

3. The plan refers to Attachments 11-1 and 11-2 for intor-mation on evacuation time estimates and the population distribution within fifty miles. The referenced attach-rrents were not submitted with the plan (J.8, J.10.a and b).

Attachments 11-1 and 11-2 have been included with the revised plan.

4. The plan should document the baset for recommended protective actions for the plume exposure pathway including expected local protection attorded in residen-tial units or other shelter.

This information will be provided at a later date.

K. Radiological Exposure Control (Section 12)

1. Decontamination supplies should be listed in the typical emergency tables in the plan. Disposal of decontamina-tion waste is not addressed.

Section 12.1 of the plan was revised to address the disposal of decontamination waste. Decontamination supplies are listed on the Emergency Equipment Tables, 9-1 through 9-5.

9 of 12

L. Medical and Public Health Support (Section 13)

1. Back-up hospital and medical services are not identified (L.1).

Section 13.3 has been added to the plan and describes the back-up emergency medical care facilities.

g.2 The plan commits to include an agreement letter with Salem Memorial Hospital. However, additional informa-tion is required regarding the capability of Salem Memorial Hospital as to 24-hour-per-day operation and treatment of irradiated patients.

Section 13.2 of the plan has been revised to address the 24-hour-per-day capability of Salem Memorial Hospital.

3. Letters of agreement between local ambulance squads and the utility have not been included in the plan (L.4).

PSE&G has two fully equipped ambulances on site for use during a medical emergency.

M. Recovery and Re-entry Planning and Post-Accident Operations (Section 14)

1. The plan does not define the mechanism for informing members of the response organizations that a recovery operation is to be initiated or of any organizational changes that may occur (M.3).

Section 14.2 of the plan has been revised to address how members of the emergency response organizations are notified of a change in emergency classification.

N. Exercises and Drills (Section 15)

1. The plan does not provide for exercises to be conducted under various weather conditions and for unannounced exercises (N.l.b).

Varying the date of the annual exercise would do little to assure that emergency response teams are exposed to severe weather, e.g. snow, since snowfall in southern New Jersey is rare. The additional hazards associated with driving under these conditions exceed any derived value. Unannounced drills are conducted, once yearly, j and have been incorporated into Table 15-1. i l

2. The plan does not provide for a critique, as soon as )

practicable, at the conclusion of the exercise (N.4).

Section 15.1 of the plan addresses this element.

10 of 12

O. Radiological Deergency Response Training (Section 16)

1. The plan does not provide for training for any off site support personnel (0.1.a).

Section 16.1 of the plan has been revised to address training offered to off site support personnel.

2. First Aid training equivalent to Red Cross multi-nedia

( courses is not addressed in the plan (0.3).

First Aid training equivalent to Red Cross multi-media will be offered to personnel designated as members of the First Aid Team.

3. The plan does not specify, by category, all personnel receiving specialized emergency response training (0.4).

Section 16.1 of the plan has been expanded to include the types of specialized training provided to each group involved in emergency response.

P. _ Responsibility for the Planning Effort: Development, Periodic Review and Distribution of Emergency Plans (section 17)

1. No provision is made for training individuals responsi-ble for the planning eftort (P.1).

It is a policy of PSE&G to provide professional statt members, including emergency planners, adequate outside training to maintain "sta.te-of-the-art" performance.

2. The plan does not describe an emergency planning coordi-nator with responsibiity for the day-to-day management (development and updating) of emergency plans and coor-dination with other response organizations (P.3).

Section 17.1 of the plan describes the duties of the Nuclear Emergency Planning Engineer who fills the role

• of an Emergency Planning Cocrdinator as defined in NUREG-0654.

3. Revised pages of the plan shall be dated and marked to indicate where changes have been made (P.5).

The Emergency Procedures will address the requirements associated with plan and procedure revisions such as indicating all revisions by marking ee :: revision. Each section of the plan has a cover page which is dated and the revision number is provided.

SUBJECT:

RADIOLOGICAL ASSISTANCE h l$

Since your nuclear facility is located in Region I, the Brookhaven Area Office is charged with the responsibility for providing radiological assistance in the event of an emergency. Such assistance can be requested at all times by calling 516-282-2200 and asking for radiological assis-tance, indicating the nature of the incident, the location, and how to contact authorities to coordinate our response.

The Department of Energy (DOE) will respond to requests for radio-logical assistance from licensees, Federal, State, and local agencies, private organizations, 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 1954, as amended, or other ionizing radiation sources.

Unless the DOE or a DOE concractor is responsible for the activity, ionizing radiation source, or radioactive material involved in an inci-1 dent, DOE radiological assistance will be limited to advice and emergency action essential for the control of the immediate hazards to health and sa f ety. Radiological emergency assistance will be terminated as soon as the emergency situation is under control. Therefore, responsibility for post-incident recovery, including further action for the protection of l individuals and the public health and safety, should be assumed by the

appropriate responsible Federal, State or local government, or private

, authority as soon as the emergency conditions are stabilized.

,If you have any fur'ther questions or desire further information, feel free to cc,ntact me.

Sincerely, kyf d$ k David S weller Area Manager cc: L. J. Dea!

Dear Mr.-Schnarr:

i This letter is provided to assist those utilities committed through the i regulatory process to update their emergency preparedness letters of agreement

-annually and to outline INPO's role in the event of an emergency at a member utility's nuclear power plant.

INPO will assist the affected utility by quickly applying the resources of the nuclear industry in meeting the needs of the emergency.

INPO, when notified of an emergency situation, will provide any resources under its authority in response to Public Service Electric and Gas Company's radiological emergencies, as requested. Such situations are equivalent to the

" alert," " site," and "generai" emergency conditions, as defined by NRC.

Utility emergency response planning should include notification of INPO via the dedicated emergency call number for these situations.

INPO will be able to provide the following emergency support functions:

a. assistance to the affected utility in locating sources of emer5ency 4

manpower and equipment

b. dissemination of information to member utilities concerning the incident t

applicable to their operations

c. organization of industr;. experts who could advise the utility on tech-

), nical matters To support these functions, INPO shall maintain the following emergency support capabilities:

a. dedicated emergency call number capable of reaching designated INPO staff and activating INPO support functions 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day, seven days per week i

October 19, 1983 Page Two

b. designated INPO representative (s) who can be dispatched quickly to the utility emergency response organization to coordinate INPO support .

activities and information flow f

c. 24-hours-a-day operation of an emergency response center at.INP0 The dedicated emergency call number is (404) 953-0904, and the alternate emergency call number is (404) 953-0922. An INPO duty officer will respond to the call, and the Emergency Response Center at INPO will be activated, as necessary.

When you call the emergency number after hours, an automatic dialing system will answer and give you the message on Attachment A, or an answering service will request this information and page the duty officer.

If requested by the utility, one or more suitably qualified members of INPO's technical staff will report to the recovery manager and will assist his staff in coordinating INPO's response to the emergency as follows:

a. staffing a single positicn responsible to the appropriate utility manager as'11aison for all INPO matters

b. working with the INPO duty officer in Atlanta to coordinate all requests for assistance, INFO response, and related communications

c. assisting the utility as requested in initiating and updating entries into industry information systems (such as NOTEPAD) concerning the accident status and related information of value to other utilities
