Dear Mr. Moore:

Enclosed for your review are the Regional Assistance Committee's (RAC ' s) informal evaluation comments on the Off-Site Radiological Emergency Response Plans (January 1984 revision) for the Catawba Nuclear Station. These comments are submitted to your office for appropriate action.

In view of the Catawba Hearings, which we understand will be held next month, it is urged that these changes be submitted to this office by April 13, 1984. On Wednesday, April 4, 1984, a member of our staff plans to meet with one of your staff to go over recommended plan changes and, possibly, other items related to the Catawba Hearings.

The evaluation comments are the result of the RAC meeting held on March 21, 1984, and represent concurring opinions of all RAC rep-resentatives (i.e., FDA, EPA, DOT, DOC, NRC and FEMA).

Should you have questions or need clarification on any of the items, please contact John Heard at 404/881-7079.

Sincerely, w

enn u,. . dard, Jr., Chief tural nd Technological Hazards Division Chairman, RAC IV Enclosure Aconceu

CATAWBA PLAN (JANUARY 1984 REVISION) REVIEW

,' . by RAC, March 21, 1984 (SOUTH CAROLINA)

NUREG ITEM RAC COMMENT S.C. RESPONSE i A.3. Private sector organizations with re-sponsibilities assigned in plan should have letters of agreement in the plan.

These 1.o.a. 's should meet NUREG-0654 '

criteria.

G.4.c. Rumor control arrangements are not dis-cussed in plan. A narrative discussion is needed giving specific responsibili-ties for rumor control and describing coordination arrangements.

H.ll. Emergency kits by general category (protection' equipment, communications, etc.) are not listed in an appendix as prescribed in NUREG-0654.

J.10.a. Preselected radiological sampling and monitoring points for the plume expo-sure pathway'are not on the operations map submitted.

1 J.10.d. There is no listing of special facilities (with number of occupants) for the mo-bility-impaired or institutionalized and no listing of resources to assist in the evacuation of this segment of the popu-lation. Plan also does not define "special facilities" and does not indi-cate that.the County has identified the mobility-impaired.

J.10.k. Plan needs clarification of procedures by which the Transportation Coordinator would deal with special evacuation prob-lems. Potential impediments to evacua-

, tion routes are not addressed. While the S.C. Comprehensive Disaster Preparedness Plan describes the authority and opera-tions of the Forestry Commission to re-

, move debrisfin the event of a Governor's

Declared Disaster, the coordinating links .

j with the local Transportation Coordinator i are not described.

! K.3.a. Plan should provide for the issuance of-

! . low-range dosimeters (e.g., CDV 138's) and permanent! record devices (e.g., TLD's or film badges) to emergency workers.
