ENCLOSURE L

c RESPONSE TO JOHN A. OLSHINSKI'S LETTER DATED NOVEMBER 28, 1984

' Deficiency? : Revision 9 - The review of changes to the REP submitted as 1

revision 9 indicated that Implementing Procedure 7 (IP-7),

" Emergency Equipment and Supplies," has been deleted. This 1

A procedure provided for the periodic inspection and

maintenance of emergency equipment and supplies. Failure to j:

I provide for this is inconsistent with the specific planning criteria in Section II.H.10 of NUREG-0654, which states that I

each organization shall make provisions to inspect, i

j inventory,~and operationally check emergency o

i equipment / instruments at 1 east once each calendar quarter t

~

E and after each use.

i

. Response:

. This deficiency is concerned with the deletion of IP-7, l

" Emergency Equipment and Supplies," which contained the

! 7 requirement that emergency equipment / instruments are to be operationally checked at least once each calendar quarter 4:

f' and after each use. This requirement was taken out of the it REP and placed in a corporate administrative document.

Specifically, the requirement is contained.in a Section Instruction Letter of the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Section. Therefore, the requirement for I

conducting these inspections was not deleted from practice.

TVA will incorporate a reference to the Section Instruction Letter into the Sequoyah REP by March 1,.1985.

Deficiency 2: Revision 11 - Section 7.1.12, " Prompt Notification Systems,"

was added to the plan. This addendum was found to meet the n

Criteria for Acceptance in revision 1 of NUREG-0654, Appendix'3, Section B,and 10 CFR 50.47(b)(5)(7), except that notification by consercial broadcasts and the contents of the message were not addressed, 'although the plan states that the tone-alert radios are placed in institutions.

Failure to provide for this is inconsistont with the specific planning criteria in Section ~II.E.7 of NUREG-0654, which states, in part, that "Each organization shall provide

' written messages intended'for the public...:the role of

the licensee is to provide supporting information for the i

messages."

r Response l This oeficiency dealt with Section 71'.12 of the REP which contains'a description _of the prompt' notification system.

4 The' inconsistency noted.Was the~ absence of a' description of p

notification by commercial broadcasts and contents of the messages.- NUREG-0654,Section II.E.7 specifically states l

.that ".~.. draft messages to the.public giving instructions

,s

. ith regard to specific protective actions to be taken.by w

occupants of affected areas,s_ hall be prepared:and included as part of the State and local plans." Sample messages are contained in Annex D of.the State of Tennessee Sequoyah REP and listings of commercial broadcast -stations'which would

'~

. broadcast ~the messages are contained in Appendix I and.

.r O

Appendix II of this same document. TVA supported the State in the development of this system and believes that the.

requirements are satisfied. - Therefore, we believe that.TVA Land State plans are consistent'with NUREG-0654 in this area

_ _ _'and see no reason to modify the plan.
