! Cecil O. Thomas, Chief Standardization and Special Projects Branch Division of Licensing U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555 ! ,

Dear Mr. Thomas:

In response to your letter dated June 22, 1984 RRF requests that the f ollowing changes be made to our previously submitted

' Emergency Plan.

! Section 2.0: Definitions Change the existing definition of Operations Boundary and Site Boundary with,

" OPERATIONS BOUNDARY - The area within the site boundary as shown in the floor plan of the Reed Reactor Facility is the operations boundary. When the door labeled 'A' is' closed it consists of the area outlined in black. When the door labeled

'A' is open the operations boundary is expanded to include the area outlined in hatched lines. Within the operations boundary the reactor chief administrator has direct authority over all l activities. The area within this boundary shall have prearranged

! evacuation procedures known to all personnel frequenting the area.

SITE. BOUNDARY - The site boundary is that boundary, not l

necessarily having restricting barriers, including the adjoining chemist.ry building and extending 250 feet in every direction f rom the operations boundary. Within this area the reactor administrator may directly initiate emergency activities. The area within the site boundary may be frequented by persons unacquainted with reactor operations."

i The definitions of onsite and offsite remain unchanged.

Organization and Responsibilities Section3.0l.

The agreements requested will be sent when received.

~ provide pertinent non-radiological information in the event of an emergency.

1) High low water alarm lights in west hall, roof, and buzzer in console room.

2)-Pool Temperature Probe Buzzer on console.

3) Ventilation-system red lights in reactor and isolation cycle indicator console rooms. Both visible from west hall.

L Section 9.0: Recovery ,

Replace existing paragraph with,

" Restoring the RRF to a safe operating condition af ter an emergency shall be the ~ responsibility of the emergency coordinator. In the event that recovery procedures are necessary they shall~ be written by the emergency coordinator and reviewed

~ by the reactor operations and reactor safety committees. Any

. operations necessary to restore the facility to operational status will be done by the emergency coordinator. The RRF Health

. Physics staff shall survey, decontaminate, and ascertain that the

' contamination, and ascertain that contamination and radiation

t.

I believe that these changes are sufficient to meet the Commission's requirements with the exception of Section 3.0.

Please keep me informed on further developments.
