Dear Mr. Krimm:
SUBJECT:
EXERCISE EVALUATION AND SIMULATION FACILITY (EESF) DOSE l
ASSESSMENT MODEL MODIFICATIONS t
REFERENCE:
Memo on subject from R. Krimm to E. Jordan dated March 6, 1985 i
This letter responds to your concerns regarding the technical adequacy of i
assessment aids in your EESF, the presentation of the capability in various 1
training programs, and the potential utilization of the EESF as an operational p_
assessment aid.
To address your immediate concern regarding the NRC imple-7 mented version of MES0 RAD, we will provide FEMA with the version in use by the NRC as the staff review is completed.
You have my assurances that FEMA will be
.the first non-NRC recipient of the code. The points you raised in your 1etter cover a wider range of issues than just the model in EESF and I concur that our staffs should begin discussions to resolve them.
The NRC response staff has conducted workshops on protective action l
decisionmaking and the role of accident assessment with licensee, state, and
=
l local officials.
This experience has indicated that there may be basic prob-lems with operational use of complex models and misconceptions concerning their l
role and application during accidents.
To be an effective training tool MES0 RAD must be incorporated.into a total training program. We recognize that FEMA is in a unique position to provide state and local response organization with this training.
Therefore, we propose that our staffs work together to develop a training program that will assure that the fundamental concepts concerning the role and use of dose assessment tools during a reactor accident are understood.
