Subject:
Response to Violations as Contained in NRC Inspection Report No. 84-41
Reference:
NRC Letter to Boston Edison, dated May 2, 1985
Dear Mr. Harpster:
This letter is in response to the violations identified during an inspection conducted by Mr. Woltner of your office during the period December 10, 1984 to December 13, 1984 and communicated to Boston Edison Company in Appendix A of the reference.
Notice of Violation 84-41-10 10 CFR 50.54(q) requires that licensees authorized to possess and/or operate nuclear power reactors follow and maintain in effect emergency plans which meet the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E.
10 CFR 50 Appendix E (2) requires that provisions be described for yearly dissemination of basic emergency planning information to the public, within the plume exposure pathway of the EPZ.
Section 6.4.3, Part 5, of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station Emergency Plan states that "This dissemination (basic radiological and emergency planning information) will be accomplished yearly by general mailing and hand distribution..."
Contrary to the above, the licensee did not disseminate the required information by general mailing for 1983 or 1984, as described in their Emergency Plan, nor could they demonstrate that the information was disseminated by other means.
Response
To correct the condition, Boston Edison Company has submitted two booklets entitled " Emergency Public Information" and " Nuclear Power... Questions and Answers" to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for review and comment. Comments from the Massachusetts Civil Defense Agency have already been received.
Upon receipt of the MDPH comments, the booklet will be revised as necessary, printed, and mailed to all postal addresses in the Emergency Planning Zone.
Multiple copies will be made available to State and local civil defense officials for redistribution to public information centers, libraries, and other areas as deemed appropriate. The mailing of the booklets is expected to be completed by September 1, 1985.
