SUBJECT:

DRAFT LICENSE CONDITION A.19, UPDATING EMERGENCY PLANS There are licensing conditions to be issued as a result of the restart hearing.

These conditions were approved by the Commission in response to SECY 84-221.

By letter dated February 20, 1985, you provided your justification for why one of these conditions concerning updating emergency plans was satisfied. The license condition, embodying tha Commission'c long-term order item 4(a) from CLI-79-8, 10 CFR 141, 145 and found in the continuing requirements section of SECY 84-221, reads as follows: "A.19 The licensee shall modify its energency plan to address changing capabilities of plant instrumentation." We have reviewed your letter and find that you have been responsive to the draft license condition to date. However, we see no basis for deleting the draft license condition.

This license condition is to be imposed pursuant to the Licensing Board's Partial Initial Decision dated December 14, 1981. There the Licensing Board, in reaching its reasonable assurance finding on long-term order item 4(a),

, relied upon your long-term commitment to modify the emergency action levels (used as trigger levels in the emergency classification scheme) in the emergency plan and procedures as new instrumentation is installed in the plant.

LBP-81-59, 14 NRC 1211, 1702. The Board did not specify a time limit for this commitment and we believe it is appropriate for you to continue to consider changes or revisions to the emergency action levels to the extent that they are affected by new instrumentation which may be installed in the plant. We conclude that the draft license condition should be incorporated into the license for TMI-1.

Dear Mr. Hukill:

As you know, there are licensing conditions to be issued as a result of the restart hearing. A number of these conditions were approved by the Coninission in SECY 84-221. By letter dated February 20, 1985, you provided your justification for why one of the conditions concerning updating emergency plans was satisfied. For reasons described below, this proposed license condition will remain in the final license conditions when issued.

The license condition in question reads as follows.from SECY 84-221.

"A.19 The licensee shall modify its emergency plan to address changirg capabilities of plant instrumentation."

You view this as a one-time only requirement to upgrade your emergency plans to include the presently installed plant instrumentation, which you now document as complete.

However, as presented in SECY 84-221, this is a continuing requirment to last the lifetime of the plant. It requires that anytime you add new instrumentation which affects emergency planning then the emergency plans will be upgraded accordingly. So at present, you may have fully satisfied this requirement. But in the future when you add new instrumentation, particularly as a result of your effort to satisfy Regulatory Guilde 1.97 by the end of your Cycle seven refueling outage, this license condition will require you to upgrade your emergency plans. Therefore, this proposed licensed condition will remain in the final license condition package when issued.

Sincerely, Hugh L. Thompson, Jr., Director Division of Licensing cc: See next page ,
