SUBJECT: JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

DOCKET No. 50-333

EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACILITIES INSPECTION NO. 88-07

RESPONSE TO OPEN ITEMS

REFERENCE: 1. NRC letter, R. R. Bellamy to R. J. Converse

dated July 7, 1988 regarding NRC Inspection

50-333/88-07, Emergency Response Facilities

Dear Sir:

The NRC transmitted inspection Report No. 50-333/88-07 as an

attachment to Reference 1. This inspection repo t summa-

rized the results of an NRC inspection of the FitzPatrick

Emergency Response Facilities (ERF) during the week of May

16-20, 1988.

The report identified three open items. This letter de-

scribes the Authority's corrective action along with an

implementation schedule for each.

The three open items identified are restated below:

1. Dose calculation procedures do not contain a method for

calculating offsite doses resulting from a real tiee

accident in which the source term is leakage through

the drywell boundary and whether any other credible,

unmonitored accident release pathways exist for which

similar methods should be developed (50-333/88-05-01).

2. The validation and verification documentation for the

Class A Dose Assessment Model is incomplete (50-333/

88-05-02),

3. There is no formalized method for controlling and

documenting the maintenance of the dose assessment

model (i.e. MMRAS and IDAC) (50-333/88-05-03).

TO: U.S.N.R.C. August 8, 1988

FROM: R. CONVERSE JAFP-88-0744

SUBJECT: INSPECTION NO. 88-07 Page 2

Response to Open Items (Corrective Act. ion and Schedule)

1. A 31 ant procedure will be developed for determining

raciological source terms for use in dose calculations

based on drywell radta. tion monitor readings and the

maximum allowabic containment leak rate as specified in

the FitzPatrick Technical Specifications. This proce-

dure will also include steps to identify credible,

unmonitored accident release pathways.

This procedure will be implemented by January, 1989.

2. A Validation and Verification program will be developed

for th computer programs that are part of the Fitz-

Patrick Meteorological Monitorin and Radiological Dose

Assessment Sy s t em - (MMRAS ) . A methodology similar to

that used to validate the FitzPatrick Offsite Dose

Calculation Manual (ODCM) will be used. The validation

and verification methodology will be documented in a

program report. The program will also develop and

document a detailed test pisn.

This program will be complete by May, 1989.

3. A plant procedure for the control and maintenance of

computer software is currently under development. This

procedure will be implemented to conttol revisions to

aoth MMRAS and IDAC (Interim Dose Assessment System)

computer programs.

This procedure will be iniplemented for MMRAS and IDAC

by May, 1989.
