Gentlemen:

SUBJECT:

Inspection Report Items 8620-13 & 8620-15 - Revised Schedule to

Correct Deficiencies

Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) forwarded a schedule in Reference 3 to

correct deficiencies in the area of Emergency Preparedness.

Items 8620-13 &

l

8620-15 concerned deficiencies relative to the Emergency Assessment of Gaseous

l

and Liquid Effluents (EAGLE) computer program. A schedule to manually perform

dose assessments was addressed in Reference 4.

'

OPPD proposed to complete the necessary changes to the EAGLE computer program

to correct the deficiencies by June 1, 1988.

After investigation of the

required changes and resources available, OPPD has determinea shat the June 1,

1988 date cannot be met.

The plume-follow model contained within the EAGLE computer program will require

l

at least five modifications (e.g., eminent release, daughter-in-growth) with an

estimate of 30-35 weeks necessary to complete these changes.

Prior to

implementation, the plume-follow model must be verified and validated (V&V)

which will require an additional 25 weeks to accomplish, with a projected

completion date of June 1, 1989.

Therefore, OPPD wishes to inform you that the

revised completion date to correct deficiencies is June 1, 1989.

This delay

was discussed in a telephone conversation on January 15, 1988, between Mr.

James Fisicaro of my staff and Mr. Nemen Terc of Region IV.

During the interim, a Straight-Line Gaussian calculation method will be used.

Offsite monitor team data for discrete locations will be compared to pro-

jections for Protective Action Recommendations (PAR) upgrade if necessary. The

offsite monitor team data is not used programatically for PAR downgrade when a

release is in progress.

This is a proven method for calculating dose

assessment.

There is no safety significance associated with the delay of implementing the

-plume follow method.

The straight line method has been verified and validated

and is more conservative than'the plume follow method.

The plume follow method

is designed to provide more accurate information about discrete locations for

the longer term of recovery rather than the initial response.

The straight

line provides dose projection to 10 miles in less than 15 minutes ver:us the 30

minutes to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> required for the plume follow.

This allows for a more

timely' notification of the public.

If you have any questions pertaining to this matter, please contact us.

Sincerely,
