SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR RESPONSE TECHNICAL )

MANUAL SUPPLEMENTS (TAC NO. L20002) J

Dear Mr. Goodwin:

As indicated in the letter, dated June 8,1998, from M. Weber te you, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is in the process of preparing an RTM Supplement for each fuel cycle facility. There Supplements will not be available to the public; however, a copy of the  !

Supplement for your facility will be provided to you for your use. All proprietary and classified i

information will be protected by NRC policy accordingly.

Based on a review of licensing documents, we have prepared this request for additional '

information (RAl) to request information not found in those documents. The following licensing documents have been reviewed: (1) License Application for the Renewal, Revision 1.0, dated April 30,1995; (2) Radiological Contingency Plan Update, dated November 6,1997; (3) Hazardous Material Emergency Response and Best Management Practices Plan for Control of Toxic Substances, Hazardous Waste and Potential Oil Spills, dated November 1993; and (4) Safety Evaluation Report for the Renewal of Special Nuclear Material License SNM-1107, dated September 1995.

The RTM Supplement is designed to assist NRC incident response staff as an emergency assessment tool to facilitate event assessment, guide in determining potential health impacts on site workers and the public, and assist in event mitigation. This emergency resource will improve NRC's ability to perform its emergency function in addition to minimizing the impact on licensees during an emergency event.

The NRC understands that gathering the requested information is resource intensive.

Mr. Charles Gaskin, the Project Manager for your facility, and Ms. Yen-Ju Chen, the Project Manager for this Supplement project, will contact you shortly to coordinate an acceptable schedule for completing this RAl. Mr. Gaskin and Ms. Chen will also discuss with you your preference for providing the information through submittals to NRC or through site visits.

Please reference the above TAC number in future correspondence related to this request.

Request for AdditionalInformation Response Technical Manual Supplement Westinghouse Electric Company Division Docket 70-1151 Please provide the following additional information. Appropriate references to the GDP RTM Supplement are provided to demonstrate how the information will be presented in the document and to give an example of the level of detail that is needed.

1. Provide a legible, reproducible site map (11" x 17" or smaller) that has buildings, roads and other major structures, and the site boundary.

2. Provide Westinghouse Drawings 601F03CV01 Sheets 1 and 2 and Drawing 522F01 AR01.

3. Provide locations of CFFF dual criticality alarms referenced in Section 6.5.2, Radiological Monitors in License SNM-1107/ Radiological Contingency Plan Update, 4

dated November 6,1997.

4. Section 5, Mitigation of Consequences ano Assessment of Releases was missing from the SNM-1107/ Radiological Contingency Plan Update, dated November 6,1997.

Please provide this section.

5. The following buildings / areas have been identified as having or potentially having in them, or nearby, significant quantities of radiological and/or chemical hazardous material. Address allitems (a through k) for each building.

5.1 Fuel Manufacturing Building 5.2 UF, Storage Pad 5.3 Lagoons 5.4 Waste Treatment Building 5.5 Waste Storage Area 5.6 Advanced Liquid Waste Treatment Building 5.7 UNH Storage Tanks 5.8 Relocated Scrap Recovery 5.9 New Manufacturing Building 5.10 New Nuclear-Poisoned Fuel (IFBA) Area

a. Verify that the building / area does contain radiological and/or chemical hazardous materials. If there is no hazardous material in this building, it is not necessary to address the rest of the items.

b. Provide a legible, reproducible floor plan for the building, preferably 11" x 17" or smaller. For storage pads or other outside areas, provide the dimensions of the area.

c. Provide the dimensions (height, length, width in feet or meters) of the building.

d. Provide a brief description of the processes or function of the building.

e. Provide a list of major plant systems or processes (e.g., furnaces, calciners, i blenders, incinerators, etc.) in the building.

f. Provide a description of the building's construction (type materials, number of j stories, type of facility, such as offices, cafeteria, labs, etc L  ;

g. Provide the typical number of workers that may be in the building during each shift.

Verify that Table B-1, Hazardous Chemical Inventory from the Hazardous Material Emergency Response and Best Management Practices Plan for Control of Toxic Substances, Hazardous Waste and Potential Oil Spills, November 1993, is up-to-date. Provide quantity and location of any additional hazardous chemical materials not on this list. Provide the maximum amount of radiological l material (by radionuclide, using appropriate units such as Curies, Becquerels, grams or kilograms) that may be in process in the building during a day or shift.
