SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR RESPONSE j MANUAL SUPPLEMENTS (TAC NO. L20002)

Dear Mr. Vaughan:

As indicated in the letter, dated June 8,1998, from M. Weber to you, the U.S. Nuclear ,

Regulatory Commission (NRC) is in the process of preparing an RTM Supplemel cycle facility. These Supplements will not be available to the public; however, a cop Supplement for your facility will be provided to you for your use. All proprietary information will be protected by NRC policy accordingly.

Based on a review of licensing documents, we have prepared this request for additiona information (RAl) to request information not found in those documents. TM following (1) The GE Nuclear Energy Production Facility Radiological documents have been reviewed:

Contingency and Emergency Plan, Revision 5, dated December 1997; (2) Licens Application, dated June 5,1997; (3) Safety Evaluation Report for the Renewal, d 1997; and (4) Environmental Assessment for the Renewal, dated May 1997.

l The RTM Supplement is designed to assist NRC incident response staff as an emergency t assessment tool to f acilitate event assessment, guide in determining potential health on site workers and the public, and assist in event mitigation. This emergency resou improve NRC's ability to perform its emergency function in addition to minimiz licensees during an emergency event.

The NRC understands that gathering the requested information is resource intensive l Mr. Sean Soong, the acting Project Manager for your f acility, and Ms. Yen-Ju C l

Manager for this Supplement project, will contact you shortly to coordinate an a l schedule for completing this RAl. Mr. Soong and Ms. Chen will also discuss with you your preference for providing the information through submittals to NRC or throug Please reference the above TAC number in future correspondence related to this re 1

Request for AdditionalInformation Response T echnical Manual Supplement General Electric Docket 70-1113 Please provide the following additionalinformation. 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 tne level of detail that is needed.

1. Provide locations and descriptions of fixed chemical and radiological instrumentation, including criticality monitors, either in tabular form or as a legible, reproducible site map.

2. Provide legible, reproducible copies of the following figures from the Radiological Contingency and Emergency Plan (RC&EP), dated December 16,1997: Figure 1.1, Figure 1.3, Figure 1.4, Figure 1.5, Figure 5.1, and Figure 5.3.

3. Table 1.1 of the RC&EP, dated December 16,1997, provides information on Bulk Chemical Storage at the GE-Wilmington site. Please show either on a site map or by description, by building and location in building, where these chemicals are located. If the amount of chemicals have changed since this revision was issued, please provide the most recent information.

4. Section 1.1.4 of the RC&EP, dated December 16,1997, describes authorized activities. State in which building or buildings each of these activities takes place.

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 all items (a through j) for each building.

5.1 Fuel Manufacturing Operation (FMOX) 5.2 The Fuels Component Operation (FCO) 5.3 The GE Aircraft Facility (AE) 5.4 The Services Component Operation (SCO) 5.5 The Final Process Lagoons 5.6 The Waste Treatment Facility 5.7 The Incinerator Building 5.8 Site Maintenance 5.9 The DA Building 5.10 FMO Storage 5.11 FMO Maintenance 5.12 AE Maintenance 5.13 Fuel Examination Technology Facility 5.14 Dry Conversion Process Building (DCP) 5.15 The CaF, Storage Warehouse 5.16 The Sanitary Facility 5.17 The HF Facility Enclosure l

a. Verify that the building does contain hazardous materials (radiological and/or chemical). If there is no hazardous material in this building, it is not necessary to

address the rest of the items.

l i

b. Provide the approximate building dimensions (width, length, and height),

including number of floors, or provide a scale drawing (s) that includes the data.

l

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

I

d. Provide a copy of legible, reproducible floor plan or building iayout for the building.

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

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

g. Provide a :!st of all radiological and chemical hazardous materials, others than those given in Table 1.1 of the RC&EP, dated December 16,1997,in the building. Include in the list the maximum quantity (in appropriate units such as pounds, kilograms, curies, becquerels) that may be in the building at any one time. Provide the storage or process location for each materialin the building.

(This information will be used to develop bounding accident consequence assessment, in both tables and figures, as shown in Section 2 of GDP RTM Supplement.)

h. Identify the primary barrier of each material (such as tank, cylinder, process piping, or other container and the capacity) for the materials listed in item g above and the materials described in Table 1.1 of the RC&EP, dated December 16,1997. Note the number of containers and . locations in the building. Identify any secondary barrier other than a building. Identify failure modes of the primary barriers (e.g., pigtail rupture, piping failure, breach of tank). (This information will be used to develop bounding accident consequence assessment, in both tables ,

and figures, as shown in Section 2 of GDP RTM Supplement.) j i

1. Provide a description of the conditions under which the materialis stored or ,

used, including process systems or containers that hold the material and the barriers that may impact its release or dispersion. Where applicable, identify security and access controls for the storage and use locations. Identify local or ,

j. Provide the properties of the materials processed or stored in the building. The information should include, but not limited to, physical form and chemical characteristics of the material (e.g., solid, liquid, gas, flammability, density),  ;

radiological character:stics, and temperature and pressure conditions under '

which materials are stored, processed, used, or transported. (This information will be used to develop bounding accident consequence assessment, in both tables and figures, as shown in Section 2 of GDP RTM Supplement.)
