Follow-up on Previous Inspection Findings
(Closed) IFI (85-32-07): Complete arrangements with offsite service
groups to ensure availability of offsite support during emergencies.
An updated agreement letter with Seabrook Fire Department, dated
May 14, 1986, was incorporated into the plan by Amendment 59 to the
FSAR. The letter includes provisions for ambulance transportation to
local medical facilities. Training modules for offsite fire fighters
were approved and on April 15-17, 1986, 12 fire fighters from Seabrook
Fire Department received training on plant access / egress and medical
emergencies.
In addition, Amendment 59 to the FSAR specifies annual
training for offsite support groups, including medical and fire fighters.
The emergency equipment and supplies designated for Exeter Hospital have
been completed in accordance with procedure ER-8.1 inventory sheet. All
arrangements with offsite groups under this item are considered complete.
This item is closed.
(Closed) IFI (85-32-12/13):
Ensure that arrangements for transportation
of onsite contaminated / injured personnel are made and described in plans
and procedures.
Section 10.5.2 of the plan and procedure ER-4.4, "Onsite Medical Emer-
gency" have beer revised to show that the Seabrook Fire Department will
provide transportation for onsite contaminated / injured personnel. An
updated letter of agreement was completed with the Seabrook Fire Depart-
ment (see Item 85-32-07),above).
Provision for annual training for local
fire support and local ambulance service has been incorporated in the
plan.
This item is closed.
(Closed) IFI (85-32-15b): Qualification criteria for assignment to
positions in the Emergency Response Organizations (ERO) were not
specified.
Appendix A to the plan, " Emergency Response Organization Position Defi-
'
nitions," was revised by Amendment 59 to the FSAR to show qualification
criteria for the members of the ERO.
In addition, the personnel assign-
ments that are also described in Appendix A are commensurate with the
individual's routine operational position, i.e., duties during emergencies
are similar to those performed during routine operations. This item is
closed.
(Closed) IFI (85-32-19):
Finalize the meteorological system design
consistent with FSAR commitments and revise the description in the plan.
On May 9. 1986, the licensee submitted a proposed change to the plan as
well as similar proposed changes to Section 2.3 of the FSAR which updated
'
the description of the Seabrook meteorological monitoring program. This
update was incorporated into the plan by Amendment 59 to the FSAR. This
item is closed.

(Closed) IFI (85-32-20):
Provide for backup meteorological measurements
representative of conditions in the vicinity of the site.
Amendment 59 to the FSAR (plan) provides for an arrangement between Yankee
Nuclear Services Division (YNSD) and Weather Services International (WSI)
for backup meteorological data including a terminal in the emergency oper-
ations facility (EOF).
The plan also provides for backup weather data
from National Weather Services (NWS) offices, hourly data from Pease
Air Force Base (13 miles away) through WSI, Portland, ME, and Concord,
NH NWS stations.
Procedure ER-5.6 provides instructions for the dose
assessment coordinator at the EOF on WSI System Operations.
In addition,
Section 6.2.3.1 of the plan was revised to provide for corporate meteor-
ological support available on a 24-hr. emergency call basis.
Further,
corporate meteorological support personnel can access EOF weather data.
Backup power to the onsite meteorological tower instrumentation is still
being evaluated by the licensee. The licensee has stated that the evalu-
ation and actions to enhance meteorological system reliability will be
completed by December 31, 1986.
Based on the provision for multiple backup sources of meteorological data,
one of which is considered to be representative of conditions in the
vicinity of tha site, and the licensee's commitment to resolve the onsite
meteorological system reliability by the end of the year, this item is
closed.
(Closed) IFI (85-32-21):
Provide a method for notification of impending
severe weather to the control room.
An arrangement (document date of April 30,1986) through the Power Supply
Department, Public Service of New Hampshire provides for notification to
the Seabrook control room of impending severe weather. A supporting
procedure, New Hampshire Satellite Operating Procedure #21, " Operations
During Emergency Situations," issued in May 1986, provides instructions
i
for notifying Seabrook of severe weather and other potentially severe
situations (e.
g., bomb threat, CBR attack, natural phenomena). This
item is closed.
(Closed) IFI (86-18-01):

Site Emergency Director (decision to make recommendations on protective
l
actions is specified in procedures, not in plan) and the Response Manager
l
that may not be delegated, including the decision to notify offsite
l
authorities and make protective action recommendations. The licensee
i
committed to further revise Appendix A to the plan, by a future amendment
to the FSAR, to specify that the Site Emergency Director has the non-
,
l
delegable responsibility to make protective action recommendations to
i
offsite authorities. Based on the revisions to the plan and procedures

In
addition, on April 2, 1986, the licensee submitted a cross-reference
between the Seabrook EALs and NUREG-0654 which confirms that the EALs
are consistent with the guidance criteria of NUREG-0654.

(Closed)IFI(50-443/86-18-25):
Steps 18-20 of form 2.2B (contained in ERs-1.5 and 2.2) require use of
the HP-41 calculator to project dose at the site boundary, 2 miles, and 5
miles.
This requirement cannot be met with the present HP-41 system and
software.
(See paragraph D.1, item 85-32-14d).
The inspectors verified that revised Form 2.28, Revision 4 contained
spaces for the - following information; radioactive release rate data,
meteorological data, and off-site exposure data, including dose rates and
integrated doses at the site boundary, 2 miles, 5 miles, and 10 miles for
whole body, and thyroid.
The inspectors also verified that the revised HP-41 system and software
provides the capability to project doses at the site boundary, 2, 5 and
10 miles. Control room personnel have been trained in the use of initial
dose projection equipment and procedures.
