Subject:
Saxton Nuclear Experimental Corporation (SNEC)
Changes to SNEC Facility Emergency Plan Operating License No. DPR-4 Docket No. 50-146 f
The SNEC Facility does not contain any irradiated fuel, which was removed in 1972. In addition, the reactor and other major components have been removed from the site.
Therefore, many of the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47 and Appendix E to 10 CFR 50 do not apply. However, paragraph 2C of the Saxton license states:"This license shall be j
deemed to contain and be subject to... Sections 50.54 and 50.59 of Part 5010 CFR."
j i
The attachments to this letter summarize a series of four revisions that have i;een made to I
the SNEC Emergency Response Procedure and Emergency Plan since April 8,1997.
Prior to implementation each change was subjected to a review in accordance with the criteria of 10 CFR 50.59. The changes were not, however, forwarded to the NRC i
Document Control Desk as required by 10 CFR 50.54(q).
1 The revisions include changes to reflect current site conditions and changes in management and departmental titles to reflect changes in organizational structure. Also j
included are changes to the Emergency Notification Protocol listing. Additional changes were made to the procedure to increase the effectiveness of the program during
]
emergencies.
,y 037
\\
[)
The changes, both individually and in total, have been reviewed in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54 (q). The changes are primarily administrative and editorial in nature and do not reduce the effectiveness of the plan. GPU Nuclear regrets the oversight and has i
taken measures to preclude recurrence.
