l. The Farley Dnergency Plan, at Section V.C.2., says that only plant personnel will be used to fight fires in radiation controlled areas, llowever, the letter of agreement with the Dothan Fire Departr.nnt states that there is an understanding "that annual training sessions will hn held onsite concerning fire fighting in at ens rhere i 'diologi, :1 ha::ords n,./ cr ist ."
