During our meeting on January 5, you expressed a need for additional information on the manner in which our proposed Emergency Response Data System would obtain data from existing data systems at nuclear power plants.
I had my staff review the information we have available on electronic data systems that licensees are planning or currently using for emergency response 1
information services.
The designs are extremely diverse, reflecting the l
won m
specific organizationakgeographic situations and policy preferences of the x
various licensees.
To the best of our knowledge, Duke Power is the only utility which has incorporated a human link in its intra-orporate information system.
Duke personnel told us last summer that Honeywell was then working j
l under contract to provide a hard-wired link between their plant process l
l computer and the station computer which provides offsite data transfer.
Once complete, the two computers could be programmed to provide information to NRC automatically.
l
(
l l O l
As currently configured, the Duke system draws its information from a unit's j
1 Operator Aid Computer (0AC).
The OAC maintains a table of approximately 8000 data points describing the status of its unit and the local meteorology.
j These parameters are automatically updated at periods of one to several seconds.
During normal operations, those data are automatically logged every 15 minutes.
For purposes of providing data to offsite emergency response l
I personnel, " reports" of up to 252 selected parameters can be electronically l
1 drawn from the current data table or the data log files and output to a floppy disk.
The disk is then manually transferred from the OAC to the l

station computer,'The data is then fed electronically into the e p s.'AVAX N-*'***

computer which supports dial-in capabilities for offsite users.
During an j
event, corporate response centers and the NRC use remote computer terminals to O

dial into the VAX over normal telephones lines.
A technician at the affected
)
p site requests reports from the OAC at intervals of approximately 15 minutes, v
transfers them to the VAX (using the floppy di.sk), reviews them for accuracy, and then transmits them to the output files for remote users.
This automatically sends a message to the remote users that another data set is ready.
The users then enter commands on their terminals to have the data set l
transferred to them for local printing or other use.
These data sets contain I
60 standard parameters plus any specific additions requested for the particular event in progress.
)
This is the least automated system of which we are aware.
Duke personnel seem to be aware of the limitations it imposes and are looking at methods for providing trending information and other enhancements as well as the hard-wired computer interface.

In contrastg e SPDS at Yankee Rowe Aw--a fully automated capability for th transmitting data offsite.
Like the Duke system, the Yankee Rowe system automatically acquires data from plant sensors with scan frequencies ranging
)
I from 0.1 to 32 seconds.
A Classic 7840 computer is used to calculate derived j
I valces, maintain current and historical data files, and compare the data to I
alarm limits and validation criteria.
A display generator is used to control interactive terminals for the control room operators.
In addition to these directly connected terminals, the system has a MODEM Controller with 16 i
input / output ports.
These ports are suitable for communication with offsite locations over standard telephone lines.

Although the Yankee Rowe system is currently programmed to provide data to the I
I modem ports only when specifically requested to do so by interaction with a user of the port, it should be easy to program the system to routinely l
l transmit the NRC parameter list over a specified port without requiring NRC to j
1 repeatedly interrogate the system's computer.

Plant.
The Susquehanna electronic data system [like all the others, acquire l
data directly from the p.lans sensors and provide for CRT displays at the various onsite emergency response facilities and in the control room.

i the Ata at the Operations Center.
We intend to then conduct limited exercises with our technical emergency response teams in order to evaluate such things as the value of the increased update frequency and the need for display refinements.
,1 Although our pr6 ject with Su3quehanna will not be employing the actual
- i equipment we intend to utilize for final implementation of the ERDS at the Operations Center, we believe it will provide a realistic representation of the ERDS capabilities we hope to obtain.

1/3ll8f The Conraission is currently considering the appropriate form of a data trans-I O
missioa system which should de 4 plemented.
The commissioa nas previousix defined the NRC's primary role in an emergency at a licensed nuclear facility as one'of monitoring the licensee to assure that appropriate recommendations are made with respect to offsite protective actions.
To fulfill the NRC's role, both the Site and Headquarters Teams require accu-rate, timely data on four types of parameter:
(1)coreandcoolantsystem conditions (2) conditions inside the containment building; (3) radioactivity release rates; and (4) the data from the plant's meteorological tewer.
IE has recommended that automatic transmission of selected parameters from licensees' existing electronic data systems is the option that is most capable of provid-ing acceptably complete and reliable data on a timely basis at reasonable cost with the minimum potential for burdening the licensee in an emergency.
Pending Conrnission approval, IE will takc action to implemen+, a system to meet the NRC's data needs during nuclear emergencies.
