RESPONSE TO ITEMS OF CONCERN IDENTIFIED
: 1.       Open Item 84-10-01: Provide        specialized                       training        to shift supervisors (emergency ' directors) in regard to                                             ,
Protective Action Decision Making (EAP-18).                                                         !

===Response===
The Power Authority agrees            to provide specialized training to shift supervisors (emergency directors) in regard to Protective Action Decision Making (EAP-18) .
This action should result in a more effective response by the shift supervisors in regards to protective ac-tion recommendations.
The specialized training on EAP-18 for shift supervi-sors will be conducted during Cycle 8 of the annual operations training schedule from October 21, 1984 to December 1, 1984.
Permanent corrective action will be to continue to provide training on EAP-18 to shift supervisors on an annual basis.

: 2. Open Item 84-10-02: Update     and distribute Emergency             i Organization assignments quarterly and complete all required training for personnel added to the list within six weeks of being placed on the list.

===Response===
The Power Authority agrees to update and distribute Emergency Organization assignments quarterly and com-plete all required training for personnel added to the list within six weeks of being placed on the list.
The Emergency Plan and EAP-17 have been revised to al-low the Emergency Planning Coordinator to update and distribute Table 5.2 " Emergency Organization Assign-ments" quarterly. The first quarterly update will take place by October 1, 1984.
: 3. Open Item 84 1.0-03: Computerize the initial dose as-sessment method:
: a. Consider use of 15 minute computer generated av-erage meteorological measurements (i.e., wind speed, wind direction and a measure of atmospher-ic stability) in the offsite dose calculations;
: b. Designate a specific individual to provide ini-tial dose calculations to the Emergency Director prior to the activation of the TSC or EOF;
: c. Implement procedure EAP-21, the refined dose as-sessment model used in the TSC/ EOF; and also
: d. Include a date and signature on the correction factors provided for calculating release rates l
from the plant stack and vent monitor readings.

===Response===
The Power Authority will continue its efforts to com-puterize the initial dose assessment method.
The immediate corrective action for parts (a) and (c)
I is to revise IAP-1 and Section 6.2 of the Emergency Plan to implement EAP-21 as the primary means of dose assessment in the TSC and EOF and the manual method as the initial dose calculation method in the Control Room. IAP-1, Section 6.2 of the Emergency Plan and EAP-21      implement  15   minute        computer   generated meteorological data for offsite dose calculations.
l             This      data is provided from the Niagara Mohawk l            meteorological instrumentation and computer system.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission                                            August 2, 1984 Attention: Thomas T. Martin, Director                                                  JAFP-84-0757 Inspection No. 84-10                                                                   Page 3 w
Training of the operators for accessing this data will be completed by November, 1984.
A new computer system to provide 15 minute meteorolog-ical data is currently being installed at JAFNPP.
,               Completion of this installation is scheduled for Janu-ary, 1985.          Based on the expected completion of this computer system, the Authority expects to provide 15 minute meteorological data for offsite dose calcula-tions from the JAFNPP computer by February 15, 1985.
The permanent corrective action for part (b) will be to have an on-shift RES technician provide initial dose calculations to the Emergency Director prior to
:               the activation of the TSC or EOF.                                              This will take place by the completion of the next annual _ emergency plan training cycle for RES techniciana, which will be completed by July 31, 1985.
The permanent corrective action for part (d) will be to have the correction factors form include a date and signature. This form will also become incorporated in the next revision of PSP-5 " Radioactive Airborne Sam-
!              pling,        Analysis         and          Equipment                  Calibration"       to  be filled-out by the designated RES technician.                                           Revision of PSP-5 will be completed by November 1,1984.
j         4. Open Item 84-10-04: Meteorological monitoring program.
: a.      Take immediate corrective action to recalibrate and adjust the meteorological strip charts and also, identify the 61(m) and 9(m) wind direction                                           E and wind speed and also the 8-61(m) delta temper-ature meteorological parameters as safety related and provide daily surveillance checks of the dis-play parameters.
;              b. Provide a complete description of the FitzPatrick (Niagara Mohawk) meteorological monitoring pro-gram in FSAR Section 2.2 in the next revision.
: c. Provide a procedure to implement .the remote in-terrogation capabilities of the meteorological monitoring system.

===Response===
The -immediate corrective action for part (a) was to recalibrate the strip - chart displays in the control room. -The permanent corrective action for part (a) will be to develop procedures for assuring strip chart displays are properly calibrated and maintained by December 31, 1984.
