ENCLOSURE

, :c L RESPONSE TO JOHN A. OLSHINSKI'S LETTER DATED NOVEMBER 28, 1984

' Deficiency? : Revision 9 - The review of changes to the REP submitted as 1

revision 9 indicated that Implementing Procedure 7 (IP-7),

" Emergency Equipment and Supplies," has been deleted. This 1 A procedure provided for the periodic inspection and j: ,-  : maintenance of emergency equipment and supplies. Failure to provide for this is inconsistent with the specific planning I ,

I criteria in Section II.H.10 of NUREG-0654, which states that  ;

each organization shall make provisions to inspect, i j inventory,~and operationally check emergency o equipment / instruments at 1 east once each calendar quarter

~

i t E -

and after each use.  ;

i

. Response: . This deficiency is concerned with the deletion of IP-7, l

!_ " Emergency Equipment and Supplies," which contained the

!7 requirement that emergency equipment / instruments are to be 4: operationally checked at least once each calendar quarter f' - and after each use. This requirement was taken out of the ,i it REP and placed in a corporate administrative document.

Specifically, the requirement is contained .in a Section Instruction Letter of the Radiological Emergency

- Preparedness Section. Therefore, the requirement for I conducting these inspections was not deleted from practice.

TVA will incorporate a reference to the Section Instruction ,

'- Letter into the Sequoyah REP by March 1,.1985.

Deficiency 2: Revision 11 - Section 7.1.12, " Prompt Notification Systems,"

n was added to the plan. This addendum was found to meet the Criteria for Acceptance in revision 1 of NUREG-0654, Appendix'3, Section B,and 10 CFR 50.47(b)(5)(7), except that notification by consercial broadcasts and the contents ,

of the message were not addressed, 'although the plan states that the tone-alert radios are placed in institutions.

Failure to provide for this is inconsistont with the

• • • - specific planning criteria in Section ~II.E.7 of NUREG-0654, which states, in part, that "Each organization shall provide

' written messages intended'for the public . . .:the role of

the licensee is to provide supporting information for the i messages."

r This oeficiency dealt with Section 71'.12 of the REP which

. Response l 4 contains'a description _of the prompt' notification system. '

p The' inconsistency noted.Was the~ absence of a' description of

notification by commercial broadcasts and contents of the ,

messages.- NUREG-0654,Section II.E.7 specifically states _

l

,s * .that ".~. . draft messages to the.public giving instructions

.with regard to specific protective actions to be taken.by occupants of affected areas ,s_ hall be prepared:and included as part of the State and local plans." Sample messages are contained in Annex D of.the State of Tennessee Sequoyah REP and listings of commercial broadcast -stations'which would O '~ . broadcast ~the messages are contained in Appendix I and . .r Appendix II of this same document. TVA supported the State in the development of this system and believes that the.

requirements are satisfied. - Therefore, we believe that.TVA Land State plans are consistent'with NUREG-0654 in this area
