We receive, from time to time, recommendations from our Regional p Offices concerning the upgrading of requirements in specific p plant technical specifications. These recommendations are _p frequently based on a comparison with Regulatory Guides and e the type of requirements being incorporated into technical E specifications for new facilities. We have ban forwarding h -

pertinent cocments to Project Managers within your organizations when a Project Manager for that particulars facility has been 1 assigned. However, in the case of Yankee Rowe a Project .y Manager has not been assigned, therefore, we are forwarding - L. ~ =k our comments to you. ("p

.. .. g.g We recognize that there is no licensing action pending for E. E Yankee Rowe and, therefore, changes and additions to the L technichl specifications cannot be accomplished in the L.

near future. We request, however, that our comments be E retained on file until such time as they may be considered U for incorporation into new or revised technical specifications [

for Yankee Rowe. g _

Specific comments are as follows:

~

l. The licensee's meteorology program is not consistent with Regulatory Guide 1.23 recomendations. Of particular concern ._

is the fact that wind speed and direction are measured at the 30 foot level while most airborne releases from the plant d are at the 140 foot level.

2. There are no technical specifications for a non-radiological monitoring program. ,

3. There are several inconsis+encies between the proposed [::

technical specifications ano the FSAR concerning how airborne iodine is to be analyzed. -

4. The required frequency for gross alpha analyses is based bl:1 on when alpha activity is present in the release. It p has been noted that the wording of this recuirement leads to confusion between the licensee anc the p" ,

r contractor (for environmental sample analyses) as to  :

what is required.
