Dear Mr. Kowieski:
Subject:
Coments On The Draft Shoreham Report i. The INEL evaluators have reviewed the subject report and would all like to commend the.ANL report writers for an excellent job. Drawing together inputs from the many evaluators and preparing a report which reads as well as this draft is indeed difficult and often a thankless task. He have paid particular attention to our own areas of evaluation and I have reviewed the entire draft. Our collective coments fo11cw. My major concern is one of consistency. It appears that in several cases tha evaluator has rated an issue as a less serious problem than has been rated in other exercises in New York. This is not fair or correct. Clearly the report writars have taken what was presented and this issue is with individual evaluators not with the report writers. If you have any questions, please contact me. Sincerely,
/0

Roger B. Kowieski Page 3 JHK-17-86 March 19, 1986 i page _ Coment t, 23, line 7 The statement should be modified to clearly indicate ; that these two ter.ms were DOE-RAP teams operating in i support of LERO. I 29, The entry under the BHO for the time of facility i l declared operational should be 0745. I believe this was my error during the time line meeting. I thought ! l corrected the entry at that time, sorry. ' e 40, lines 15-22 This whole discussion should be reviewed very and carefully. My review of the scenario and Attachment 5 k 45, #6 to OpIP 3.6.1 indicates that some rewording is needed. - 4 Attachment 5 is intended for General Emergency ECL use d I and contains the terms core failure, which is defined 1 in thu footnote as releass of fission products into ' ~ i t containment and containment failure, defined as release L
. of fission products into the atmosphere. In the '
exercise scenario there was never a release into
'{ .{ containment as such. The release pathway was by way of a broken steam line outside containment and the failure to be able is isolate the steam line. This condition was the cause of the Site Area ECL which was reported
- to the LERO EOC at 0824. One could conclude that the 2
inability to isolate the steam line and hence the leak is a loss of containment and in fact a small low levet 3 leak to the environment was occurring and was reported to the LER0 EOC at 0830. The General Emergency ECL was i declared and reported to ths LERO EOC at 0946. This declaration was caused by the continued loss of water from the primary system due to the steam leak and tho' loss of several water supply sources due to the loss of an electrical supply bus. The core f.ad at this time ' not failed to a degree to necessitate the declaration i of a General Energency ECL due to dose rates offsite
~
but clearly the potential existed for core failure. The EOF noted the major relekse at 1130 which indicated core failure although the time the LER0 EOC was
' notified was not reported. I have no problem with the concept of the issue reported here however, I believe-some rewording is essential.
42, lines 14-16 How can this be rated met? The discussion and the Table 2.1 clearly show that the siren may have been i N sounded within the 15 minute standard but the instructional message (EBS) was not given to the publi I within the 15 minute standard in all cases. 731h03 l $

areas where siren coverage is not adequate, I would think that there should be no possible confusion and that corrective action is required. ' 59, line 12 There is confusion between the statement concerning school evacuation and the Table on page 24. 66, line 5 improve readability by bringing similar issuesI thin together. Specifically I recomend moving three sentences starting with "Afte ending with . .. timely manner"r receiving. ......and in the first itne. to after the word basis 68, line 1 , Change "The" to "Two"the first word. .in the first full sentence from computer.

Roger B. Kowieski ,. page 5 JHK-17-86 March 19, 1986 g Comment 74, line 23 The evacuation zones should read A to M not A, M. If 9 the rumor control information actually said A and M and , not A to M, this is another issue which should be discussed and rated. I 81, #1 93, #1 The issue of the time required to alert the public in 106, #1 the event of a siren failure is an proper issue '[ however, in my opinion the rating should be a Deficiency. As I rsad NUREG 0654 Appendix 3, Section . B.2.c, the acceptance criteria calls for a design objective cf a 45 minute notification of the pcpulation who may not have received the initial notification. I l ' also think parts of the that population a siren notfailure would receiving result in some the initini notification. I understand that a design objective is not necessari1y'a performance standard however, if one considers the time necessary to identify Mich siren ' has failed, notify the staging area, dispatch r3ute l alerting drivers, and complete the. route, it would , appear met. that the 45 minute desigr. objactive cannot be The exercise svaluation did not include the longer that the design objective. initial step in the process a 111, line 12 The statement is true but does not give much detail. Based on discussions with ths evaluator I suggest deleting the current sentence and replacing it with:
"The flooding using generation methods.of liquid waste was minimized by not As an alternate to flooding, decontamination of vehicle surfaces was accomplished by paper towels, swipes', and damp cloths which were includsd in the solid waste."
