Dear Nemen:

SOUTH TEXAS SCENARIO. REVIEW Attached areithe comments resulting from our review of the subject scenario..

The scenario;shouldLsupport a reasonable demonstration of the licensee's

' Emergency Response capability. No major deficiencies.were noted.

%.. The comments are classified as follows:

Major Deficiencies - Those which may have a serious negative impact'on the overall conduct of the' exercise - e'g.,-prevent

~'

an adequate demonstration of the licensee's Emer-gency Response capability.

Minor Deficiencies - Those items which, individually, may degrade the demonstration of certain parts of the licensee's capability, but should not significantly detract from the overall success of the exercise.

Other Deficiencies / Questions - Items such as minor deficiencies or incon-sistencies in scenario data, or matters of clarity which the licensee may.wish to examine or explain-prior to the exercise.

If you'have any questions concerning these comments, please contact me on

'FTS (509) 375-3782, or W. N. Herrington on FTS-(509) 375-6864.

Sincerely, .,

-SCENARIO REVIEW for-SOUTH TEXAS EXERCISE, JULY 13, 1988 Major Deficiencies None Minor Deficiencies

1. The plant parameters data provided do not appear complete enough to allow operators to' follow the' event sequence and demonstrate more than.the'most general understanding of'the accident.

No status of operating equipment-is provided (pumps.run'ning, etc.)

No list of key annunciators and alarms received or cleared is provided.

g' Between 10:35 and 11:15 no new data is provided.

After 11:15 no data is provided.

2. The Narrative Summary (p. 5.1.1) states that a " double ended shear of the pump suction line of RCS Loop 'C' occurs". . The Radiological Narrative Summary (p. 5.9.1) describes the failure as a " guillotine break". This discrepancy could lead to confusion on planning corrective actions.

3. Radiation Monitors /Onsite Survey (5.9.2) ' Airborne monitor readings with an

• indicate " readings are as indicated on instrument".: Several columns have blank spaces with no explanation of what this means.

4. Radiation Monitors /0nsite Survey (Section 5.9.2, Room 326) - There are two purge line columns on this data sheet. The

• indicates an 'as read' condition, however, one column has dose rates up to 100 R/hr, and the other is blank. This data sheet should be clarified.

5. Radiction Monitors /0nsite Survey (5.9.2) - No units are provided on the following'inplant data sheets:

EAB 60' Rm 301 EAB 35' Rm 201 '

Other Deficiencies / Questions l '. . Radiation Monitws/0nsite Surve be. identified with a location (ybuilding, (5.9.2) -area, Onsiteelevation,etc.)

and inplant maps should identical to that of the data sheets.
