4. Follow-up on Previous Inspection Findings

(Closed) IFI (85-32-07): Complete arrangements with offsite service

groups to ensure availability of offsite support during emergencies.

An updated agreement letter with Seabrook Fire Department, dated

May 14, 1986, was incorporated into the plan by Amendment 59 to the

FSAR. The letter includes provisions for ambulance transportation to

local medical facilities. Training modules for offsite fire fighters

were approved and on April 15-17, 1986, 12 fire fighters from Seabrook

Fire Department received training on plant access / egress and medical

emergencies. In addition, Amendment 59 to the FSAR specifies annual

training for offsite support groups, including medical and fire fighters.

The emergency equipment and supplies designated for Exeter Hospital have

been completed in accordance with procedure ER-8.1 inventory sheet. All

arrangements with offsite groups under this item are considered complete.

This item is closed.

(Closed) IFI (85-32-12/13): Ensure that arrangements for transportation

of onsite contaminated / injured personnel are made and described in plans

and procedures.

Section 10.5.2 of the plan and procedure ER-4.4, "Onsite Medical Emer-

gency" have beer revised to show that the Seabrook Fire Department will

provide transportation for onsite contaminated / injured personnel. An

updated letter of agreement was completed with the Seabrook Fire Depart-

ment (see Item 85-32-07),above). Provision for annual training for local

fire support and local ambulance service has been incorporated in the

plan. This item is closed.

(Closed) IFI (85-32-15b): Qualification criteria for assignment to

positions in the Emergency Response Organizations (ERO) were not

specified.

'

Appendix A to the plan, " Emergency Response Organization Position Defi-

nitions," was revised by Amendment 59 to the FSAR to show qualification

criteria for the members of the ERO. In addition, the personnel assign-

ments that are also described in Appendix A are commensurate with the

individual's routine operational position, i.e., duties during emergencies

are similar to those performed during routine operations. This item is

closed.

(Closed) IFI (85-32-19): Finalize the meteorological system design

consistent with FSAR commitments and revise the description in the plan.

On May 9. 1986, the licensee submitted a proposed change to the plan as

'

well as similar proposed changes to Section 2.3 of the FSAR which updated

the description of the Seabrook meteorological monitoring program. This

update was incorporated into the plan by Amendment 59 to the FSAR. This

item is closed.

(Closed) IFI (85-32-20): Provide for backup meteorological measurements

representative of conditions in the vicinity of the site.

Amendment 59 to the FSAR (plan) provides for an arrangement between Yankee

Nuclear Services Division (YNSD) and Weather Services International (WSI)

for backup meteorological data including a terminal in the emergency oper-

ations facility (EOF). The plan also provides for backup weather data

from National Weather Services (NWS) offices, hourly data from Pease

Air Force Base (13 miles away) through WSI, Portland, ME, and Concord,

NH NWS stations. Procedure ER-5.6 provides instructions for the dose

assessment coordinator at the EOF on WSI System Operations. In addition,

Section 6.2.3.1 of the plan was revised to provide for corporate meteor-

ological support available on a 24-hr. emergency call basis. Further,

corporate meteorological support personnel can access EOF weather data.

Backup power to the onsite meteorological tower instrumentation is still

being evaluated by the licensee. The licensee has stated that the evalu-

ation and actions to enhance meteorological system reliability will be

completed by December 31, 1986.

Based on the provision for multiple backup sources of meteorological data,

one of which is considered to be representative of conditions in the

vicinity of tha site, and the licensee's commitment to resolve the onsite

meteorological system reliability by the end of the year, this item is

closed.

(Closed) IFI (85-32-21): Provide a method for notification of impending

severe weather to the control room.

An arrangement (document date of April 30,1986) through the Power Supply

Department, Public Service of New Hampshire provides for notification to

the Seabrook control room of impending severe weather. A supporting

procedure, New Hampshire Satellite Operating Procedure #21, " Operations

During Emergency Situations," issued in May 1986, provides instructions

i for notifying Seabrook of severe weather and other potentially severe

situations (e. g., bomb threat, CBR attack, natural phenomena). This

item is closed.

(Closed) IFI (86-18-01): Emergency Plan, Appendix A, does not specify

which responsibilities of ERO staff members may not be delegated.

! Site Emergency Director (decision to make recommendations on protective

l actions is specified in procedures, not in plan) and the Response Manager

l that may not be delegated, including the decision to notify offsite

l authorities and make protective action recommendations. The licensee

i committed to further revise Appendix A to the plan, by a future amendment

,

to the FSAR, to specify that the Site Emergency Director has the non-

l delegable responsibility to make protective action recommendations to

i offsite authorities. Based on the revisions to the plan and procedures

the ERO. This item is closed.

any protective action recommendations (PAR) to be made unless a General

Emergency has been declared.

Appendix A of the plan (Amendment 58 to the FSAR) and procedure ER-1.4

(Rev. 04, 6/3/86) now require a protective action recommendation during

a Site Area emergency, prior to the declaration of a General Emergency.

The Seabrook Station " required reading" arrangement on this procedure

(Closed)IFI(50-443/86-18-25):

Steps 18-20 of form 2.2B (contained in ERs-1.5 and 2.2) require use of

the HP-41 calculator to project dose at the site boundary, 2 miles, and 5

miles. This requirement cannot be met with the present HP-41 system and

software. (See paragraph D.1, item 85-32-14d).

The inspectors verified that revised Form 2.28, Revision 4 contained

spaces for the - following information; radioactive release rate data,

meteorological data, and off-site exposure data, including dose rates and

integrated doses at the site boundary, 2 miles, 5 miles, and 10 miles for

whole body, and thyroid.

The inspectors also verified that the revised HP-41 system and software

provides the capability to project doses at the site boundary, 2, 5 and

10 miles. Control room personnel have been trained in the use of initial

dose projection equipment and procedures.
