n ITEM 125.I.8: PROCEDURES AND STAFFING FOR REPORTING TO NRC EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTER 1

DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue arose out of the Davis-Besse incident of June 9, 1985940 and j is based upon Finding 12 of the Incident Investigation Team's reportsse which states: j "The event was not reported to the NRC Operations Center in a manner reflecting the safety significance of the event. The more )'

serious the event, the more operator ir.volvement required to maintain plant safety. For example, if the June 9 event had been protracted, knowledgeable personnel would not have been available to maintain an open telephone line with the NRC."

Safety Significance It is evident from the Incident Investigation Team's reportsse of the event that there were two problems: one associated with staffing and one 1 associated with procedures. The staffing problem was that all knowledge- l able personnel were kept busy in dealing with the event. No one could be  !

p spared to keep the NRC Operations Center informed. Moreover, even if j more plant staff had been available, it is*likely that these additional j persons would have been pressed into service for plant operations. Of .

course, bringing the plant to a safe condition does and should have ,$ M ,

priority. But this also calls into question the usefulness of the h g /Aa,h A.p# L dedicated phone lines to the NRC Operations Center. < j l

The procedural problem was evident in the fact that there was confusion l because the emergency plan was silent on how to determine the emergency action level if the emergency classification changed during the event.

Obviously, the emergency procedures contained some ambiguity.

For both problems, the result is a delay in notification of the NRC An A c.

Operations Center. Although it can be argued that notification of the J u y NRC can have_ little or no effect on plant events in _the_shar.t_terj!1rtfie  !

NRC can provide technical support and assistance over a period of _i several hours. Moreover, ple_NRC can assist in coordinating evacu_a- ,I tions, etc., if such should ever prove necessary. Finally, the NRC has  !!

other responsibilities not directly related to plant safety but never- .i theless of importance, such as providing accurate and timely information 'i to the public,'other government agencies, and the governments of other l nations. l

PRIORITY DETERMINATION O The starrias arab'e= is a o"9'icatioa' ' of the coacera or '"2 ^ctioa Plan 48 Item III.A.3.4, " Nuclear Data Link." In addition, the procedural.

problem has already been addressed in existing regulatory requirements (10 CFR 50.72) and IE Information Notice No. 85-80. Furthermore, the IE ,

~

Manual acidresses the NRC regional responsibility for assuring that these reporting requirements are met.1o03 CONCLUSION This issue consists of two problems: the first~is a duplication of TMI 3 Action Plan *8 Item III.A.3.4 (which has been resolved) and the second has been resolved independently.2003 Therefore, this issue should be DROPPED .,

from further consideration as a new and separate-issue.

THE ERDS REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS HAS JUST RECENTLY BEEN CONCLUDED O

l BY THE CONTRACTOR. THE REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS CONSISTED OF VISITS TO THE LICENSEES BY NRC STAFF TO REFLECT AGENCY POLICY, AND BY CONTRACTOR STAFF TO DETERMINE THE DESIGN OF THE DATA SYSTEMS ON 4 SITE AND THE AVAILABILITY OF THE DATA TO BE PROVIDED TO THE NRC.  !

THE REPORT ON THE SURVEY WAS SUBMITTED IN MARCH 1987. SOME ITEMS NOTED DURING THE SURVEY INCLUDE: )

THE AVERAGE AVAILABILITY OF POINTS FOR APPLICABLE PARAMETERS AT PWRS SURVEYED IS 92.6%. OF NOTE IS THE FACT THAT ELEVEN  !

PWRS HAD 100% AVAILABILITY, THE AVERAGE AVAILABILITY OF POINTS FOR APPLICABLE PARAMETERS AT BWRG SURVEYED IS 78.7%. NO BWRS HAD 100% OF THE APPLICABLE PARAMETERS AVAILABLE AS TRANSMITTABLE COMPUTER POINTS.

APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 10% OF LICENSEE SYSTEMS ARE RUNNING AT CLOSE TO 100% PROCESSING CAPACITY NOW IN THE POST TRIP OR INCIDENT O ENVIRONMENT.

APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 15% OF THE LICENSEE SYSTEMS ARE HARDWARE LIMITED (E.G., NO AVAILABLE OUTPUT PORT FOR AN ERDS CONNECTION).

- BASED UPON SURVEY-COLLECTED DATA, 33% OF THE POINTS SELECTED UNDERGO SOME TYPE OF SOPHISTICATED VALIDATION CHECKING (E.G., DIVERGENCE CHECKS BETWEEN COMPANION POINTS, STANDARD DEVIATION CHECKS, RATE OF CHANGE LIMITS, ETC.). 58% OF THE POINTS SELECTED UNDERGO ONLY A SIMPLE RANGE CHECK (USUALLY TO DETERMINE IF THE ANALOG INPUT SIGNAL FALLS WITHIN THE MAXIMUM / MINIMUM OUTPUT RANGE OF THE INSTRUMENTS LOOP DETECTOR).

THE REMAINING 9% OF THE POINTS HAVE NO VALIDATION OR RANGE-CHECKING APPLIED.

O m

l THE CONTRACTOR THEN DEVELOPED A CONCEPTUAL SYSTEM DESIGN POR RECEP-() TION, STORAGE, AND DISPLAY OF THE DATA AND SUBMITTED THE ERDS i

REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS REPORT IN APRIL 1987. THE PROCESS OF SELECTING A CONTRACTOR FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ERDS SYSTEM HAS BEGUN, WITH  ;

AWARD EXPECTED NEAR THE END OF FY 1987. PRIORITIZATION OF THE PLANTS TO BE IMPLEMENTED IS TO BE DECIDED BASED ON THE EASE OF IMPLEMENTATION, COST, COOPERATIVENESS OF LICENSEE, AND OPERATIONAL HISTORY OF THE FACILITY. ONLY LIMITED PLANT CONNECTIONS ARE EXPECTED THE FIRST YEAR DUE TO HIGH INITIAL COSTS FOR THE PROCESSING HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE AT HEADQUARTERS. HOWEVER, COMPLETION OF THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED IN 5 YEARS.

t'[ P EMERGENCY RESPONSE DATA SYSTEM (ERDS)

,O ERDS Concept: (Unchanged)

The Emergency Response Data System concept is a direct electronic data line to the electronic data systems of nuclear power facilities for use l only during emergencies at the facilities. The data to be transmitted would be a limited set most likely available on the existing data f computers at the sites. NRC would accept the data in a transmission format and at an update frequency convenient to the licensee and the licensee

\

would control activation of the system.

Status of Implementation:

O The ERDS Requirements Analysis has just recently been concluded by the

]

contractor. The requirements analysis consisted of visits to the licensees by NRC staff to reflect agency policy, and by contractor staff to determine the design of the data systems on site and the availability of the data to be provided to the NRC. The report on the survey was submitted in March 1987. The contractor then developed a system design for i reception, storage, and display of the data and submitted the ERDS Requirement Analysis Report in April 1987. The process of selecting a contractor for implementation of the ERDS system has begun, with award expected near the end of FY 1987. Prioritization of the plants to be implemented is to be decided based on Ease of implementation / cost, cooperativeness of licensee, and operational history of the facility. Only limited plant connections are expected the first year due to high initial costs for the processing hardware and software at Headquarters. However, completion of the system is expected in five years.

4 Oy June 4, 1982 Representative Udall sent a letter requesting deferral of NRC action to issue an RFP for an NDL prototype evaluation until after FY 1982-83 authorization action was complete.

Authorization (FY 1982-83):

- P.L.97-415 limited NDL funding to $P00,000 for prototype evaluation and analysis of NDL related issues and required NRC to report to Congress at least 60 days prior to any implementation of NDL.

- Conference Report (H.R. 2330) specifically does not restrict the use of FY 1981 carryover funds for NDL prototype activities, except where reprogramming requirements apply.

April 7,1983 NRC submits report to Congress on the issues identified in l H.R.97-177 and advises Congress that NRC is about to issue an RFP for aa NDL prototype evaluation.

i May 13, 1983 Senator Simpson sent a letter urging NRC to move forward with j the issuance of its RFP to fulfill requirements of P.L.97-415. I FY 83 Pay Raise Supplemental:

h March 17,1987 o r William N. Stasiuk, P.E., Ph.D Director, center for Environmental Health New York State Department of Health 404 Tower Building - Empire State Plaza Albany, New York 12237

Dear Dr. Stasiuk:

This letter responds to your questions raised at the January 16, 1987 meeting held in Bethesda, Maryland with NRC staff and other State representatives on the Emergency Response Data System (ERDS). I have enclosed for your information the implementation status of the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) for New York's nuclear power plants. Please feel free to call upon the designated Project Manager for updates on implementation schedules.

Also, as discussed in the January 16 meeting, our contractor's assessment of current utility systems to support the EROS at each reactor is still ongoing and will be provided to you upon its completion.

During the meeting, State representatives expressed interest in routinely receiving our daily status reports. Upon checking into this matter we find that limitations in our computer system and other resources do not permit us to meet this additional request. We will, however, continue to send New York State copies of inspection reports, enforcement correspondence, confirmatory action letters, and other documents under our exchange-of-information program.

Sincerely, Driginal ~ signed Sy Tho:n E. !!urley Thomas E. Murley Regional Administrator
