General This inspection consisted of an examination of the licensee's pre-operational environmental protection program, including management controls, licensee internal audits, the CY-1979 results of the pre-operational radiological environmental monitoring program, the non-
.
'
radiological terrestrial monitoring program, and meteorological monitoring program. The inspector utilized the construction permit, the licensee's Environmental Report, and the staff's Final Environ-mental Statement as primary inspection criteria.
The inspector also discussed the status of emergency planning re-quirements based on guidance in NUREG-0654 with licensee personnel.
The status of licensee's emergency preparedness was reviewed, and arrangements made for coordination with offsite support agencies were discussed with licensee personnel. The licensee's existing proposed Emergency Plan, as amended, was examined.

Nuclear Utilities Services (NUS) for implementing the preoperational
.
radiological environmental monitoring program. The contractor for the terrestrial monitoring program is Texas Instruments (TI) and for the meteorological monitoring program is Camp, Dresser, and McKee (CDM). Program results of the three contracts are reviewed tor the coordinator and any unusual data or anomalous results are resolved.
The coordinator also serves on the audit committees to audit _ the quality control of contractual work.

.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
5.
Licensee Internal Audits The licensee conducted an internal audit of the licensee's radio-logical environmental monitoring contractor, NUS, on June 26, 1979, and found two findings and one observation. The inspector reviewed the audit report and determined that corrective action had been accomplished on one finding and observation, and initiated on the other finding. This second item will be examined during a future inspection.
The licensee had conducted two audits of the Fermi site meteoro-logical monitoring program in February 1980 and found nine dis-crepancies in one audit related to data processing and twelve dis-crepancies in the second audit related to operation of the 60-meter meteorological tower. The inspector determined that corrective
'
action had been taken on all items. However, in the second audit regarding the operation of the 60-meter meteorological tower, no dates were recorded as to then the corrective action had been taken.
This item was discussed at the exit interview and will be reviewed during a future inspection.
No items of nancompliance or deviations were identified.
6.
Implementation of the Preoperational Radiologicti Environmental Monitoring Program The licensee's radiological environmental monitoring program was initiated on-March 1978, and includes monitoring of direct radia-tion with thermoluminescent dosimeters, and the collection of sam-ples of fish, shoreline sediments, airborne particulates, surface and drinking water,.and milk. The inspector found that the li-
>
censee's program conforms to that described in Table 6.1-10 of the licensee's Environmental Report, Supplement 4, dated February 1978.
The inspector also reviewed the 1979 results of the program. No unusual trends or anomalous results were noted. The licensee pro-vided explanations of missing samples in the NUS quarterly, semi-annual, and aanual reports reviewed. The inspector noted during review of these reports and also deviation reports, that the li-censee has had difficulty in the operational performance of the

,
data for the second half of 1979. The inspector determined that the licensee's contractor has been attempting to resolve the problem to assure collection of one full year's preoperational data. This
' item will be examined during a subsequent inspection.
The inspector visited three air monitoring stations du 'v>,a tour of the site and observed that the samplers were improperif uriented with respect to the location of the plant. The air samplers were pointed away from the plant. This item was discussed with licensee represen-tatives at the exit interview. The inspector stated that the monitors should be properly oriented to obtain a representative plume exposure.
This item will be examined during a future inspection.
No apparent items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
6.
Terrestrial Monitoring Program The licensee utilizes colored infrared aerial photography in its remote sensing / ground truthing program to identify stressed vegeta-
'
tion. Texas Instruments, Inc. has conducted overflights and ground truthing surveys of flora in 1978 and 1979 within a five mile radius of the plant. The licensee identified several stressed areas, caused j
by natural effects such as flood, drought, wind, and insect damage.
'
No stress has been related to the plant construction except on the immediate sites. The inspector reviewed two annual reports issued by the licenree's contractor in 1979 and had no questions regarding the results. The inspecu,c also observed the stressed vegetation during a tour of the site. flood damage produced the greatest stress on vegetation, particularly on the lowland hardwood trees.
No apparent items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
7.
Meteorological Monitoring Program The licensee has been conducting a meteorological monitoring program from a 60-meter tower since 1973. This tower monitors wind speed and direction, dew point, and air temperature at the ten meter level,
,
and wind speed and direction and air temperature at the 60-meter level.
Precipitation was measured at ground level. The primary recording of data involves the use of a d Lital system with a tele-type printout and a computer-compatible paper tape. Strip chart recorders are also used to reduce the data. The licensee employs Camp, Dresser, and McKee as the contractor. This contractor has a technician who visits the meteorological tower at least three times a week and after storms to check operation of recorders and computers. The technician completes a check list to insure proper operation of the meteorological system. All sensors, electronics and recording equipment are calibrated every six months. Additional-4-e

5 onsite calibrations have been performed during service and mainte-
,
nance visits. The data output from the 60-meter tower meets the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.23.
No apparent items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
8.
Emergency Planning
.
The inspection included discussion of the needs and requirements of emergency planning and preparedness with licensee personnel in ac-cordance with guidance and criteria in NUREG-0654. The licensee's existing proposed Emergency Plan presented as Appendix 13A to the FSAR is under review and will be revised in accordance with the new NRC requirements. This item will be examined during a subsequent inspection.
a.
Agreement and Coordination with Offsite Support Agencies The inspector reviewed 13 letters of agreement, the majority of which were dated in March 1979. The licensee stated that these letters will be updated prior to issuance of the fuel load operating license. The inspector discussed the importance of maintaining close coordination with offsite support agencies including providing an annual training program for representa-tives from the various support agencies.
The inspector visited with the Monroe City County Office of Civil Preparedness to discuss various plans to update the Mon-roe County Emergency Plan.
The Office of Civil Preparedness has hired a consultant to rewrite and update this County Emer-gency Plan. The Co inty Board has a number of task groups re-sponsible in preparing individual sections of the revised Emer-gency Plan. This County Plan will also be submitted to the State of Michigan for their approval and eventually to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the NRC as part of the State of Michigan's Emergency Plan. This item will be reviewed during a subsequent inspection.
b.
Facilities and Equipment The inspector discussed with licensee representatives the pro-posed contents of licensee's emergency kits and the first aid and decontamination area. The inspector observed during a tour of the plant that the licensee has not yet equipped these areas.
The licensee has a company policy to provide a nurse on duty at least 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> per week. The licensee was informed that the emergency facilities, supplies, and kits should be inventoried on a regular schedule. The inspector stated that the effluent monitors, survey instrumentation, and other emergency equipment-5-
.
.
will be inspected for their operability and calibration.
In-
.,
spections will include examination of the licensee's technical support and operational support centers. Availability of various decisional aids will also be inspected. The inspector also observed the location of the readout of the effluent monitors and the meteorological tower during a tour of the control room.
These items are not yet in operation and will be examined dur-
-
ing a subsequent inspection.
_
c.
Medical Arrangements The licensee has arranged to have Seaway Hospital as the prin-cipal support hospital with the University Hospital serving as backup. The licensee's contractor, Radiation Management Corporation (RMC), provides medical training to hospital per-sonnel relative to handling radioactively contaminated injured persons. RMC will work with the hospitals to provide medical
support during radiation accidents.
RMC has provided training to physicians on the primary hospital staff in the treatment of radiation accident victims.
In addition, the licensee has phy-sicians on the corporate staff who are trained in such treatment.
i The licensee is planning to maintain a special area in the hos-pital for handling radiation victims. The licensee is to maintain an inventory of emergency supplies for treatment of contaminated
,
victims in the hospital. However, the hospital has no radiation l
detection equipment. The licensee plans to take all needed equipment to the hospital with the patient. The desirability of having survey equipment at the hospital was discussed with li-censee representatives.
RMC is to arrange for an annual medical drill using a simulated accident victim. A critique of the drill will be ccnducted with the plant staff and hospital staff. The licensee has an ambu-lance onsite with' Emergency Medically Trained personnel avail-able.
In addicion, the licensee has made arrangements with the Navarre-donroe County Ambulance Service. Navarre has at least one ambulance on call and duty at all times in the city of Flat Rock, and three available at the main Monroe facility.
'
d.
Training The licensee has committed to training plant personnel in the details of ~ the site Emergency Plan and to provide information on evacuations to non-licensee personnel. The_ licensee will also provide specialized training to licensee personnel assigned to specialized emergency tasks in which they may become involved.
The licensee plans to provide training to offsite support agency representatives, such as the local firemen and to

n ambulance crews, hospital staff, and the Sheriff's Department.
,
The licensee should keep documentation of training both for i
onsite and offsite personnel. Except for the medical train-ing, the emergency training program has not b?en started.
This item will be reviewed during a subsequent inspection.
.
Emergency Plans Implementing Procedures (EPIPs)
.
-e.
The licensee plane to develop EPIPs once the Emergency Plan is revised. The EPIPs will be reviewed by NRC as they are developed.
f.
Tests and Drills The inspector discussed tests and drills the licensee plans to conduct to test his Emergency Plan. The licensee plans to have annual medical, fire fighting, and evacuation drills.
The licensee will prepare a scenario prior to the drill and test the timing and adequacy of the content of the Emergency Plan and EPIPs. The inspector stated that NRC will send ob-servers to a drill prior to issuance of the fuel load license, and that the drill should demonstrate the workability of all facets of the Emergency Plan and EPIPs.
No apparent items of noncompliance or deviations were identi-fied; however, because of the limited activities conducted to date the entire emergency planning program needs to be reviewed and examined prior to issuance of the fuel load license. This was discussed at the exit interview.
,
9.
Confirmatory Measurements Inspr.ction Program The inspector discussed the confirmatory measurements inspection program with licensee representatives and informed the licensee that spiked particulate air filters, charcoal adsorbers, liquid
.and gas samples will be provided to the licensee to determine the radioactive content of the samples and to test the analytical cap-ability of the licensee. The quality assurance and quality control of the nonradiological and radiological analytical laboratory pro-gram, including laboratory procedures, will also be reviewed prior to issuance of the fuel load license.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
