Title | Failure of Offsite Notification Procedure to Meet the Requirements of the Site Emergency Plan |
Description | The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.54, Conditions of Licenses, paragraph (q), because the Entergy emergency plan implementing procedure (EPIP) for notification of offsite officials did not meet the requirements of the IPEC Emergency Plan. This EPIP had contained a deficiency in the backup process for offsite notification since July 2006. Entergy personnel responded by documenting the deficiency in CR-lP2-2010-07563 and by initiating a procedure change to align the backup process with the Emergency Plan commitments. This finding is more than minor because it affected the Emergency Response Organization attribute of the EP cornerstone to ensure that the Entergy personnel are capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the public health and safety in the event of a radiological emergency. Entergy procedures allowed for a back-up notification process that did not comply with the requirements of the site emergency plan: the Emergency Plan requires that the Shift Manager or his designee notify the offsite authorities of an emergency declaration, while Form EP-4 directed the delegation of this responsibility to an offsite authority itself. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 0609, Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process, the inspectors determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green). Using IMC 0609, Appendix B, Section 4.5 and Sheet l, Failure to Comply, the inspectors determined that the failure to comply with an aspect of the Emergency Plan related to event notification (10 CFR 50.47(b)(5)) was a RSPS problem. lt was not a RSPS functional failure of the IPEC event notification process, because the deficiency in the IPEC EPIP was in the backup method for offsite notification, and despite the proceduralflaw offsite notifications were made in a timely and accurate manner on November 7,2010. The inspectors determined there was no cross-cutting aspect associated with this finding because the performance deficiency did not reflect Entergy\'s current performance. Specifically, the performance deficiency associated with a procedure change made in July 2006 occurred more than three years ago and was outside the current assessment period. |
