Finding

Title

Failure to establish a means to provide early notification and clear instruction to a portion of the populace within the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ), as required by the Vermont Yankee Emergency Plan.

Description

The inspector identified an apparent violation associated with emergency planning standard 10 CFR 50.47(b)(5) which has a low to moderate safety significance because the method of distributing tone alert radios to members of the public outside of siren coverage was not meeting the intent of the design basis for the alert and notification system. The finding is greater than minor because this impacts the EP cornerstone attribute of facilities and equipment and it affects the cornerstone objective of ensuring that the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. The status of this finding will be finalized pending review of any additional information submitted to the NRC in response to this report.
