| Title | Changes to ERO ON-SHIFT and Augmentation Staffing Levels and Position Titles |
| Description | The inspectors reviewed changes to the Clinton Power Station Emergency Plan Annex and the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan on-shift ERO minimum staffing and augmentation requirements. In 1998, the licensee increased the minimum on-shift ERO staffing from 10 to 15 positions. Between 1998 and 2008, changes to position titles or expertise may have decreased the capabilities of several specific functions. In response to problems identified during a declared Alert on February 13, 1998, the licensee added five positions to its ten required on-shift ERO staffing positions, removed the eleven 30-minute ERO augmentation positions, and added six positions to the seventeen 60-minute ERO augmentation positions. The inspectors identified that several position titles had also changed since 1998. Specifically, in 1998 four radiation protection technicians were identified in ERO positions. Two of the four technicians were to provide on-shift radiological accident assessment and operational accident assessment support, including in-plant surveys during a radiological emergency. The other two technicians were designated to provide protective actions during an emergency including access control, health physics coverage for repair, corrective actions, search and rescue, first aid, and firefighting, as well as personnel monitoring and dosimetry. The current revision of Clinton emergency plan annex, Section 2.1, On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Assignments, Table B-1, Minimum Staffing Requirements for the On-Shift Clinton Station ERO, has replaced two of the radiation protection technician positions with non-licensed operators. Additional information has been requested of the licensee regarding specific position titles, functions, and additional revisions of the emergency plan minimum staffing requirements. The licensee entered this issue into its corrective action program as Issue Report 00752769. Pending further review of this issue by NRC staff to determine whether changes to position titles, functions, and responsibilities decreased the effectiveness of the emergency plan, this issue is being considered as an Unresolved Item (URI 05000461/2008002-05) |
