Status of Previously Reported Unresolved Items
-
Thefollowingitegywereidentifiedinapreviousemergencyplanning inspection report-- as requiring resolution.
Each of these items
-
,
were reviewed during the course of this inspection and current status is described below:
1.
Updating of Emergency Telephone Listings The licensee responded to this particular item by issuing individual revisions of pertinent sections of the DSEP.
(A-1 through A-9)
during the period from February to July 1974.
However, further revision of certain sections of the telephone listings are currently required due to changes occurring in both onsite and offsite emergency response organizations.
2.,
Specification of Frequency a.
Conduct of emergency drills,
,
b.
Conduct of emergency training and retraining.
c.
Review and update of the emergency plan and associated
_
emergency procedures.
(1)
Specifications for the conduct of emergency drills as described in the current DSEP Section 8.2 entitled Emergency Exercises, does not provide a definite j
frequency for the conduct of such exercises.
However,-
a review of a surveillance checkoff list and the GSEP drill files provided documentation of the conduct of such exercises on a quarterly basis.
According to
l licensee reprecentatives the proposed revised GSEP l
and DSEP, scheduled for implementation in April 1975, reportedly will specify a definite period for the conduct of emeitgency exercises.
Therefore, this item will remain open and be reviewed in a subsequent inspection.
(2) The specification of a definite frequency for the conduct of emergency plan training and retraining
,
'
does not exist in the current DSEP.
A review of the GSEP - DSEP training, and retraining records 1/

.
indicates that training of onsite emergency response personnel is being accomplished.
However, there
,
are no procedures available specifying the frequency for training and retraining of both on and offsite
emergency response personnel. According to licensee representatives the proposed revision of the GSEP-DSEP which is scheduled for implementation in April 1975
,
reportedly will make provision for appropriate emergency plan training of both onsite and offsite groups at a specified frequency.
Therefore, this item will remain'
open and be reviewed in.a subsequent inspection.
(3) The specification of frequency for review and update of the emergency plan and implementing procedures as described in Section 8.3 of the DSEP entitled " Periodic Review" and Section 13.1 of the GSEP also entitled
" Periodic Review" remains unchanged since the previous inspection. However, provision has been made for the placement of the DSEP review on facility's computerized surveillance checkoff list with the first annual DSEP review being scheduled for January 1975. The revision and/or update of twelve individual portions of the
'
DSEP and Appendices have been accomplished since the last inspection. However, no documentation was avail-able to substantiate that complete review of either document (DSEP or GSEP) had been conducted. According
-
to information obtained from the licensee's representa-tives, the proposed revision of the GSEP-DSEP scheduled for implementation in April 1975 should be responsive to this item.
Therefore, it will remain open and be reviewed during a subsequent inspection.
3.
Provision for Expediting Approval and Distribution of New and Revised Portions of the Emergency Plan and Implementing Procedures No documentation was available which would substantiate the development of a procedure which would accommodate this provision.
However, information available on provisions for the expeditious handling of revisions of the emergency plan will be contained in the revised GSEP-DSEP which is planned for implementation in April 1975.
Therefore, this item will remain open and be reviewed in a subsequent inspection.
4.
Development and Implementation of an Approved Emergency Procedure for Coping with A Bomb Threat (
- ^
i Reference has been made in Section 5.3.3 of the DSEP to the facility bomb threat procedure.
The revision date of the DSEP is February 27, 1974.
The above action is considered to be l
responsive to this item.

'
DSEP scheduled for implementation in April 1975 will take into consideration the EPA's Interim Protective Action Levels for offs?'n protective measures.
Therefore, this item will remain open and will be reviewed during a subsequent inspection.
Management Interview A management interview was conducted with Messrs. Stephenson, Adam, CrandaB and Stone at the conclusion of the inspection on January 14, 1975.
The inspectors discussed the scope of the inspection (Paragraph 2) and summari cd these items requiring additional resolution (Paragraphs 4, 6.a.,

3.
Agreements and Coordination
~
Letters of agreement from ten of the offsite support agencies listed in the DSEP were reviewed and all were dated in October 1974.
No letter of agreement was on file from the ambulance service intended for use in emergencies. However, the manager of ambulance service a
when contacted by the inspectors indicated his intention to supply
,
a letter of agreement to the licensee.
No letter of agreement from
'
j the Illinois Department of Public Health Bureau of Environmental i
Health, Division of Radiological Health was available for review at the time of this inspection.
However, the licensee indicated that a letter of agreement had been received from that organization.
Representatives of the offsite supporting agencies listed in the
,
!
DSEP which were contacted during this inspection cere, in general,
_
aware of the roles they had committed to in the letters of agreement.
The value of exchanging and maintaining up to date procedures pertinent to specific offsite emergency support agencies was discussed with the licenseek representatives.

5.
Means for Monitoring Release of Radioactivity
'
a.
Radioactivity Monitors The Reactor Building Vent Monitor, Stack Gas Monitor, Service Water Monitor and Radwaste Monitor instrumentation, calibration schedules and procedures, and documentations were reviewed.
The instrumentation was functioning properly.
Calibration is performed on a prescribed frequency and in accordance with procedures, each of which has a revision number and date.
Documentation of calibrations performed are in check list format and entered on the procedure sheet (s) used, along with
,
the date completed and the signature of the person completing
,
the calibration.
b.
Meteorological System The weekly equipment check, bimonthly tower check and monthly
~
reports cubmitted by an independent company under contract to the Dresden Station were reviewed.
The inspector had no further questions regarding these records.
The licensee representatives stated that meteorological data would be obtained during an incident situation by sending an individual to the meteorological tower.
He also stated that this could be accomplished in five minutes.
6.
Medical Arrangements a.
Onsite Medical Facilities The onsite medical facility was found to contain those items lir.ed in Appendix D of the DSEP.
It was determined that no provision exists which requires inspection of the first aid facility at specified intervals against a listing of specific first aid and medical materials to ensure a minimum availability of essential supplies.
The licensee representative indicated immediate action would be taken to assure that first aid supplies in the onsite facility would be procured and maintained.

b.
Personnel Decontamination Area
.
The personnel decontamination area is located as indicated in j
Appendix D to the DSEP.
However, the particular area, at the time of this inspection, was directly involved in the construction
,
'
activities associated witi. Access Building modifications.
I Except for a supply of soaps, dete'rgents, and towels, the
!
equipment and materials available in the personnel decontamination area were as indicated in item 4.a - j. of Appendix D to the DSEP.
!.
There was no procedure available for review which would provide for inspection of the personnel decontamination area at a
,
specified frequency against the inventory listed in Appendix D
,
of the DSEP.
The importance of maintaining the decontamination j
-
area, equipment and supplies as a ready resource for emergency response was discussed with the licensee, i
"
i The licensee's management representative agreed to develop and
'
implement by April 1, 1975, a procedure which would provide for insaection of the personnel decontamination area at the I
specified periods and to document the results of such inspections
.
!
in an auditabic format.
,
c.
Offsite Medical Arrangements
,
'
,
Discussions with the emergency coordinator for St. Joseph's
!
Hospital in Joliet, Illinois, the licensee's designated i
i primary offsite medical facility, revealed that contact has i
been mcintained between the licensee and.the hospital.
Inspection of emergency equipment and supplies set aside at i
the hospital by the licensee indicated effort had been expended i
i to maintain-the contents in a ready to use condition. A copy of the procedure followed by the hospital in the event of
<
receipt of an accident victim contaminated with radioactive material appears as Appendix F to the DSEP.
Expansion of the emergency reception and treatment facilities
of the hospital, currently in progress, prevents the use of the ambulance garage referred to in Appendix F of the DSEP.
,
However, an alternate reception area has been provided.
The location of the treatment and decontamination area at the
]
hospital will remain unchanged until the expanded facilities are available.
The licensee's representatives and operator of the ambulance service contacted were aware of the current temporary l
reception facilities at the hospital.

According to representatives of both the hospital and the
,
licensee, training of hospital emergency response personnel pertaining to the GSEP and DSEP was planned for fall of 1974,
-
but was not conducted.
Such training is being rescheduled in accord with the licensee's current planning designed to upgrade
,
the total emergency medical response capability.
Two of three medical doctors, who have agreed to provide medical support for the licensee's emergency plan and who are listed in a letter from the licensee's Medical Director to Director of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's, Region III, Office were contacted by phone during this inspection.
One of the two doctors contacted indicated he had attended a seminar on r'te topic of radiat.; n tecident management which was presented at Northwestern Memorial Hospital are January 11, 1974.
Information provided by the licensee's Medical Director indicates that a tertiary care facility has been established at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago.
Copies of the GSEP and DSEP avail-able for review did not contain a reference to the availability
"
of this facility.
The importance of maintaining reference to currently designated long term or tertiary medical treatment facilities was discussed with the licensee representatives.
_
7.
Training a.
Onsite Documentation of the GSEP-DSEP training being provided all station personnel was revicued during this inspection.
The Dresden Station Training Program (DSTP) pertaining to emergency preparedness which is initially provided all employees and according to current practice reviewed annually contains instruction and information in the following subject areas:
respiratory protection; radiation protection; evacuation signals, routes, assembly areas and personnel accountability.
Based on discussions with the licensee's training personnel and review of training records it would appear that the training requirements outlined in Section 8.1 of the DSEP are being met.
However, documentation of the GSEP-DSEP training is currently maintained in the format of a personnel list. Upon completion of emergency preparedness training by

Offsite l
The status of training and retraining of offsite emergency support agencies was discussed with representatives of the
l licensee and also with certain offsite agencies.
With the
'
exception of the training provided certain medical doctors.
(See Paragraph 6.c) and a limited number of communication checks with a few offsite support groups during the i
conduct of onsite emergency exercises no documentation was available to substantiate the conduct of offsite emergency
,
response training since the fall of 1973.
The importance of conducting and documenting training and i
retraining of offsite emergency support groups at specified
,
,
intervals, in those subjects necessary for them to function as l
a part of the, total response team in the event of an accident was discussed with licensee's management.
8.
Impicmenting Procedures
-
At the time of this inspection no single collection of all emergency plan implementing procedures was available for review. However, procedures designate! to implement essential aspects of the emergency plan have been provided in various documents and formats in other procedure manuals.
Others are contained in the body and/or
as Appendices of the GSEP and DSEP.
A review of certain appendices to the DSEP and other procedures designed to implement the emergency plan revealed apparent incon-sistencies.
The apparent inconsistencies appeared to be the result of:
(1) maintenance of emergency plan implementing procedurcs in separate documents; (2) the use of various formats'in the preparation of procedures designed to implement particular portions of the emergency plan, (3) incomplete coordination with certain offsite support groups and (4) incomplete review and update at a specified frequency.
.The above inconsistencies were discussed with the licensee repre-sentatives who indicated that a complete revision of the GSEP -

DSEP concept is currently in progress. The new (revised) GSEP - DSEP are scheduled for implementation in April 1975. According to the
_
licensee, the implementation should correct the inconsistencies noted.
The importance of taking timely positive action in develop-
-
. ment of emergency planning implementing procedures in certain areas was discussed with the licensee's management.
,
9.
Drills and Tests The drill file which contained the critiques of drills which had been conducted since November 21, 1973,_ vas reviewed.
The critiques listed recommendations based on deficiencies noted during, and/or as the result of the drills.
When questioned regarding the disposition of the recommendations, the licensee representative stated some were complied with immediately and others are entered into an Action Tracking System (ATS). ATS items are not removed from this system until they are completed.
The licensee representative stated that alarm tests are performed in conjunction with a local evacuation to the assembly areas.
An emergency siren test procedure was produced which contained a
"date and a subsequent review date.
10.
Review and Update of the Emergency Plan Although evidence of revision and update of several individual sections
-
of the DSEP was available for review, no documentation was available which vould substantiate that a complete review of the DGEP had been accomplished since Octobcr 16, 1972. The annual review of the DSEP has been placed on the facility's computerized surveillance checkoff list with the first annual review being scheduled for January 1975.
No documentation was available at the site to substantiate that a compl..te review of the GSEP had been accomplished since its publi-cation date of Iby 1, 1972. However, discussions with licensee representatives revealed the GSEP and DSEP revisions have been underway and current plans call for the implementation of revised documents in April of 1975.
