Environmental Monitoring The inspector examined the licensee's environmental monitoring activ-ities, environmental program results, and management controls of the Environmental Program. The licensee's Environmental Program results were examined from January 1979 to June 1980. The licensee's environ-inspectionreport.yogramremainsthesameasdescribedinaprevious mental monitoring The inspector examined the results of the licensee's film monitoring program, as well as the results for the licensee's voluntary environ-mental monitoring program. No unexplained trends were noticed in the licensee's film and TLD monitoring program. The licensee also samples milk, lake and well water, algae, fish, and periphyton. The inspector reviewed monthly reports of the results from the licensee's contractor, Eberline Instrument Company, and observed no unusual trends. The licen-see's air sampling stations were also visited. All equipment examined
appeared operable and was calibrated on the proper frequency.
No apparent items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
3.
Emergency Planning The inspector examined the licensee's management controls, delegation of responsibilities and authorities, and administration of emergency planning and preparedness. The plant health physicist is responsible for the licensee's emergency planning activities and coordination.

a.
Drills The inspector determined that the licensee conducted emergency plan drills during 1979 and 1930 as required in the Emergency Plan. Documentation of the drills held in 1979 and on June 10, 1980, was examined..No major problems were noted during these thepreviousinspectionreport,psponsetoitemsdiscussedin drills.
It was noted that, in critiques of the drill con-ducted in 1980 were included in the documentation of the drill and the drills were conducted on the required annual frequency.
The inspector has no further questions concerning these items.
The inspector observed selected parts of an emergency exercise conducted on June 24, 1980, by plant personnel and state and 3ncal agency personnel. This exercise was also observed by the Federal Regional Advisory Committee as part of its review of the State (Michigan) plan. The inspector accompanied an environmental moni-toring team dispatched from the plant. The team proceeded to the Charlevoix County Sheriff's building to pick up the emergency environmental monitoring kits stored there, and then drove to a location determined by Control Room personnel to take air samples.
Members of the survey team were quite familiar with the monitoring procedure and necessary calculations. No problems were observed with the sample collection; however, a need for more extensive coordination with the Sheriff's Office with regard to access con-trol was apparent. This problem was discussed with licensee per-sonnel, who stated that they would contact the sheriff and resc1ve the problem. The inspector also noted equipment which would be useful if added to the monitoring kits. This equipment included a stop watch, a calculator, and a pocket dosimeter. The licensee acknowledged the inspector's suggestions. These items will be examined in a future inspection.
No apparent items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
b.
Facilities and Equipment Emergency equipment contained in kits located in the machine shop, service building annex, and control room was examined.
.All items were noted to be present and in operable condition.
Survey instrumentation contained in these kits was calibrated as required on a semiannual basis. Records of monthly inven-
=
-tory checks of these kits were also examined from January 1979 tothepresgt.
In response to an item noted in the previous inspection,- the portable air sampler located in the service building annex >was examined and found to be present in the kit.
The inspector has no further questions concerning this item.
j No apparent items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

Training Extensive training in the new Emergency Plan and Procedures has been conducted during 1980 for all employees. Special training sessions in the implementing procedures were also held for chem-istry and radiation protection technicians.
In 1979, the annual retraining in the Emergency Plan consisted of an open book ex-amination. During 1980, all employees received training rela-tive to their responsibilities during an emergency.
In addition, training in first aid (multi-media) and fire fighting is given to certain involved employees. Emergency Plan training during 1980 was provided by the licensee's consultant, General Physics.
The inspector examined lesson plans and content and determined that the training was adequate. Employee records of training were also examined during 1979 and 1980.
No apparent items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
d.
Coordination With Offsite Agencies Coordination with offsite support agencies was discussed with the licensee. These agencies were not visited because they participated in the drill conducted on June 24, 1980, or in the drill conducted June 10, 1980. These support agency personnel are trained by a licensee contractor and by a member of the li-censee's corporate staff. Training documentation was examined for 1980. The training appeared to be adequate; coordination with the support groups appeared adequate.
The inspector identified no apparent items of noncompliance or deviations.
4.
Exit Interview The inspector met with licensee representatives denoted in Paragraph I at the conclusion of the inspection on June 27, 1980. The inspector summarized the purpose and scope of the inspection and its findings.
The licensee stated that the Charlevoix County Sheriff's office would be contacted in response to an item noted during the drill conducted June 24.
The licensee also acknowledged the inspector's comments about equipment recommended to be placed in the emergency monitoring kits located in the Charlevoix County Sheriff's office building.
