(Closed) Open Item 88-07-03, Examine the licensee's corrective action regarding a violation for failing to conduct an annual audit of the emergency preparedness program in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(t). This item was examined and the licensee has developed Administrative Procedure QAP Number N18.01, "Planning and Scheduling of Audits", to provide clear direction for planning, developing, and scheduling of audits involved with the Southern California Edison (SCE) Audit Program. The licensee has also developed a Master Audit Schedule for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station to identify required audits and to insure their completion. SCE Audit Reports SCES-054-87 and SCES-034-88 were observed by the inspector and determined to meet the requirements in 10 CFR 50.54(t). These two audits will be discussed further in Section 3 of this report. This item is considered close (Closed) Open Item 88-07-01, revise procedures and train personnel on NRC notification requirements. This item was examined and S0123-VIII-10 and SO123-VIII-30.1 were observed to have been revised to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.7 The above changes were also stated to have been addressed in training. This item is considered close. Operational Status of the Emergency Preparedness Program (82701) Licensee Audits This area was examined to determine whether the licensee has an adequate program to provide for an annual audit of the emergency preparedness program in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(t) and Section 8.2 of the Emergency Pla SCE Audit SCES-054-87 was started December 10, 1987, and completed April 12, 1988. The audit was intended to address the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(t) for 1987. However, due to rescheduling of Quality Assurance activities, the audit was not completed until
April 1988. The failure to complete the 1987 audit in a timely manner was identified in NRC Inspection Report 50-206/88-07. Since that time, the licensee has made some changes to the Quality Assurance Organization and established guidelines for the planning and scheduling of required audits to insure they are completed as required. This subject is also addressed in the closure to Open Item No. 88-07-03 discussed at the beginning of this repor SCE Audit SCES-034-88, performed during the period from August 30, 1988 through October 19, 1988, was conducted to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(t) and provide for an annual review of the emergency preparedness program for 198 The inspector examined SCE Audit Reports SCES-054-87 and SCES-034-87 and determined they met the requirements contained in 10 CFR 50.54(t). The two audits were found to be of sufficient scope and detail to provide management with an accurate assessment of the emergency preparedness program. Four deficiencies were identified which resulted in the issuance of four corrective action requests (CARs). This brings these matters to management's attention. Three of the CARs addressed needed improvements to the EOF emergency kits, the administrative procedures for changes to the Emergency Plan and the Emergency Support Organization Manual, and the documentation of quarterly fire drills. The corrective actions on these three items were examined and appeared complete. Corrective action CAR N SO-P-1181, which involved primarily procedural deficiencies regarding the emergency tool kits, the program for inspection and maintenance of the Thunderbolt Sirens, and the Public Address System tests, was incomplete at the time of this inspection. Licensee action on CAR SO-P-1181 will be examined at a later date when the action is complet The portion of the audit that dealt with the interface between state and local agencies was made available to those agencies through the Interjurisdictional Planning Committee (IPC).
State and local agencies participate in the IPC meetings. Letters dated May 19, 1988 and January 23, 1989 transmitted copies of the SCE audit reports to the IP An examination of the IPC minutes confirmed these letters were discusse The auditors for the two audits mentioned above appeared well qualified and were noted to be independent of the implementation of the emergency preparedness progra Licensee performance in this program area indicates improvements to the licensee's program for evaluating the emergency preparedness program. No violations were identifie b. Changes to the Emergency Preparedness Program Numerous changes involving emergency preparedness are planned or have occurred during the last year. The following represent some changes which were discussed with emergency preparedness staff during this inspectio. Station EP now under Operation. New Management for Nuclear Affairs and Emergency Plannin. NA&EP moving into the offices located in the EO.
Plans to move the Headquarters Support Center from Rosemead to Irvin.
Plans to move the Alternate EOF to Irvin. Changes to the Quality Assurance Organizatio. Scheduling of changes to improve the functionality of the Unit 1 OS.
Disaster Recovery Plan development to address areas not covered in the Emergency Pla. The installation of the new computerized Interagency Telephone Syste.
The continued stability and continuity of staffing for emergency preparednes The discussions regarding the changes mentioned above indicates management support for emergency planning and continued improvement to the program. No violations were identified in this program are c. Facilities and Equipment This area was examined to verify that key emergency facilities and equipment were maintained as specified in the Emergency Plan and implementing procedures and to determine whether there were any changes to facilities that could be construed to decrease their effectivenes The inspector examined the Unit 1 Technical Support Center (TSC) and Operational Support Center (OSC), the Units 2 and 3 TSC and OSC, and the EOF. The examination included:
checking the inventories of the Emergency Kits, operational tests of emergency communications equipment located in the facilities, and an examination of the Emergency Plan and implementing procedures and other supporting documentation located in these facilities. The inspection determined that the above mentioned facilities were as stated in the Emergency Plan and implementing procedures and that the required emergency equipment was operable and within its calibration perio Construction was in progress on some of the rooms in the EOF to accommodate the move by the NA&EP staff. According to the NA&EP staff, the scheduled completion of construction is February 1989 and the move is expected shortly thereafter. It was also noted that the construction was minor in nature and should not be detrimental to performance of the EOF in the case of an emergenc The Emergency Plan and implementing procedures in the EOF were noted to be missing some recent revisions to the Plan and procedure Volume 102 of the Emergency Plan had not been updated with Revision 2.03 issued January 6, 1989. Books 2 and 3 of the implementing procedures did not contain the current temporary change notices (TCNs) issued for S0123-VIII-30, S0123-VIII-50, and SO123-VIII-7 Also, the Emergency Support Organization Manual had not been updated to Revision 148, dated January 10, 1989. Corrective action was expeditious and all documentation was brought current for the above stated documents. Personnel from Corporate Document Management (CDM) were also made aware of the problem and they are implementing some changes to their procedures to insure it does not reoccu There was an adequate supply of operable health physics equipment available in the health physics storage room in the EO However, the equipment was stored indifferent areas within the room, including suit cases and lockers, making it difficult to locate a specific piece of equipment. The Emergency Plan implies the equipment is in an emergency kit and not merely available in the storage room. This area should be examined to determine if some changes to the Emergency Plan or to the method of storage of emergency equipment would be beneficia During the tour of the Unit 1 OSC, some of the planned changes to improve the efficiency of the OSC were pointed out. The scheduling of the changes is still in proces During the tour of the Unit 1 TSC, a calculation manual was observed that did not appear to have a revision or date. The book was stated to contain methodology for determining source term. The licensee was questioned as to the method for controlling the document and insuring the validity of the calculations used for determining source term. The licensee stated they were aware of the book and were in the process of determining the best method for use and control of the calculation manua No violations or deviations were identified in this program area. Some minor problems in maintaining emergency documentation in the EOF were observed, however, there was immediate corrective action to resolve the problem. The Emergency facilities were well maintained and appeared capable of supporting their intended functio.
Exit Interview The Inspector held an exit interview with the licensee on January 27, 1989, to discuss the preliminary findings of the inspection. Licensee personnel at the meeting have been identified in Section 1 of this report. During the exit interview the licensee was informed that no deficiencies or violations of NRC requirements had been identified. In addition to summarizing the findings described in Sections 2 and 3 of this report, the inspector also complimented the licensee on the quality of the audits of the emergency preparedness progra U.
