INSPECTOR'S EVALUATION
.
RO; INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-219/73-21 JERSEY CENTRAL POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY (JCPL)
OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR STATION (OC)-
.
The above inspection report documents the findings of my review'of the F
licensee's emergency planning. The inspection was conducted just prior to JCPL submitting their revised Emergency Plan in accordance with Appendix E.of 10 CFR 50. The plan was prepared by Radiation Management Corporation and was very similar to one submitted by Philadelphia Electric
L Company. with regard to Peach Bottom Unit No. 2.
Unfortunately, RMC did
~
not take into account changes made in the Peach Bottom Emergency Plan
'
subsequent to our inspection and therefore the problems encountered at-
,
Peach Bottom were again encountered at Oyster Creek. The licensee had several emergency implementation procedures written apparently in conjunc-
,
tion with the outdated Emergency Plan being utilized at the site. A review of these procedures indicated that the facility would have adequate emer-
,s

gency planning for the interim period until the updated procedures could
,
be written and implemented. During my inspection of the facility, I found i
a significant improvement in both health physics and housekeeping aspects
^
of the plant. This is primarily due to the presence of a new Radiation Protection Supervisor who clearly has significant background in health physics and is apparently receiving corporate cooperation in implementing new procedures. This last fact is encouraging from the overall standpoint of emergency planning and health physics and I b Sieve that our " missionary"
.
effort in this area at this time will be very fruitful.
The licensee was informed that meeting the requirements in the area of i
anergency planning would be.a prerequisite to the issuance of a full-term operating license for the facility. The impression received by this inspec-tor was that every effort.would be made to have the Emergency Plan and
'
implementation procedures _ upgraded as quickly as possible and in conform-
. ance with current guidelines provided in Appendix E of 10 CFR 50 and
regulatory guidelines used for implementation procedures.-

Meeting with the State of New Jersey proved very fruitful in that I
,
became acquainted with the new individual who will be handling emergency planning for the state. The State's Emergency Plan does not meet the

current guidelines that are being utilized on an interim basis for state emergency planning. The impression received by this inspector,
'
however, was that the state was in a position to effectively implement
,
'
emergency actions at the facility and in general were waiting for fur-ther guidance in upgrading their emergency plans. No significant prob-lem is envisioned in this area. This matter is being followed closely.
Meetings with the State Civil Defense and Disaster Control organization and the State Police were not possible in conjunction with this inspec-tion but will be attended to in the near future with details being pro-vided in a subsequent inspection report in this area. The separate memo to H. Thornburg regarding emergency planning status at the site will not be sent in conjunction with this inspection due to the fact that the aforementioned material is not available at this time.
