Inspection Summary-i Inspection o'n August 12-17, 1990-(Reports No. 50-266/900017(DRSS); 50-301/900017(DRSS))- t

,;; Areas Inspected:- R6utine, announced inspection of the following areas'of  ,

the P) int. Beach Nuclear Power Plant emergency preparednest program: license ,

 . action on previously identified items (IP-92701); followup on; actual emergency-plan activations-(IP_92700); and operatfor.al status of the emergency  ,
 ;,reparedness. program (IP 82701). The inspection involved one NRC. inspector.-

Results:' No violations, deficiencies or deviations were identified during _

        .

thist;nspection. =The Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Preparedness ' program is being adequately maintained, and problems-identified during .the inspection were regarded as minor. Emergency preparedness training was '! i significantly improved from previous inspections, and minor corrective actions and improvements are still taking place. The overall program is now solid, based on the continual, incremental- improvements that have been made to the 1

 : program over the past several years.

As this involves an exception to Table 1 of Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737 relating to the maximum distance. emergency facilities should;be located from the plant, an exception to the requirements was-requested. The request for exemption was submitted on December 14, 1988, the Commission acted.on the request on May 16, 1990, and the licensee was advised by letter of July 20, 1990, that the exception-had been approve The new backup EOF will be approximately 88 miles from the plan Discussion with licensee personnel indicated that plans to relocate the facility are in progres Discussion with licensee personnel also indicated that consideration is being given to relocation of the Joint Public Information Center (JPIC) from its current location in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. The JPIC is located within the ten-mile emergency planning zone (EPZ), and has the potential of being evacuated if that portion of the EPZ is evacuate A plant simulator is under deielopment. It is intended that the simulator be utilized to " drive" future emergency exercises and drills, and the simulator's computer would also provide data for display on te:minals in the TSC and E0F. This should significantly increase the degree nf realism involved in emergency exercises and drill No violations or deviations were identifie q

 "emained in use during 1990. The tracking systems encompassed one-time and periodic action item Adequate numbers of personnel h6ve been identified for specific lead.and support positions in the onsite ERO. Administrative systems were in use to ensure that ERO members and_ their supervisors were iaformed of the formers' ERO membershi No violations or deviations were identified, Training In.carly 1989, a number of problems with continuing training were identified from audits performed by the licensee QA and Training group, and NRC inspections. -In response to the findings-in NRC Inspection Report No.-50-266/89012; 50-301/89012, an-Emergency J Response Training Task Force was created on June 7,1989. -This Task Force developed a "punchlist" of items from the various audits of the emergency preparedness training program. Over 45 tasks were delineated by the Task Force, which met approximately three times a month between Jc..e and December of 1989. Major tasks involved determining continuing EP training needs, developing the " Emergency Plan Tracker" emergency response training tracking system, revising the initial training program, and creating qualification maintenance
. requirements. The Task Force determined in July 1990, that most major tasks had been completed and it could be disbande Current training commitments are covered in the Emergency Plan under EP 8.0 (Rev. 32, dated October 2, 1989) " Maintaining Emergency Preparedness". Section 3.0 " Organizational Preparedness" specifically addresses initial and continuing training. Section 3.1.1 describes the requirements for onsite employees, and section 3.1.2 describes the requirements for corporate support personnel .
