_ -- already requested the updating of the letters of agreement from the offsite emergency response organization *

Emergency Facilities, Equipment, Instrumentation, and Supplies (82701)
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.47(b)(8) and (9), 10 CFR 50.54(q), and Section I of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50, this area was inspected to determine whether the licensee's emergency response facilities and other essential emergency equipment, instrumentation, and supplies were mai~tained in a state of operational readiness, and to assess the impact of any changes in this area upon the emergency preparedness progra An assessment of the state of operational readiness of emergency equipment and instrumentation was made by reviewing selected surveillance test procedures (STPs).
The STPs selected were 55.4, Emergency Communication Test; 55.5, Early Warning System Polling Function; and 55.6, Early Warning System Siren Activation Monitoring Tes The results of the STPs reflected equipment that was fully functional in most instances, with the exceptions being identified for prompt corrective actio While reviewing the STPs, the inspector noted there appeared to be several months of missing reports, particularly for the Emergency Communi cati ans Tes Additional searching provided the missing STPs; however, it was apparent that the administrative processing of STPs did not provide for adequate trackin This issue was discussed with li~ensee representatives and the inspector was informed a new program was pending approval that would improve upon the Periodic Test Tracking System currently being use No violations or deviations were identifie.

- Preparedness position was upgraded to Directot level with the Director of Emergency Preparedness reporting directly to the Vice President of Nuclear Service Additional upgrading of the corporate emergency preparedness staff has been the doubling of the staff to 10 personnel. The increased
. corporate staff has increased the support available to the site, particularly in the area of scenario developmen Changes to the site emergency preparedness staff closely parallels the corporate restructuring with the site staff doubling from one to two and the Station Coordinator Emergency Planning position being elevated one leve The more significant change because of its effect upon emergency planning was the management realignment of the Chemistry Department reporting to the Superintendent Radiation Protection vice the Technical Services Superintenden A parallel change was made in the emergency organization with the Chemistry team now reporting to the Radiological Assessment Coordinato This change now permits both the health physics and chemistry team personne 1 to be directed by the same Coordinator, thus improving the health physics/chemistry coordinatio The site EPIPs provided for the aforementioned change No violations or deviations were identifie.
Training (82701)
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) and (15),Section IV.F of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50, and Section 7.2 of the licensee's Emergency Plan, this area was inspected to determine whether the licensee's key emergency response personnel were properly trained and understood their emergency responsibilitie The inspector reviewed documentation of the emergency response training program, including training procedures and selected lesson plans, and interviewed members of the instructional staf Based on these re~iews and interviews, the inspector determined that the licensee had established a formal emergency training progra The effectiveness of this formal program was evaluated by wal kthroughs with selected personnel and a walkthrough one evening starting at approximately 7:30 p.m. of the on duty staff that would become the initial emergency response organization if an emergency were to occu All of the personnel interviewed were aware of their emergency assignments and responsibilitie A review of the training records for these personnel the next day documented that their training was complete and curren Additional training records were reviewed by choosing three positions at random from EPIP 3.02, titled TSC Activation, and then verifying the status of training from the personnel on the callout list who would have been called in to fill the selected positions. Again, all required training was found to be curren No violations or deviations were identifie.
