'

licensee's letter dated February 21, 1978, in response to the items of l

nonccmpliance identified in IE Report No. 50-302/77-24. The results of l

Emergency Planning

-

The inspector noted the Emergency Plan bas been reviewed by the a.

licensee and approved as Procedure EM-200.

The inspector reviewed the new EM-200. The inspector noted the r.ew EM-200 has been reviewed and approved as specified by Technical Specification 6.8.2.

The inspector had no further questions regarding these items.

b.

The inspector reviewed the items of noncompliance identified in IE Report 50-302/77-24, and the FPC response to that inspection dated February 28, 1978. The inspector noted the licensee has completed corrective action on the identified items.

The following items are considered closed: 77-24-02; 77-24-04; 77-24-08; and 77-24-09.

c.

The inspector noted that the licensee issued an administrative directive in February, 1978, which stated that any personnel changes or actions affecting EM-206 " Emergency Roster and Notification" would be reported within 10 days by the individuals j

supervisor to the Plant Manager's secretary, who would issue a

_

revised EM-206 within five days. The inspector identified on May 4, a member of the fire brigade, listed in EM-206, who had left Crystal River 3 employ on April 7 and the individual's i

supervisor had failed to notify the Plant Maaager's secretary.

Failure to achieve a current roster, and follow the administra-tive directive referenced in the February 28 licensee commitment to the Commission, constitutes a deviation. (78-11-01)

.

d.

The inspector discussed the failure of the licensee to follow the administrative directive in (c) above with licensee persoanel.

The licensee stated the irportcnce of each sup :rvisor maintaining vigilance over personnel listed in EM-206 would be stressed to all supervisors. The inspector acka-iged this proposed corrective action. This item will be review during subsequent inspections a

to assure the accuracy of the EM-206 roster.

't e.

The inspector reviewed the meteorological system anemometa calibrations. The inspector determined the licensee's anemometer is not of the typ to which calibration errors have been previously observed.gj

Fire Brigades

.

a.

The inspector examined the licensee's fire protection program in regards to implementation of the Fire Technical Specifications, issued by the NRC as Amendment No.13 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-72, which became effective on April 5,1978. The inspector reviewed the training and staffing of the fire brigades during the period April 6,1978 to May 3,1978.

b.

The inspector noted during the review of the fire brigade shift staffing, that on March 12, April 21 and April 22, the licensee had appointed to the shift fire brigade individuals who had not attended the fire brigade training program. Section 2.2.3 of the Emergency Plan specifies that emergency team personnel will be trained to fulfill their responsibilities.

Technical Specification 6.2.2.f requires the licensee to have four fire brigade members onsite. The licensee's fire brigade therefore consisted of three fire trained members. Failure to select four trained members to the fire brigade team is an item of noncompliance with Technical Specification 6.2.2.f.

(78-11-02)

c.

The inspector observed licensee shift personnel in the process of

\\

fire brigade team selection and noted the individual appointing

,

'

the team members did not verify the selected individuals were certified as fire qualified by using the EM-206 emergency roster.

The inspector reviewed shift staffing for March 12, April 21 and April 22, and determined other personnel trained in the fire brigade training program were available, but were not selected

'

for the fire team.

The inspector, therefore, considers the

.

improper staffing during the referenced dates to be an administrative matter.

d.

The inspector discussed the apparent item of noncompliance with licansee representatives.

The licensee stated a review of the fire brigade shift selection process would be made, and steps will be taken to verify the qualifications of all emergency team members, prior to appointment to their respective shift emergency team. This item will be reviewed during subsequent inspections.

6.

Respiratory Protection of Emergency Teams The inspector reviewed the respiratory protection records of the emergency team members listed in EM-206.

The inspector noted the licensee is presently implementing a respiratory protection program, and has not completed approving all emergency team personnel under the N

respintory protection program guidelines.

This item shall be

]

considered unresolved. (78-11-03)

Transient Fire Loads

- '

'

l

.

-

The inspector toured the turbine building area for combustible a.

materials and potential fire hazards. The inspector noted the

area on the lower-level turbine floor, southeast corner, was being utilized to store various chemicals and materials,

including: Benzene, Ethyl Alcohol, Toluene, Acetone, Methanol, i

and Propanol (Highly Flammable); Hydrochloric Acid, Sodium

.,

i

,

Hydroxide, and Ammonium Hydroxide (Irritants); cloths, plastics, and papers. This area of the turbine building is not monitored by smoke or fire detectors.

The cabinets and racks storing the materials were not approved fire storage lockers. Also, adjacent l

to this area the inspector noted an open cabinet with an open canister, half full of an oil-type mixture of solvent.

'

I b.

The inspector discussed with licensee personnel the fire potential of this area and its associated complications:

chemicals suspended or volatilized with smoke, and ineffec-

'

tiveness of water on alcohol fires. Licensee personnel stated a

-

review of this matter would be immediatsly initiated. This item

,

shall be considered unresolved. (78-11~04)

>

j c.

On June 12, 1978, the inspector discussed with licensee personnel i

the status of the transient fire load removal by July 1,1978.

!

The inspector stated this item would be examined during an

!

inspection in July,1978.

8.

Emergency Team Preplanning

The inspector discussed with several individuals listed in EM-206 their understanding and training in implementation of emergency team

'

actions. The inspector noted that several individuals expressed a concern that their sequence of actions, and lines of responsibility, were not clearly defined.

The inspector noted that inclusion of emergency team response in fire preplanning has apparently not been j

conducted.

The licensee stated a review of all plant areas and i

evaluation of emergency team actions would be made to assure all

emergency team members and support personnel are cognizant of

responsibilities and actions.

This item will be reviewed during a subsequent inspection. (78-11-05)

'

9.-

Firefighting Equipment The inspector reviewed the liceusee's fire cart equ~ ment..The licensee stated additional fire turnout gear was on order.

The equipment appeared adequate to assist the fire brigade team to combat a fire. The licensee stated a radiation survey instrument was being considered for inclusion on the fire carts. The inspector has no further questions regarding this item.
