Revision 7 was promptly submitted to NRC on September 23, 1988, and by letter dated November 18, 1988, NRC notified the licensee that the revision was acceptable.
The inspectors reviewed the effective dates versus the submittal date of 33 emergency plan implementing procedure (EPIP) changes made between June 1988 and June 30, 1989, and found that they had been submitted to
-
NRC within the required time. The inspectors also reviewed EPIP changes for content and determined that they did not decrease the effectiveness of the, Emergency Plan.

-
Coordinator (EPC) and his staff.
Presently, the staff is supervised by
'
the Manager of Training who reports to the General Manager of Technical Support who reports to the Vice President, Nuclear. As a consequence of the present reorganization, the EPC is one step closer to the Vice
President, Nuclear-. The licensee is presently attempting to fill a vacant
position ~ for an emergency planner under the EPC and is considering changing the title of the Manager of Training to Manager of Training and
. Emergency Preparedness to give a greater administrative visibility to the EPC.
The inspectors noted that the senior trainer working for the EPC had
,
been reassigned. The licensee stated that he would return to his position in the near future, j

- and Shift Administrative Assistant; two teams consisting of Dose Assessment Supervisor and Dose Assessment Team Member; and one team consisting of an Offsite Monitoring Supervisor and one Emergency Radiation j
Team Member to determine their knowledge pertaining to'their duties during
!
emergency conditions.
]
The control room staff members were asked to classify certain emergency conditiens and make protective action recommendations. The inspectors
)
noted that all shift supervisors performed well, but that one shift supervisor underclassified the postulated accident conditions for the specific scenario presented. The licensee took immediate action to
,,
reschedule this individual for training on similar scenarios.

.available to them.
The same questions were used for similar teams.
