To prevent a recurrence of this error, instructions will be added to the "ANO Emergency Planning Drill / Exercise Manual" which will formally address preparations for the use of CNS during these activitie The above corrective actions are scheduled for completion by November 18, 199 . The inadequate briefing given by the licensee to the NRC upon their arrival to the site is considered to be an exercise weakness (313/9219-021 368/9219-02).

Response:

It has been determined that procedures lack formal guidelines for briefing off-site authorities upon their arrival at the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). Procedure 1903.067 ' Emergency Response Facility - Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)" will be revised to provide- guidelines for conducting such briefings. The object of the briefings will be to furnish concise and useful information and to identify sources within the Emergency Response Organization for information not immediately available during the briefing. The addition of these guidelines will also promote consistency in the briefing proces This revision is scheduled for implementation by November 18, 199 . The inspectors noted that the off-site monitoring teams did not take adequate contamination control measures while in the radioactive plume because protective clothing was not used, nor was it readily available to them. The failure to use proper protective clothing is considered to be an exercise weakness (313/9219-03; 368/9219-03).

Response:

This weakness is the result of a past drill practice w tch did not require off-site Monitoring Teams to perform in the mos: realistic manner feasible. Although the use of protective clothing in the

-

field during this exercise was established as a simclated activity prior to the exercise, Entergy Operations acknowledges the negative training aspect of not requiring off-site monitoring teams to carry protective clothing with them in the field. Accordingly, in future

' drills and exercises which involve off-site monitoring teams,

. personnel will be expected to locate and carry protective clothing in the vehicle This training practice was initiated with the ERO Drill conducted on August 18, 1992.
