l LicenseeAudits(82701)

Pursuant to 10CFR50.47(b)(14) and 10 CFR 50.54(t), this area was inspected to determine whether the licensee'had performed an independent review or audit of the emergency preparedness progra The 1988 records of audits of the emergency preparedness program were reviewed. The records reflected that the Quality Assurance Department had conducted an independent audit during the last 12 months and had provided it to corporate and plant management with a letter dated September 12,

-198 The part of the review involving the evaluation for adequacy of interface with State and local governments was provided to the appropriate State and local governments with a letter dated November 30, 1988. The inspector also reviewed the licensee's records on the 1988 Emergency Exercise to determine that an effective system was in place to ensure deficiencies identified were being tracked for correction. The system in place appeared to be adequat No violations or deviations were identifie .

The corrective action included additional guidance and instructions for Security to ensure notification of personnel in areas where Public Address (PA)

modifications were not complete Corrective steps to be taken included the installation of new volume override switches on the remaining approximately 100-125 PA unit During the inspection, documents were reviewed indicating the volume override units had been installed, tested, and declared operational on the Unit 1 Accessible PA System, and on both the Unit 2 Accessible and Inaccessible PA Systems. The inspector was informed that the Unit 1 Inaccessible PA System installation of the volume override units remained on schedule per the October 7,1987 Supplemental Respons The schedule delineated work completion by February 1,1989. On January 30, 1989, a licensee representative informed the inspector that all modifications had been completed and accepted, and the paperwork for same would be provided to the Resident Inspector's office.
