! Licensee Action on Previous Insoection Findinas i (50-333/88-07-01) Close Dose calculations do not contain a method  !

for calculating off-site doses which would result from a real time  ;

accident in which the source term leakage was through the drywell l boundary, nor does the licensee consider whether any other credible

'unmonitored accident release pathways exist for which similar methods  !

should be developed. Procedure EAP 4 has been revised to include t appropriate source term values based upon Sargeant and Lundy containment Radiation Monitor Response to accident condition (50-333/88-07-02) Closed. The validation and verification documentation for the Class A Dose Assessment Model is incomplete. The  !

validation and verification documentation has been completed. (See  !

radiological habitability was inadequate in that the study did not-provide information to determine'if adequate shielding is availabl This is'a deviation. The TSC HVAC is operative in the emergency mode and the licensee has now established surveillance and preventative maintenance procedures to assure.its operability. The shielding stud for the TSC has been completed and the licensee has resolved the findings of that stud TMI Action Plan Requirements III.A.1.2 Closed. (Upgrade Emergency Support Facilities) and III.A.2 (Improving Licensee Emergency Preparedness - Long Term), the items identified in Inspection Report 50-333/88-07 have been resolved (refer to items described above) and these Ril Action Plan Requirements are considered close .0 'Emeracncy Plan and Imolementina Procedure 1 The inspector discussed changes made to the New York Power Authority Emergency Preparedness Plan since the last inspection. It'was determineo that no significant changes had been made. The minor changes which had been made did not adversely affect the licenseei; overall state of emergency preparedness. These changes had been appropriately incorporated into the licensee's Emergency Plan (EP) and Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.(EPIPs), and all changes to the EP and EPIPs had been review 6d, approved, and distributed in accordance with licensee procedures and NRC requirements before implementatio Current copies of the EP and EPIPs were verified to be available in the Emergency Response Facilities and Control Roo Based upon the above review, this portion of the Licensee's Emergency Preparedness Program is acceptabl .0 Emeraency Facilities. Eouipment. Instrumentation and Supplies The inspector toured the Control Room (CR), the Technical Support Center (TSC), and the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) in order to verify that these facilities and equipment are adequately maintaine Additionally, it was noted that an Emergency Response Facility Appraisal (ERFA) had been conducted (May 16-20, 1988) (Inspection Report 50-333/88-07) since the last inspectio No changes had been made in the CR since the ERFA conducted in May 198 The CR contained adequate emergency equipment, instrumentation and supplies. These supplies an6 communications systems were verified to be maintained in a state of readines The TSC is a semi-dedicated facility. A portion is used by the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator and his staff during normal work hours and part is used as a New York Power Authority lunch roo Procedures are in place for the activation of the TSC and there is sufficient space for technical staff in the event of an emergency as well as telephones, maps, etc. Status boards are available for tracking i

l l 4 changes in plant conditions, off-site actions and repair and survey teams. The TSC contains the necessary plans and procedures, drawings and other resources to aid the technical staff in mitigating the consequences of.an acciden The shielding study for the TSC was recently completed. It contained three' findings, one of which supported a previously identified NRC~

concern relating to the glass windows on the west wall which would

"

render the office portion of the TSC uninhabitable. To correct this and a potential problem identified in the study relating to the gamma dose contribution within the TSC from the post-LOCA source which would be contained in the upper portion (unshielded) of the Reactor Building, the licensee revised its procedures to control ingress and egress routes and to provide for continuous habitability surveys _and/or establish Area Radiation Monitor The verification and validation documentation for the dose assessment model (MMRAS) was reviewed and although a large number of functions and subroutines care performing correctly, many routines were found to be incorrect. Several of the incorrect routines contained complex ' errors that involve one or m're functians. The licensee is evaluating these findings for corrective action. The licensee's corrective' actions will be reviewed during a future inspectio The inspen or toured the E0F which is located near the Oswego County Airport in Fulton, NY outside the Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone approximately eleven miles from the site. It was determined that the EOF has adequate supplies, communications equipment and could be activated in a timely fashion if necessary. The licensee has installed a portal-monitor at the controlled entrance of the EOF in order to expeditiously monitor persons who have left the site and may have become contaminate Based upon the above review, this portion of the licensee's Emergency Preparedness Program is acceptabl .0 Organization and Manaaement Control The functions of the Emergency Preparedness Program both on and off-site are carried out by the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator (EPC) and a staff of two. The New York Power Authority Headquarters at White Plains, NY provides support when requested. A recent change in the organization of plant management resulted in the EPC now reporting directly to the Resident Manager. All functions of the emergency organization are adequately staffe There have been no changes in key off-site support methods and/or methods of coordination with them. There been no changes in agreements with off-site organizations. Emergency Action Levels are reviewed annually with Oswego County and the EPC maintains daily to weekly coordination with the County Emergency Management Offic _ _ - -

The inspector interviewed the Director of Emergency Preparedness Training (EPT), reviewed lesson plans and interviewed selected individuals of the Emergency Response Organizatio Training records were reviewed and the licensee has a computerized Plant Tracking System part of which is dedicated to emergency response training. The current listing of the ERO was reviewed with require training and it was verified that persons who are assigned to ERO positions have been trained for those positions and have received j requalification training as prescribed. The Director, EPC coordinates <

closely with the EPT, in that, as changes are made to the Emergency Plan and/or Implementing Procedures, the Director, EPT is informed and he changes lesson plans to incorporate these changes such that persons in the ERO affected by.these changes'are made aware of them during the next training cycle. It was determined that personnel have been effectively i trained and understand their emergency responsibilitie '

"

The inspector reviewed the previous two annual audits (#624 dated ,

9/14/87 and #659 dated 9/13/88) and determined that they were i comprehensive and complete. The audit checklists used were thorough in both. scope and depth. The audits were completed by site Quality Assurance Department persons who were verified to be independent of the-Emergency Preparedness organization. The audits met the requirements'of 10 CFR 50.54 (t) to include assessing the adequacy of governmental interfaces and making available a copy of that determination to the l

'

local and state governments.
