l EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT NRC Inspection Report Nos. 50-348/98-10,50-364/98-10 This routine, announced inspection involved the observation and evaluation of the biennial emergency preparedness exercise for the Farley Nuclear Plant. This NRC/ FEMA-evaluated exercise was a p!t.ua exposure pathway exercise with offsite participation by the States of '
.
Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, and local governments within the plume exposure pathwa The exercise was conducted on September 9,1998 frorn 8:05 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This report summarizes the observations of the four-person NRC team that assessed the adequacy of the licensee's emergency preparedness program as it implemented its emergency plan and procedures in response to the simulated accident. A separate FEMA report will be issued that evaluates the perfoimance of the States and countie The NRC team observed the licensee's response in the Control Room Simulator (CRS), the Technical Support Center (TSC), the Operational Support Center (OSC), and the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). Based on the performance observed, the team concluded that the licensee successfully demonstrated its ability to implement the Emergency Plan and implementing Procedure Proaram Areas Evaluated and RestMs Scenario - The scenario developed for this exercise was effective for testing the integrated emergency response capability of the onsite and offsite emergency organizations (Section P4.1).
Control Room Simulator - Because the exercise was not driven by an active simulator, CRS observation was limited to initial classification and notification. These functions were accomplished in a satisfactory manner (Section P4.2.b.1).
Tshnical Support Center - Command and control of TSC operations were effective. The TSC staff was proactive in formulating mitigation strategies to minimize offsite releases (Section P4.2.b.2).
Operational Support Center - TSC - OSC communications were not fully effective in communicating important plant conditions. The potential radiological hazard from a radioactive plume to site personnel using the Secondary Access Point (SAP) was not considered by the TSC or the OSC. High priority tearns were not dispatched from the OSC in a timely manner (Section P4.2.b.3).
Emeraency Operations Facility - Command and control of EOF operations by the Recovery Manager was generally very good. Effective working relationships were observed between licensee personnel and State and county representatives at the EOF (Section P4.2.b.4).
Licensee Critiaue - The licensee's controller / evaluator organization was effective in identifying most minor performance issues. Although a sufficient number of monitors was used, some of the more significant performance issues observed by the NRC, particulariy in the OSC, were not identified by the licensee monitors (Section P4.2.b.5).

l Observations and Findinas l
The initial emergency response was observed by the inspector in the CRS. The simulator was not active, therefore plant parameters were provided by the controller
!
t staff. The initial event of the exercise occurred at 8:08 a.m. when a phone call was received in the CRS that damage to a fuel assembly had occurred during movement and there was high radiation in the Auxiliary Building. The Unit 2 Shift Supervisor promptly classified the Alert condition and assumed the responsibilities as the
, Emergency Director (ED). Notifications were directed by the ED and a turnover briefing i
was made shortly thereafter. No further observations were made by the NRC team from l the CR Conclusion Because the exercise was not driven by an active simulator, CRS observation was l limited to initial classification and notification. These functions were accomplished in a satisfactory manne Technical Suonort Center Observations and Findinas Staffing of the TSC was initiated with the public address announcement for the Alert emergency classification made at 8:21 a.m. Twenty minutes later the ED for the TSC completed the turnover briefing from the U2 Shift Supervisor who was the ED in the Control Room Simulator. With the activation of the TSC, the ED assumed the responsibilities for making notifications, emergency classification, PARS, and dose assessment. The ED promptly upgraded the emergency classification to a Site Area Emergency (SAE) at 9:42 a.m. due to the reactor coolant system (RCS) leak greater than 130 gallons per minute (gpm) and an RCS activity greater than 300 microcuries/ gram dose equivalent I-131 (DEI). The responsibility for dose assessment and follow-up notificatiens to the States and counties transferred to the EOF at approximately 10:10 a.m. The General Emergency (GE) declaration was made at 10:52 a.m. with the loss of the three fission product barriors. The inspector observed that the ED exercised effective command and control and his staff was proactive in formulating mitigation strategies to minimize offsite release Conclusion Command and control of TSC operations were effective. The TSC staff was proactive in formulating mitigation strategies to minimize offsite releases.

3 Operational Sucoort Center i Observations and Findinas The inspector observed several instances where TSC - OSC communications were not fully effective:
e- A SAE was declared at 9:42 a.m. The inspector observed and the OSC logs -
confirm that the OSC was not aware of the plant conditions which led to the declaration of the SAE (Greater than 130 g.p.m. leak, DEI of 300
<
microcuries/ gram and radiation monitor - R27 reading of 14.6 R/hr). At 9:45 a.m., the inspector observed that OSC discussion continued to focus on the
,
damaged fuel in the spent fuel pool which occurred at 8:08 a.m.
4'
e A GE was declared at 10:52 a.m. About 20 minutes later at 11:15 a.m., the OSC became aware of the GE by an announcement on the public address (PA)
system made by the Assistant to the E * At 10:35 a.m., radiation monitor - R27 was reading 170 R/hr. The inspector observed and the OSC logs confirm that, through 12:17 p.m., the OSC was not aware that severe fuel damage had occurre During this exercise, the Primary Access Point was out of service and access to the plant was through the Secondary Access Point (SAP). The OSC did not consider this off normal situation and did not establish the necessary radiological controls for exiting the Radiological Controlled Area (RCA) and for entry into the OS '
,
During this exercise, a radioactive plume was blowing directly over the SA Maintenance, security, and Emergency Response Organization (ERO) relief personnel walked directly into the plume when entering the protected area through the SAP. The potential radiological hazard to site personnel using the SAP was not considered by the 1SC or the OS During the exercise, the OSC dispatched four re-entry teams. Re-entry teams three and four were designated as priority one teams and assigned to perform an RCS leak
"
search of the different elevations of the auxiliary building. Their mission was to identify the source of the known leak and stop the release. Both teams took an excessive
- amount of time, over an hour each, to be dispatched from the OSC.
E Conclusion
'
TSC - OSC communications were not fully effective in communicating irnportant plant conditions. The potential radiological hazard from a radioactive plume to site personnel using the SAP was not considered by the TSC or the OSC. High priority teams were not

b.4 Emeroency Ooerations Facility Observations and Findinas Following the Alert declaration at 8:18 a.m., an announcement on the PA directed the activation of the ERFs. Required minimum staffing for the EOF was achieved at 9:05 a.m., at which time the EOF was considered " activated" (i.e., ready to assume its designated functions) Thus, the EOF was activated 47 minutes after the Alert declaration, meeting the established goal of 75 minute At 9:20 a.m., the EOF assumed control of the licensee's offsite radiation monitoring teams. At this same time, a reactor trip with subsequent complications justifiably delayed the EOF's assumption of dose assessment and communications activities from the TSC until 10:10 In general, command and control of EOF operations by the Recovery Manager (RM)
I was very good. Effective working relationships were observed between licensee staff and State and county representatives at the EOF. The EOF staff functioned efficiently
,
and professionall The inspectors observed that by 9:40 a.m. (which was actually before the SAE declaration) the status board entitled "Offsite Protective Actions" listed the licensee's PARS as evacuation of zones A, D-5, E 5, F-5 and sheltering of zones D-10, E-10, F-1 Discussion with licensee exercise controllers disclosed that these PARS, written in black ink, were what would be recommended, based on current meteorological conditions, if a GE were declared; actual PARS, when issued, were to be written on the board in re This practice was known only to those personnel who had participated in recent drill Others at the EOF were perplexed by the information. Licensee representatives planned to clarify use of this status boar At 10:25 a.m., with a SAE classification in effect since 9:42 a.m., the licensee concurred in the State's desire to commence evacuation of the 5-mile radius around the plant. The RM indicated that this action was taken to demonstrate a unified effort by the licensee and local governmental agencies. However, this PAR was not developed in accordance with the Guidelines in FNP-0-EIP-9.0, " Emergency Classification and i Actions", Rev. 42, dated May 27,1997. Guideline 2 (for SAE) stated the following in Note 2 near the end of the procedure:
Only the protective actions specified by plant procedures should be recommended, unless there are obvious relevant factors (e.g.,
severe na; oral phenomena) that probably were not anticipated when the PARS were developed and that would make the standard PAR recommendations impractical, or obviously non-conservativ No such " obvious relevant factors" existed at the time the PAR was made. At the end of Guideline 2, step 1 stated that, for an emergency classification based solely on plant conditions and not on dose projections (as was tha case at the time in question), PARS
"are not required; however, they may (at the discretion of the ED) be made as a precautionary measure, depending on the severity of the plant condition." The licensee's PAR at SAE was not in accordance with the applicable procedural L

requirements because it was issued solely to concur with the State's decision, and was not determined to be necessary based on plant conditions. The licensee's critique also identified this issue for follow-up and possible corrective actio The declarations of Alert, SAE, and GE were correct. However, the inspectors l questioned the licensee's procedure for determining the time at which an emergency is ,
to be declared. Procedure FNP-0-EIP-9.0 specified that the emergency declaration time l was to be recorded as the time at which the ED signed the initial Emergency Notification
- form. This practice was inconsistent with NRC guidance found in various documents ,
I and had the potential to undermine the timeliness of emergency notifications. Licensee l management agreed that this procedural direction may be inappropriate and stated that corrective action would be considered to ensure that management expectations and NRC requirements were being me l Conclusion l
l The EOF functioned efficiently and professionally. Command and control of EOF operatione by the RM was generally very good. Procedural and performance issues were identified in the areas of emergency declaration timing and PAR decision-making and presentatio j
b.S Licensee Facility Critiaues Following the exercise, the licensee conducted facility critiques in which the players provided their own assessment of their performance and identified areas that needed improvement. The post-exercise critiques in the TSC, OSC, and EOF were observed to be thorough, open, and self-critical. The licensee controller / evaluator organization then conducted detailed discussions, reviewed documentation, and conducted interviews as required to develop their critique results. On September 11,1998, the Emergency Preparedness Director provided an excellent presentation to licensee management of the critique result Conclusi_o_n A thorough crit:que process was followed with a well-prepared management presentation that summarized the most significant exercise observation V. Manaaement Meetinas X1 Exit Meeting The Team Leader presented the inspection summary to licensee management on September 11,1998. The summary indicated the exercise was fully satisfactory.

EMERGENCY EXERCISE l NARRATIVE SUMMARY
SEPTEMBER 9,1998 I
The drill starts at 0800 with the Unit 1 Control Room staff maintaining reactor power at the current power level of 99.7%. A: 0805 radiation monitor alarms indicate that a vent stack release is occurring and that radiation levels in the Spent Fuel Pool area are i
elevated. At approximately 0808 a report from the SRO in charge of fuel movement indicates that a spent fuel assembly has been deformed due to apparent failure of the Spent Fuel Pool bridge controls. The Spent Fuel Pool area has been evacuated. The Control Room staff shculd follow the appropriate Annunciator Procedure guidance. ~
By approximately 9823 the Control Room staff should declare an ALERT emergency based on EIP-9.0, Guideline 3, step 3.1.d. Plant staff will start taking actions for an Alert
, emergency and the TSC, EOF, EOC, and ECO staffs will be activated. When offsite dose calculations are performed the results should indicate that the NOUE whole body noble gas release limits may have been exceeded but that levels remain less than the ALERT limits. The vent stack release ends at approximately 0923 when all fuel rod gap noble gases have been released from the dunaged spent fuel assembl Within 75 minutes of the Alert declaration, the TSC and EOF should have minimum staff in place ready to perform designated functions. The EOC in Birmingham will also have staff available to support plant operation At approximately 0920 the crew receives indications of increasing reactor power due to increasing steam flow. At approximately 0921 an automatic reactor trip occurs due to resultant overpower condition. All plant rystems function properly except that the #4 Main Turbine governor valve still indicates fully open. Reports from the Turbine Building indicate that a steam release did occur in the vicinity of the Unit 1 Main Turbine high pressure housing. The steam releue was isolated when the Main Turbine tripped and no injuries have been reporte The crew enters und begins following the procedural g"idance of EEP-0 and ESP-0.1. At approximately 0925 indications of increasing Containment sump level lead the crew to reference AOP-1 to deal with potential RCS leakage. By approximately 0930 the crew has indications of excessive RCS leakage and activity levels (DEI > 300 Ci/gm).
By approximately 0945 the Plant Staff should declare a SITE AREA emergency based
- on EIP-9.0, Guide!ine 2.0, step 3.1. Once declared the plant staff should begin taking i actions for a Site Area emergency based on the EIPs to include activation of the Plant l Emergency Alarm, assembly, and Protected Area accountability.
l
! At approximately 1036 the crew receives indications of high vibration, seal damage, and seal leakage on the l A Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP). Approximately one minute later NARRATIVE SUMMARY PAGE 1 of 2 1 000006

the 1 A RCP trips on high current and the crew observes a rapid decrease in pressurizer level, a corresponding increase in Containment pressure, increasing Containment radiation levels and Safety Injection automatically actuates. The cause of the transient is a large break loss of coolant accident on the l A Reactor Coolant loop which causes fuel cladding failure to increase to approximately 80%. Containment pressure peaks at > 27 psig and Containment Spray does automatically actuat The crew reenters EEP-0 in response to the accident. All equipment works properly following the SI except the l A Componerd Cooling Water (CCW) pump does not start automatically and cannot be manually started. When investigated the l A CCW pump motor breaker is damaged and needs repair. The crew may realign the IB CCW pump to the B train to allow use of the B train LHSI and HHSI pump At 1045 indications of release from containment to the environment through the penetration room are observed. By approximately 1100, plant staff should declare a GENERAL EMERGENCY based on plant conditions per EIP-9.0, Guideline 1, step l 2.1. Dose projections, when performed, will also indicate the need to upgrade based on l sight boundary dose. Once declared the plant staff should begin taking actions for a General emergency per EIP-9.0 while the crew continues to stabilize the plant per the l procedural flow path of EEP-0, FRP-Z.1, EEP-1, FRP-P.1, ESP 1.3.
l l At approximately 1107 the Reactor Vessel Level Indication System (RVLIS) indicates
,
'
that water level has been restored in the reactor vessel. By approximately 1140 the crew completes alignment of the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) to the cold leg recirculation mode.
l The release path to environment is from the 139' Electrical Penetration Room via a failed l electrical penetration. It is anticipated that the actual leak source may not be identified l prior to the end of the scenario due to the high energy release tha't is taking place in the Electrical Penetration Room. It is also, therefore, not anticipated that the leak from containment can be stopped prior to the end of the exercise due to the identification l problems, high energy releases, and high dose rates in the area where work would need to be performed.

i The News Media Center (NMC) will be activated and staffed by representatives from SNC, APC, the State of Alabama, the State of Georgia, the State of Florida, Houston / Henry County, and Early County. Media and public interest will be simulated l7 and news releases will be prepared and release The exercise will terminate once the radiation monitoring teams have tracked the plume, the EOF has been staffed and is perfonning EOF activities and the NMC has conducted a press conference. The termination will be coordinated with the States of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida if occurring prior to 1230 Central time to ensure that all objectives have been demonstrate NARRATIVE SUMMARY PAGE 2 of 2 000007
