Denotes those present at followup meeting on February 19, 198 .0 Followup of the Findings of the Emergency Preparedness Implementation Appraisal During the period of August 12-16, 1985, NRC Region I conducted an appraisal of the state of emergency preparedness for the Hope Creek Generating Station. Specific details are contained in NRC Region I Inspection Report 50-354/85-40. The objectives of the appraisal were to evaluate the overall adequacy and effectiveness of emergency preparedness and to identify areas of weakness. The findings of the appraisal were used as a basis for findings against the provisions of 10 CFR 50.47(a)(2)

and for requesting actions by the applicant to correct deficiencies and effect improvements.

The appraisal of the state of onsite emergency preparedness at the Hope Creek Generating Station involved six general areas:

Administration of the Emergency Preparedness Program Development; Emergency Organization; Emergency Training; Emergency Facilities and Equipment; Procedures Which Implement the Emergency Plan; and Coordination with Offsite Agencie The findings of this energency preparedness appraisal at the Hope Creek Generating Station indicated that the framework for the EP program (administration and organizational setup, training, procedures, facility locations) was established and appeared to be adequate. However, several critical program areas were found to be incomplete (organization, communications, training and facilities). Therefore, the NRC appraisal team was unable, at that time, to make a determination as to the adequacy of the program. Specific arcas of concern were identified as open item The purpose of this inspection (50-354/86-09) was to review the applicant's progress in completing the implementation of the Emergency Preparedness program at Hope Creek and resolving the other problems identified during the appraisal. The findings are discussed belo (Closed) 50-354/85-40-01: Describe the authorities and responsibilities of the Emergency Preparedness Manager and the remainder of the Emergency j Planning and Preparedness Grou A review of Section 17, Revision 9 of the Hope Creek Emergency Plan revealed that the plan has been revised to provide a description of the authorities and responsibilities of the various groups cnd positions within the Emergency Planning Departmen The descriptions completely and

The guide provides infor-mation on visitor control, vehicle control, fire alarms, radiation alert alarms, building evacuation alarms, and a site map. Review of the brochure indicates that it provides adequate guidelines to visitors for site access, orientation, and instructions for temporary personnel to follow in the event of an emergenc Based on these findings, this item is close (Closed) 50-354/85-40-04: Some Emergency Preparedness training program lesson plans were inadequate or incomplet Table 16-2, Revision 9, of the Hope Creek Emergency Plan " Emergency Response Training Modules, Course Content," lists nine (9) essential module Each module consists of more than one classroom training activity plus associated practical instruction. Due to consolidation of lesson plans and elimination of redundant material among lesson plans, essential material has been retained and will be taught to each Hope Creek staff member assigned to one or more of the sixty one emergency response organization positions. Following review of the lesson plans, the inspector concluded that the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(15) and Planning Standard 0 of NUREG-0654 and the general policy statements of Sections 16.2 and 16.2.1 of the FSAR are me Based on these findings, this item is close (0 pen) 50-354/85-40-05: Emergency Preparedness Training for the Hope Creek Staff was incomplet During the 12-16 August 1985 appraisal, it was determined only 17% of the 350 person Hope Creek staff had been fully trained in the Emergency Preparedness program. It was further determined that no senior manager holding a key emergency response organization position had been fully trained. At that time, applicant indicated the Hope Creek staff requiring Emergency Preparedness Training would be trained by the end of 198 During this inspection, it was determined that:

-

150 Hope Creek personnel had been fully qualified;

-

no senior manager ha: been fully qualified;

,

? .

'

-

no qualified individuals were available to fill ten'of the emergecicy response organization positions. These ten positions include the Emergency Response Manager (EOF director), Emergency Duty Officer (TSC director) and those responsible for directing dose assessment '

in the TSC and EO the training records system was in a transitional phase and was not particularly reliable The inspectors concluded that the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, Section F had not been met and that a schedule must be developed for full implementation of the EP training program. A meeting was held subsequent to the team inspection on February 19, 1986 at the Hope Creek Generating Station to discuss the apolicant's schedule for completing the training for key emergency response organization managers and for providing 24-hour

-

staffing capability in all other emergency response positions. The appli-cant has committed (in a letter of February 21, 1986 to NRC/NRR) to provide a fully trained primary designate and two alternates for each of the key

'

,

emergency response positions by fuel load and to provide the capability to staff all emergency response organization positions continuously prior to exceeding 5% of. full power operation. The applicant has also committed to informing NRC Region I monthly of progress toward the completion of training.

l This item remains open pending completion of the applicant's commitments 1- to attain 24-hour emergency response organization staffing capability prior to exceeding 5% of full power.

l (Closed) 50-354/85-40-06: Training program transfe The Emergency Preparedness training program has been transferred both administrative 1y and functionally to the PSE&G Nuclear Training Center (NTC) effective January 1, 1986. During the August 1985 appraisal, the inspectors expressed a concern for maintaining the continuity and effec-tiveness of the EP training program during the transfer due to a large turnover (elimination of many contract instructors) planned for the transfer.

!

The NTC staff now consists of two full-time trainners. One is a fully qualified trainer and has been an NTC staff member for a number of years engaged in Health Physics training. He lacks training and experience in l emergency preparedness and reactor design and operation. The other

. individual was transferred from the Emergency Preparedness group and is i undergoing trainer qualification training. Both report to the Senior l Radiation Protection Supervisor. The individuals are assigned to Nuclear l

The Emergency Preparedness Department will continue to support NTC by providing support services including two or three trainers. This arrangement is essential to allow training in Event and Emergency Classification, Core Damage and Recovery to be satisfactorily given by experienced individuals. The NTC may pursue a policy of developing on staff capability in these areas or adding to staff. Members of the Emergency Preparedness Department staff will prepare scenerios and conduct team, facility and site training drill The inspectors concluded that the present arrangement and staffing is satisfactory provided the applicant commits the resources to qualify current staff or add staf Based on these findings, this item is close (Closed) 50-354/85-40-07: Development of instructor qualificaticn criteri The PSE&G Nuclear Training Center policy is to have " trained and qualified trainers with appropriate documentation to support qualification."
