The inspectors observed activation, staffing, and operation of the emergency l response facilities, and evaluated the equipment provided for emergency use during the exercis Control Room - The inspector observed that following review and analysis of the sequence of accident events, Control Room operations personnel acted promptly to initiate required responses to the

!.. simulated emergenc Emergency . procedures were readily available, routinely followed, and factored into accident assessment and mitigation exercise Control Room personnel involvement was essentially limited to those personnel assigned routine and special operational duties. Effective management of personnel gaining access to the Control Room precluded overcrowding, and maintained an ambient noise level required for orderly conduct of operations under emergency conditions.

. The Shift Supervisor and the Control Room operators were cognizant of

.

their duties, responsibilities, and authoritie Control Room

! personnel demonstrated an understanding of the emergency classification t

system and the proficient use of specific procedures to determine and declare the proper emergency classificatio It was observed that data and information provided as the scenario's

'

initial sequence of accident events and conditions were readily interpreted by the Control Room staff and factored into comencing the exercise in a timely manner. the Control Room staff demonstrated the capability to effectively assess the initial conditions and implement required mitigating action The inspector also observed, however, that no formal control room log was maintained following transfer of-the Emergency Director's log to the Technical Support Center. This observation was discussed with licensee representatives as a suggested

.

improvemen Control Room and emergency response facility logs which

'

chronicle accident conditions and corresponding mitigating actions,

including required notifications and protective action recommendations, assume legal significance during actual emergencie No violations or deviations were identified.

. Technical Support Center - The TSC was activated and staffed following notification by the Emergency Director of the simulated emergency

{ conditions leading to the Alert classificatio The facility staff appeared to be cognizant of their emergency duties, authorities, and j responsibilitie Required operation of the facility ?roceeded in an

orderly manner. The TSC was provided with adequatr nuipment for i support of the assigned staff. TSC security was promptly established and maintained.

During operation of the TSC, radiological habitability was routinely l monitore Status boards and related visual aids were strategically

- located to facilitate viewing by the TSC staff. Dedicated comuni- j cators were assigned to the facility and all required notification ,

were promptly implemented. Status boards were frequently updated as

, plant conditions and parameters changed.

, Inspection disclosed the following additional findings, namely:

(1) engineering, maintenance, and other technical support functions were readily implemented and factored into problem solving exercises; (2) assumption of duties by the Emergency Director was definite and firm; (3) transfer of certain emergency responsibilities from the Control Room to the TSC was firmly declared and announced to the TSC staff; (4) briefings of the TSC staff were frequent, and consistent

,

with changes in plant status and related emergency conditions; and (5) TSC controllers were effective in identifying minor scenario problems and interacted with players without prompting.

i Inspection also disclosed that the initial and followup offsite i notification messages attending the Alert and Site Area Emergency

^

classifications did not report that a release was in progress resulting from an open containment access hatch. Releases and the source thereof should be included in initial and all followup messages as required by

,

Attachment IV of emergency preparedness Procedure EPP-10-S-01- The initial notification message for the NOUE cited breach of containment integrity and the cause thereof. Thereafter, problems with containment

were not reported to offsite authorities until repairs were initiated during termination of the exercis '

The mission of team, however, was accomplished, and data was reported to the OS This item was discussed with the licensee as a suggested improvement; i.e., to assure that each tei.m dispatched from the OSC is provided with a cognizant controlle Emergency Operations Facility -

Consistent with the exercise objectives, the E0F was promptly staffed and activated following declaration of the Site Area Emergenc The Emergency Director demonstrated effective management and control of the facility. The staff was frequently updated regarding plant status and progress in accident mitigatio Communications between the E0F and TSC were effective. Exchange of technical information and frequent consultation with the TSC was routinely implemented by the staff Dose assessment and projections were effectively performe The dose assessment group demonstrated proficiency in both manual and computerized dose assessmen Close contact between assessment groups in the EOF and TSC were maintained. Offsite dose projections were accurate and performed in a timely manner. Results were incorporated in followup notification messages which originated from the radio-logical assessment group. The dose assessment staff demonstrated a significant commitment to training throughout the exercis Access and contamination control were effectively maintained throughout the exercise. Notification of participating offsite agencies was consistently performed in a timely manne No violations or deviations were identifie . Accident Assessment (82301)

This area was observed to assure that adequate methods, systems, and equipment for assessing and monitoring actual or potential offsite consequences of a radiological emergency condition were in use as required by 10 CFR 50.47(b)(9), Paragraph IV.B of Appendix E to 10 CFR 50, and specific guidance promulgated in Section II.I of NUREG-065 The accident assessment program included an engineering assessment of plant status, and an assessment of radiological hazards to onsite and offsite personnel resulting from the accident. During the exercise, the engineering accident assessment team functioned effectively in analyzing plant status and providing recommendations to the Emergency Director regarding mitigating actions required to reduce damage to plant systems and equipment, prevention and/or control of radioactive releases, and prompt termination of the emergency conditio . . .- -

.

Radiological assessment activities involved several groups. An inplant group was effective in projecting the radiological impact within the plant based upon inplant monitoring and onsite measurements. Offsite radiological monitoring teams were dispatched to determine the level of radioactivity in areas within the path of the plume. Radiological effluent data was received in the TSC and E0F where dose calculations were computed and factored into the exercise. All resultant data were consistent with projected scenario parameter Offsite radiological monitoring teams (0MT) were staged and later dispatched from the site access point (SAP). Frequent OMT briefings were provided by the SAP Coordinator regarding plant status, meteorological data, and periodic request for personnel dosimetry readings. Radio communications between the OMTs, SAP, and EOF was of high quality throughout the exercis OMT personnel training cards were checked and verified prior to deploymen Additionally, personnel biosensitivity to potassium iodide (KI) was checked prior to assignment / deployment. OMT personnel demonstrated familiarity with sampling locations and routine map readin The following items requiring improvement were identified by licensee and NRC observers, namely: delay in activation of the SAP; delay in deployment of OMTs; breach of contamination control practices by Red Team's donning of protective clothing after exiting the SAP. The inspector also observed the Red Team's failure to monitor and estimate beta dose as required by Procedure EPP-10-14, Rev. 6. Based on this finding, IFI 50-416/85-04-02 remains open, and will be reviewed during subsequent inspections. These items were discussed during the licensee's Controller /0bserver critique and the NRC/ Licensee Critiqu The inspector assigned to the Red Team (OMT) observed that a habitability survey was conducted in the SAP sign-in area. It was also observed that routine surveys of the entire SAP as required by Sections 6.4.2 of EPP 10-S-01-17, and 6.3 of EPP 10-S-01-15 were not conducte Inspector Followup Item 50-416/86-40-03: Failure to conduct periodic habitability surveys of the entire SAP consistent with requirements of Procedures EPP 10-S-01-17 and EPP 10-S-01-1 This item was discussed with licensee representatives prior to and during the exercise critiqu The licensee committed to implement corrective action No violations or deviations were identifie . Protective Response (82301)

This area was observed to determine that guidelines established for protective actions consistent with federal guidance, were developed and in place, and that protective actions for emergency workers including evacuation of non-essential personnel, are promptly implemented pursuant te 10 CFR 50.47(b)(10) and specific guidance promulgated in NUREG-065 .- - __. _ . _ . _ _ _ _ . _ . - .. .
