P*ee t of 2 l \\ . O t Natlee of Violaties 97-06-03 10 CFR 50.54(q) states that a licensee authorized to possess and operate a h nuclear power reactor shall ibliow and maintain in effect emergency plans which i meet the standards in 50.47(b) ano. he requirements in Appendi= E of this part.
j ,, Appe\\dix A to Grand Gulf Nuclear Station Emergency Plan, List of Procedures L! .. that Implement the Emergency Plan, includes Procedure 01-S 10-6, "Umergency ' ' ' Response Organization."
I i ' ! Pmcedure 01-S-10-0, ' Emergency Response Organiration," Revision 7, requires that personnel annigned to the einergency response organization must, during the scheduled on-call period, emure that they st; aval!able to respond within the required time. Procedure 01 S-10-6 also requires that personnel assigned to the ); t emergency response organtration must, if circumstances prohibit respome within !!jI - 9 the rtquired times, ensure that an alternate (from the same emergency response ' position) has agreed to and is available for emergency respome coverage, and i, ,, rotify Emergency Preparedness of the arrangements made, + . Contbry to the above, on April 24, 1997, the licensee failed to ensure that a " ' qualifled individual was available to respond for the emergency response orgarAzation position of Offsite Emergency Coordinator, nis is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement Vill)(50-416/9706 03)- ' , t.

IL The Reason for the Violation. If Ad=ltted h On April 23}1997, the on-call Offsite Emergency Coordinator (OEC) discussed the SAlf n presentation, ' hich was to occur the next day in Arlington, Texas, with his departmental technical d w assistant. During this discussion, the on-call OEC recognized that he needed a stand-in for his j Emergency Response Organization (ERO) position the next day since he would be away from the - ~ This discussion occurred aAer normal working hours when the personnel he needed to area.
check with w unavailable.
y C During this discussion there were only three people identified on the call out list as being a
qualified OEC: the on-call OEC and two other individuals who were also going to be out of the immediate area on the 24th, Other Alternates were then considered and two possible candidates
p were determined worth following up on. It was concluded that this was all that could be done y r.nd an action item was ich with the Tech. Assistant to check with EP and the possible Alterrate OEC on April 24,1997, to make sure they knew he was filling the OEC position < I ! ! x . l ! !

,,. A...chment I to CNRO sr/n0057 ,, g Page 2 of 2 6- ,O On the mok of April 24,1997, HP was called and it was determined that the individ,unt w _ was going to be informed he was filling the position was not certilled as qualified by flie k!OF ' l'acility Process Owner. At approximately 0930 that day, a condition report was generated to identify that bo qualified OEC was available. In addition, because the selected allemate lind met all the qualifications and training except the signature from the EOF Facility Process (hvner. EF
m generated n memo (GIN 97/00884) to docuraent that the Alternate OEC was qu=Idje<l by es experience atid appointment, flowever they failed to realize that approval was needed fium the EOF Facility; Process Owner prior to deviating firom requirements.
'l - i The root cause of the condition was personnel error in that upon finding out the statu'i of;the proposed attemates an innppropriate decision was made. There was not time to reach tir tlEC i j before his flight nor time for obtaining written appmval firom the EOF Facility Process Owr.er R ' qualifying of waiving normal training requirements for the Alternate OEC. Consequently a ,, condition report was written for provisionally accepting hirn as an alternate r " *' ,,e OEC pmition.
l b :y r Contributing!Causes of the deficiency are: , N The Altemate OEC was complete on his qualification, except that the Facility Process -[
Owner had not signed off on his qual card approving him for on-esil status.
EP failed to contact the EOF Facility Process Owner via telephone /pager to obtain p[[1
virbal approval of the Alternate OEC for OEC position.
I .~f.P 015-10-6 does not allow signature authority for Facility Process Owners _to be j e .. , delegated to other Management personnel (e.g. Manager, Emergency Preparedness, !
