(Closed) Open Items ~440/85009-07; 441/85007-07: Stocking and.

Operability of the medical treatment first-aid facility.

Documents indicated that.the stocking of the in plant'first aid room was completed on March 7, 1986.

The contractor first aid facility in

.the Project Support Area has since been upgraded and equipped as a-Site' Dispensary, staffed with a Registered Nurse and an Emergency Medical Technician. With'the establishment of.the Site Dispensary, the: Medical. Aid Room was discontinued.

' Activations of the Emergency Plan

.f The. licensee has had three. actual' activations of the emergency Plan since

- the last inspection, two Unus'ual Events (UEs), and one Alert '

.

,

a.

On March' 2, ~1987, at 3:19 a.m., the reactor' and" turbine tripped due l

to' low water level-(Level.3). - The High Pressure Core Spray (HPCS)'

t system initiated at approximatelycthe same time, when the reactor water level reached Level 2.

At approximately 3:45 a.m., an Unusual Event was properly declared, based on " Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) initiation with flow to the '. vessel." Notification times were as follow:

Ashtabula County 3:54 a.m.

Geauga County 3:55 a.m.

'

Lake County 3:56 a.m.

State of Ohio 4:03 a.m.

l US~ Coast Guard 4:08 a.m.

l NRC-4:23 a.m.

' Notification of the State of Ohio was not completed until 4:03 a.m.

'

due to telephone ~ difficulties (primary and secondary State telephone numoers were not manned at the time).

The delay in reaching the

,

State of Ohio' delayed subsequent notification of the Coast Guard.-

!

Notification times were therefore considered acceptable.

The Unusual Event was terminated at 4:35.a.m. when reactor water level had been restored by the activation of HPCS and the restart of a motor-driven reactor feed pump, allowing de-activation of HPCS and stabilization of. reactor water level. A News Release was issued by the licensee.

The inspector reviewed documentation associated with.the event, including a chronological description of actions during the event, Unusual Event checklist, initial and termination notification forms, pager message forms, notification log and Event Summary Report, and found them to be acceptable.

In addition, Surveillance 87-063,

" Unusual Event of March 2, 1987" and the response to the surveillance was reviewed and found to be acceptable.

b.

On March 16, 1987, at 9:14 p.m., Control Room alarm annunciators were lost when an electrical bus was inadvertently de-energized by a plant operator accidentally dropping a tool on a circuit breaker.

The operator contacted the Control Room, advised them of his actions, and was directed to close the circuit breaker.

At 9:19 p.m., power was restored to the annunciators.

An Alert was properly declared, per the Emergency Action Levels, at 9:20 p.m.

' State of Ohio 9:38~p.m.

.

..US Coast Guard 9:42 p.m.

.NRC 9:34 p.m.-

L Notification times were reduced for this event due to 'he

'

t

availability' of a' five-way dedicated telephone line. The State

of Ohio did not answer the five-way line, and the. State of Ohio Disaster Service Agency Answering service was contacted-via L

commercial telephone line.. Notification'of the U3-Coast Guard was L

somewhat delayed by calling the. State of 0hio via commercial line.

.

Notification. times were considered acceptable.

The Alert was terminated at 9:54 p.m...as power had.been restored to the Control Room Alarm annunciators. The Technical Support Center (TSC) and Operations' Support Center (OSC) were not activated, based on the Emergency Coordinator's (Shift Supervisor) judgement. As the event was essentially terminated prior to classification, this

'

decision was considered acceptable. A press release was made by the'

licensee.

l The inspector reviewed documentation associated with the event, including the Alert checklist, initial and termination notification

. forms, pager message. forms, and Event' Summary Report, and _found them.

to be acceptable.

In addition, Surveillance 87_-077, " Alert of

. March 16, 1987" was reviewed and found to be acceptable.

c.

On September 9, 1987, during a periodic test, a reactor. feed pump

'!

was tripped, causing the feed control system'to increase flow from other feed pumps. The increased feed pump flow increased reactor water level to.the, trip setpoint, tripping the' reactor,.which caused a reactor water. level decrease, and an inadvertent' initiation of the High: Pressure Coolant System. An Alert was properly declared, per the Emergency Action Levels, at 8:36'p.m.

Notification times were as follow:

Ashtabula County 8:45 p.m.

Geauga County 8:45 p.m.

Lake County 8:45 p.m.

State of Ohio 8:53 p.m.

US Coast Guard 9:09 p.m.

NRC 9:02 p.m.

t Notification times were considered to be acceptable, but it was noted that the notification to the US Coast Guard could have been more prompt.

Notifications and Communications (82203)

.,

i

The inspector reviewed the licensee's emergency notification system as described.in EPI-B1 (Revision 5 with TCNs 1, 2 and 4).

It was noted that

!

in order.to prevent compromise of the message authentication-scheme, the-initial and follow-up notification forms (Forms:

EPI-B1-2b and EPI-B1-3b)

!

have been changed. The forms now show the telephone numbers of the.

,

Control Room, TCS and EOF, precluding the necessib af giving the state J

and counties these. numbers over the telephone.

l The inspector reviewed the instructions and test results '(last six months)

for the following telephone equipment monthly tests:

Dedicated Lines (PTI-R50-P0001)

l PBX (Site)-

(PTI-R55-P0001)

OPX (CEI)

(PTI-RS6-P0001)

Radios (RMT)

(PTI-R57-P0001)

i Pagers (PTI-Gen-P0003)

!

With a few minor exceptions, the tests of telephone circuits and radios

' indicated no problems.

Documentation related.to pager testr was also reviewed.

It was noted that the tests were conducted at the same time each month (day and hour),

!

and out.of the 18 pagers tested on each occasion, on the average, there

were at least'three follow-ups per test.

These follow-ups were required i

'due to pagers not being physically with the individuals, pagers set on I

" silent" mode, pagers failing to work, etc..It was further noted that,

'

on the days of the observed exercise and the semi-annual augmentation drill, only.one or no pager follow-ups were required. This point is discussed further in the section on Shift Staffing and Augmentation.

The inspector observed an unannounced test of the back-up communications circuits in the EOF.

This test verified the operability of back-up equipment at that location as well as the validity of back-up telephone l

numbers for the State and counties. The licensee, through experience, has-found it necessary to verify the back-up numbers monthly, and this is tracked on the repetitive task program.

No errors were noted.

Emergency Detection and Classification (82201)

Section 4.0, Table 4.1 of the PNPPEP details the Emergency Action Levels (EALs).

Differences in the format and content were noted between the EALs in the PNPPEP and the implementing instruction (EPI-la)during the previous inspection.

This has been corrected, and the EALs in-the EPIPS and the Plan are alike, with the exception that the EALs.in the Plan do I

not refer to specific instrument nomenclature or Technical Specification l

. numbers.

.,

Walkthroughs were conducted with three personnel assigned to the Perry

,

emergency program. Walkthroughs consisted of questions relating to each

!

individuals res' possibilities, and the classification of.several BWR scenarios as presented by the inspector. All personnel were knowledgeable of their responsibilities and adequately demonstrated (as appropriate) the use of Perry Emergency Procedures.

It was noted in the previous inspection that responsibility for classifying j

an action level was not listed as a'non-delegable responsibility for the

'

Emergency Coordinator.

The procedure.now properly specifies that classification of events is a non-delegable responsibility assigned to the Emergency Coordinator.

Protective Actions and Guides EPI-88, was reviewed.

This instruction provides that the Emergency Coordinator is responsible for approval of all protective action recommendations.

Protective Action Recommendations are developed by the Offsite Radiation Advisor and the Radiation Protection Assistant, based on Offsite Oose Calculations (procedure EPI-B7) and Radiation Monitoring Team reports. The procedure includes a benefit analysis of sheltering vs. evacuation.

Changes to the Program (82204)

l-K Through discussions with licensee Emergency Planners and random reviews of selected procedures, facilities and equipment, the inspectorLverified'

that-no major' changes have been made to the licensee's program since the last inspection.

The inspector reviewed documentation which indicated that the~ Radiological,

!

Environmental and Chemistry Subcommittee had reviewed changes to-the i

Emergency Plan and comments received. Also' reviewed were letters

.

<

documenting that the Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels (EALs)

!

had been sent to State-and local officials for their review and comment.

Responses from each agency were on file.

The. Supervisor, Emergency Preparedness Unit, is directly responsible for

.

supervising'nine~ Emergency Planners in the maintenance and coordination of the program.. The inspectors interview with licensee representatives-i verified that there' had been no significant changes in the organization or assignment of' responsibilities for the Emergency Plan Or9 nization since.the last inspection.

The interviews also revealed '.o significant changes in the organization ' f offsite agencies'since the last

o inspection.

J Discussions with emergency preparedness personnel indicated that numerous l

minor improvements have been made to the program.

These improvements include:

an upgrading of forms (to condense their size and for human

,

factors considerations), status board upgrades in the TSC and EOF,

<

addition of-an " auto-broadcast" telefax machine with the capability for i

automatically telefaxing information to several parties, a pilot program to test a tone-alert /public address system for notifying personnel outside of. the plant proper (but onsite), development of a telephone module for the simulator Control room (to essentially duplicate equipment in the i

= Control Room), and re-organization of the TSC to locate dose projection j]

equipment to an adjacent room (for space and noise considerations).

Shift' Staffing and Augmentation (82205)

]

The inspector reviewed the licensee's normal and augmented manning as.

shown in the Emergency Plan. The number of individuals assigned and

their capabilities were judged to be adequate to meet the goals of--

!

-NUREG-0654.

t The licensee utilizes the annual exercise and semi-annual augmentation

- drills to evaluate his ability to meet augmentation time goals. Due to.

i several factors, the conclusions drawn from these exercise and drill results may not be. fully valid.

In the case of the annual evaluated exercise, the day.of the exercise was known and the exercise occurred

[

during the day-shift.

Unlike the average number of the pager follow-ups'

~!

experienced during the monthly tests, the data sheet for the exercise g

test indicated no follow-ups were required on the day of the. exercise.

Last November,1the licensee conducted his semi-annual augmentation drill as part of the monthly check of pagers (i.e., at 1900 hours0.022 days <br />0.528 hours <br />0.00314 weeks <br />7.2295e-4 months <br /> on the first Wednesday of the month).

In this case, there was only one pager follow-up l

'

required, compared to the usual average of three or more.

This suggests-

!

that the element of surprise was absent-from the exercise and drills.

No violations of regulatory requirements or deviations from commitments

!

were identified. However, the following item is recommended for j

improvement:

Conduct the semi-annual augmentation drills as pager checks

'

on unannounced dates at various times of.the day in order to obtain a more reasonable estimate of likely augmentation times.

9.

Knowledge and Performance of Duties (Training) (82206)

The inspector reviewed the licensee's program for training and qualifying i

personnel involved in the emergency preparedness program. A sample of individuals listed as qualified for given positions in the Emergency

'

Response Telephone Directory were interviewed and their training records were reviewed for completeness and compliance with the requirements specified in EPI-C3, Revision 1 (Emergency Preparedness Training Instruction). No errors were noted.

Several new, position specific training modules are in place. The inspector reviewed the following modules:

No violations of regulatory requirements or deviations from commitments j

were identified.

However, the following item is recommended for i

improvement:

]

i

-

- '

in each of the more senior, responsible EP positions and use this information in making future drill and exercise position assignments (actual and trainee)_to provide personnel with the maximum amount of'

practical training experience.

!

!

10. Dose Calculation and Assessment (82207)

.j The inspector reviewed the procedures for automated dose calculation I

(EPI-87a Revision.1, with TCN 1 and 2), manual dose calculation (EPI-B7b Revision 6), and protective actions and guides (EPI-8 Revision 4., with TCN 1, 2 and 3).

Further, as indicated in the section on Training, he reviewed the training modules applicable to dose calculation and assessment.

An individual from each group of EP positions currently l

responsible for dose calculation and protective action recommendations was interviewed - i.e., an Offsite Radiation Advisor, Radiation Protection Coordinator, Radiation Protection Assistant and a Shift-Technical Advisor.

The training records of these individuals were also reviewed to verify l

their qualification for the positions assigned. The instructions were considered complete and adequate.

The level of knowledge and qualification of those interviewed was excellent.

Individuals interviewed were well versed in the manual calculation and assessment procedures utilized as back-ups to the automated programs. They were able to demonstrate their ability to use the MIDAS program on the VAX and DOSEPROJ on the personal computer. A minor deficiency was that those interviewed were not always able to explain the reason for the

_

various default values used in the programs.

They demonstrated a good understanding of the information which they could expect to receive from

'

offsite monitoring teams and how this data could be used.

'11.

Licensee Audits (82210)

The licensee's procedures provide for conducting an independent annual audit of the Emergency Program.

In addition, the surveillance program, as applied to Emergency Plan: activities, was reviewed.

Perry Operations' Procedures (POP 0208, Revision 2, dated September 14,

.!

1987), in Section 3.9, indicated that the. Supervisor,. Emergency Planning Unit, is responsible for assuring that'an independent group performs _a detailed annual review of the Emergency Plan.

The Perry Quality Assurance (QA) Plan, Appendix A (Revision 4, dated March 18,' 1987) provides.for review of audits of the_PNPP Emergency Plan and implementing procedures by the Nuclear Safety Review. Committee.

Appendix E of the QA Plan (Revision 2, dated May 21,1987), provides'a

!

. matrix indicating which sections'of QA Plan requirements lare applied to emergency planning activities. An annual. audit of emergency planning I-activities is scheduled.

The annual Emergency Plan Audits follow the standard audit pattern, which provides for_ the production of an Audit Plan, review and_ approval of'the

!

Audit Plan, development of an Audit Checklist, and notification cognizant personnel of a pending audit.. Audit findings are' classified as Action Requests (ARs), or Corrective Action Requests. Audits may also contain Open Items, Observations, and Recommendations, a

i The inspector reviewed the 1987 Emergency Preparedness Program Audit Report (" Emergency Plan," Audit PIO 87-13) dated June 30, 1987, which

!

' documented an audit conducted on May 13, 1987, and May 26 through June 18, 1987. The audit was performed by a four person audit team, and appeared

!

to be quite detailed and comprehensive.

One Audit Request (AR001) was generated as a result of the audit, which found that the Semi-annual j

Health Physics drill had not been conducted during the second half of

1986.

Corrective action involved improving the tracking of drills _and I

clearly assigning responsibility for coordinating drills.

Corrective j

actions had been completed prior to the audit's issuance.
