The licensee had completed a number of. actions to' ensure that the E0F was adequately accessible and maintained. The licensee-had changed ~the locks so that all areas of the facility could be accessed with a singl ke The licensee also established a controlled set of. drawings for the=
facility and designated the facility as a generating facility via PAP-0302, Revision 0. November 13,-1992 to ensure they were mattitaine . ..

Additionally, the licensee trained security personnel on alarm responses to the E0F. This item is close (Closed) Unresolved Item f(o. 440/92008-021 The inspector identified that the periodic test instructions, Pil-M52-P0003 and PTI-M53-P0002, for the emergency heating ventilation and air cond_itioning (HVAC)
systems in the EOF and TSC, respectively, had not been implemented in accordance with indicated frequency of the procedure. The procedure stated the frequency to be 366 days; however, records indicated that a period of 18 and 16 months had elapsed prior to the latest tests of the E0F and TSC systems, respectively. Additionally, the EOF system had failed the test instruction on 10/2/91 and 3/29/90 without a l re-performance of the test instruction as required. The licensee was to '
provide additional information, not available at the time of the j inspection, including justification for_ delaying the testing, documentation for followup testing, and any followup corrective action The licensee's response and further discussions indicated that the periodic test instructions were not pro >erly implemented, as noted above. The responsible engineer made tie decision to delay the test instruction but did not initiate the proper method of justification and documentation required by the licensee's procedure, PAP-Il0 Additionally, the failures of the E0F's ventilation system were corrected via work requests; however, the system was not fully retested nor was a test verification sheet completed as required by the procedure. Both systems were successfully retested via the PTis in May and September of 1992 for the EOF and TSC, respectively. Finally, the engineers noted that the test instruction required a specific test which was beyond the basis of the system and, subsequently, caused the system to fail the test instruction. Although the inadequacy was first determined in March of 1990, it had not been corrected. Since the licensee's Technical Specification 6.8.1.b require the implementation and maintenance of procedures PTI-M53-P0002 and PTI-MS2-P0003 to meet the requirements of NUREG-0737 and its supplements, this is a violation (Violation No. 50-440/92023-01).
In order to correct these problems and prevent recurrence, the licensee had raised their staff's level of attention to these periodic-test instructions through training and tracking systems and revised the test instructions. The licensee provided training to all System Engineering Section engineers to address the failure to properly implement periodic test instructions and to instruct them on the proper methods of delaying the performance of the instructions. The licensee also implemented a tracking system which provided all department-managers with a listing of pTIs which have not been completed as required. The listing should increase managements level of involvement in ensuring .that the PTIs have been properly implemented. Finally, a Quality Assurance surveillance was completed on July 31, 1992, which verified that the corrective actions had been effective and that PTIs were properly being implemente . . _ _ . _ _ _ . _ . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . . _ -. _ _ _

The licensee also revised both PTis to adequately address the performance basis of the system. An appro1riate engineering evaluation i was completed to address the adequacy of t1e PTis and identify the ;
changes necessary. These revisions included the removal of a smoke !
stick test and the addition of several damper position verification In response to the inspector's concerns for changing the test frequency, 3 the licensee also committed to performing abbreviated tests of the ;
system during all of the emergency preparedness drills and exercise These tests will be documented and will have defined criteria for ;
successful completion. Discussions with the licensee indicated that !
these abbreviated tests would be effective in determining system '
performance and would be followed with the ap)ropriate level of testing if the system was malfunctioning. Based on tiese corrective actions, ;
the violation is close !
One violation was identifie .

An announced, daytime exercise of the Perry Nuclear Power Plant's emergency plan was conducted at the Perry site on December 9,1992. The exercise tested the capabilities of the licensee's emergency !
organization to respond to an accident scenario involving the simulated !
release of radioactive effluent. The attachments to this inspection -
report summarize the licensee's scape of participation and the exercise scenario, ! General Observations (IP 82301)
The licensee's response was coordinated, orderly and timely. If the scenario events had been real, the actions taken by the licensee would have been sufficient to mitigate the accident and permit state and local authorities to take appropriate actions to protect the public's health ;

The SS, acting as emergency coordinator (EC), demonstrated good command and control. 1he SS properly directed plant activities to i mitigate the scenario events. After the loss of CRS annunciators, the SS was very aware of the need to avoid plant transients. When confronted with the Limiting Condition of Operation (LCO) for the '
failure to isolate the containment purge system, the SS requested for his staff to be doubled if a plant shutdown was necessary. He was not in favor of such an evolution, but he identified his needs
-
should a plant shutdown be initiate The communications into the CRS were-adequat The CRS staff had a practice of reducing the volume of the plant public aodress (PA)
system to eliminate distractions from normal plant announcement However, this reduced the staff s ability to monitor the announcements made in other facilities. Additionally, the information concerning the simulated fire and contaminated injured aerson in the Intermediate Building was slow in reaching the CR Iowever, the CRS staff demonstrated good follow up of the status ;
of these event No violations or deviations were identified, b. Jechnical Support Center (TSC)
'
The TSC staff demonstrated a very good response to the scenario events. Personnel quickly identified degrading plant conditions and properly impicmented the emergency plan. Site assembly and accountability was completed within the licensee's 30 minute time goa The TSt. staff activated the facility in a very timely manne The staff was well coordinated and followed appropriate activation procedures. A formal announcement of the activation was r.1ade by the operations manager (OH) at the time of the declared activatio The OM, acting as EC, demonstrated good command and control .of emergency actions.. Command and control'was-properly passed from the SS to the OH once the OM was properly briefed and the TSC was staffed. The OM established priorities for-plant activities _and pursued the completion of those activities. The engineering staff _
provided good technical support and recommendations to the O The OM declared the Site Area Emergency (SAE) in!1ess than five minutes following the initiating event, which was the trip of the reactor feed pump turbine. The notification of the declaration was'made in a timely manner to the state and counties.- The notifications- appeared ' complete and correct. However, one exception was noted in the first followup notification following the Alert declaration. The update notification incorrectly-indicated that nonessential site personnel had'been evacuate _ _ _ __. _____- _ - - _

'A This notification was quickly corrected by the communicato All subsequent notifications were accurate in conten Overall, the communication between the OH and TSC staff was goo The OM appeared to effectively communicate with his staff. They were aware of the current conditions and their current ~ course of action. On one occasion, the radiation protection coordinator (RPC) imposed a minor delay of the manual isolation of the fuel '
pool surge tank because of high radiation levels. The RPC improperly instructed the maintenance coordinator to delay the local closing of a manual isolation valve until remote closing of an electrical isolation valve was attempted. This was contrary to the repair priorities assigned by the OM and briefed to the TSC
'
staff. Once the OM realized the cause of the delay, he corrected the situation and approved radiation exposure extensions to initiate the task. Had the RPC informed the OM of the radiation concerns, this repair team could have been sont out more '
expeditiousl Some information was not effectively communicated to the TSC staff. The TSC staff was not notified of the obstruction at the plant exit caused by the simulated gravel spill. Although the shift security supervisor was cognizant of the occurrence, this information was not forwarded to the TSC staff. Information of .
'
this nature would be instrumental for site evacuation purposes and for obtaining assistance from offsite personnel. However, the security personnel mitigated the obstruction well and directed personnel to alternative exit The TSC staff failed to monitor the meteorology during the latter stages of the event. At 1330 hours0.0154 days <br />0.369 hours <br />0.0022 weeks <br />5.06065e-4 months <br />, the direction of the wind shifted from 29 degrees to 312 degree Since the E0F had-assumed the responsibility for offsite protective actions, there were no offsite consequences.

the TSC staff..-Generally, the staff monitored this data closel One minor exception occurred after the simulator had to be reset because it did not properly model the method by which the loss of coolant accident (LOCA)'was terminated. The staff did not recognize that the main steam isolation valves (MSIVs) were identified as "open" on the status boards and emergency response information system (ERIS). This would-have indicated that their efforts to inject water into the reactor vessel could have ,
resulted in flooding through the steam lines. However, personnel monitored other indicators which proved that this was not the case and that the MSIVs were closed.

The TSC staff held good recovery discussions. Radiation protection personnel were sensitive to ALARA concerns. They effectively worked together with maintenance to support repair effort No violations or deviations were identifie Operational Eupport Center (OSC) and Inplant Teams -
The OSC staff provided good support to effect repair activities to mitigate the scenario event Priorities were well maintained in the OSC. The OSC coordinator communicated frequently with the TSC staff. He verified priorities on a regular basis. Higher prior';ty teams appeared to be dispatched from the facility on a timely basis. However, the HP supervisor had some difficulty locating personnel who were not assigned to the main OSC area. Overall, these delays were minimal and did not effect team dispatc Briefings and debriefings of repair teams were very good. Team members were made very aware of their tasks and the associated health physics concerns. Returning teams also reported pertinent information to the health physics superviso Briefings of the OSC staff were not very frequent. The OSC director relied on the ISC's staff briefings, which were audible on the facility's PA system, to brief OSC staff. However, not all of the OSC personnel, specifically, personnel not in the main OSC area, could hear the PA announcements. These personnel should be briefed on the overall changes in plant conditions and changes in prioritie Team tracking was very good. Team status was well maintained on status boards. Information on status boards was accurate and updated in a very timely manner. Communications between re) air teams and other facilities was good, with one exception. T1e team assigned to replace a circuit breaker for the annunciators did not notify the CRS staff that they were ready for testing the breake Instead, they notified the engineer, assigned by the OSC to oversee the repair. This created a slight delay in completing the repai No viclations or deviations were identifie Medical Drill The licensees demonstration of the response to a contaminated injured person was goo The response team provided good care to the simulated contaminated injured person.

provided good first aid.to the victi The lead fBR maintained good command and control-at the accident scene. He directed personnel to perfotm necessary actions. At times the large number of responders and cumbersome location made this direction difficult.

attention. The RPIs immediately removed the radiation source from the scene to limit the person's exposure. The person was carefully moved from the area affected by the simulated fire, t Contamination control of the accident scene was adequate. Gloves were frequently distributed and changed. However, on one isolated instance the inspectors observed that a torn glove was worn by an RPT and another RPT handled the victim with the same glove worn for taking area surveys. Although the victim was not further contaminated, this presented the possibility of contaminating'the victim. After the victim was moved, a proper contamination boundary was established around the inju .i person. The key FBR violated the contamination boundary once; however, all other times personnel were monitored before entering the non-contaminated are The contaminated injured person was transported to the ambulance-crew in a safe and timely manner. A good briefing was then given to the ambulance crew of the victim's injuries and current condition No violations or deviations were identifie e. Emeraency Doerations Facility (EOF)
The demonstrated response of. the EOF'_ staff was ' excellen The EC demonstrated very good command and control of the E0F staff's response. The EC ensured that the staff were working on an identified' course of action, well informed of plant conditions, and achieving their tasks. Briefings of E0F' personnel were frequent-and detaile The EOF staff quickly and correctly assessed the operational conditi"s and made the proper event classifications.

Communications were a major strength of the facility. The EC made complete and' frequent-briefings to the E0F staff and government- .
officials. Two members of. the E0F staff, designated as government liaisons, ensured that the state and county representatives were .
obtaining necessary informatio !
Offsite dose assessment'was excellent.- The offsite. dos .
assessment advisor identified the need to make. instantaneous dose assessments, as opposed to the 15 minute averages performed by the ~I licensee's computer software, when plant conditions rapidly changed. The dose assessment staff also identified the wind shif at 1330 hours0.0154 days <br />0.369 hours <br />0.0022 weeks <br />5.06065e-4 months <br /> and informed the balance of the E0F staff of the change. Offsite monitoring team data was effectively used to verify dose projections. . All of the data was properly used to .
prepare protective action recommendations-in a timely manne The E0F staff maintained good control over offsite monitoring team Communications with the teams were very good. The teams were directed to areas which could be utilized to verify dose projections and assess the effect of changing meteorology. Team members' radiation exposure data was well maintained'.
Recovery actions were properly implemented in the E0F. The recovery director (RD) assembled a recovery-team as required-by

procedure. The RD and TSC staff assembled a comprehensive recovery plan which included current plant conditions, prioritized list of plant equipment in need of repair, and a list of outside assistance which may be necessary to effect repair No violations or deviations were identifie . .
