SUBJECT:
VIRGIL C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION - RESPONSE TO UNRESOLVED
ISSUE - NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-395/2001-09
Dear Mr. Byrne:
Thank you for your letter of January 9, 2002 (Serial Number RC-01-1839), in which you
provided comments to our unresolved item issued on November 28, 2001, with NRC Inspection
Report 50-395/2001-09.
In your letter, you stated that neither of the two simulator scenarios observed by the NRC team
during the inspection was of a nature that required immediate entry into Fire Emergency
Procedure FEP-4.0, Control Room Evacuation Due to Fire. You further stated that, in both
scenarios, the operators acted in accordance with managements expectations, as they were
trained, and with due regard for plant risk associated with abandoning the control room. We will
review your comments during our evaluation of this unresolved item.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be
available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the
Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs Document system (ADAMS). ADAMS
is accessible from the NRC web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public
Electronic Reading Room).
Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact us.
Sincerely,
/RA/
