SUMMARY
Scope:
Thi s special,
announced inspection was conducted to deternine if
the current
status of the H. B. Robinson emergency preparedness program reflected
improvements from that observed during the November 20,
1991,
annual emergency
preparedness exercise.
This one-day inspection included observation of the
March 26,
1992,
Emergency Preparedness Combined Functional Drill, interviews
with emergency preparedness personnel, and review of selected procedural changes
being used during the drill to correct previous weaknesses.
An exit interview
was conducted the following morning.
Results:
The licensee was effective in demonstrating improved emergency response
performance during their Emergency Preparedness Combined Functional Drill in
the areas observed.
Because of the limited resources utilized in evaluating
this licensee drill, the closure of emergency preparedness open items will be
reserved for the annual graded exercise and the concomitant increased exercise
evaluation support. An exception to this was the inspector followup item for
exercise scenario control and complexity which is addressed in Paragraph 3.

2. Evaluation of Exercises for Power Reactors (82301)
The inspection objectives of this procedure are to assess the adequacy of
the licensee's emergency response program,
the implementation of the
emergency plan, the emergency implementing procedures,
and the training
program.
Because of the broad scope of the inspection objectives and the
limited resources available to the inspector (i.e., limited to observing
only one of the emergency response facilities at any time), the inspector
focused on the open items.
Since the open items addressed a number of
the planning standards and evaluation criteria for emergency response
(e.g., onsite emergency organization, emergency classification system,
2
notification methods and
procedures,
and protective response),
the
inspector was able to develop an. impression of the overall state of
emergency preparedness while specifically concentrating on the open
items.
In this respect, a favorable impression was evident as supported
by:
o
marked improvements in the areas identified as exercise weaknesses
during the November 1991 graded annual exercise;
o
a site commitment to an improved program as reflected by the
performance and attitude of emergency organization players during the
combined functional drill; and
0
no new areas of weakness or concern observed during the drill.
3.
Followup (92701)
(Closed)
IFI 50-261/91-26-01:
Improve exercise scenario control and
coordination including scenario length and complexity.
The licensee
provided a complete exercise scenario for this drill.
The drill events
were sufficiently complex and of adequate duration to meet exercise
objectives. The controller organization was knowledgeable and coordinated
well in providing player data and keeping events on schedule.
4. Exit Interview
The inspection scope and findings were summarized on March 27,
1992, with
those persons indicated in Paragraph 1 above. The inspector described the
areas inspected by reviewing objectives numbered 17-22 on Attachment 1.
The inspection results were presented by reviewing the inspector's
observations against the
above objectives with the exception of
objective 20 for which no direct observations were made. The observations
in support of the other objectives all indicated that significant progress
had been made in correcting the previous exercise weaknesses.
In the
case of objective 21,
the observations indicated the draft procedure used
during the drill warranted consideration for implementation.
The
licensee did not identify as proprietary any of the material provided to
or reviewed by the inspector.
Dissenting comments were not received
from the licensee.
Attachment
No.
