SUBJECT:
OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 92-2 We have completed our review of the subject submittal.
Based on our review, we have concluded that three of the changes were inconsistent with the previous NRC approved Crisis Management Plan and/or guidance in NUREG-0654.
The items were discussed between C. Jennings of your staff and A. Gooden of the Region II staff during teleconference calls in May 1993. The inconsistencies are discussed in the Enclosure. You should not continue to implement the changes deemed inconsistent. Please modify your Plan to correct the appropriate pages. We request that the corrections be provided to us within 45 days of the date of this letter. It is our understanding that the appropriate changes resolving the inconsistencies will be incorporated into a Plan revision during July 1993. If your understanding on this matter is different from that discussed, please contact this office immediately.
Should you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Mr. Kenneth P. Barr of our staff at (404) 331-0335.

ENCLOSURE PLAN INCONSISTENCIES A.
Onsite Emergency Organization Page B-2, Section B.4, Functional Responsibilities of the Emergency Coordinator The referenced section discussed the role and responsibility of the Emergency Coordinator and EOF Director in making protective action recommendations to the State and county agencies. This responsibility was identified as non-delegatable.
Various sections of the Plan and Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures infer that there are additional responsibilities which are vested solely with the Emergency Coordinator or EOF Director and hence are non-delegatable. Two examples are: 1) Emergency Plan Figures B-5 (Emergency Coordinator Duties) and 8-6 (Emergency Operations Facility Director) states "Escalate, de-escalate, terminate emergency classification." 2) Implementing Procedures RP/O/A/5000/02 thru RP/O/A/5000/05, Section 2 (Immediate Actions) includes "NOTE: Emergency Coordinator shall complete Item 16 when message is approved for transmission." The required approval of the Emergency Coordinator at line item 16 on the Emergency Notification Form signify responsibility for event classification and notification. The aforementioned responsibilities are examples which should be clearly defined to avoid ambiguity regarding who is in charge as various facilities become operational and what responsibilities may not be delegated (e.g.
event classification, event escalation, reduction, or closeout).
Non-delegatable responsibilities were discussed with a member of your staff (C. Jennings) during April and May 1993. A commitment was made to include as non-delegatable responsibilities, in addition to protective action recommendations (PARs), event classification, notification, and event escalation/de escalation/termination in the next Plan revision.

Public Information and Education Page G-1, Section G.1/G.2, Public Information - Public Brochure This section, previously discussed in the Crisis Management Implementing Procedure (CMIP) and the Crisis Management Plan, was transferred to the referenced sections of the site Plan. The previous public information program commitments for the transient population stated: "The public information program for the transient population will include signs or stickers posted in places where the transient population are likely to be found.
This will include motels, hotels, police stations, fire stations, public libraries, post offices, lake access areas and Duke Power Company retail offices." The revised Plan commitment deleted the reference to use of signs as follows: "The public information program for the transient population will consist of several full-
Enclosure size emergency planning brochures/calendars and special transient brochures. They will be located at motels, hotels, police stations, fire stations, public libraries, post offices, marinas and Duke Power local retail offices."
The implementation of a special transient brochure is considered a Plan improvement. However, discontinued use of signs around recreational areas and/or lake access areas is considered a decrease in the effectiveness of your capability to provide appropriate information to the transient population within the EPZ that may be helpful in the event of an emergency. The referenced deletion was discussed with a member of your staff on May 24, 1993, as a decrease in the effectiveness of the transient notification and public information program around recreational areas when compared to NUREG-0654,Section II.G.2, or the previous Plan. A commitment was made to reinstate the previous Plan description regarding the use of signs.
C.
Exercises and Drills Page N-1, Sections N.1a and N.1b, Exercises The previous Plan commitments for exercise st&rting time was found in Section N of the Crisis Management Plan and read as follows:
"The exercises will be initiated at various times of the day, but in every six year period, one exercise at each station will begin between 6:00 P.M. and 4:00 A.M."
The revised Plan does not address the exercise starting time, and is therefore inconsistent in meeting the previous Plan commitment and guidance in NUREG-0654,Section II.N.1.b. The referenced omission/deletion was discussed with a member of your staff on May 25, 1993. A commitment was made to reinstate the appropriate details during the next Plan revision."
