Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-269/93-18, 50-270/93-18, AND
50-287/93-18
Thank you for your response of August 17, 1993, to our Exercise Weakness,
issued on July 16, 1993, concerning activities conducted at your Oconee
facility.
.During
a teleconference between Duke Power (C.
Jennings) and NRC (K.
Barr) on
September 16, 1993, we were informed that you normally include exercise issues
in your training program.
The additional information in your response concerning thE Inspector Followup
Items will be reviewed as part of our close out of those items. Regarding
your comments on your notification process, we agree there is no regulatory
time specified for declaring events. However, as described in our report,
several instances were observed where the actual time of event declaration
preceded the time of the signature of the Emergency Coordinator by several
minutes. In these cases, the Emergency Coordinator recognized this difference
and recorded the time they actually declared the events on the notification
form. During this exercise, these small time differences did not
significantly effect making timely notifications. We identified this issue
because it appeared confusing to your staff. Additionally, if the time of
actual declaration of an event by your Shift Supervisor i's substantially
different from the signature time on the notification forms, there could be an
unnecessary delay in the notification of offsite officials that you might not
be aware of using your current methodology.
We have evaluated your response and found that it meets the requirements of
10 CFR 2.201. We will examine the implementation of your corrective actions
during future inspections.
