SUBJECT:
NRC-EVALUATED EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE-
NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR POWER PLANT; INSPECTION REPORT
NOS. 50-220/97-10 AND 50-410/97-10
Dear Mr. Sylvia:
The enclosed report documents
an inspection for public health and safety, led by
Mr. D. Silk at the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Power Plant, Scriba, New York, during the week
of September
22, 1997.
The inspection evaluated the performance of your emergency
response
organization during the September 24, 1997, full-participation exercise.
The
inspectors discussed
the findings of this inspection with your staff on
September. 25, 1997.
Based on the results of this inspection, it was determined that the overall performance of
the emergency
response
organization was very good.
Simulated events were accurately
diagnosed,
proper mitigation actions were performed, emergency declarations were timely
and accurate,
and off-site agencies were notified promptly.
No exercise weaknesses,
safety concerns,
or violations of NRC requirements
were observed.
However, an inspector
follow-up item was identified because
numerous emergency
response
organization
positions were staffed, during the exercise, which are not specifically designated
by your
emergency
plan.
Because more responders
were present than specified in your emergency
plan, the inspectors
had difficultyfully assessing
the adequacy of the response
of the
organization described
in your emergency plan.
Although no adverse conditions resulted
from the additional staffing, the emergency
plan should reflect how your organization
responds to an emergency.
No response
to this letter is necessary.
