and that the support expertise

required in such

cases

would be redistributed to the most appropriate

location to

continue support.

"Open C.A.R. Report" (Corrective Action

Emer enc

Facilities

E ui ment

Instrumentation

and

Su

lies

The Technical

Support Center

(TSC) was inspected,

to include

annual radiation monitoring calibration records.

(See also

item 4.c below.)

Maintenance

records

and corrective action

requests

(CAR) were reviewed regarding

emergency

preparedness

equipment

and supplies.

Equipment

was verified as being in

calibration.

A report from the "Emergency

Preparedness

Tracking System,"

dated

May 12,

1992,

was reviewed to determine status of routine

emergency

planning maintenance

tasks.

A discussion of a

perceived

problem with response

to requests

on status of items

tracked

by this system is contained in the inspection report

for the previous routine emergency

inspection at MNP-2

(Inspection report 50-397/92-05,

dated

March 20, 1992, Section

2. c.(2)).

Although tasks

on the report were indicated

as being

"overdue," the licensee

indicated that they were in fact not

5

known to be overdue.

The

EP staff had simply not yet received

some of the task sheets

to verify that they were done.

In some

cases,

the report indicates

items 'as overdue,

which are in fact

not yet due.

For example,

a monthly task is indicated

by the

computer printout as overdue

by mid-month even. though the true

overdue date is the last day of the month.

In some cases,

'ocumentation that the tasks

were appropriately performed

on

time are not received

by the

EP staff until sometime in the

month following the due,date.

The licensee

indicated that the

tracking system

was "inherited" and they are not completely

satisfied with it.

The system

appears

to present

a problem

that

EP testing

and maintenance

tasks

could be missed without

the

EP staff being aware unti 1 long after due dates'r

suspense

dates.

The. licensee

indicated they would again review the

system

and seek

a better

way to track routine tasks.

(3)

Or anization

and

Mana ement Control

(a)

At the time of this inspection,

the licensee

was in the

early stages

of a major outage,

to last about ten weeks

until mid-July 1992.

The outage

was indicated

as having

some impact on virtually'll organizations

at the plant.

In emergency

planning .{EP), of twelve individuals on the

organization chart furnished

by the licensee;

seven

were

available full-time for their normal routine

EP functions.

Of the remainder;

one

was full-time,'with the outage

organization,

one

was two days

a week with the outage

organization,

two were engaged,for

the week in

revalidation of the plant simulator,

and one

was

on leave,

The licensee

indicated that this was having

some impact;

- however,

the necessary

functions were being performed.

(b)

Licensee

Open C.A.R. Report" 92-0001 indicated

a finding

that

PER

NUREG 0654 and Supply System

Emergency

Plan

4.3.2.3 - six Environmental

Field Team responders

are

required to be available to respond within one hour

to an alert or higher classification.

On January

14, 1992,

Supply System

emergency

responders

were contacted

by the Melita Automatic

Dialer

as part of a routine notification test.

Only

five Field Team members

were contacted.

During a

notification test

conducted

on February

13, 1992,

only three Field Team members

were contacted.

To address

this potential regulatory problem,

the licensee

recruited

and trained three

new team

members for call-out.

Two are trained health physicists.

As a result

the two

most recent drills Plarch

26 and April 27, 1992] have met

the six team

member requirement with no difficulty.

The

licensee is continuing to address

the potential

problem

'nd is considering recruiting even

more team members if

deemed appropriate.

The licensee

indicated that the

CAR

is being kept open for tracking.

Thi.s will be tracked

as

an inspection followup item for the next few routine

inspections

to insure that the team continues to meet

regulatory requirements.

(92-17-02)

~Trainin

(a)

(b)

A review of training records indicated that required

training for the emergency organization

was being

~

~

~

~

~

erformed, albeit with some

m>nor difficulties.

The

mergency Training Supervisor tracks training requirements

for the emergency organization at the site.

He makes

notifications of required training to the individuals

affected

and then conducts

the training.

In the event

an

individual misses'hee

scheduled training,

he is sent

a

notice of the fact and an attempt is made to reschedule

the training.

A copy of the notice is sent to the

individual

s supervisor,

who is responsible

under plant

procedures

to see that his subordinates

receive the

necessary

training.

The review of records indicated

several

individuals listed as "overdue" for some training

modules.

The worst case

noted

was

an individual who had

been sent five notices over a five month period.

In most

cases,

when individuals miss the first training session

and possibly followup sessions,

the training function

=

defaults to a one-on-one training. session

between the

Emergency Training Supervisor

an6 the individual

concerned.

In these

cases,

the individual misses

the

class

discussion

and quest>on

and answer sessions,

which

are also important elements of the education

process.

Another area

reviewed

was that of training documentation.

The WNP-2 Technical Training Manual indicates at Sectioi.

5.6.1.b.2 that

Fire Brigade Refresher Traininq in actual

fire-fighting practice is required

on an annual

basis,

It was noted in a review of the "Supply System

Personnel

qualification System Retraining Report'ated

May 12,

1992,

numerous fire brigade

members

were indicated

as

overdue for annual fire brigade continuing training.

This

report was listed as the "FILE: MASTER."

In a review of

the "Radwaste

Control

Room Log," which lists members of

the Plant

Emergency

Team

on each shift for the date of May

12, 1992, it was noted that of nine

names

selected

from

the three

team lists for that date,

only one of the nine

were indicated

as current in annual fire brigade training

on the master retraining report.

The remaining eight had

training past

due dates

from August 1991 through October

1991.

In an interview with the site Fire Marshal,

he

produced

documentation to confirm that the dates

on the

master training report were incorrect.

Training

Attendance

Records for August,

September',

and

November

1991 indicated that all of the fire brigade'embers

had

received the proper training.

He also provided

a printout

from a personal

data

base

he maintained

on fire brigade

training, which indicated that all fire brigade

members

had been properly trained

and requalified

on time and

before

due dates.

He could not account for the past

due

dates in the master training report; but indicated that

he

does

not rely on it in any respect for current

requal,ification status.

He prefers his

own data

base

wh)ch

he insures is current

and complete

as training and

retraining occur.

He uses this personal

data

base for

assigning

members to.the. site emergency

team,

not the

master training record.

These traininq observations

were reviewed with the licensee

during the exit meeting

on May 15,

1992.

Scenario

Generator

The licensee

provided

a project schedule for development of a

"plant specific exercise

computer

program."

The project was initiated in January

1992.

The scenario

generator

should

enhance

emergency

preparedness

training since it allows for.production of more realistic

radiological conditions'n the plant and will model the plant

source

The

licensee

had documented

the review of an incident of Harch 8, 1992,

wherein

a WNP-2 plant worker had been injured

(NRC Event 22968).

The event

was reviewed

and the licensee's

determination

that the incident did not constitute

During the 1991 Annual

Emergency

Exercise, it was noted at the

TSC

that the'n-line

Emergency Notification System

(ENS) communicator

, with the

NRC was unable to view status

boards

from his location and

the line was left unmanned

at. times

up to fifteen minutes while

This was contrary to 10 CFR 50.72(c)(3),

which indicates that "Each licensee shall, during the course of the

event:

Maintain an open,

continuous

communication

channel with the

NRC Operations

Center

upon request

by the NRC."

This request

had

, been

made

by the

NRG.

A review of this item during the previous

inspection determined that the licensee

has installed portable

telephones

for manning of the

ENS and

HPN during events.

Several

of

the

EPIPs

reviewed during this in'spection contained procedural

changes

to address, this item.

This item will be reviewed during the

1992 annual

emergency

preparedness

exercise.

b.

(Exercise Observation)

Dose

Pro 'ections for Future Offsite Releases

It was observed

..luring the 1991 Annual

Emergency

Exercise that

approximately*45 minutes prior to the termination of the exercise

fo)lowing discussions

with the

NRC Site

Team and Operations

Center

Staff, the Meteorology and Unified Dose Assessment

Center

(MUDAC)

staff performed

a dose

consequence

assessment

of a complete core

damage

scenario.

To perform this assessment,

the

MUDAC staff

utilized the core inventory of radionuclides

tabulated in Chapter

15

of the

FSAR and attempted to estimate

the response

of the

elevated'elease

point monitor.

Rather than

use the iterative process that

was actually used,

the

MUDAC staff should

have

had

a more efficient

method for estimating the offsite consequence

of a release

of lOOX

of the core inventory.

Such

a method would have facilitated

smoother interaction with the

NRC site team and operations

center

staff.

The licensee

indicated that they are looking at several

options to accomplish this type task and the most promising one will

be considered for implementation.

This item will be reviewed in the

1992 annual

exercise.

Follow-u

Item (92-05-01).

The tour of the Technical

Support Center

(TSC) indicated that

~

reviously identified conditions were recurring.

NRC Inspection

eport

Number 50-397/91-02,

dated

February

19, 1991,

had indicated

that the

TSC did not appear in a state to be quickly and efficiently

converted to an emergency facility.

The inspector s had also

observed that there

was

a pool of standing water in the

TSC

instrument

room.

The licensee

determined that the water resulted

from a leaking relief valve on

a hot water heater

located in 'the

room.

The licensee's

review concluded that the condition was

a

safety concern

and raised the priority of the repair work.

10

It was noted

on this tour of the

TSC that

some desk clutter was

still evident in the actively used office areas,

but the

TSC

decision center area

appeared

cleared

and ready for use

as

an

emergency center.

The water heater relief valve was still leaking.

These observations

appeared

to indicate that

TSC emergency

readiness

may not have

been receiving appropriate attention

as

an emergency

facility.

Preparation

and activation of the

TSC will be observed

'during the 1992 annual

emergency exercise.

Follow-u

Item (92-05-02);

One item identified by the licensee's

1991 annual audit is being

tracked

by NRC as

an inspection followup item (IFI).

The audit

report found that the Agreement Letter between the Washington Public

Power Supply System

and the State of Washington

Department of

Emergency

Preparedness

and,Response

had exp>red

and a replacement

letter had not yet been

approved.

Ouring this inspection the

licensee

indicated that the parties to the agreement

have set

a 90

day target date

as of the week of this inspection for execution of

the letter.

In that this is an emergency

plan requirement,

the item

wi 11

be tracked until an appropriate letter is promulgated.
