Emergency Power Supply e.
Section 7.4.3 of the Emergency Plan states that two independent standby diesel generators, 250 and 300 kw are available to power vital areas in the plant, such as control system, alarm and safey systems, ventilation systems, etc. The inspector discussed this matter with licensee repre-sentative and was informed that two additional diesel generators (500 kw each) were recently installed to provide additional power for increased manufacturing capacity and for running ventilation systems in the event i
of a power outage. The inspector observed the new diesel generators and asked about an operability test similar to that being used for the i
older diesels. The inspector was informed that final test run procedure was being formulated and that all four diesels are test run for approxi-(
mately fifteen minutes each week. The inspector revicwed the test run log on the older diesels and verified weekly test runs had been performed up through May 1980.
The inspector hSd no further questions.

Medical and Decontamination Facilities '

(4) First-Aid Training (a) Section 8.1.1.3 of the Emergency Plan states, "All shift supervisors and health physics technicians will be required to attend a First Aid training course." From a review of training records, training schedules and interviews with several licensee personnel, it was determined that three shift supervisors and three health physics technicians have been in their respective job positions for a s;inimum of one year and have not received the required First Aid training.
From a review of training records and discussions with the I
first aid training instructor, the inspector verified that each shift had a minimum of one qualified First Aid trained person, and that there were over one hundred qualified first aiders.
The inspector discussed this matter at the exit interview and the licensee consnitted to having the three shift supervisors and one HP technician attend the June session, and the remaining two HP technicians attend the next training session, which will probably be conducted in July.
The inspector acknowledged the licensee's coannents and stated that this finding constituted noncompliance with SNM-1107, License Condition 17, which incorporated the Emergency Plan on April 16, 1979 (70-1151/80-14-01).
