Appendix NOTICE OF VIOLATION Northern States Power Company Docket No. 50-263 As a result of the inspection conducted on May 16-20, 1983, and in accordance with tbe NRC Enforcement Policy, 47 FR 9987 (March 9, 1982), the following violation was identified:
10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.D.3 states in part that "a licensee shall have the capability to notify responsible State and local govern-mental agencies within 15 minutes after declaring an emergency." 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.C. states in part that "the emergency classes defined shall include:
(1) notification of unusual events, (2) alert, (3) site area emergency, and (4) general emergency." Technical Specification, Paragraph 6.5.A.6. requires preparation of and adherance to implementing procedures of the emergency plan, including procedures for coping with emergency conditions involving potential or actual releases of radioactivity.
Contrary to the above requirements, the licensee failed to demonstrate this capability after declaration of a Notification of Unusual Event (NUE) on April 11, 1983. The State of Minnesota was notified 66 minutes after declaring this NUE, a time period greater than 15 minutes. Further, the licensee failed to follow Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure A.2-102,, which states that both counties and the State shall be notified within 15 minutes after declaring an emergency.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each item of noncompliance:
(1) cor-rective action taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective action to be taken to avoid further noncompliance; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause shown.
