Subject: Emergency Preparedness Appraisal
Q]p
To verify that licensees have attained an adequate state of onsite
emergency preparedness, the Office of Inspection and Enforcement is con-
ducting special appraisals of the emergency preparedness programs at all
operating nuclear power reactors. The objectives of these appraisals are
to evaluate the overall adequacy and effectiveness of emergency preparedness
and to identify areas of weakness that need to be strengthened. We will
use the findings from these appraisals as a basis not only for requesting
i
individual licensee action to correct deficiencies and effect improvements,
but also for effecting improvements in hTC requirements and guidance.
During the period of January 18-27, and February 8, 1982, the NRC conducted
a special appraisal of the emergency preparedness program at the Quad-Cities
Nuclear Generating Station. This appraisal was performed in lieu of certain
routine inspections norms 11y conducted in the area of emergency preparedness.
Areas examined during this appraisal are discussed in the enclosed reports
(50-254/82-02; 50-265/82-02). Within these areas, the appraisal team
reviewed selected procedures and representative records, inspected emergency
facilities and equipment, observed work practices, and interviewed personnel.
Significant deficiencies for which you have made acceptable commitments to
resolve are discussed in the Confirmation of Action Letter dated February 2,
1982, enclosed as Appendix A.
The findings of this appraisal also indicate that there are areas for
improvement in your emergency preparedness program. These are discussed
in Appendix B, " Preparedness Improvement Items."
In conjunction with the aforementioned appraisal, emergency plans for your
facility were reviewed. The results of this review indicate that certain
deficiencies exist in your Emergency Plan (GSEP) and the Quad-Cities Site
Specific Annex. These are discussed in Appendix C, " Emergency Preparedness
Evaluation Report."

Several areas in your emergency preparedness program were not complete at
the time of this appraisal and therefore were not examined. These items
are identified as Open Items and are listed in the enclosed Appendix D.
These will be examined by our staff upon complete implementation of the
area involved. Please notify our office relevant to your completion
schedule for these items for re-examination by our staff.
We recognize that an explicit regulatory requirement pertaining to each
item identified in Appendices A, B, and C may not currently exist. Notwith-
standing this, you are requested to submit a written statenent within thirty
(30) days of the date of this letter describing your planned actions for
improving each of the items identified in Appendix A and the results of
your consideration of each of the items in Appendix B.
This description
is to include:
(1) steps which have been taken; (2) steps which will be
taken; and (3) a schedule for completion of actions for each item.
This
request is made pursuant to Section 50.54(f) of Part 50, Title 10, Code
of Federal Regulations. With regard to Appendix C, within 90 days of the
date of this letter, you are requested to provide changes to the emergency
plan correcting each deficiency. Copies of these changes are to be
submitted in accordance with the procedures delineated in 10 CFR 50.54(q).
This is to inform you that should the deficiencies addressed in the
Confirmation of Action Letter of February 2, 1982, not be corrected by
the commitment dates provided, the Commission will determine whether
the reactors shall be shut down until such deficiencies are remedied or
whether other enforcement action is appropriate.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy
of this letter, the enclosures, and your response to this letter will be
placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
If this report contains any
information that you (or your contractors) believe to be exempt from dis-
closure under 10 CFR 9.5(a)(4), it is necessary that you (a) notify this
office by telephone within ten (10) days from the date of this letter of
your intention to file a request for withholding; and (b) submit within
twenty-five (25) days from the date of this letter a written application
to this office to withhold such information.
If your receipt of this
letter has been delayed such that less than seven (7) days are available
for your review, please notify this office promptly so that a new due
date may be established. Consistent with Section 2.790(b)(1), any such
application must be accompanied by an affidacrit executed by the owner of
the information which identifies the document or part sought to be with-
hold, and which contains a full statement of the reasons which are the
bases for the claim that the information should be withheld from public
disclosure. This section further requires the statement to address with
specificity the considerations listed in 10 CFR 2.790(b)(4). The informa-
tion sought to be withheld shall be incorporated as far as possible into a
separate part of the affidavit.
If we do not hear from you in this regard
within the specified periods noted above, a copy of this letter, the
enclosures, and your response to this letter will be placed in the Public
Document Room.
