Gentlemen:
Subject: Emergency Preparedness Appraisal
To verify that licensees have attained an adequate state of onsite emergency
preparedness, the Office of Inspection and Enforcement is conducting special
appraisals of the emergency preparedness programs at each power reactor site.
These appraisals are being performed in lieu of certain routine inspections
normally conducted in the area of emergency preparedness. The objectives
are to evaluate the overall adequacy and effectiveness of emergency prepared-
ness and to identify areas of weakness that need to be strengthened. We
will use the findings from these appraisals as a basis not or.ly for. request-
ing individual applicant and licensee action to correct deficiencies and
effect improvements, but also for effecting improvements in NRC requirements
and guidance.
During the period of June 8-17, 1981, the NRC conducted a special appraisal
of the emergency preparedness program at the V. C. Summer Nuclear Station.
Areas examined during this appraisal are described in the enclosed report
(50-395/81-12). Within these areas, the appraisal team reviewed selected
procedures and representative records, inspected emergency facilities and
equipment, observed work practices, and interviewed personnel.
The findings of this emergency preparedness appraisal indicate that certain
deficiencies exist in your emergency preparedness program. These are addressed
in Appendix A, " Emergency Preparedness Deficiencies".
Further review of this emergency preparedness appraisal also indicates that
there are other areas that should be evaluated and considered for improvement
in your emergency preparedness program. These areas are discussed in Appendix
B, " Preparedness Improvement Areas."
Several areas in your emergency preparedness program were not complete at the
time of this appraisal and, therefore, were not examined.
These areas are
listed in Appendix C.
These will be examined upon complete implementation
of the areas involved.
