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 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 of the appraisal at each facility are to evalcate
the overall adequacy and effectiveness of energency 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 individual applicant and
licensee action to correct deficiencies and effect improvements, but also for
effecting improvenents in NRC requirements and guidance.
During the period of June 8-19, 1981, the NRC conducted an appraisal of the
energency preparedness program at the St. Lucie Nuclear Stati n
Are3Wamined
during this appraisal are described in the enclosed repor
50-335/81-13)
Within these areas, the appraisal team reviewed selected procedures and represen-
tative records, inspected emergency facilities and equipment, observed work
practices, and interviewed personnel .
Emergency preparedness deficiencies identified during this appraisal, for which
you have made acceptable commitments to resolve, were documented in our confirma-
tory letter (Appendix A) dated June 30, 1981.
Discussions with your staff on
hovember 9,1981 indicated that the conunitments have been completed on schedule.
Further review of the findings of this emergency preparedness appraisal indicate
that certain other deficiencies also exist in your emergency preparedness program.
These are discussed in Appendix B, " Emergency Preparedness Deficiencies."
With regard to deficiency 1 of Appendix B, the NRC is in receipt of your proposal
of November 24, 1981, relative to tinely augmentation of emergency response person-
nel. This matter is being reviewed by the NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
in connection with the St. Lucie 2 operating license proceeding and will be the
subject of separate correspondence from that office.
