Docket No. 50-483

Union Electric Company

ATTN: Mr. Donald F. Schnell

Senior Vice President - Nuclear

Post Office Box 149 - Mail Code 400

St. Louis, M0 63166

Dear Mr. Schnell:

SUBJECT:

ROUTINE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS INSPECTION AT THE CALLAWAY PLANT

This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Mr. T. Reidinger and

Ms. H. Simons of this office on September 13-17, 1993.

The inspection

included a review of authorized activities at your Callaway facility.

At the

conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those members

of your staff identified in the enclosed report.

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures

and representative records, interviews, and observation of activities in

progress.

During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation

of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation

(Notice). One violation involved the failure of the Radiological Release

Information System to provide accurate offsite dose projections. This

!

violation is of concern because of the importance of providing accurate

offsite dose projections to the offsite officials in the event of an

emergency.

We are also concerned that this violation was not identified by

your staff.

Two other violations involve the failure to provide adequate training to dose

assessment personnel and the failure to correct identified deficiencies in

i

dose assessment training. This violation is of concern because it

demonstrates a lack of coordination between the emergency preparedness and

training staffs.

In addition, records indicated that a decision was made by

management to allow inadequate training to continue by not correcting

~

identified deficiencies.

l

You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions

'

specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.

In your

response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional

actions you plan to prevent recurrence.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of

this letter and the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC

Public Document Room.
