Gentlemen:
To verify that licensees have attained an adequate state of onsite emergency
preparedness, the Office of Ir.spection 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 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 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 March 15-26, 1982, the NRC conducted an appraisal of the
emergency preparedness program at the Surry Power Station Units 1 and 2.
Areas
examined during this appraisal are described in the enclosed report (50-280,
281/82-05). Within these areas, the appraisal team reviewed selected procedures
an_d representative 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 discussed in our confirma-
tory letter (Appendix A) dated April 6,1982.
If the deficiencies addressed in
the confirmatory letter are not corrected by the commitment dates, enforcement
action will be considered.
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 identified in Appendix
B,
" Preparedness Improvement Items", and are discussed in the body of the enclosed
report.
