Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. N. M. Terc during the period
June 11-15, 1990, of activities authorized by NRC Operating License NPF-47 for
River Bend Station, and to the discussion of our findings with Mr. K. E. Suhrke
and other members of your st4ff at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during the inspection included review of the operational status
,
of the emergency preparedness program. Within these creas, the inspection
'
consisted of selective examination of procedures and representative records,
interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector. The inspection
findings are documented in the enclosed inspection report.
Within the scope of this inspection, no violations or deviations were
identified.
Two co': erns discussed in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the enclosed' inspection report
resulted in commitments to NRC. The first concern pertained to the emergency
response organization structure that required the control operations foreman to
perform offsite dose calculations.
Fulfilling this responsibility could result
in inadequate control room operator supervisory oversight in a fast developing
emergency.
Your staff committed to providing dose assessment training for
other individuals to resolve this conflict.
The second concern pertained to
offsite notifications and dose calculations that could not be simultaneously
performed from the control room because both functions were performed using the
same personal computer.
Your staff committed to provide a separate personal
computer for the control room to alleviate this situation.
Should your
understanding of these commitments differ from ours, please contact me
immediately.
During walkthrcughs of simulated accident scenarios, as discussed in pargraph 6
of the enclosed inspection report, an exercise weakness was identified
pertaining to the performance of some emergency responders.
You are requested
to provide this office with your analysis of the weakness, a description of
your corrective measures and your schedule for completing these actions within
30
ays after receipt of this letter.
