VIOIATION A:
10 CFR 50.54(q) requires that nuclear power reactor licensees follow and maintain in effect energency plans which meet the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 and the planning standards of 50.47(b). 10 CPR 50.47(b)(15) requires that those who may be called on to assist in an emergency be provided radiological energency response training.
Section J of the Hatch Nuclear Plant Bnergency Plan states in part that it is the responsibility of the Bnergency Director to reconnend actions to the state agencies to protect the public.
Section B of the Plan states that the Operations Supervisor initially takes charge of the energency control measures by assuning the position of anergency Director.
Contrary to the above, Operations Supervisors interviewed during the inspection were not adequately trained in that they were not capable of determining when and what type of protective action recarenendations
- should be considered to protect health and safety.
%is is a Severity Invel IV (Supplanent 1).
