ATTACllMENT j

ENTID'GY OPERATIONS, INC. RESPONSE TO Tile EMERGENCY EXERCISE WEAKNESS DOCUMENTED IN INSPECTION REPORT 92-13 j

WEAIP ESS No. 9213-01:

i-I The composition of one emergency repair teaa dispatched from the Operational Support Center was observed not to conform to station procedures, Specifically, Team 10 was dispatchad to enter containniem to close blowdown Valve 102 without i..

assigning to this team a qualified operator. Emergency Plan Implementing i)cocedure EP-002-130, " Emergency Team Assignments," states that a qur.lified emergency team should be selected from Attachment 7.1, "OSC Emergency Team

-i Matrix." This matrix indicates that for emerrency repair operations, the team l

leader and primary team members should M

• WW1 from operations and L

- maintenance. In addition, Station Admins;. a <e Procedure OP-100-001, " Duties y

and Responsibilities of Operators on Duty," Section 5.8.1.1 states that operational evolutions shall be conductod only by those personnel who have been appropriately trained, qualified ar ', where required, licensed.

e l

The manipulation of the blowdown s alve by an emergency repair team which did not include a qualified operations team member was identit'ied as an exercise weakness.

RESPONSE

Analysis of the Weakness L

Entergy Operations, Inc. believes that the root cause cf this weakness is an inadequate procedure in that EP-002-130, " Emergency Team Assignments," is unclear with respect to the composition of emergency-l repair teams. At present, this procedure implies that emergency repair-i teams should include a quailfied operations team member.

t

~ The Operational Support Center (OSC) dispatched Emergency Repair. Team -

~ 10 to enter containment to remove air from Blowdown (BD) valve 102A as a-way to fall it closed. A qualified operator was not assigned to this team l-because the actions needed to remove air fecm BD 102A did not require this i

resou rce. Entergy Operationa. Inc. considers te workload on operators L_

too demanding during emergency conditions to have them on the scene with repair teams wl3ere operations activities may not be necessary, have already been performed, or are of limited scope. In keeping with this philosophy,~ Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure (EP1P) EP-002-130, l

" Emergency Team Assignments," Attachment 7.1, " ~ SC Emergency Team.

Matrix," is provided as an' aid to facilitate the selection of individuals to -

E emergency teams. As such, it is hitended to indicate that emergency repair or emergency operations teams may be staffed primarily with maintenance personnel,_ operators, or both depending on the function of L

the specific team. It was not intended to require that a qut.if ed _ operator i

be c.ssigned to all emergency repair teams.
