Grand Gulf 11uclear Station Unit 1 Docket lio. 50-416 License llo. liPF-29 Response to Exercise Weakness: Failure to Provide Clear and Accurate Emergency 110tification Messages to State and Local Agencies Report lio. 50-416/92-23 dated 12/10/92 (GliRI-92/0024 4 )
G11RO-9 3/ 00006 Gentlemen:
Entergy Operation, Inc. hereby submits the response to the exercise weakness identified during Inspection 50-416/92-23.
The exercise inspection report identified a general weakness in our ability to provide clear and accurate emergency notification messages to state and local agencies.
Several examples were provided which were minor when considered individually, however, in aggregate they indicated a general weakness in tnis area.
The major contributor to this weakness is the form used to generate and issue emergency notifications to tho state and local agencies.
A single form is used that contains areas for information covering all emergency classifications. The current format of the form is conducive to personnel errors when completing the form prior to an emergency notification.
Efforts are in progress to review and revise the emergency notification form from a human factors perspective. The form must be simplified to ensure all required information for the existing conditions is identified by the preparer and transferred to the form. The goal of this offort is to produce a form that can be filled out quickly and accurately and contains all the required information for the current conditions.

.lantary 15, 1993 GNRO-93/00006 Page 2 of 3 The inspection report also indicated that emergency notification number 7,
which reported an escalation of the emergency classification, was not transmitted in a timely manner.
The notification was not transmitted until approximately 20 minutes after the escalation occurred.
During the preparation of the notification several evolutions were.
in progress. The decision to delay the transmittal was made in order to include additional information concerning changing conditions.
Emergency Response Organization personnel responsible for omorgency notifications will be instructed that during transient conditions, i
several short notifications may be requirod instead of one longet.'
notification to ensure prompt notification of state and. local agencies.
All corrective actions are scheduled to be completed by March 31, 1993.
