, November 27,1996 APPENDIX A WESTINGHOUSE RESPONSE TO THE ITEM OF NONCOMPLIANCE IDENTIFIED IN THE NRC NOTICE OF VIOLATION The information in this Appendix is provided in response to the Inspectors' observations as described in the
" VIOLATION" section below:
VIOLATION 1.
The following information is provided in response to the inspector's observations that the 1995 independent audit of the emergency preparedness program was not performed as required by the Site Emergency Plan. "The licensee's audit consisted exclusive of the CY 95 exercise. No evaluations were performed within the areas of training, emergency facilities, equipment, supplies,-
records, or the Site Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures."
WESTINGHOUSE RESPONSE
[
I.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE VIOLATION The violation is correct as stated in the Notice of Violation.
l
. II.
REASON FOR THE VIOLATION The violation resulted from a misunderstanding between the emergency preparedness coordinator and the independent auditor as to the required audit scope, and a failure to recognize the limited scope of the audit during review of the audit fmdings by the emergency preparedness coordinator.
III.
IMMEDIATE ACTION TAKEN AND RESULTS ACHIEVED The emergency preparedness coordinator immediately committed to preparing an audit checklist for the 1996 audit to assure that all applicable criteria from the Site Emergency Plan are included.
The independent auditor for the 1996 audit has been selected, and the audit checklist has been prepared and sent to the auditor. The 1996 audit is scheduled for completion by December 15, 1996.
IV.
ACTIONS TAKEN, OR PLANNED, TO PREVENT RECURRENCE A Conunitment Tracking System (CTS) item has been prepared to guide the emergency preparedness coordinator in defming audit scope, and assuring completeness of follow-up resiew, of all future audits.
V.
DATE WHEN FULL COMPLIANCE WAS ACHIEVED i
Since it is not possible to re-do the 1995 audit, and the 1996 audit has been structured to meet all l
Site Emergency Plan requirements, full compliance has been achieved.
