Docket No. 50-267

SUBJECT: I&E Inspection Report 87-25

REFERENCE: NRC Letter, Callan

to Williams, dated

January 15, 1988

(G-88006)

Gentlemen:

This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation received as a

result of the inspection conducted by Messrs. R. E. Farrell and

P. W. Michaud during the period October 18 through November 21, 1987.

The following response ;o the item contained in the Notice of

Violation is hereby submittec:

Failure to Make Management Notifications Required oy Section 2.1

and Attachment 2 of tne "Fort St. Vrain Medical Emergency Plan,"

Issue 20.

The licensee's Technical Specification AC 7.4.a.5 requires

written procecures be established and in plementec covering  !

emergency clan implementation.

The "Fort St. Vrain Mecical Emergency Plan (MEP)," Issue 20,

including Procedural Deviation Reports 87-2039 and 87-2042

prescribes those actions taken in the event of onsite injury to

personnel.

Contrary to the above, on October 26, 1987, the shift supervisor

failed to make the ranagement notifications required by l

Section 2.1 and Attachment 2 of MEP, Issue 20 when a ccntractor

electrician had injured himself in a fall whilt 01 site and had

been transferred by amoulance to an off site medical facility.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (bupplement IV)

(267/8721-01)

P-88070 -2- February 11, 1988

(1) The reason for the violation if admitted:

The violation of the procedural steps is admitted. The violation

is due to a procedural inadequacy in the "Fort St. Vrain Medical

Emergency Plan (MEP)." The procedure was not clear with regards

to implementation based on an injury which was not related to

plant operational or equipment emergency conditions. Shift

personnel did not believe that the procedure ap711ed to this

event. Subsequent evaluation by plant management has confirmed

that the procedure was not intended to address this tyoe of

situation. It should be noted that the victim's needs were

attended in a timely menner, and that transport via ambulance to

the medical facility is determined on a case-by-case basis.

(2) The corrective steps which have been taken and the results

achieved: ,

The Superintendent of 0;erations reviewed the incident with each

Shift Supervisor. The requirements and applicability of the

"Fort St. Vrain Medical Emergency Plan (MEP)" were reviewed and

cinrified immediately following the incident. The issue was

again reviewed at the weekly Shift Supervisor's Staff Meeting

held on February 10, 1988, and a proposed revision to the MEP was

discussed.

The actions prescribed in the "Fort St. Vrain Medical Emergency '

Plan (MEP)," Issue 20 have been taken in every injury which has

occurred since the October 26, 1987 incident.

(3) Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations:

The "Fort 51 Vrain Medical Emergency Plan (MEP)" will be

rewritten. The procedure will be revised to simplify and clarify

the required actions to be taken in the case of injury to on-site l

personnel. The applicability of the procedure for contractor '

persornel will be well-defined. The new procedure will be better

defined as to its applicability for the type of situations that

may be encountered.

(4) The date wnen full compliance will be achieved:

Full compliance wiil be achieved with the issuance of a revision

to the "Fort St. Vrain Medical Emergency Plan (MEP)." The

revisions will be issued by April 15, 1988.
