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
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

(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
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.
