FORTCALHOUN' STATION 1930EMERGENCYEXdRCISEi MAJOR CRITIQUE ITEMS June 23, 1988 1.
There was a failure to properly classify the Alert emergency.
2.
Accountability was completed in thirty-five minutes instead of the required 30 minutes. A contributing factor is the apparent malfunction of the site nuclear alarm.
S 3.
Full-staffing achievement was only 90 percent within thirty and sixty minutes, instead of the required 100 percent.
4.
Initial dose assessment at Site Area required thirty-six minutes and should have taken only,15 minutes in accordance with NUREG-0654.
5.
Dose assessment initially was not performed in a timely manner. Apparent contributing factors are log-on problems; printer problems (not a significant contribution); switch from TSC to E0F.
6.
OPPD and NRC procedures are not consistent for recovery operations mode.
7.
Initial notification to States' not fully in accordance with EPIP-0SC-2.
8.
Dose projection methods based radioactive deposition (procedure EPIP-E0F-6) needs improvement.
9.
Procedure to quickly evaluate steam generator rupture is weak.
- 10. A procedure is needed to go directly from an Emergency classification to Recovery without going through the downgrading process.
- 11. Receipt, interpretation and dissemination of information at the Media Release Center should be improved.
- 12. Communication weaknesses:
a.
The telephone number was wrong to initiate call out for activating staff.
b.
Intermittent problems were experienced with the FCS telephone system.
c.
There was a poor flow of information at the E0F when the communicator was not present.
d.
OPPD recommendation - need better accompanying discussion with States.

- 0ther more significant critique items
-L EPIP-E0F-19 needs to be revised to reflect transition to recovery s
and need for state and NRC concurrence a new procedure is needed on Recovery Phase e

(EPIP-E0F-6,01-PAP-8) m:
some of the telephone numbers in the emergency phone book were incorrect INP0 - add note to emergency number that it is also to be used in drill / exercises backup emergency number is (404)953-0922 5.
Scenario requests for material should come from the cognizant group rather i
a than handed out on a cue card the pressure in "B" steam generator did not track the RCS a
pressure. This was a problem with the thermohydraulic model supplied by CE.
data updates did not include vessel level. This information e
should be included.
MEDICAL ORILL - AUXILIARY BUILDING & UNMC 1.
