SUBJECT:
LIMERICK UNITS 1 & 2 FULL-PARTICIPATION EMERGENCY PREFAREDNESS
EXERCISE INSPECTION NOS. 50-352/97-05 and 50-353/97-05
1
Dear Mr. Smith:
This letter refers to the NRC-graded, biennial, emergency preparedness exercise inspection
led by Ms. N. McNamara, at Limerick Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 and 2, during the
period of June 23-26,1997. The inspection evaluated the performance of your emergency
response organization during the June 24,1997, Limerick full-participation exercise. The
inspectors discussed the findings of this inspection at a formal exit meeting with
Mr. W. McFarland and othars of your staff on June 26,1997.
Based on the results of this inspection, it was determined that the overall performance of
the emergency response organization was very good. Simulated events were accurately
diagnosed, mitigation actions were performed, emergency declarations were timely and
i
accurate, and off-site agencies were notified promptly. No safety concerns, or violations
of NRC requirements were observed. One exercise strength was identified in the
,
Emergency News Center. The Corporate spokesperson conducted excellent press briefings
which were consistently informative, accurate and well organized. However, one exercise
weakness was identified in the Technical Support Center because the licensee did not
integrate the expertise of the engineering staff when making crucial decisions and failed to
effectively demonstrate the maintenance team coordinator's duties,
in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter
and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
Sincerely,
f
