Emergency Plan and Implementing Procedures 02.01 (I)
Shift Staffing and Augmentation
'-
-
Emergency response personnel notification procedures were inspected to
determine the licensee's compliance with 10 CFR 50.54(q), 10 CFR 50.47(b)
and Technical Specification.6.8.
The NRC inspector reviewed announced and unannounced call-out drills
conducted by the licensee on January 11 and February 1, 1988.
The object
of the drills was to determine whether emergency response team personnel
could respond within required time limits.
Results of the cull-out drills
indicated that the emergency response team could not meet the 30 and
60 minute response time requirement to arrive at the plant.
This was an apparent violation of Technical Specification 6.8.1
,
(482/8812-01).

Indicates that inspection area 02.01 was not completed during this
inspection.
One violation and no deviations were identified in this program area.
3.
Emergency Facilities, Equipment, Instrumentation, and Supplies 02.02
The NRC inspector inspected key facilities and equipment to determine
whether the facilities were maintained, whether any facility changes had
been incorporated into the emergency plan and implementing procedures,
whether changes had an adverse effect on the emergency preparedness
program.
Emergency facilities, equipment, instrumentation, and supplies were
reviewed to determine the state of readiness and accessibility.
The NRC
inspector selected equipment kits and determined that the kits were as
described in the emergency plan. TheTechnicalSupportCenter(TSC)was
not as described in EPP-01-4.1, Revision 5.
Personnel had been moved into
a room that previously had been described as a conference area for
licensee personnel. The area contained an automatic telephone dialer
,
equipment, duplicating machine, computers, tables, desks, file cabinets,
book cases, and other office equipment. Minimum aisle space was a 22-inch
clearance.
During the call-out drill, the shift supervisor made four attempts to
contact someone in the TSC via the plant Gai-tronics systen.
The shift
supervisor was not heard, due to the speakers having been tarned.off in
the TSC.
The NRC inspector discussed the following observations with the licensee
during the exit interview:
The licensee should consider preserving space in the Emergency
Response Facilit.ies (ERFs) for emergency response purposes.
The licensee should consider instructing plant personnel not to turn
off or "adjust" the Gai-tronics speakers in the ERFs.
The licensee should consider instructing personnel using the
"
facilities to return the facility to the original floor plan at the
end of each day.
No violations or deviations were identified in this program area.

Training (02.04)
The NRC inspector reviewed the documents listed below and interviewed
licensee training representatives to determine whether training
requirements were being met in accordance with the requirements of
10 CFR 50.54(q), 10 CFR 50.47(b)(15), and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.IV.F.

lesson plans;.and test, attendance, and personnel training records.
Fifty-eight personnel records reviewed, indicated that all pers e had
received required training.

retrieval management. system.
The NRC inspector discussed the following observations with the licensee
during the exit interview:
The licensee should consider giving tests for persons receiving
emergency response retraining.
The licensee should consider revising the training test for Duty
Emergency Managers and Duty Emergency Directors to include Emergency
Classification (using Emergency Action Levels), Authorities and
Responsibilities, and Offsite Notifications.
No violations or deviations were identified in this program area.
5.
Independent Reviews / Audits (02.05)
The NRC inspector reviewed the documents listed below and interviewed
licensee representatives to determine whether annual independent reviews
or audits of the emergency preparedness program were performed in
accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(t).
Additionally, the NRC inspector determined whether the licensee had a
system for correcting deficiencies and weaknesses identified during drills
and exercises and whether appropriate, timely corrective actions had been
taken.
The licensee had conducted a program review over a 12-manth period.
Licensee Quality Assurance (QA) auditors evaluated adequacy of interfaces
with state and local governments, drills, exercises, capabilities, and
procedures.
Findings were reviewed and sent to management or responsible
party.
Most findings were corrected in a timely manner; however, several
findings had been on he tracking system for 6 months.
One finding had
been on the system for 1 year.
The NRC inspector noted that individual
reports were sent to management as each report was completed.
Management
did not receive a summation of all reports, thus not getting a complete
picture of the emergency pre.paredness program at one time.
