SUBJECT: NRC QUAD CITIES EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE INSPECTION

REPORTS 50-254/98014(DRS); 50-265/98014(DRS)

Dear Mr. Kingsley:

On August 28,1998, the NRC completed an inspection of your emergency preparedness

biennial exercise at the Quad Cities Nuclear Plant. The purpose of this inspection was to '

evaluate the performance of tne emergency response organization during the exercise. The

enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.

Areas examined within your emergency preparedness exercise performance are identified in

the report. Within thosa areas, the Inspection consisted of a selective examination of

procedures and representative records, observation of performance, and interviews with staff.

- The objective of the inspection effort was to determine whether the Generating Stations

Emergency Plan was adequate and station personnel were capable of implementing the l

Generating Stations Emergency Plan in accordance with NRC requirements. Based on the )

- results of this inspection, no violations of NRC requirements were identified. l

Overall performance during the 1998 Emergency Preparedness exercise was effective and -

demonstrated that your emergency plan implementation activities met regulatory requirements.

The performance of the staffs in the Control Room Simulator, Technical Support Center,

- Operations Support Center and Emergency Operations Facility contributed to safety by taking

appropriate actions to mitigate the simulated accident and protect the public. They met the

,

exercise objectives in an acceptable manner while complying with emergency plan and

regulatory requirements. Staff and management effectively completed self-critiques.  !
