SUMMARY
Scope: This routine inspection was conducted in the area of emergency
preparedness, and included a review of the following programatic areas:
(1) Emergency Plan and Implementing Procedures; (2) emergency facilities,
equipment, instrumentation, and supplies; (3) organization and management
control; (4) training; and (5) independent reviews / audits.
Results: Two violations were identified:
(1) failure to use the most recent
revision of the Emergency Personnel Augmentation Telephone Call List; and
(2) failure to demonstrate the capability of meeting staffing requirements for
emergency response team personnel.
The findings of this inspection appear to indicate a weakness in the
notification and emergency response staffing capabilities at the site,

Organization and Management Control (82701)
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.47(b) (1) and (16) and Section IV.A of Appendix E
to 10 CFR Part 50, the area was inspected to determine the effects of
changes in the licensee's emergency response organization and/or
management control systems of the emergency preparedness program, and to
verify that such changes were properly factored into the Emergency Plan
Implementing Procedures.
The organization and management of the emergency preparedness program were
reviewed and discussed with a licensee representative.
The licensee
stated that two offsite emergency planners, one in Spotsylvania County and
'
the other in Hanover County, were new since the last inspection.
Discussions with the Spotsylvania County Emergency Coordinator,
Orange
i
County Coordinator of Emergency Services and Hanover County Coordinator of
Emergency Services indicated that a satisfactory relationship existed
between the licensee and the counties.
The licensee reviewed the
,
organizational changes in the corporate organization with the inspector.
None of the changes appear to reduce the effectivenesses of emergency
support to the site.
Changes at the site include a new station manager
and a new emergency planner.
The new station manager was promoted from
the site organization and was already familiar with the site emergency
plan and had been previously assigned emergency response activities. The
new emergency planner assumed his duties in January 1988.
The previous

planner accepted a position in the Corporate Office Emergency Planning
organization.
Continuity of the site emergency planning activities appear
to be satisfactory since the previous planner was made available to
support the site during the transition. The previous planner continues to
assist the site.
No violations or deviations were identified

Training (82701)
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) and (15),Section IV.F of Appendix E to
10 CFR Part 50, and Section 8 of the Emergency Plan, this area was
inspected to determine whether the licensee's key emergency respnnse
personnel were properly trained and understood their emergency
responsibilities.
t
The inspector conducted an interview in the LEOF with a Shift Supervisor
i
undergoing requalificaton training.
The Shift Supervisor was given
several sets of hypothetical emergency conditions and plant data and was
asked in each case to talk through the response he would provide as
Interim Station Emergency Manager if such an emergency actually existed.
The individual was able to correctly classify event situations and provide
Protective Action Recommend. tion as appropriate. The individual exhibited
a working knowledge of the Emergency Plan and EPIPs.
No problems were
observed.
The inspector selectively reviewed the training records of individuals
designated as Station Emergency Manager.
No problems were found.
The inspector witnessed an unannouned North Anna Power Station Energency
Response Per,onnel Call Out Drill using procedure 1-EP-MISC-1 dated June
30, 1988. The drill was initiated at about 7:05 p.m. on August 17, 1988,
i
By procedJre, EPIP 3.01 titled, Callout of Emergency Response Personnel,
Security Obtained Section 1.2 of the North Anna Power Station Telephone
Directory. The inspector determined that the two call lists which were to
be used were outdated revisions of the call list.
The most recent
!
revision of the call list contained at least 5 changes from the call list
'
used.
One change involved a revised home telephone number.
The use of
,
the outdated call list was identified to the licensee as a violation.
!
Violation (50-338,339/88-24-01):
Failure to use the most recent revision
of the Emergency Personnel Augmentation Telephone Call List.

comitments in Table 5.1 Titled Minimum Staffing Requirements for
Emergencies.
The inspector found that 5 of 11 major functional area
personnel could not respond in the 30 minute comitment.
Primary and
alternate Personnel in the Plant System Engineering Repair and Corrective
Actions Functional area could not be contacted by telephone and thus did
,
not respond.
Notification telephone calls to four other emergency
response personnel took in excess of the 30 minute comitment.
