SUBJECT:

NRC-EVALUATED EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE - INSPECTION

REPORT NO. 50-334 & 412/98-07

Dear Mr. Cross:

1 The enclosed report documents an inspection for public health and safety, led by

Mr. D. Silk at Shippingport, Pennsylvania. The inspection evaluated the performance of

your emergency response organization (ERO) during the October 6,1998, Beaver Valley

Power Station full-participation exercise. The inspectors discussed the findings of this

inspection with your staff on October 7,1998.

Based on the results of this inspection, it was determined that the overall performance of

the ERO was good and demonstrated, with reasonable assurance, that onsite emergency

k

plans are adequate and that your organization is capable of implementing them. Simulated

[

events were accurately diagnosed, emergency declarations were timely and accurate,

offsite agencies were notified in a timely manner and protective action recommendations

were appropriate. Some minor communication issues were observed in the operations

support center ana the radiological operations center, and minor issues were observed in

j

the dose assessment area; however, the performance of the ERO was good overall. Your

post-exercise critique process was assessed as good as your staff was appropriately self-

,

critical.

-

No violations of NRC requirements or exercise weaknesses were identified. No response to

this letter is required.

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,

_
