Dear Mr, Brons:
On December 5,1997, the NRC completed an inspection of your emergency preparedness
- biennial exercise at the Zion Generating Station, Units 1 and 2. The purpose of this inspection
. was to evaluate the per'ormance of the 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 those areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of
procedures and representative record 6, observation of performance, and interviews with staff.
The objective of the inspection effort was to determine whether the Emergency Plan was
adequate and station personnel were capabla of implementing the Emergency Plan in
accordance with NRC requirements. Based on the results of this inspection, no violations of
NRC requirements were identified.
The exercise scenario was very challenging and included significant degrades to Unit 1 and
Unit 2 equipment. The Control Room Simulator crew effectively used procedures and
Technical Specifications in their well-coordinated responses to degrading plant conditions. The
Technical Support Center staff's responses were well-coordinated and effectively addressed
onsite protective actions as wel' as degraded equipment. Operational Support Center
management effectively used available resources and correctly understood changing pnorities.
Inplant teams were effectively briefed and debriefed on their assignments and associated
radiological concems. Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) responders effectively
communicated with State counterparts on offsite protective actions, offsite dose projections,
radiological curvey results, and tha status of degraded plant conditions. The possibility of
evacuatir.g the EOF was thoroughly assessed.
Post-exerciso critiques were self-critical and comments providei by controllers, evaluators, and
. participants were constructive. The deficiencies noted by the controllers and participants were
consistent with the NRC's observations. The overall self assessment was effective.
I
t
in summary, the emergency response activities observed during ihls inspection were effective.
Simulated events were accurately diagnosed, proper mitigation actions were performed, and
offsite agencies were notified in a timely manner. Interfacility transfers of command and control
of event response were orderly and timely.
