l Attachment Description of Weakness NRC Inspection Report 50-369, 50-370/97-12 dated September 22, '997 concluded that McGuire demonstrated the ability to make initial notifications following an emergency declaration in a timely manner.

However, follow-up notifications following the Alert declaration did not properly identify the degrading plant conditions.

Inspector Follow-up Item 50-369, 50-370-97-12-01, ' Exercise Weakness for failure of the follow-up notifications after the Alert to keep offsite agencies aware of changing plant prognosis that could affect the offsite response" was identified.

McGuire Response McGuire will provide more specific guidance to clearly define stable versus degrading plant conditions in appropriate procedures. Additional training will be provided to Emergency Response Organization (ERO) members responsible for making these determinations.
