SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-361/97-21; 50-362/97-21
Dear Mr. Ray:
An NRC inspection was conducted October 27-31,1997, at your San Onofre Nuclear
Generating Station, Units 2 and 3 reactor facilities. The enclosed report presents the scope and
results of that inspection.
The inspection included implementation of your emergency plan and procedures during your
biennial emergency preparedness exercise. Overall, the performance dunng the biennial
exercise was satisfactory; however, one exercise weakness was identified. The exercise
weakness involved the failure to adequately monitor the habitability of the Operations Support
Center (OSC).
,
Exercise weaknesses, according to 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E.IV.F.2.g, are inspection
1
findings that need to be corrected by the licensee. Therefore, you are requested to provide this
office with a description of your corrective measures and your schedule for completing these
actions within 30 days after receipt of this letter.
We noted that for this exercise, and during the 1995 evaluated exercise, the general emergency
occurred at noon. We recognize that the scenario events are typically coordinated to meet both
on-sita and off-site objectives. However, the predictability of the event timing could be viewed as
a disclosure of the scenario and could; therefore, detract from the training value of the exercise.
We raquest that you review your scenario development process to avoid repetitive times for
establishing general emergency conditions
During the exercise, we noted that Federal guidance concerning protective action
recommendations for severe core damage events had not been properly incorporated into the
emergency plan and implementing procedures. Supplement 3 to NUREG-0654, " Criteria for
Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in
Support of Nuclear Power Plants,"(published in July 1996) identified evacuation as the preferred
recommendation for severe core damage events. Your procedure still identified sheltering as
this initial general emergency protective action recommendation. Please note that your
protective action recommendations are inconsistent with NRC recommended actions.
Iri accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its
f
enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Documeat Room (PDR).
