Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection Report No. 50-29/86-06
A routine safety inspection of your annual emergency preparedness exercise was
conducted by Mr. C. Gordon of this office and other members of an NRC team
on June 10-12, 1986, at the Yankee Nuclear Power Station, Rowe, Massachusetts.
Discussions of our findings were held by Mr. Gordon with you and your staff
at the conclusion of the inspection.
The areas examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region I
Inspection Report (enclosure). Within these areas, the inspection consisted
of followup of open items identified during previous inspections, selective
examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with
personnel, and observation of the emergency exercise by team members.
Within the scope of this inspection, no violations were observed, and your
i
emergency response actions were adequate to provide protective measures for the
health and safety of the public. However, observations made by the NRC team
revealed deficiencies in two areas which require your prompt attention. We
found that throughout the exercise overall command and control was not provided
from a single individual and that as the emergency escalated, turnover of
authority was not clear. We are also concerned about the methodology used to
provide protective action recommendations to offsite authorities. We found
that protective measures made to Massachusetts and Vermont were primarily based
upon dose projection data while potential degradation of plant and core condi-
tions were not adequately considered.
We request that you provide a written response within 30 days of receipt of
this letter detailing your proposed actions to upgrade performance in these
areas. Your cooperation with us in this matter is appreciated.
Sincerely,
,
