3 ATTACIDENT 1
i EXERCISE WEAKNESS #1 1.
The licensee failed to adequately inform the State and the NRC Operations Center of both change in plant conditions that warranted alert declarations.
(50-373/86-001-01; 50-374/86-001-01 Sections 5a and 5b)
CORRECTIVE RCTIONS TAKEN l
LaSalle Acting Station Directors will be informed of the specific weaknesses identified in the exercise. Special emphasis will be made concerning the need to notify the State and NRC authorities when changes in plant conditions result in entering new Emergency Action Level items within the same classification level.
1 I
This action will be completed by July 31, 1986.
EXERCISR WEAKNESS #2 I
i The post-accident sampling team failed to follow procedural guid-i ance in LZP 1330-24 regarding specified time periods to perform procedure steps, and to adequately demonstrate good Health Physics practices when
[
i collecting, handling, and transporting samples.
(50-373/86-001-02, t
50-374/86-001-02 Section 5d) t CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TAKEN l
The time periods specified in LZP 1330-24 are minimum flow and l
purge times. The extension of a flow or purge time does not have a
(
detrimental effect on sample analysis nor does it make the sample less j
representative.
I i
Adequate procedural guidance is provided in LAP 1330-24 for proper
(
Health Physics practices to be followed when handling radioactive samples l
and when elevated radiation levels are encountered in the plant. The problem arose from personnel failing to follow procedural guidance.
1 u
To correct this weakness, a formal training session on LZP 1330-24 l
will be conducted for all Radiation / Chemistry Technicians. Specific l
guidance is provided in this training on observing indicated time periods and following health physics practices when transporting samples from the l
High Radiation Sample System to the appropriate counting facility. This training will be completed by July 1, 1986.

~ EXERCISE WEAKNESS #3 Certain EOF staff failed to follow adequate procedural guidance when formulating the initial offsite protective action recommendation following the General Emergency declaration.
(50-373/86-001-03; 50-374/86-001-03 Section Se)
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TAKEN A memo interpreting the procedural guidance for formulating the initial offsite protective action recommendation following the declaration of a General Emergency will be sent to all currently qualified Emergency /
Environmental Coordinators. The training program for the Emergency /
Environmental Coordinator will be revised to include this interpretation.
The memo will be sent by June 6, 1986 and the revision to the training Program will be made by October 1, 1986.
EXERCISE WEAKNESS #4 The licensee's EOF and JPIC staffs failed to adequately coordinate the timing of messages to State officials via the NARs with press briefings regarding the initiatiation and termination of the release.
(50-373/86-001-04; 50-374/86-001-04 Section 5g)
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TAKEN A copy of the subject weakness and its supporting details will be sent to all Emergency News Center (ENC) Directors and Recovery Managers (RM). Further, a meno will be sent to the ENC Director and Recovery Managers re-emphasizing the use of NARS forms in conjunction with news releases and the appropriate approval of news releases. These documents will be sent by June 6, 1986.
