SUBJECT:
NRC-EVALUATED EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE - INSPECTION
REPORT NO. 50-271/99-04
Dear Mr. Wanczyk:
The enclosed report documents an inspection for public health and safety, led by Mr. D. Silk at
Vernon and Brattleboro, Vermont. The inspection evaluated the performance of your
emergency response organization (ERO) during the April 27,1999, Vermont Yankee Nuclear
Power Station full-participation exercise. The inspectors discussed the findings of this
inspection with your staff on April 28,1999.
Based on the results of this inspection, it was determined that the overall performance of the
ERO was good and demonstrated, with reasonable assurance, that onsite emergency plans are
adequate and that your organization is capable of implementing them. Simulated events were
accurately diagnosed, emergency declarations were timely and accurate, offsite agencies were
notified in a timely manner and protective action recommendations were appropriate.
Your critique process was good. Post-exercise facility debriefs were generally candid. At the
formal critique, your staff identified numerous issues, in addition to those identified by the NRC.
//
Overall, the critique was balanced with positive and negative findings and was appropriately
//
self-critical.
No violations of NRC requirements or exercise weaknesses were identified. No response to this [
letteris required.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Praotice," a copy of this letter and its
enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
Sincerely,
ORIGINAL SIGNED BY:
Wayne D. Lanning, Director
