Subject:
It:spection Report No. 50-244/86-12
R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant
Docket No. 50-244
Dear Dr. Murley:
,
Inspection Report 50-244/86-12 was sent to RG&E with a
letter from Mr. Thomas T. Martin.
The inspection report concerned
an inspection conducted August 26-29, 1986, to review Emergency
Planning.
A response was requested within 30 days to address a
concern noted in the letter even though no violations were
issued.
The concern is addressed as follows:
As stated in the ' Inspection Report; "The licensee's program
was examined to determine its adequacy in regard to the
ataffing of key emergency positions (depth of personnel) and
the timeliness of augmentation of emergency response person-
nel..."
"A review of key positions in the TSC and EOF revealed that
there were at least two people assigned to each position.
However, many people were assigned to more than one posi-
tion.
A review of the call-in procedures indicate that
...
off-shift personnel are notified by telephone call-outs.
There is no specified duty roster or team assignments and
staffing
is
accomplished
by
calling
individuals
until
someone is reached for each position.
Several key positions
have call-out lists that are very large and could result in
unacceptable
response
delays
for certain positions.
A
review of the results of the Off-hours Telephone Alert Test
conducted on August 9,
1986 indicated that the licensee was
unable to contact most members of TSC staff and unable to
contact several key members of the EOF staff.

Based on this performance,
we are concerned as to the
'
licensee's ability to staff the emergency response organiza-
,
tion in a timely manner.
Since this item was self-identified,
and short-term corrective action has been taken, it was not
cited as a violation (50-244/86-12-01) ."
Following investigation of the concern related to telephone
-
alert tests, it was determined that the procedure for implementing
such call-in tests was deficient in that it (1) placed too much
burden on key personnel who had to acke several calls and (2) did
not contain specific instructions indicating the need to continue
the notification process to confirm filling key positions at
Plant and Corporate Emergency Response Facilities (ERF's).
,
An additional concern was that there was no demonstration of
depth of qualified individuals to fill key positions in the
Emergency Response
Organization.
A comprehensive
review of
available personnel qualified to fill these positions was conduc-
tad.
As a result, lists for each key position have been increased
to provide greater depth.
Corrective actions have been implemented to alleviate these
deficiencies by making more qualified people available to fill
the ERF positions and by revising the notification procedures.
j
The phone calls necessary to fill key positions have been redistri-
buted to persons not required to report to ERF's under immediate
i
notification conditions.
This distribution will free up the
Recovery Manager to begin his analysis of conditions in preparation
'
for activating the Emergency Operations Pacility (EOF) . Attachment
i
I illustrates how notification of key positions is currently
made.
In addition, procedures have been revised to include more
,
detailed instruction for callers to assure that key positions are
t
i
filled.
A pager system is available to aid in the notification
process.
A training matrix is being developed to enhance qualification
,
of the personnel listed to fill each EOF key position.
The
training will include class instruction, participation in table
top drills, read-and-acknowledge transmittals and participation
in drills or exercises.
For the longer term, a Task Force has been established with
an objective to optimize the Emergency Plan notification process.
The current revised procedures will assure an adequate response
but potential improvements will be examined.
Options which will
be reviewed include revised call lists to further reduce the
number of calls one individual must make to minimize the total
1
notification times and the investigation of automatic dialing
systems.

The inspection report also requested that a schedule be
provided to establish when the corrective actions will be complate.
Short term actions have been completed by virtue of the revised
.
lists of qualified personnel and revised procedures.
Long term
actions to enhance our response capability and to ensure a
continued high level of performance will be completed before the
next annual exercise.
A full training cycle which documents the
qualification of all emergency response personnel will have been
completed by that time.
The task force review of notification
method options is expected to be completed by April 1,
1987 and
testing of those options will be completed by June 1,
1987.
The
implementation
schedule
of
any
enhancement
options
will
ha
dependent upon the options chosen.
Va
truly yours,
& ' ~~ li u
