APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Nebraska Public Power District Docket:
50-298/87-02 Cooper Nuclear Station License:
OPR-46 During an NRC insoection conducted on January 12-16, 1987, two violations of NRC requirements were identified.
The violations involved failure to perform training for perscnnel assigned to the emergency response organization and failure to submit emergency plan changes.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 Part 2, Appendix C (1985), the violations are listed below.
1.
Failure To Perform Training 10 CFR 50.54(q) requires that a licensee shall follow and maintain in effect emergency plans which meet the standards in 50.47(b) of this part and the requirements in Appendix E to this part.
Section 8.1.1 of the Cooper Nuclear Station Emergency Plan states that formal classroom training is provided to each Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) employee on an annual basis.
Emergency Plan Training Program ensures that station personnel, who will be active participants in the emergency organization, are familiar with the contents of the Emergency Plan and Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure (EPIPs).
Contrary to the abovo, on January 14, 1987, the NRC inspector reviewed selected emergency response personnel training records and determined that a control room supervisor had not received required annual formal classroom training.
The control room supervisor had received formal classroom training on July 18, 1984.
The individual terminated in April 1985 and was reinstated in December 1986.
Personnel records indicated that the individual had not received any formal classroom emergency preparedness training prior to having been assigned to the emergency response organization.
This is a Severity Level IV violation.

This is a repeat violation (298/8522-01).

Failure To submit Emergency Plan Changes 10 CFR 50.54(q) requires that a Ilcensee shall follow and maintain in effect emergency plans which meet the standards in 50.47(b) of this part and the requirements in Appendix E to this part.
10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV, requires that the organization for coping with emergencies shall be described.

- 2. A description of the onsite emergency response organization..."
10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section V, requires that changes to the Emergency Plan and Procedures shall be submitted to the NRC within 30 days of such changes.
Contrary to the above, changes to the normal organization were made without notifying the NRC within the required 30 days after the changes were effective. On October 3, 1986, a letter issued from G. R. Horn to all personnel stated that persons previously reporting to the Technical Staff Manager were to report to the Technical Staff Supervisor (with the exception of one named individual).
The Emergency Plan indi ated that the Emergency Planning Coordinator reported to the Manager, Technical Staff.
The changes made on October 3, 1986, state that the Emergency Planning Coordinator is to report to the Technical Staff Supervisor.
The NRC had not received Emergency Plan changes' indicating that change as of January 22, 1987, t
