Licensee Action on Previous Enforcement Matters
(Closed).VIO 50-302/85-18-01.
Abnormal Procedure P-961, " Earthquake," was
reviewed and corrected the previous violation identified for inadequate
emergency procedures for seismic events.
4.
Unresolved Item *
One unresolved item was identified pertaining to the correction of
deficiencies identified in the formal critique for the 1985 Emergency
Exercise.
(SeeParagraph7),

Notification and Communication (82203)
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.47(b)(5) and (6); 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E,
Section IV.D; and Section 9 of the licensee's Emergency Plan, this area was
inspected to determine whether the licensee was maintaining a capability for
notifying and communicating (in the event of an emergency) among its own
personnel and offsite supporting agencies and authorities.
The inspector reviewed the licensee's notification procedures.
The
procedures were consistent with the emergency classification and Emergency
Action Level (EAL) scheme used by the licensee.
The inspector determined
that the procedures made provisions for message verification. Although the
procedures appeared adequate for making required notifications, difficulties
in correctly implementing the procedures were observed during a walk-through
in the Control Room and is discussed further in Paragraph 7 of this report.
The content of initial emergency messages was reviewed and discussed with
licensee representatives.
The initial messages appeared to meet the
guidance of NUREG-0654, Sections II.E.3 and II.E.4.
However, the inspector
noted that the " State of Florida Notification Message Form for Nuclear Power
Plants" that was to be used by the Shift Supervisor in the Control Room was
almost unreadable because of the poor print quality. This was acknowledged
for corrective action by the licensee and was identified for follow-up in a
subsequent inspection (IFI 50-302/86-25-01).
No violations or deviations were identified.
- An Unresolved Item is a matter about which more information is required to
determine whether it is acceptable or may involve a violation or deviation.

Changes to the Emergency Preparedness Program (82204)
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.47(b)(16); 10 CFR 50.54(q); and 10 CFR Part 50,
Appendix E, Sections IV and V, this area was reviewed to determine whether
changes were made to the program since the last routine inspection in
May 1985 and to note how these changes affected the overall state of
The inspector reviewed the licensee's program for making changes to the
emergency plan and implementing procedures.
The inspector verified that
changes to the plan and procedures were reviewed and approved by management.
It was also noted that Revision 5 to the plan dated May 30, 1986, was
submitted to the NRC within 30 days of the effective date, as required.
No violations or deviations were identified.
7.
Knowledge and Performance of Duties (Training)
(82206)
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.47(b)(15) and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.F
this area was inspected to determine whether emergency response personnel
understood their emergency response roles and could perform their assigned
functions.
The inspector reviewed the description (in the emergency plan) of the
training program, training procedure, and selected lesson plans, and
interviewed members of the instructional staff.
Based on these reviews and
interviews, the inspector determined that the licensee had established a
formal emergency training program.
Recordsoftraining(identifiedwithReportID: NT 205R02 as of 7/16/86) for
selected members of the emergency organization were reviewed. The training
record for a senior fire protection specialist revealed that only three fire
brigade training sessions had been attended since March 21, 1984.
This
attendance of training is not in accordance with Section 19.1.4 of the
Radiological Emergency Response Plan which directs that each member of the
Fire Brigade attend training at least quarterly.
This finding was
identified as a violation of 10 CFR 50.54(q) which requires in part that the
licensee follow and maintain in effect emergency plans which meet the
requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E.
Section IV.F of Appendix E states in
part that the emergency plans shall cc,ntain a description of periodic
retaining programs for fire control teams (fire brigade) (50-320/86-25-02).
The inspector conducted walk-through evaluations with selected key members
of the emergency organization. During these walk-throughs, individuals were
given various hypothetical sets of emergency conditions and data and asked
to talk through the response they would make if such an emergency actually
existed.
The individual designated as the initial emergency coordinator demonstrated
familiarity with emergency procedures and equipment, however, a problem was
observed in the area of notification.
Specifically, during one walk-through

the individual that was designated to make notification to the State Warning
Point, Tallahassee, was not adequately trained as indicated by:
(1) the
individual indicated that notification would be made via the National
Warning System (NAWAS), which the plan identifies as the back up
communication system to the State Hot Ring Down Telephone System which is to
be the primary means of contact, and (2)
the individual was not familiar
with the State of Florida Notification Message Fom to be used for making
notification. This finding was identified as a violation of 10 CFR 50.54(q)
which requires in part that nuclear power reactor licensees follow and
maintain in effect emergency plans which meet the planning standards of
Paragraph 50.47(b)(15) states that radiological emergency
response training be provided to those who may be called upon to assist in
an emergency.
Contrary to the above, the licensee had failed to provide
necessary training to an individual who was designated as an emergency
response member to make notifications (50-302/86-25-03).
Two violations were identified.
8.
Licensee Audits (82210)
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) and (16) and 10 CFR 50.54(t), this area was
inspected to determine whether the licensee had performed an independent
review or audit of the emergency preparedness program.
Records of audits of the program were reviewed. The records showed that an
independent audit of the program was documented in Audit Report No. QP-265,
dated March 22, 1985.
This audit fulfilled the 12-month frequency
requirement for such audits. The audit records showed that the State and
local government interfaces were evaluated, and that findings concerning the
interfaces were made available to State and local government authorities.
Audit findings and recommendations were presented to plant and corporate
management.
Licensee emergency plans and procedures required critiques following
exercises and drills.
Licensee documentation showed that critiques were
hcid following the annual exercise.
The records showed that deficiencies
were discussed in the critique and recommendations for corrective action
were made.
However, records were not made available to the inspector that
permitted an audit of the corrective actions that had been made.
The
records provided indicated only that the item had been closed.
The
inspector was informed that additional documentation specifying the
corrective action taken may be available but could not be located.
The
inspector identified this as an unresolved item (50-302/86-25-04).
On
August 11, 1986, the licensee informed the NRC inspector that the additional
documentation was available for review during a future inspection.
One unresolved item was identified.
