Notifications and Communications 82203
Notifications and communications procedures _were~ inspected to determine
the licensee's compliance with 10 CFR 50.54(q), 10 CFR 50.47(b)(6), 10 CFR
Appendix E.IV.E.9, and Technical Specification 6.8.
Technical Specification 6.8, " Procedures and Programs," states, in part,
I
that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained
covering emergency plan implementation.
A review of communication records for selected communication checks
revealed that records for the period Jtnuary through March 1987
apparently were missing.
This is an apparent violation of Technical Specification 6.8.
(482/8714-01)
5.
Shift Staffing and Augmentation 82205
Emergency response personnel notification procedures were inspected to
determine the licensee's compliance to 10 CFR 50.54(q),
10 CFR 50.47(b)(2), and Technical Specification 6.8.
The NRC inspector requested that an unannounced test be conducted to
determine the availability of the non-responding communicators
(Communicators). The Communicators were divided into two teams of three
l
each. The licensee representatives attempted unsuccessfully to contact
the primary, secondary, and tertiary Communicator from each team.
(One
person was contacted following approximately 40 minutes of calling.)
l
This is an apparent violation of Technical Specification 6.8.
