4. 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. '

(482/8714-02)

representatives denoted in paragraph 1 on June 5, 1987, and summarized the
