SUBJECT: HRC INSPECT' ION. REPORT NOS. 50-424/87-32 AND 50-425/87-23
\\
- Tnank youL for your. response of July 20, 1987, to our Notice of Violation issued
on: June'18, 1987, concerning activities conducted at your Vogtle facility. .We.
have ~ evaluated your response and found that it meets the requirements of
We will examine the implementation of your corrective actions
' during future inspections.
Pursuant to your request that the Severity Level for Violations 1 an'd 2 be
reduced from Severity Level:IV to Severity Level V, a careful review was made.
~
of your submittal and the-facts surrounding each _ violation.- Although- there was
'
t l
.-a promp :c ossification of the security aspects of the event. the violation was
based on the failure to classify the event in :accordance with the emergency
plan. The' failure to classify the event and resultant delay in notification of
State and local government agencies is a matter of more than minor safety and
-
,
environmental significance.
Thus the classification of the violation at
a
Severity Level IV 12 appropriate.
With' regard to Violation 2,' involving training, your response' stated that the
results of.'your evaluation- of the finding concluded that four of the five
individuals initially identified as not having ~been trained, in fact had been
trained although records available to the inspector' at the time of the
x
inspection showed five individuals had not been trained.
In light of the fact
- that you have determined that only one individual : had not received the
,
specialized emergency response training, we conclude that this is an isolated
example of failure to provide training.
Accordingly,- the Severity Level for
this violation hac been reduced to a Severity Level V.
Regarding Violation 3, we agree with your conenents for example 2 initiating
conditions, "most of all alarms (annunciators) or indicators lost." This item
l
- will;be. withdrawn as a violation.
Example 1, involving the loss of all onsite
anW offsite AC power or a loss of all vital DC power, is based on an
, inconsistency between the Emergency Plan and the implementing procedure.
We
understand from a telephone conversation between a membe~r of the Region II
,
staff and. the Corporate Energency Preparedness Supervisor, that actions are
being taken to bring about consistency between the Emergency Plan EALs and EALs
"found in the emergency classification and implementing instructions.
It is
important to keep in mind that one of the major needs for consistency in plans
and procedures is that the operating utility, NRC, State / local, and any
