E_NCLOSURE Inconsistencies in Plan I
i 1.
In Section 4.1, Table 4-1, Item 11, Page 32 of Revision 20, the initiating condition for Site Area Emergency, states,. in part, that most or all annunciators lost for more than 15 minutes and plant transient initiated or in progress.
The time allowance of more than 15 minutes, is inconsistent with Item 12, Page 1-13 of Appendix 1 to NUREG-0654.
The cited time allowance for declaration of the event could result in l
undetermined conditions which raay compromise plant safety.
2.
Table 6-3:
The General Emergency Protective Action Recommendations Flow Chart does not consider a core melt sequence where significant releases from containment are not yet taking place and large amounts of fission produm are not yet in the containment atmosphere.
This finding is inconsistent with Item 4, Page 1-17 of Appendix 1, to NUREG-0654, and Attachment I to Information Notice 83-28.
