Contrary to the above, at about 8:00 p.m. on October 19, 1987, the Unit 2 reactor automatically shut down from at'out 90 percent power. ECCS was initiated and began discharging into the reactor coolant system. However, the NRC was not notified of this situation, which the licensee initially analyzed as a 1-hour, non-emergency report until about 9:17 p.m. ,

approximately 75 to 77 minutes after reactor shutdown and ECCS initiation.

Thi.s is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

2. 10 CFR 50.54(q) states, in part, that "a licensee authorized to operate a nuclear power reactor shall follow and maintain in effect emergency plans which meet the standards in 50.47(b) and the requirements in Appendix E to this part. Section 8.5 of Revision 6/6A to the Generating Stations Emergency Plan (GSEP) states, in part, that the " names and phone numbers of the GSEP organization and support personnel shall be reviewed and updated at least quarterly." The word " quarterly" is interpreted as 92 days plus a grace period of 25 percent (23 days).

Contrary to the above, as of November 5, 1987, Revision 20 of procedure QEP 310-T3, Prioritized Notification Listing, used for callout of the onsite emergency organization was stamped as approved on June 24, 1987 and was to be effective for the period July through September 1987.
