2 Changes to Section 6.6.1 of the SEP (Respiratory Protection Equipment) l.
deleting the reference to Appendix D showing the location of self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) units but including the location of SCBA in Section l
9.6 of Emergency Procedure A-07, Rev. 2, November 6,1997, " Equipment and Supplies."
Changes to Section 7.2 (Training), for both emergency response organization (ERO) and non-ERO personnel. The general training requirements for the ERO were clarified and for non-ERO personnel the training frequency was changed from annual to biennial.
I e
Changes to Section 3.1 of the SEP (Emergency Classification) by including examples ofinitiating conditions in the Classification Logic Flow Chart in Emergency Procedure A-04, Rev. 2 dated 8/25/97 (pages 6 thru 9 of 9).
In Westinghouse's April 7,1998, letter in response to NRC's request for additional information, Westinghouse stated in Attachment A, ite:n 4, that in the next revision of Emergency Procedure A-04, Rev. 2, dated 8/25/97 that the examples that were noted to be missing would be included.
In addition, as discussed in a May 6,1998, teleconference call between E. Flack and A. Gooden of the NRC and J. Heath of Westinghouse, Westinghouse agreed to provide annual evacuation trai.ning for all plant personnel which will address: (1) the voice communications system, (2) manual fire alarm pull stations, (3) the criticality siren, (4) flashing blue beacon and message waming panels, (5) evacuation routes, (6) assembly area locations, (7) the scan out and accountability procedure, and (8) employees responsibilities during emergency situations. Westinghouse agreed to maintain documentation of this training.
CONCLUSION l
The staff concludes that the licensee's revisions to the SEP do not decrease the effectiveness of the SEP, and are acceptable.
The Region 11 inspection staff has no objection to this prop sed ion.
