10 CFR 50 Appendix R,"Fire Protection Program for Nuclear Power Facilities Operating Prior to January 1, 1979", Criterion III,"Specific Requirements", paragraph H,"Fire Brigade", required, in part, that: "The qualification of the fire brigade members shall include an annual physical examination to determine their ability to perform strenuous fire fighting activities".

Contrary to the above, ten fire brigade members failed to complete an annual physical examination.

These fire team members were assigned for a total of 61 shift fire team positions in April, 1996.This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I)It RESPONSEc FPL concurs with the violation.

St.Lucie Plant did not have effective processes for ensuring that special qualification requirements for certain emergency response personnel were current.G.neral assignment of personnel to the fire team was by metns of the monthly Emergency Roster, which is published by the Plant's Training Department.

The monthly roster was based on fire protection training and did not account for physical exams, respirator fits, and respirator physicals.

A separate system, Radiation Exposure Monitoring and Access Control System (REMACS), existed for notifying Operations supervision of the status of these additional qualifications.

The Nuclear Watch Engineer (NWE), who is responsible for assuring the adequacy of staffing by on-shift personnel for the fire team duties, failed to perform th'is function.Contributing to this failure of individual performance was the fact that there was no checklist to prompt a crosscheck of the REMACS printout against the Emergency Roster prior to personnel being assigned to the fire team.Consequently, he did not properly confirm all applicable qualifications were current prior to assigning on-shift personnel to the fire team.

0'~0 St.Lucie Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos.50-335 and 50-389 Reply to a Notice of Violation 3~A.B.C.The responsible NWE was counseled and disciplined.

At the time the violation was identified, the shift complement of, licensed and non-licensed operators (including fire team)was reviewed to assure that assigned individuals met all qualification requirements.

Physical examinations and supporting documentation for operator respirator qualifications were reviewed and verified to be accurate and current.D.I The documentation for Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)training was reviewed.The training records for seven individuals in the operations department were not retrievable.

These individuals were subsequently retrained.

E.The Operations Scheduler has been assigned the responsibility and accountability of tracking and ensuring maintenance of general qualifications (such as RCAT, GET, respirator fit, respirator physicals).

A.B.C.D.The Emergency Roster format will be revised, by August 1, 1996, to include Operations Department qualifications.

The Emergency Roster will be published by the St.Lucie Plant Training Department each month and will list the required qualifications for the positions, as well as the individuals who are qualified to fill those positions.

Plant administrative procedure AP 0005729, Fire Protection Traininy, Qualification and Requalification, was revised to require notification of on-shift Operations management of the failure of a physical examination, or failure of Fire Brigade training/requalification by Operations Department personnel.

Health Physics procedures HP-73, Portacount Plus Fit Test System, and HPP-60, Respiratory Protection Manual, were revised to require notification of on-shift Operations management of the failure of a respirator qualification by Operations Department personnel.

The Operations Supervisor issued a Night Order reemphasizing the personal responsibility of each individual in the Operations Department, as stated in

5.Full compliance was achieved on May 7, 1996, when the existing and on-coming shift complements of operators (including fire team)were reviewed and assigned to shift responsibilities with confirmed current physical examination qualifications.
