St. Lucie Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-335 and 50-389 Reply to a Notice of Violation VIOLATION!

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.
