| | |
| | The report covers a one-week baseline inspection by two regional emergency preparedness inspectors and a resident inspector. The inspection focused on the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone in the Reactor Safety strategic performance area during the biennial emergency preparedness exercise. This inspection also included a review of records related to the three emergency preparedness performance indicators for the period January 1, 2004 through June 30, 2004. No findings of significance were identified. |

| | {{IP sample|IP=IP 71114.01}} |
| | |
| | ====a. Inspection Scope==== |
| | The inspectors reviewed the July 2004 biennial emergency preparedness exercises objectives and scenario to ensure that the exercise would acceptably test major elements of the licensees radiological emergency plan and to verify that the exercises simulated problems provided an acceptable framework to support demonstration of the licensees capability to implement its plan. The inspectors also reviewed records of emergency preparedness drills, which were conducted between January 2004 and June 2004 to determine whether those drills scenarios were sufficiently different from the scenario used in the July 2004 exercise. |
| | |
| | The inspectors evaluated the licensees exercise performance, focusing on the risk-significant activities of emergency classification, notification, and protective action decision making, as well as implementation of accident mitigation strategies in the following emergency response facilities: |
| | * Control Room Simulator; |
| | * Technical Support Center (TSC); |
| | * Operations Support Center (OSC); and |
| | * Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). |
| | |
| | The inspectors also assessed the licensees recognition of abnormal plant conditions, transfer of responsibilities between facilities, internal communications, interfaces with offsite officials, readiness of emergency facilities and related equipment, and overall implementation of the licensees emergency plan. |
| | |
| | The inspectors attended post-exercise critiques in the TSC, OSC, and EOF to evaluate the licensees initial self-assessment of its exercise performance. The inspectors later met with the licensees lead exercise evaluators to obtain the licensees refined assessments of its exercise participants performances. These self-assessments were then compared with the inspectors independent observations and assessments to determine the licensees ability to adequately critique its exercise performance. |
| | |
| | ====b. Findings==== |

| | {{IP sample|IP=IP 71151}} |
| | |
| | ====a. Inspection Scope==== |
| | The inspectors reviewed the licensees records associated with each of the three emergency preparedness PIs to verify that the licensees program was implemented consistent with the industry guidelines in Nuclear Energy Institute publication No. 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 2, and related licensee procedures. Specifically, licensee records related to the performance of the Alert and Notification System (ANS), key Emergency Response Organization (ERO)members drill participation, and Drill and Exercise Performance (DEP) were reviewed to verify the accuracy and completeness of the PI data submitted to NRC for the period from January 2004 through June 2004. The following PIs were reviewed: |
| | Common |
| | * ANS; |
| | * ERO Drill Participation; and |
| | * DEP. |
| | |
| | ====b. Findings==== |
| | No findings of significance were identified. |

| | ==4OA6 Meetings== |
| | |
| | ===.1 Exit Meeting=== |
| | |
| | An exit meeting was conducted for Emergency Preparedness with Mr. R. Gideon and other members of licensee management and staff at the conclusion of the inspection on July 23, 2004. The licensee acknowledged the information presented. No proprietary information was identified. |
| | |
| | ===.2 Public and Media Briefing=== |
| | |
| | On July 23, 2004, an inspector summarized the NRCs preliminary conclusions on the licensees exercise and critique performances at public and media briefings hosted by Federal Emergency Management Agency Regions V and VII staffs in Cordova, Illinois. |

Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness
1EP1 Exercise Evaluation
Main article: IP 71114.01
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the July 2004 biennial emergency preparedness exercises objectives and scenario to ensure that the exercise would acceptably test major elements of the licensees radiological emergency plan and to verify that the exercises simulated problems provided an acceptable framework to support demonstration of the licensees capability to implement its plan. The inspectors also reviewed records of emergency preparedness drills, which were conducted between January 2004 and June 2004 to determine whether those drills scenarios were sufficiently different from the scenario used in the July 2004 exercise.
The inspectors evaluated the licensees exercise performance, focusing on the risk-significant activities of emergency classification, notification, and protective action decision making, as well as implementation of accident mitigation strategies in the following emergency response facilities:
- Operations Support Center (OSC); and
- Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).
The inspectors also assessed the licensees recognition of abnormal plant conditions, transfer of responsibilities between facilities, internal communications, interfaces with offsite officials, readiness of emergency facilities and related equipment, and overall implementation of the licensees emergency plan.
The inspectors attended post-exercise critiques in the TSC, OSC, and EOF to evaluate the licensees initial self-assessment of its exercise performance. The inspectors later met with the licensees lead exercise evaluators to obtain the licensees refined assessments of its exercise participants performances. These self-assessments were then compared with the inspectors independent observations and assessments to determine the licensees ability to adequately critique its exercise performance.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
4OA1 Performance Indicator (PI) Verification
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the licensees records associated with each of the three emergency preparedness PIs to verify that the licensees program was implemented consistent with the industry guidelines in Nuclear Energy Institute publication No. 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 2, and related licensee procedures. Specifically, licensee records related to the performance of the Alert and Notification System (ANS), key Emergency Response Organization (ERO)members drill participation, and Drill and Exercise Performance (DEP) were reviewed to verify the accuracy and completeness of the PI data submitted to NRC for the period from January 2004 through June 2004. The following PIs were reviewed:
Common
- ERO Drill Participation; and
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
