a. Exercise Evaluation The inspectors reviewed the March 23, 2011, biennial emergency preparedness exercise's objectives and scenario to ensure that the exercise would acceptably test major elements of the licensee's emergency plan and to verify that the exercise's simulated problems provided an acceptable framework to support demonstration of the licensee's capability to implement its plan. The inspectors also reviewed records of other drills and exercises conducted in 2009, 2010, and 2011, to verify that those drills' scenarios were sufficiently different from the scenario used in the March 23, 2011, exercise. Inspection Scope The inspectors evaluated the licensee's exercise performance, focusing on the risk significant activities of emergency classification, notification, and protective action decision making, implementation of accident mitigation strategies, and correction of past exercise weaknesses in the following emergency response facilities: Control Room Simulator (CRS); Technical Support Center (TSC); and  Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). The inspectors also assessed the licensee's 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 licensee's emergency plan. The inspectors attended post-exercise critiques in the TSC and EOF to evaluate the licensee's initial self-assessment of its exercise performance. The inspectors later met with the licensee's lead exercise evaluators and managers to obtain the licensee's findings and assessments of its exercise participants' performances. These self-assessments were then compared with the inspectors' independent observations and assessments to assess the licensee's ability to adequately critique its exercise performance. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This exercise evaluation inspection constituted one sample as defined in Inspection Procedure (IP) 71114.01-05. b. No findings were identified. Findings

Cornerstone:

Emergency Preparedness 1EP1 Exercise Evaluation

.1

a. Exercise Evaluation The inspectors reviewed the March 23, 2011, biennial emergency preparedness exercise's objectives and scenario to ensure that the exercise would acceptably test major elements of the licensee's emergency plan and to verify that the exercise's simulated problems provided an acceptable framework to support demonstration of the licensee's capability to implement its plan. The inspectors also reviewed records of other drills and exercises conducted in 2009 , 2 0 1 0 , and 201 1 , to verify that those drills' scenarios were sufficiently different from the scenario used in the March 23, 2011, exercise.

Inspection Scope The inspectors evaluated the licensee's exercise performance, focusing on the risk significant activities of emergency classification, notification, and protective action decision making, implementation of accident mitigation strategies, and correction of past exercise weaknesses in the following emergency response facilities:

Control Room Simulator (CRS);

Technical Support Center (TSC);

and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).

The inspectors also assessed the licensee's 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 licensee's emergency plan.

The inspectors attended post

-exercise critiques in the TSC and EOF to evaluate the licensee's initial self

-assessment of its exercise performance. The inspectors later met with the licensee's lead exercise evaluators and managers to obtain the licensee's findings and assessments of its exercise participants' performances.

These self-assessments were then compared with the inspectors' independent observations and assessments to assess the licensee's ability to adequately critique its exercise performance. Documents reviewed are listed in the to this report.

This exercise evaluation inspection constituted one sample as defined in Inspection Procedure (IP) 71114.01

-05. b. No findings were identified.

Findings 1EP5 Correction of Emergency Preparedness Weaknesses

.1

a. Correction of Emergency Preparedness Weakness es The inspector s reviewed an emergency preparedness related corrective action program item, IR 01031751, concerning a Nuclear Oversight Identified issue for inadequate compensatory measure for degraded public address system equipment , to determine whether the evaluation and corrective actions were timely and effective

. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

Inspection Scope b. No findings were identified.

Cornerstone:

Emergency Preparedness

4OA1 Performance Indicator (PI) Verification

.1

a. Drill/Exercise Performance The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the Drill/Exercise Performance PI for the period from the first quarter 2010 through fourth quarter 2010. To determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods, PI definitions and guidance contained in the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Document 99

-02, "Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline," Revision 6, were used. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's records associated with the performance indicator to verify that the licensee accurately reported the indicator in accordance with relevant procedures and the NEI guidance. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed licensee records and processes including procedural guidance on assessing opportunities for the PI, assessments of PI opportunities during pre

-designated control room simulator training sessions, and performance during other drills. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

Inspection Scope This inspection constituted one drill/exercise performance sample as defined in IP 71151-05. b. No findings were identified.Findings 4 Enclosure

.2 a. Emergency Response Organization Drill Participation

The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) Drill Participation PI for the period from the first quarter 2010 through fourth quarter 2010. To determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods, PI definitions and guidance contained in the NEI Document 99

-02, "Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline," Revision 6, were used. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's records associated with the PI to verify that the licensee accurately reported the indicator in accordance with relevant procedures and the NEI guidance. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed licensee records and processes including procedural guidance on assessing opportunities for the PI; performance during the 201 0 drills; and revisions of the roster of personnel assigned to key emergency response organization positions. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

Inspection Scope This inspection constituted one ERO drill participation sample as defined in IP 71151-05. b. No findings were identified. Findings

.3 a. Alert and Notification System

The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the Alert and Notification System (ANS) PI for the period from the first quarter 2010 through fourth quarter 2010. To determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods, PI definitions and guidance contained in the NEI Document 99

-02, "Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline," Revision 6, were used. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's records associated with the PI to verify that the licensee accurately reported the indicator in accordance with relevant procedures and the NEI guidance. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed licensee records and processes including procedural guidance on assessing opportunities for the PI and results of periodic scheduled ANS operability tests. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

Inspection Scope This inspection constituted one alert and notification system sample as defined in IP 71151-05. b. No findings were identified.
