SUBJECT: DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION BASELINE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS BIENNIAL EXERCISE INSPECTION REPORT 05000346/20009502
Dear Mr. Allen:
On May 15, 2009, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a Baseline Emergency Preparedness Biennial Exercise inspection at your Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on May 15, 2009, with you and other members of your staff. The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel. Based on the results of this inspection, no NRC-identified and no self-revealed findings of very low safety significance were identified. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000346/2009502; 05/11/2009 - 05/15/2009; Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station; Baseline Emergency Preparedness Biennial Exercise Inspection. This report covers a 1 week period of announced baseline inspection by two regional inspectors and one resident inspector. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination
Process" (SDP). Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006.
A. NRC-Identified
and Self-Revealed Findings
Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness
No findings of significance were identified.
B. Licensee-Identified Violations

REPORT DETAILS
REACTOR SAFETY
Cornerstone:
1EP1 Exercise Evaluation
.1 Exercise Evaluation
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the May 12, 2009, 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 2007, 2008, and 2009, to verify that those drills' scenarios were sufficiently different from the scenario used in the May 12, 2009, exercise. 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 CRS, 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. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
4OA1 Performance Indicator (PI) Verification
.1 Drill/Exercise Performance
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the Drill/Exercise Performance PI for the period from the first quarter 2008 through first quarter 2009. 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 5, 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, performance during the 2008 exercise, and performance during other drills. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one drill/exercise performance sample as defined in IP 71151-05.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
.2 Emergency Response Organization Drill Participation
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) Drill Participation PI for the period from the first quarter 2008 through first quarter 2009. 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 5, 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 2008 exercise and other drills; and revisions of the roster of personnel assigned to key emergency response organization positions. Documents reviewed are listed in the to this report. This inspection constituted one ERO drill participation sample as defined in IP 71151-05.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
4.3 Alert and Notification System
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the Alert and Notification System (ANS) PI for the period from the first quarter 2008 through first quarter 2009. 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 5, 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 ANS operability tests. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one alert and notification system sample as defined in IP 71151-05.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
4OA5 Other Activities
.1 (Closed) NRC Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/175 "Emergency Response Organization, Drill/Exercise Performance Indicator, Program Review"
The inspector performed TI 2515/175, ensured the completeness of the TI's Attachment 1, and then forwarded the data to NRC, Headquarters.
4OA6 Management Meetings
.1 Exit Meeting Summary
On May 15, 2009, the inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. B. Allen and other members of the licensee staff. The licensee acknowledged the issues presented. The inspectors confirmed that none of the potential report input discussed was considered proprietary.
