REPORT DETAILS
I. Organization and Scope of the Program
a. Inspection Scope
The inspector assessed whether Connecticut Yankee personnel were performing exercises at an AFR ISFSI in conformance with the commitments and requirements contained in the Connecticut Yankee Emergency Plan.
AFR ISFSI facilities, located at sites where loading operations have been completed, are essentially passive operating facilities. The inspectors review was directed towards confirming the ongoing adequacy of the emergency preparedness program.
The inspector observed the exercises, interviewed personnel, and reviewed the Emergency and 2016 Biennial Exercise Plans.
b. Observations The inspector determined that Connecticut Yankees plans and preparations for the 2016 Biennial Emergency Plan Exercise were effective at meeting the Emergency Plan requirements.
Connecticut Yankees emergency preparedness program properly coordinated with the appropriate offsite support groups, agencies, and local law enforcement agencies. The licensee invited several off-site response organizations to participate in the exercise as participants or observers including the FBI and State of Connecticut. The emergency call list was current and is checked periodically for accuracy. All revisions to the emergency plan have been submitted to the NRC and reviewed by the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response.
The licensee personnel assigned for incident detection properly recognized the event and initiated a timely response. The licensee had additional personnel on hand to handle the routine site monitoring while selected personnel were participating in the exercise. Onsite and offsite personnel were notified regarding the situation and status updates provided. Communication with the Connecticut State Police and fire and ambulance crews was constant throughout the exercises. Site security granted access to offsite emergency responders in a timely manner
c. Findings
Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of significance were identified.
II.
Exit Meeting Summary
On October 27, 2016, the inspector presented the inspection results to Robert Mitchell, Connecticut Yankee ISFSI Manager, and other Connecticut Yankee personnel during the exercise debrief.
