SUBJECT:

NRC-EVALUATED EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE - INSPECTION

REPORT NO. 50-443/98-03

Dear Mr. Feigenbaum:

The enclosed report documents an inspection for public health and safety, led by

Mr. D. Silk at Seabrook, New Hampshire. The inspection evaluated the performance of

your emergency response organization during the June 3,1998, Seabrook Station full-

participation exercise. The inspectors discussed the findings of this inspection with your

staff on June 4,1998.

Based on the results of this inspection, it was determined that the overall performance of

the emergency response organization was sufficient to demonstrate with reasonable

assurance that onsite emergency plans are adequate and that your organization is capable

of implementing them. Simulated events were accurately diagnosed, emergency

declarations were timely and accurate, offsite agencies were notified in a timely manner

and protective action recommendations were appropriate. However, your organization

could have been more aggressive in pursuing assessment and mitigation strategies during

the exercise. As such, an exercise weakness was identified pertaining to the delay in

efforts to assess and mitigate the simulated release through the stuck open steam

generator safety relief valve. Your post-exercise critique process was assessed as very

good as your staff was appropriately self-critical. No violations of NRC requirements were

identified. No response to this letter is necessary.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter

and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

Sincerely,

ORIGINAL SIGNED BY:
