SUBJECT:
DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-346/03-14
Dear Mr. Myers:
On June 13, 2003, the NRC completed an inspection at your Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings, which were discussed on June 13, 2003, with Mr. M. Bezilla and other members of your staff.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel. Specifically, this inspection focused on emergency preparedness, including your staffs determinations of performance indicators for the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone.
On the basis of the results of this inspection, no findings of significance were identified.
In accordance with 10 CFR Part 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the USNRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of USNRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,
/RA/
John A. Grobe, Chairman Davis-Besse Oversight Panel Docket No. 50-346 License No. NPF-3 Enclosure: Inspection Report 50-346/03-14 See Attached Distribution
Mr. Lew
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000346-03-14(DRS); FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company; on 06/09-06/13/2003;
Davis-Besse Station. Emergency Preparedness Specialist Report.
The report covers a one-week baseline inspection by two regional emergency preparedness inspectors, a radiation protection inspector, 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 fifteen-month period ending March 31, 2003. No findings of significance were identified.
The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 3, dated July 2000.
REPORT DETAILS
REACTOR SAFETY
Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness
1EP1 Exercise Evaluation
Main article: IP 71114.01
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the June 10, 2003 exercises objectives and scenario to ensure that the exercise would acceptably test major elements of the licensees 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 a drill, which was conducted on May 13, 2003, to determine whether the associated accident scenario was sufficiently different from the scenario used in the June 10, 2003 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 (CRS);
- 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 CRS, 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.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
4OA1 Performance Indicator (PI) Verification
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the licensees records related to 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 data submitted to USNRC for the period from January 2002 through March 2003.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems
The following scenario and performance concerns were identified in the critique of the June 2003 exercise that could have adversely impacted response activities if scenario events had been real:
- Due to inadequate scenario pre-planning and controller actions, the mini-scenario associated with the first emergency declaration was unrealistically demonstrated such that some details were not available to the manager responsible for emergency classification decisions.
- The licensees fourth press release was potentially confusing because it did not indicate that a second, more serious emergency event had occurred that resulted in the implementation of the precautionary protective actions by offsite officials that were summarized in this press release.
4OA6 Meetings
Exit Meeting The inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. M. Bezilla and other members of licensee management and staff at the conclusion of the inspection on June 13, 2003.
The licensee acknowledged the information presented. No proprietary information was identified.
