• Changes to the Emergency Preparedness Program (82204)

Pursuant to '10 CFR 50.47(b)(16),10 CFR 50.54(q), and 10 CFR, Appendix E, t Sections IV and V, selected areas were reviewed to determine whether recent changes had been made to the program and whether these changes affected the 4 overall state of emergency preparedness. The areas evaluated were taken

.from - Section 5.0, Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP), Sequoyah Nuclear Performance Pla Discussions were held with licensee personnel to verify the status of the

REP assessment as presented in the Sequoyah Nuclear Performance Plan.

I Discussions revealed that the full time REP Project Engineer position appears to be effective in working with management on site and coordinating The reference to the REP

.

l with offsite TVA and non-TVA organization program review in October 1984, the REP project engineer's role in drills and exercises and the implementation of a system to track program requirements were not significant to the REP program from a regulatory perspective, rather they were aids to the REP project engineer in the performance of his responsibilities.

The inspector reviewed REP Implementing Procedure IP-10, " Medical Emergency Procedure" and verified that it was contained in the licensed operator requalification module as indicated by the licensee. During the inspection, nothing was identified that conflicted with the adequacy of the REP training j program, the licensee's audit of the 1984 and 1985 exercises, and the revised REP Implementing Procedure IP-5, " General Emergency" as previously

,

identified in inspection report 50-327, 328/85-41.

I No violations or deviations were identifie .. Dose Calculation and Assessment (82207)

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.47(b)(9), this area was inspected to determined whether there was an adequate method for assessing tne consequences of an actual or potential radiological releas The emergency organization supporting dose calculation and assessment had changed. TVA's Radiological Dose Assessment Staff had been permanently consolidated as an integral function into the Central Emergency Control Center (CECC) in Chattanooga, Tennessee. This function was located in

'

Muscle Shoals, Alabama, prior to June 1985. This reorganization and the respective assignment of responsibility for dose calculations and assessment appeared to be adequately provided for in the September 30, 1985, Sequoyah

- IE Bull'etin (92703)

IE Bulletin 79-18: Audibility of alarms in high-noise area The inspector reviewed the work plans and held discussions with licensee personnel responsible for the systems engineering involved in resolving the high-noise area audibility deficiencies. The inspector randomly selected four sirens and six strobe lights (approximately 25?J of the new installations) from the drawing showing the installations made as a result of the engineering change notices issued to correct the deficiencies. All sirens and strobe lights were found to be located as shown and appeared to be functiona The licensee representative stated that a systems test verifying the effectiveness of these alarms will be performed during the next operating period. Accordingly, item 79-BU-18 will be closed based on the installation of the alarm An inspection followup item 50-327, 328/86-03-01 is opened to provide for an evaluation of the licensee's system test to determine the effectiveness of the modified alarm system in high noise areas.
