May 22,1998 Page1 Statement of Violation During an NRC inspection conducted on March 24-26,1998, two violations ofNRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the " General Statement ofPolicy and
'
Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violations are listed below: CFR 50.54(q) requires licensees to follow and maintain in effect an emergency plan which meets the standards in 50.47(b) and the requirements of Appendix E to Part 50. Licensees are permitted to make changes to the plan without Commission approval only if the changes do not decrease the effectiveness of the plan and the plan, as changed, continues to mer.t 50.47(b) planning standards and Appendix E requirement CFR 50.47(b)(2) requires, in part, that the onsite emergency response plan
- must meet the standard of providing that adequate staffing for initial facilit accident response in key functional areas be maintained at all times, and timely augmen'tation of response capabilities is availabl Contrary to these requirements, on May 29,1997, the licensee made changes to its l emergency plan, without Commission approval, that decreased the effectiveness of the plan and did not continue to meet Planning Standard 50.47(b)(2). Specifically, augmentation capabilities were reduced as follows:
(1) The response goal for a dedicated communicator position was changed from 30-45 minutes to 60 minutes, (2) The response goal for the position that performs core thermal hydraulics assessment (technical assessment coordinator) was changed from 30-45 minutes to 60 minute (3) The response goal for the health physics coordinator, who directs assessment of onsite radiological conditions and support activities, including protective measures, was changed from 30-45 minutes to 90 minute (4). The response goal for the operations support coordinator, who forms, directs, coordinates, and briefs inplant teams, was changed from 60-75

Attachment to ULNRC-3815 May 22,1998 Page 3 Reason for the Violation l In May of 1997, Union Electric personnel made substantial changes to the emergency
!
response plan. In reviewing the plan changes under the 10 CFR 50.54(q) process, it was determined that the aggregate of the plan changes did not decrease the effectiveness of the plan. The 10 CFR 50.54(q) analysis for the RERP, Revision 21, was flawed in that the personnel involved with the analysis only considered overall RERP effectiveness and did not consider each individual part of the change as a change potentially requiring prior NRC approval. Procedures governing the evaluation process did not provide adequate guidance to insure that plan changes requiring prior NRC approval were identifie Corrective Steps Taken and Results Achieved:
Based upon the results of the NRC reactive inspection conducted March 24-26,1998, a change notice to the radiological emergency response plan was issued that revised the response goals back to the previously approved radiological emergency response pla This was implemented on March 30,199 Revision 22 to the radiological emergency response plan was generated for NRC review l and approval, and a meeting was held at NRR to discuss the plan changes on April 2,1998. Since Revision 22 is considered a potential decrease in effectiveness, Chapter 5 has been submitted for Commission revie An interim response organization was established and trained to ensure the previously approved response goals for augmentation would be me Corrective Steps to Avoid Further Violations:
An outside consultant has conducted an independent review of our administrative procedures for radiological emt.rgency response plan chrnges. This review found that existing procedures address the methodology for making changes to the emergency response plan but those procedures should be enhanced to improve the evaluation proces Procedures governing RERP changes will be revised to provide additional guidance to identify changes requiring prior NRC approva Emergency Preparedness staff and related plant management responsible for making !
changes to the radiological emergency response plan will be provided training on application of the 10 CFR 50.54(q) regulations in the plan review / revision proces I

Licensees are permitted to make changes to the plan without Commission approval only if the changes do not decrease the effectiveness of the plan and the plan, as changed, continues to meet 50.47(b) planning standards and Appendix E requirement Contrary to the above, on May 29,1997, the licensee made changes to its emergency plan, without Commission approval, that decreased the effectiveness of the plan. Specifically, the requirement to collect and analyze offsite sample media (solid, liquid, gas) was deleted from the description of the radiological monitoring drill. This resulted in a reduction in field monitoring team training requirement This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement VIII)(50-483/98006-02).
Reason for the Violation Union Electric Emergency Preparedness staff met with the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) and Department of Health, to discuss the responsibilities for environmental sampling. In the State of Missouri Radiological Emergency Response Plan, environmental sampling is the responsibility of the Department of Health. Based upon the State performing environmental sampling, Union Electric personnel determined that there was no reduction in effectiveness of the emergency plan for this item. The 10 CFR 50.54(q) analysis for this RERP revision was flawed in that this was a reduction in effectiveness of Union Electric's capabilit Corrective Steps Taken and Results Achieved:
Based upon the results of the NRC reactive inspection conducted March 24-26,1998, a j change notice to the radiological emergency response plan was issued that revised the environmental sampling requirement back to the previously approved radiological emergency response plan. Procedures were revised and training was verified current for field monitoring teams. This was implemented on March 30,199 l l
