APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Public Service Company of Colorado Docket: 50-267 Ft. St. Vrain Generating Station License: DPR-34 During an NRC inspection conducted on September 23-27, 1985, two violations of NRC requirements were identified. The violations involved the failure to provide adequate training and the failure to perform adequate audits of the emergency preparedness program. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1985), the violations are listed below:

A. Failure to Provide Adequate Training 10 CFR 50.47(b)(15) states that " Radiological emergency response training is provided to those who may be called on to assist in an emergency."

Contrary to the above, on September 23-27, 1985, the NRC inspectors determined that licensee emergency training was inadequate as evidenced by the following:

(1) During emergency response scenario walkthroughs, initial notifications to the State and local authorities and to NRC were made in an improper sequence, and the controlling RERP procedure checklist was incorrect, (2) During emergency response scenario walkthroughs, on-shift health physics technicians were unable to determine the habitability of the control room and to determine the radioiodine content of a radioactive

. plume, (3) Training was not given to individuals according to their specific functional role during emergencies, and (4) PSC training program failed to establish emergency preparedness-training requirements for technical advisors and corporate personnel commensurate with their duties and responsibilities.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement VIII).

B .- Failure to Perform Adequate Reviews of the Emergency Preparedness Program 10 CFR 50.54(t) states that the licensee "shall provide for the . ..

implementation and maintenance of its emergency preparedness program." The licensee "shall provide for a review of its emergency preparedness program at least every'12 months . . . ." The review "shall include an evaluation for adequacy of interfaces with State and local governments and of licensee drills, exercises, capabilities and procedures."
