CALVERT CLIFFS REPLY TO NRC EXAMINATION REPORT

\ 50-317/88-26 (OL) AND ' 50-318/88-26 (CL)

.-

o The subject report provided concerns regarding use of Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) during a necent NRC administered license examination (December 6-8, 1988).

Our license candidates did not implement two EOPs in a manner consistent with the guidance provided in each EOP. The following specific examples were provided: Candida:es either did not use EOP-0 (Post Trip Immediate Actions) flow charts, which identify the optimal Recovery Procedure, or when used, did not follow the guidance provide . Contrary to the instrucQns provided in EOP-8 (Functional Recovery Procedure), when candid r,s entered the EOP, they often transferred out of the EOP prior to c mpletion. In addition, the candidates evaluated  ;

'

the Safety Function Acceptance Criteria in the order in which they were presented in the EOP, instead of evaluating those which were in highest

~

jeopard , The above concerns were discussed -with the examiners following the license examinatio Based on these discussions and a review of the subject EOPs and our initial license operator training program, the following actions have been taken:

o The flowcharts for EOP-0 have been revised. The flowcharts provide additional guidance for both entering the appropriate Recovery Procedure based on specific plant conditions, and responding to multiple or undiagnosed event j o Consistent with the changes to EOP-0, the. Entry Conditions for EOP-8 have been revised to ' include multiple event i o The priority and method of monitoring EOP-8 Safety Function Acceptance  !

Criteria and implementing recovery actions have been clarifie ;

o The Exit Conditions have been separated from the Entry Conditions and. now provide clearly defined circumstances under which EOP-8 may be exite !

o Extensive classroom and simulator training on these revised EOPs has since been provided to licensed operators as part of the requalification training program, o Our initial license operator training program will include additional training on the proper implementation of EOP-0 and EOP-8. License candidates will receive additional simulator training for multiple major events requiring use of EOP- .

o All training programs will continue to place strong emphasis on procedure complianc !
