inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is
necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirchents.
We also bring to your attention another concern, as discussed in Section 4.1
of the enclosed report, related to your selection of operating crews to
participate in emergency drills and exercises. We noted that for the three
drills and practice exercises leading up to the 1992 annual graded exercise,
the scme operating crew was selected for participation that was later
,
'
evaluated during the annual graded exercise.
None of the other five operating
crews were selected for participation in drills or practice exercises during
nearly a 4-month period prior to the graded exercise, and only two other
documented emergency drills were conducted in 1992.
In the future, we
strongly encourage you to provide for a more even distribution of the training
experience of drill and exercise participation among your operating crews.
In accordance with 10 CTP ". '00 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of
.
this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased
to discuss them with you.
Sincerely,
