SUBJECT:

NRC EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS INSPECTION REPORT

50-440/97017(DRS)

Dear Mr. Myers:

On December 18,1997, the NRC completed an inspection of the Perry Nuclear Power Plant.

The inspector evaluated your emergency preparedness program the week of November 7,

1997. The onsite effort was supplemented by an in office review. The overall results of the

NRC's evaluation were communicated to your staff by phone on December 18,1997. The

enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.

Areas examined within your emergency preparedness program are identified in the report.

Within those areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and

representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of activities in progress. The

objective of the inspection effort was to determine whether activities authorized by the license

were conducted safely and in accordr,nce with NRC requirements.

Based on the results of this inspection, no violations of NRC requirements were identified.

During this inspection our observation of your activities showed the emergency preparedness

program to be effectively implemented. In particular, the emergency response facilities,

equipment, and supplies had been well maintained, management support to the program was

strong, and interviewed key emergency response personnel demonstrated competent

knowledge of responsibilities and emergency procedures. We will monitor the potential impact

on your program of the recent notable reduction in your emergency preparedness program

staff.
