The NRC inspector also contacted other plant personnel including administrative and clerical personne . Corrective Action i

The objective of this inspection was to determine whether the licensee has developed a comprehensive correction action program to identify, follow and correct safety-related problems. In this regard, the Technical-

[

Specifications (TS), the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR), the l Quality Assurance Program for Operation Policy Document, Revision 2, dated April 29, 1985, and the following procedures were reviewed by the NRC inspector:

A sample of 3 recent audits and 7 surveillar.ces was reviewed in detail. The NRC inspector found that internally identified nonconformances were documented on Nonconformance Reports (NCRs) and when dppropriate, also documented on Licensee Event Reports (LERs). It was verified by the NRC inspector that the Station Operations Review Comittee (SORC) had reviewed all 1986 LERs. A monthly status report was found of all NCRs and LERs. This report was reviewed by the inspector.

t i External identification of problems was found by the NRC inspector to be based on review of NRC documents such as Bulletins, Notices, Generic l Letters, NUREG CR-2000 (offsite LERs) and Inspection Reports. Also, l industry sources such as Institute of Nuclear Power Operation's (INP0's)

l Significant Operating Experience Reports (S0ERs), Significant Event

'

Reports, and vendor information; e.g., General Electric Service Information Letters (SILs) were reviewed by the licensee. External audits by INP0, insurers, and consultants were in the data base reviewed by CN The NRC inspector found that, when an item required action, it was entered j

into the CNS Action Item Tracking System (AITS). Recent AITS monthly reports-were inspected. The review process was found to be documented I

with a transmittal form and controlled with a tickler file. The licensee's review process was inspected on five recently issued SOER Trending reports of quality problems had been issued; however, recent reports had been suspended while the licensee evaluates the trending

.

l program. Trending reports for the first two quarters of 1985 were

,

reviewed by the NRC inspector. The trending reports summarized all I closed NCRs and internal audit findings, and catalogued them by systems l

.,

i-4-and by cause codes. The NRC inspector found that it was difficult to identify the discipline or work unit responsible for errors. Other sources of information, e.g., NRC findings, consultants, INP0, etc,. were not used in this data base. There were no correction factors for activity level In short, the "Pareto Principal" was not fully utilized to direct corrective action to a given group of personnel for a given problem and remedy. Because these and other comments were under consideration by CNS management to improve the trending reports, the subject of trending reports is an unresolved item to be reviewed during a later inspection (298/8620-01).

3. Unresolved Items Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required in order to ascertain whether or not the items are acceptable, violations, or deviations. The following unresolved item was discussed in this report:

Paragraph Item Subject 2 8620-01 Trend Reports 4. Exit Meeting The NRC inspector conducted an exit meeting on June 27, 1986, with the licensee personnel denoted in paragraph 1. Both NRC resident inspectors also attended. At this meeting, the scope and findings of the inspection were summarized.
