c.
Licensee Documentation of Procedural Reviews Paragraph 9.0 of procedure FNP-0-AP-1 requires the perforn:ance and documentation of periodic reviews of safety-related procedures.
While reviewing the implementation of this reqairement, the' inspector was informed by the licensee that the onsite Operation Qrality Assurance (0QA) group had identified an inadequacy in this' arer in that not all ensite groups were performing the required reviews and that a uniform system was not available for documenting any reviews that had been performed.
In the Corrective Action Report, CAR-328, approved by the Plant Manager on January 5,1979, the corrective action for this condition identified by the OQA group is as follows:
Document Control will provide each group supervisor with a list of safety-related procedures which they are responsible for reviewing.
Each supervisor shall assign personnel to perform the required review.
Reviews shall be documented by initialing and dating the procedure listings. Procedure listings will be returned to Document Control upon review completion.
In the future, Document Control will issue periodic printouts of procedures that are due for review.
The estimated completion date for this corrective action is July 1, 1979.
During the exit interview, the licensee committed to making available for inspection documentation of the review of all safety-related refueling procedures prior to their use during the upcoming refueling outage.
Within the areas inspected, no items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
