2.3 Details of the Review To determine the timeliness and adequacy of responses to Action Requests the inspector selected a representative sample of Action Requests for analysis.
This sample was weighted to include a greater representation from the Engineering and Plant B.etterment organization because of this groups involvement in design control.
In reviewing the Action Requests the inspector determined that responses were complete and addressed the concerns expressed in the requests.
Table I shows the chronological history of responses to the Action Requests reviewed.
The table indicates that the Station QA group had fewer Action Requests overdue than the Engineering QA Audit group.
In part this can be attributed to the nature of the action items and the more immediate effect on the plant operations than the requests generated by the Engineering QA group. However, both groups are operating in accordance with the same governing procedure.
Thq inspector reviewed the internal and external Quality and Safety Reporting System and selected responses tc concerns reported through this system.
Except to the program administrators the individuals expressing concerns remain anonymous and each concern is given a full review by the organization responsible for the area of concern.
Table 2 is a listing of the concerns reviewed and includes the receipt date and final date the response was sent to the originator.
The inspector randomly selected procedure IC-CC.BB-021(Q),
Revision 3, Channel Calibration Nuclear Boiler - Division 2 Channel B21-N6908 Low Reactor Pressure - CS Initiation Permissive and ADS - SRV B21-F013H Low-Low Set.
In reviewing this procedure it was noted that a reference specified in Table IB was incorrect in that it referred to a Technical Specification line item not required by this procedure.
The licensee took immediate action to delete this reference.
2.4 Findings During the review of Corrective Action Request HS-86-C029 the l
inspector observed that this request concerning vendor manual control and updating had increased in scope from a few manuals to the control system for all of the vendor manuals in the Technical Document Room at Hope Creek.
The underlying problem was created when the plant was turned over to the licensee by the construction contractor, i.e. by system with all accompanying records and documentation for each system, and by limitations in
.
..
.
.
the preparation of the Master Equipment List (MEL).
This method resulted in vendor manuals for identical parts used in several systems being listed for each system and consequently requiring updating for multiple entries each time the manual was revised.
The limitation in the MEL was that a maximum of nine manuals can be listed for each system.
In many cases more than nine vendor manuals were applicable to a system resulting in some manuals not being listed. The licensee has identified this as a problem and escalated the Corrective Action Request to a Management Action Request for the revision of the MEL to include only the appropriate vendor manual for each piece of equipment. This'is an unresolved item (50-354/87-21-01).pending the completion of
'
the updating of the MEL.
The inspector requested the licensee to provide the method proposed to control the manuals until the completion of the MEL revision.
The licensee committed to provide this information by October 1, 1987.
This is an unresolved item (50-354/87-21-02)
pending receipt of the requested interim control method description.
The internal and external Quality / Safety Reporting System was i
found to be effective and responses were complete and timely.
2.5 Conclusions
}
The Corrective Action system developed by the licensee is adequate.
Response time by the Engineering and Plant Betterment organization is not entirely in accordance with the time restraints imposed by the governing procedures.
In cases where major delays were observed
]
the nature of the request required a major effort to provide a i
complete resolution and management was aware of the delays through monthly reports. However, the magnitude of the task should not preclude dissemination of information regarding actions to be taken or underway.
The internal and external Quality and Safety Reporting System'was found to be adequate and functioning in an effective manner.
3.0 Unresolved Items
,
Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required in order to ascertain whether they are acceptable items or violations.
Unresolved items are discussed in paragraph 2.4.
4.0 Management Meetings
,
Licensee management was informed of the scope and purpose of the inspection at the entrance interview on August 14, 1987.
The findings
'
of the inspection were discussed with licensee representatives during
,
the course of the inspection and presented to licensee management at the August 21, 1987 exit interview (see paragraph 1 for attendees).
