Box 52034 Phoenix, Arizona 85072-2034 Attention:

Mr.

W.

F.

Conway Executive, Vice President, Nuclear Gentlemen:

SUBJECT:

REPORT OF MEETING WITH ANPP MANAGEMENT This refers to a meeting held with yourself, and members of your staff and myself, and other members of the NRC staff, at the NRC Region V Offices in Walnut Creek, California on August 18, 1989.

The subjects discussed are summarized in Meeting Report Nos.

50-528/89-39, 50-529/89-39, and 50-530/89-39, enclosed herewith.

With regard to the training programs deficiencies discussed during our meeting, we are particularly disappointed that those deficiencies were not thoroughly addressed sooner in light of the indicators of problems that were present in 1988 and before.

As early as mid 1987, the Director of the NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation and myself questioned your training program in the areas of simulator utilization and training management.

We continue to be vexed by the existence of barriers which appear to preclude senior ANPP management from being fully informed of developing problem areas.

You must ensure that a low threshold is maintained to raise issues to senior management, and that management is prepared to direct prompt action.

Additionally, we understand you will take the following actions in the training area:

ANPP will consider evaluating line managers in the area of training support, as a means of ensuring a continuing heightened awareness of the importance of training.

The problems with training again-highlight the poor relationship that has existed between your line organizations and the training organization.

ANPP is rotating line personnel into training positions, and vice versa, to address this concern.

e ANPP will conduct an effectiveness review of the training area in the near future to ensure your present actions transla'te into enhanced on-the-job performance.

equality Assurance will periodically and critically review the training area to preclude deficient conditions from persisting for excessive periods of time.

ANPP will complete the assessment of whether the training deficiencies invalidate the fundamental qualifications of any personne V I

AL'3 3 0

]ggg As discussed during the meeting, we concur with your assessment of the importance of ensuring the establishment of your new management team prior to the restart of Unit 3.

Additionally, you should review the status of actions taken for known problems at Unit 3 to verify that those actions are proving to be effective.

Our sense of urgency to complete this action has been heightened by recent events at Unit 2, and in particular by the July 12, 1989, reactor trip/safety injection, which was caused in part by a long standing problem with the pressurizer spray valves and by incorrect timing of the Steam Bypass Control System.

Finally, regarding your efforts to upgrade the performance of your simulator, we strongly recommend you assign to this effort your highest corporate priority in view of the impending certification deadline.

This issue is of acute concern to us considering your consistent past failures to achieve milestones on schedule.

We request that you establish clear milestones for this project, so that ANPP senior management and the NRC can closely monitor progress.

We also suggest you impress on the management of your contractor for the project the importance of achieving certification on schedule.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a),

a copy of this letter and the enclosures wi 11 be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

Should you have any questions concerning our minutes of the meeting, documented in the enclosed meeting report, we wi 11 be pleased to discuss them with you.

Sincerely, I ~

l John B. Martin Regional Administrator
