Appendix A Consolidated Table of Recommendations (Contd.)
No. Lesson-Learned Problem Recommendations Report 13.0 Tracking Systems Indian Point 2 There needs to be a centralized, official agency tracking system and archive Millstone for corrective actions and the corresponding recommendations from lessons South Texas learned. Also, an effectiveness review and lessons learned process that focuses solely on verifying corrective actions effectiveness and proper closeout should be established as a permanent entity within the agency.
Those corrective actions that tend to linger or require a policy decision should be brought to senior managements attention in a timely manner. This process should also have (1) a separate database for the corrective actions and (2) periodic reports issued to the Office Director and all Division Directors.
Additionally, line organizations should also conduct an effectiveness review of their own corrective actions.
Data Management ADAMS has the potential to be an excellent database for storing status and closeout documents that contain dispositioned corrective actions associated with lessons learned reports. This database needs to be improved to better access information; specifically, profiling records from lessons learned task force reports need to be improved. Also, guidance should be established to require that all status and closeout documents be input into ADAMS as agency records.
A-4
Appendix A Consolidated Table of Recommendations (Contd.)
No LLRD Problem Recommendation 14.0 South Texas 5.2.1 IIPB should continue to monitor the performance of inspectors who complete Indian Point 2 Inspectors Knowledge, the revised qualification process and those that receive training through the Millstone Training and Skills refresher and self study courses designed to instill the fundamentals of the (All) inspector competency model.

Databases that are managed by OES should be kept current and more comprehensive to give a complete history on the subject matter.
IIPB should continue its efforts with the electronic Web page geared towards making information (such as results of inspection reports and operating experience) more assessable to inspectors. The search capability from the inspection report and operating experience database should include the ability to perform searchs on equipment failures, effected plants, system types, components, words, complete history, etc. Currently, the developmental plans for the electronic Web page do not include a search capability on inspection reports. (The STPLLTF report had an almost identical recommendation).
17.0 All 5.3.2 IIPB should continue to take measures to codify a questioning attitude and to Questioning Attitude conduct an effectiveness review on the measures taken thus far.

APPENDIX C NRR DATABASES
Appendix C - NRR Databases When the task force was unable to obtain closure documents to verify that the lessons learned recommendations were completed and effective, NRR official agency tracking systems were searched for the dispositioned corrective actions. The following official agency tracking systems have been budgeted, and established by OCIO: the Time Resource Inventory Management (TRIM), the Safety Issues Management System (SIMS), and the Reactor Programs System (RPS), which includes the Inspection Follow-up System (IFS), the Performance Issues Matrix or Plant Issues Matrix (PIM), and the Master Inspection Plan System (MIPS).
REACTOR PROGRAMS SYSTEM (RPS)
RPS was designed to satisfy increasing and critical requirements for improved information management and analytical capabilities associated with reactor regulatory activities. The need for a single system to collect and integrate information for both inspections and licensing in one location, which could be correlated and analyzed, was envisioned.
NRR/PMAS/PIMB sponsored the development of RPS to fulfill program requirements that evolved over several years starting in the mid 1990s. The initial problems were highlighted in 1995 by both the staff and GAO. The findings indicated a lack of NRC diagnostic and planning capabilities resulting from NRC information contained in inspection programs and activities.
Today, RPS is used as a tool utilized by approximately 1,300 NRC headquarters and regional staff to implement the policy and inspection guidance for programs assigned to the NRC regional offices and assess the effectiveness and uniformity of the region's implementation of those programs through the planning, scheduling, conducting, reporting, and analyzing of inspection activities at nuclear power reactors.
TIME RESOURCE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT (TRIM)
TRIM was developed by NRR to replace the Work Information Scheduling Program (WISP) on February 11, 2002 as the electronic work planning tool for NRR. The TRIM system is a module of RPS sponsored by NRR/PMAS/POEB as a new electronic tool for all NRR employees to create new Technical Assignment Control (TAC) numbers and schedule themselves to work on existing TACs. TRIM also subsumed the NRR Work Item Tracking System (NRR WITS) as an independent module to support the tracking of the Chairmans Tracking Memo (CTM), as well as Green, and Yellow ticket types. TRIM also interfaces with the NRCs Human Resources Management System (HRMS) Time and Labor system via RPS to supply the activities to which employees can charge time.
C-1
SAFETY ISSUE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SIMS)
NRR/PMAS/PIMB is the organizational sponsor for the SIMS system. SIMS allows users to modify existing Multi-Plant Action (MPA) and Safety Issue information as well as define new safety issues and concerns and MPA for nuclear power reactors and other regulatory programs directly. Specifically, SIMS tracks information regarding Three Mile Island (TMI) issues, unresolved safety issues, generic safety issues, bulletins, generic letters, and other multi-plant activities.
SIMS was identified as a module within the NRR TRIM system that was designed as the replacement for the aging WISP system. TRIM is under the cognizant responsibility of NRR/PMAS/POEB as NRRs central scheduling and reporting authority. The plan was to migrate SIMS from NIH to TRIM to facilitate a centralized commitment tracking system.
Accessibility to commitments for verification was cumbersome; hence, giving no clear indication that a commitment was verified. It is believed that the NRR updates to the SIMS system ceased as a result of the extremely low volume of SIMS items and staff attrition. With the release of TRIM Version 04.04.00, the production version of SIMS will be maintained on the NRC client/server platform by NRR/PMAS/PIMB, and effective June 2004.
Conclusion Too often, when new tracking systems are developed, the requirements on the type of data to track and report are not appropriately considered in the initial stages; thus, the data from the old systems are lost. Weaknesses exist with the lack of integration of old data and interfacing organization. A centralized tracking system database needs to be developed. Links to narrative status and closeout documents should be consistently maintained in ADAMS.
Interviews with the OCIO revealed that there are plans for the implementation of the new EDO WITS system utilizing workflow that may be expanded to agency wide use. There were no plans to migrate the data contained in the old EDO WITS tracking system. Migration is critical to establishing continuity of commitment tracking. The proposed EDO WITS system needs to include all affected staff to ensure that the new system captures the intricacies of the program office WITS systems and the often complex dependencies that exist within and between offices in responding to WITS items.

EFFECTIVENESS REVIEW CHARTER Objective The objective of this team is to conduct a limited effectiveness review of the actions taken in response to four lessons-learned reports.
Scope The Davis-Besse Lessons Learned Task Force (DBLLTF) identified several areas in which previous assessments had uncovered performance or programmatic issues that were similar to the ones identified during the DBLLTFs review. This team will review the same reports reviewed by the DBLLTF for those findings that were similar to the Davis-Besse findings. The corrective actions for these findings will be evaluated for effectiveness. The team will then determine the root cause or causes of any recurring performance or programmatic issues and make recommendations for resolution.
Those action items that are identified as similar to the ones recognized by the DBLLTF will be verified for effectiveness. The team will also examine the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulations (NRRs) and the regions current systems for tracking high-priority items to closure.
