ENCLOSURE 3 Oconee Maintenance Assessment Human Performance - Work Practices Post Maintenance Testing Control of Replacement Parts Keowee Preventative Maintenance Program Upgrade
Human Performance - Work Practices Results have not been meeting expectations Increased emphasis placed on work practice expectations first quarter 1992 Issued "Work Practices Handbook for Oconee Nuclear Site" January, 1993; revised September, 1993 Formed "Work Practice Quality Improvement Teams" April, 1993
==
Conclusions:==
the tools for quality improvement have been provided, increased emphasis is needed in accountability for meeting them.
Post Maintenance Testing Nuclear System and Station Directives Specify:
Function Verification - Qualitative check Retest - Quantitative check Post Maintenance Test Plan for each work activity Matrix specifying PMT requirements by equipment PMT Assessment Team formed in August, 1993 Identified a lack of clear understanding of accountabilities by: Planners, Supervisors and Techs, and Engineers Retraining of personnel initiated in November, 1993 INPO Assist Visit planned for December, 1993
Control of Replacement Parts Parts Identification Methods:
Procedures Oconee Parts Catalog Duke Drawings or Approved Vendor Maduals Like-for-Like All Discrepancies Require Engineering Resolution Field Verification - Assuring Fit, Form and Function Post Maintenance Testing Currently identified weaknesses: adequacy of the Parts Catalog, lack of clear communication of expectations
Keowee Preventative Maintenance Program Upgrade Program Scope Review each current PM activity for adequacy Assign equipment numbers and enter all items in the Oconee equipment data base Incorporate Instrument Setpoints into ONS Setpoint Document Verify adequacy of replacement parts availability Implement Predictive Maintenance Program Identify additional components with safety function and define PM scope as required.
Present status: 60 of 200 current PM activities have been fully reviewed and entered in the Oconee PM Program
