SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-269/94-34, 50-270/94-34, AND
50-287/94-34
Gentlemen:
This will acknowledge receipt of your response of December 22, 1994, to our
Notice of Violation, issued on November 23, 1994, concerning activities
conducted at your Oconee facility.
Your response acknowledged the failure to follow existing Quality Assurance
(QA) procedures as described in the Notice of Violation. The response stated
that a new method of responding to QA Audit Findings utilizing the Problem
Investigation Process (PIP) system had been implemented replacing the previous
process described in the violation. The response stated that corrective
actions for the QA Audit Findings identified in the violation were made but
were not properly documented due to the lack of adequate procedural guidance
for using the PIP process in resolving QA Audit Findings. The response
reported that the problems identified by the inspector were the result of the
inadequate procedural guidance for the use of the PIP process and that there
was not a process problem with the PIP system when used to respond to QA Audit
Findings. The response reported that new QA procedures .had been implemented
to describe the use of the PIP process as an acceptable method for resolving
QA Audit Findings and that .training had been provided to QA personnel
concerning the new processes.
Following review of your response, the NRC
believes that a supplemental response is necessary in that corrective actions
were not sufficiently described and the corrective actions were limited to the
QA staff.
We request that you provide a supplemental response addressing the following:
1.
Describe activities that contributed to the inadequate procedural
guidance for correcting QA Audit findings with the PIP corrective action
process and expand on the corrective actions taken to prevent
recurrence.
2.
Identify appropriate procedures that have or will be modified to provide
proper guidance to QA and duty personnel responsible for determining and
evaluating corrective actions and responding to QA Audit Findings.
3.
Identify staff positions responsible for determining and evaluating
corrective actions and responding to QA Audit Findings through the PIP
process. Briefly describe the nature of the training provided to those
individuals.

4.
Identify the controls which will ensure that corrective actions to
prevent recurrence are considered, identified, and documented for QA
Audit Findings or any other significant adverse conditions processed
with the PIP program.
5.
Provide dates when corrective actions are planned for completion.
During a telephone conversation on January 9, 1995, between Mr. F. Wright of
my staff and Messers. J. Fyre, D. Nix, J. Twiggs, D. Berkshire and Ms. 3.
Smith of your staff, Mr. Nix agreed that a revised response to the violations
would be provided to. this office by February 1, 1995.
The responses directed by this letter and the enclosed Notice are not subject
to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required
by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, Pub. L. No.96-511.
Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated.
