PERFORMING
LICENSED DUTIES AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NRC INSPECTION
REPORT
NOS.
50-387/89-80
and 50-388/89-80)
i
This letter refers to the Enforcement
Conference
held
on November 21,
1989, at
the Region I Headquarters.
The conference
was conducted
by Mr. Robert Gallo
with members of your staffs
The purpose
of. the conference
was to discuss
the
apparent violation identified by the
NRC during the Training Program
Team
Inspection
conducted August 21-25,
1989.
The report documenting this inspec-
tion was sent to you by letter dated October 26,
1989.
The apparent violation
concerned
the provision in"the requalification program implementing procedure
that allowed the assignment
of licensed duties to personnel
that had failed
a
required comprehensive written examination or annual
operating test prior to
successful
retraining
and retesting.
As
a result of this inspection
and
subsequent
enforcement
ccnference,
a failure to comply with NRC regulatory
requirements
was identified.
To emphasize
the
need for adequate
controls to assure
that properly qualified
licensed
persons
are assigned
licensed duties, this office is issuing
a Notice
of Violation enclosed
as Appendix
A to this lette~.
The violation described
in
Appendix A involved
a failure to provide adequate
controls to assure
that pro-
ficient operators
licensed
pursuant to 10 CFR 55 were assigned
licensed duties.
This occurred
when
a senior reactor operator
(SRO),
who had failed an annual
operating test
and, thus, did not satisfy the requirements
per
(a)(2),
was assigned
licensed duties in January
and February
1989.
The
NRC
recognizes
that other properly qualified licensed operators
were present
in the
control
room while this
SRO was
on shift.
We note that your short term correc-
tive action to change, the implementing procedure
was appropriate.
As described
at the enforcement
conference,
your initiative to revise regulatory
based
documentation
to meet Regulatory Guide 1.8, Revision 2, is
a comprehensive,
long-term corrective action.
