Docket Nos.
50-259 50-260 50-296 50-327 50-328 ORDER MODIFYING LICENSES (EA 85-49)
As a part of the overall TVA commitment in the Corporate Nuclear Performance Plan for improvements in our management systems and programs, work was initiated to standardize the corrective action program for all Office of Nuclear Power (ONP) organizations to enhance TVA's performance in the identification and dispositioning of conditions adverse to quality (CAQs).
The initial phase of this effort has been completed through the issuance of our new generic CAQ procedure, a copy of which is enclosed for your review (enclosure 2).
This procedure represents the culmination of efforts by the Division of Nuclear Quality Assurance (DNQA) aimed at fulfillingthe requirements of NRC Order EA 85-49 as promised in the Corporate Nuclear Performance Plan and amplified in our letter dated July 2,
- 1986, on this subject.
This procedure provides a practical means of resolving quality problems head on and solving them in a straightforward manner.
Also enclosed (enclosure
- 1) is the list of commitments made by this letter.
The generic procedure entitled, "Corrective Action," has been incorporated in Part I, Section 2.16, of the Nuclear ualit Assurance Manual.
As described below, it provides an effective device for processing CAQs arising anywhere in the TVA nuclear power program, whether it be in engineering, construction, or operations.
This integrated approach supersedes our previous EA 85-49 commitments.
Following is a bullet summary of the program's prominent features:
STANDARIZED APPROACH The Condition Adverse to Quality Report (CAQR) combines reporting of items previously done on many different forms.
STREAMLINED PROCESS - A clear sequence of coordinated actions with procedurally designated quality assurance (QA) involvement and management oversight.

2.
Review by management for validity, clarity, and completeness (three working days).
If an operating plant is affected, the CAQR is immediately transmitted to the site Plant Operations Review Staff for action.
3.
Track by a single computerized program.
b il i* t'i Determine significance, need for generic review (seven working days).
Define remedial action, accomplish generic review, determine root

6.
~im lament corrective action.
"Fix" executed by responsible organization.
I.
~uerlf corrective action QA documents verification of completed action for significant CAQs.
IMPROVED EFFECTIVENESS Clear process for prompt escalation of disagreements.
Fast track for CAQs affecting operating plant.
MONITORED TRENDS CAQs monitored for trend development.
Trends given corporate-level management attention.
ANALYZED CAUSES Root cause analysis performed for significant CAQs.
IDENTIFIED GENERIC IMPLICATIONS
- Special handling of generic implications.
The corrective action program described above was issued on November 10, 1986.
An extensive training and employee awareness program was simultaneously launched and is scheduled to be completed for all plants by March 30, 1987.
However, priority efforts are underway for Sequoyah Nuclear Plant and the program was implemented there on February 23,
- 1987, in support of restart.
Division of Nuclear Engineering Procedure NEP-9.1 (formerly OEP-17
t' U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission referenced in our letter to you dated July 2, 1986) and the other approved procedures for handling CAQs remain in place while full implementation of the new program is being achieved.
With the implementation of this program, our position is that TVA meets the required performance improvements delineated in NRC Order EA 85-49.
Very truly yours, TENNE SEE VA LEY AUTHORITY
