ENCLOSURE 2 NOTICE OF DEVIATION Tennessee Valley Authority Browns Ferry 2
Docket No. 50-260 License No.
DPR-52 The following deviation was identified during a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on May 8-19, 1989.
TYA committed in the Nuclear Performance
- Plan, Volume 3, Revision 2, which is the Browns Ferry Nuclear Performance Plan (BFNPP),
to a Training Program for Technical Staff and Managers.
The commitments in Section II.2.3.2 of the BFNPP included completion of orientation phase training by all technical staff and managers whose responsibilities may affect the day-to-day safe operation of the plant and the safety of plant personnel or the general public.
Completion of the orientation phase training was required before any technical staff member or manager was to be allowed full unreviewed responsibility in areas concerned with the training not completed.
The BFNPP stated that plant technical staff managers and engineers, incumbent as of March 28, 1986, were required to have completed the orientation phase training by August 1, 1987, or have a waiver or limited assigned duties.
Newly assigned plant technical staff managers and engineers were required to complete the orientation phase training within 18 months of assignment to BFN, unless a waiver had been granted.
The BFNPP commitment for Technical Staff and Manager training was implemented by Program Manual Procedure (PMP) 0202. 17, "Technical Staff and Manager Training for Nuclear Plant Site Personnel",
and by Site Director's Standard Practice (SDSP) 4.9, "Training Program for Technical Staff and Managers",
(formerly BF 4. 14).
Both of these procedures included modification engineers/site construction personnel among the personnel who were required to complete orientation phase training prior to being granted independent unreviewed work responsibilities.
Contrary to the
- above, as of May 10,
- 1989, 167 modifications engineers had not completed orientation phase training or been granted waivers within the time limits established in the BFNPP commitment and the implementing procedures.
Appropriate actions were not taken to assure that these individuals had no independent unreviewed work responsibilities in areas affected by the training courses prior to completing the training.
