- NllCHl&AN"S l'RO&RESS Palisades Nuclear Plant: 27780 Blue Star Memorial Highway, Covert, Ml 49043 M~rch 6, 1992 Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document Control Desk Washin9ton, DC.20555 DOCKET 50-255 - LICENSE DPR PALISADES PLANT -
NOTIFICATION OF REASSIGNMENT OF LICENSED OPERATOR - FOLLOW-UP EVALUATION.
Consumers Power Company's letter of February 21, 1992 entitled, "Notification of Reassignment of Licensed Operator," stated that a licensed operator had been reassigned duties in 1990 and that the.required 10CFR50.74(a)
- notification had not been made at that time.
The letter also stated that we would ptovide the results of our evaluation of the cause of the event: This evaluation had been requested by Mr. T. Burdick of the NRC Region III staff.
- .The results of our evaluation follow.
Following notification by the plant training department, near the end of June
- 1990, a letter to notify the NRC of the licensed operator reassignment was
- drafted in the General Offic~ Nuclear Licensing Department.
However, the
. lettei was never finalized or submitted to the.NRC.
It is believed that a contributing cause of this personnel error was the June 28, 1990 announcement that the Nuclear Licensing Department was being dissolved and licensing duties were being moved* to the plant sites*. Also contributing to the error were the
.work control methods employed in Nuclear Licensing Department which left the
. responsibility to complete assignments with the assigned individual(s). This*
. informal process was largely adequate, but in this instance no follow-up of the work progress was apparently made.:
Cur~ent practice is for the licensing section head to issue job assignments.
Each department licensing engineer maintains a task list which is routinely monitored.
Jobs with required due dates are placed on a department calendar and given additional attention~
This event is considered an isolated incident and no corrective actions are considered necessary to prevent recurrence.
