~ashington, DC 20555 David W. Rogers Plant Safety and Licensing Director DOCKET 50-255 - LICEN.SE DPR PALISADES PLANT - REPLY TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION - NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 93032: - UPDATE ON CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TAKEN
-Our* March 24, 1994 reply to a.notice of vi9latiori concerning timely s~bmittals of Licensee Event Reports {LERs) identified an action to avoid future noncompliance.
The prtiposed action has sine~ been changed from that stated in.
the original response.
This letter provides a description of the.action ta.ken and how it differed from the original proposed action.
The violatiOn in IR 93032, dated February 22,.1994, concerned the failure to take effective corrective action to preclude repetitive failures to submit LERs within 30 days of an event in accordance with. 10 CFR 50. 73.
One of the correctiv~ actions we had planned at the time of the violation
- response was to require a meeting of management to review event report evaluati~ns. In the violation ~esponse the membership of that management meeting wa~ de$cribed is consisting of the Plant Manager, th~ Nuclear *.
Engineering an~ Construction Organization Manager {NECO),.the Safety and.
Licensing Director, and the department representatives assigned the action.
. **Based on further reviews, it was decided that the management team members needed to review each ~vent report would b~ a quorum of three managers, ~it~
specific m~nagement meeting membership dependent on the nature of and the responsibility area for the event being evaluated.
The management review.
meeting, which is described-as a management review board {MRB) meetirig has been incorporated into the revised corrective.action administrative procedure.
The specific wording in the administrative procedure describes the MRB membership responsibility as.follows:
9407130271 940707
~DR ADOCK 05000255 PDR A CM5 ENERGY COMPANY
2 "The MRB is comprised of the Plant M~nager and the NECO Manager and their direct reports.. A quoru~ consists of three members.. The chairman
- shall be the Plant Manager for reportable* condition re~orts (CRs) or Department Manager for non-reportable CRs.. Action assignees may attend to explain the.Corrective Action Plan.
Plant Safety and Licehsing shall attend for reportable CRs.
Nuclear Performance Assessment Department (NPAD) is encputaged to attend all MRB meetings."
We believe that this MRB membership will assure proper management attention*
and a consistent and complete evaluation of reportable events. This review process is still in its infancy. Should future changes to the MRB membershi~
be warranted, they will be made consistent with our administrative procedures changes process.
Such change will be available for your review,* however, no specific notification will be made to the NRC of those changes~
