flay 23, 1979 flebraska Public Power District ATTt!: fir. J. ii. Pilant, Director Licensing and Quality Assurance P. O. Box 499 Columbus, tiebraska 68601 Gentlemen:
IE has contracted with Sandia Laboratories to develop a method, based on standard human engineering principles, that IE inspectors can use in their-on-site inspections to identify procedural deficiencies and evaluate their relative importance to safety. The main thrust of this effort is to identify those procedural deficiencies that can lead to increased chances of human error.
In performing this contract Sandia's subcontractor, Human Performance Technologies, Thousand Oaks, California, aust visit licensed facilities to review test and maintenance procedures currently in use.
Cooper fluclear Station has been selected as one of five facilities that will be involved in this study.
This review is strictly a data gathering function and will not result in items of noncompliance being generated or recommendations for revision of procedures.
In addition to the procedure review, the subcontractor will need to talk to licensee personnel about use of the procedures and witness application of the procedure.
In order to gain a full understanding of the effectiveness of the procedure, it is necessary to know the general qualifications (experience and training) of the technicians using the procedures.
Copies of the final report, estimated to be issued in flarch 1980, will be provided to the licensees that participate. contains a tentative schedule, identifies the subcontractor and provides the names of the individuals who will be conducting.the study.
Sincerely, b
