gtgt buron.Pennsylvan;a Mr. Boyce H.
Grier, Director United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region I Office 631 Park Avenue King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406
Dear Sir:
Enforcement Conference No. 50-334/79-21 This is a response to your letter of November 1, 1979 regarding Enforcement Conference No. 50-334/79-21.

r e
L Mr. Boyce H.
Grier 2-December 5, 1979 i
Desia., Jhance control Procram The initial discussion at the conference centered on the l-Design Control Program.
Your letter identified five specific con-cerns (page 3).
It also summarized the actions planned or taken to j'
resolve these concerns and indicated the actions were responsive to the NRC's comments (page 4).
My only clarifying comment on your summary is to reaffirm that station personnel will not do the engi-neering, design, final drawing changes, etc. associated with design change work.. They miaht do the physical work and provide information
~
as to what was done which will ultimately be part of the completed design change package.
With this clarifying comment I would agait i
acknowledge our intent to fulfill the commitments contained in your summary of our response.
I believe these commitments and actions are responsive to Items 1-4 on page one of your letter.
With regard to i
Item 5, I have asked our Quality Assurance Department to makc 3 com-prehensive audit of the design change work being conducted during the i
current shutdown.
This audit is scheduled for February, 1980.
4 i
Manacement Control 1
The other general subject discussed at the conference was Management Control (Item b, page 4, of your letter).
Six specific areas of concern were identified (pages 5-6) which I shall refer to I
as paragraphs 1 through 6.
Paracraohs 1 and 2 Duquesne Light Company will increase its staff so as to provide a more responsive management system.
A new position, Director of Nuclear Operations, reporting to the General Superintendent of the j
Power Stations Department, will be established and filled.
A copy of the revised Organization Chart and the job description are presented in Attachments A and B.
This new position will manage only the nuclear i
activities associated with the operating facilities, including the future startup of the Beaver Valley No. 2 Unit.
The position will be responsible to the General Superintendent of the Power Stations Department.
The General Superintendent will. retain direct adminis-
.trative authority and responsibility (salary review, promotions, etc.)
over nuclear personnel with due counsel with the Director.
The change in no way changes the overall duties and responsibilities of the c
General Superintendent.

Mr. Boyce H. Grier December 5, 1979 In addition, a new group called the Licensing and Compliance Section will be created.
The Organization Chart is shown in Attachment C and job descriptions in Attachment D (other than Engineer and the clerical positions).
The positions of Superintendent Licensing and Compliance, Senior Compliance Engineer, Environmental Coordinator and Senior Licensing Engineer are additional positions and will be filled with experienced personnel.
The Health Physicist position existed previously.
The rcmaining positions will be filled as the need is identified and qualified people are.available.
This section will serve both Beaver Valley No. 1 and ultimately will also serve the No. 2 Unit.
It should be functioning by February 1, 1980.
The Superintendent, Licensing and Compliance, will be a member of the Off-site Review Committee.
The position will provide another contact with the NRC Division of Operating Reactors for matters within their area of responsibility.
The Licensing and Compliance Section will be responsible for the preparation of ~all Technical Specification Change Requests, the preparation and submittal of the annual Consolidated Radiological Environmental Surveillance Report for both Beaver Valley and Shippingport, the preparation and submittal of the annual Consolidated Ecological Environmental Surveillance Report for Beaver Valley and Shippingport, the preparation and submittal of the annual report of the theoretical maximum calculated dose to the general population as a result of the operation of Beaver Valley Power Station.
With re-gard to Unit No. 2 FSAR submittal, this group is responsible for the preparation of the Conduct of Operations (Chapter 13), the portions of the Radiological Protection Chapter (Chapter 12) that involve operation and maintenance, the portion of the Startup and Testing Chapter (Chapter 14), as well as the detailed review of all other chapters of the FSAR to assure that all commitments for inspection and Tests during the operating life of the station are necessary and can be performed with the existing design.
This group will also be responsible for coordination, review and approval of all work performed by contractors in obtaining, ana-lyzing and summarizing the results of all environmental samples as required by the Technical Specifications and which form the basis for the annual environmental surveillance reports.
This group is also responsible for reviewing the radiation control program of Beaver Valley including quantities of radioactive effluents, in-station radiation and contamination levels and radiation dose to workers.
Based upon these reviews, recommendations would be i
Mr. Boyce H. Grier December 5, 1979 made to appropriate levels of management in accordance with the re-quirement that dose and effluents be made As Low As Reasonably Achievable (AIARA).
As appropriate, this group will be responsible for reviewing correspondence to outside agencies that is prepared for the signature of the Vice President, Operations.
This group will also be responsible for reviewing and eval-uating amendments to the Code of Federal Regulations, revisions to and new issues of Regulatory Guides, etc. and submitting their evaluations of such documents, when necessary, to the appropriate departmental management personnel.
This group will assume responsibility for the performance of the audit requirements of the Of f-site Review Committee (ORC) as set forth in Beaver Valley Technical Specification - Appendix A, Section 6.5.2.8.
They will also attend NRC audit exit interviews, work with the station staf f to resolve problem areas and prepare answers to audit findings.
While not specifically identified as a duty, part of their audit responsibilities will be " preventive" nature; i.e.,
to review problems identified in one functional area in terms of its potential for being a prvblem in another area.
In summary, the added staff described above will help assure future submittals to the NRC will be more complete and will include the depth of detail necessary to permit your staff to perform the required engineering reviews or to understand the basis for any conclusions in safety evaluations which have been included in the response.
Paragraph 3 A computerized tracking system is being developed to assure that commitments are met in a timely manner.
A monthly report will be issued to interested levels of Duquesne Light Company management to provide an awareness of both the magnitude of the effort in progress and the performance of the various Company divisions and departments.
The first monthly report is due to be issued in January of 1980.
The report will provide a measure of performance as to timely responses.
In the past we have found it extremely difficult to develop priorities for the numerous requests for information which are forwarded in the form of Bulletins, Circulars, Information Notices,
Mr. Boyce H. Grier December 5, 1979 NRR Formal Requests for Information, and NRR Orders, in addition to the numerous verbal requests for information from NRR and I&E.
We estimate that we have received over five dozen requests for infor-mation through the first eleven months of this year.
The complexity of many of these requests has led to the necessity of consulting with both our NSS vendor and our architect-engineers.
Due to the generic nature of many of these requests, these organizations in turn have been hard pressed to respond to their many clients within the time limit requested by NRC.
We believe that the year of 1979 has been an extraordinary year.
We anticipate that a sharp reduction in these requests will be experienced in the next year which will enable us to accomplish, with reasonable. effort, the fulfillment of commitments and the resolution of open items.
Paragraph 4 A new group of Shift Technical Advisors will be established before December 31, 1979.
As part of their duties, they will be re-sponsible for reviewing and evaluating the performance and results of the Inservice Testing Program for Pumps and Valves, the Appendix J Leak Rate Testing Program and the Surveillance Program for Hydraulic Snubbers and Pipe Supports.
This assignment will provide a review of these actinities by individuals that are not engaged in the direct performa., of the activities and will provide the Technical Advisory Group w.*:. an ongoing awareness of the condition of station equipment essent' to safety.
We have engaged a contractor to perform an in-dependent review of the Beaver Valley Power Station Emergency Pre-paredness Plan and its implementing procedures.
We are rewriting the entire Plan and the implementing procedures as required to achieve full compliance with Regulatory Guide 1.101.
This activity will be completed prior to returning the plant to service following the refueling and modification outage which is presently in progress.
Paracraph 5 We do not believe that any relaxation of adherence to administrative controls has occurred during the extended plant outage that was recently experienced.
However, our investigations into these matters have resulted in a decision to revise the Station Administrative Procedures.
This revision will provide clarity and brevity and thus eliminate potential noncompliance caused by non-uniform interpretations
Mr'. Boyce H. Grier December 5, 1979 of the existing procedures by the station supervisory force.
It is also our intention to remove numerous unnecessary administrative re-strictions which reduced operating flexibility and imposed unnecessary requirements.
These revised Administrative Procedures will be issued and implemented by July 1, 1980.
Paragraph 6 The revision of Station Administrative Procedures, as dis-cussed previously, should result in improved implementation of station administrative controls.
The addition of the Station Technical Ad-visory Group of shift reactor engineers will lead to improved per-formance and review of plant technical programs by providing an ongoing independent review of these activities.
Again, we believe that our dedication to the successful closing of unresolved inspection findings has been impacted during the past year by the unusually heavy work load imposed on the station staff by the extremely large number of requests for information.
The responses to many of these requests have resulted in a diversion of station personnel from the activities required to investigate and take corrective action associated with these items.
We believe that the increased number of personnel pro-vided by the new positions, as previously described, should greatly improve our ability to respond to these concerns.
Summary Duquesne re-affirms the actions planned or taken to resolve the NRC concerns in the areas of design change work.
Duquesne will expand its organization by creating many new positions which will place additional management effort and direction to the problem solving activity.
These new positions should lead to a higher quality of information submitted to the NRC.
A new system of tracking commitments will be established to provide a higher degree of assurance that all commitments are handled properly.
The newly formed Licensing and Compliance Section will provide a group dedi-cated to the review and effectiveness of the various programs required by the facility license and provide a greater assurance that license conditions are being met.
Finally, the Quality Assurance Department will conduct a comprehensive audit of our design control activities in February, 1980 to assure administrative controls are properly imple-mented and adhered to; the new Licensing and Compliance Section will perform similar functions through the Off-site Review Committee and will enhance the resolution of NRC inspection findings.
