SUMMARY
OF MEETING ON DECEMBER 2,1980 WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF THE LICENSEE TO DISCUSS DEFICIENCIES IN THE LICENSEE'S RESPONSE TO IE BULLETIN 79-01 At the conclusion of its review of the licensee's response to IEB 79-01 the staff (IE Region I and the Environmental Qualification Branch) came to the conclusion that while some electrical components were fully qualified environmetally, other components were not qualified and decisions could not be made on some components because of insufficient in formation. Because of the tight schedule placed on the staff to complete its reviews of responses to IEB 79-01 the licensee was requested to meet with the staff to discuss the perceived deficiencies. A list of attendees at the meeting is attached.
The licensee's presentation followed the outline in Attachment 2 and resulted in extensive comments and questions from the staff. The major concerns of the staff centered around the licensee's failure to adequately:
(a) identify problem areas (in Licensee Event Reports);
(b) schedule modifications or replacements of unqualified components; (c) develop procedures for interim operation of unqualified components; (d) develop a replacement program throughout the life of the plant; (e) justification of qualification of certain specific components; (f) analyze environmental problems associated with a limited number of components, and (g) describe the interaction of environmentally stressed components with other safety related equipment.
At the conclusion of the meeting the staff advised the licensee that its failure to fully meet the requirements of IEB 79-01 by November 1,1980 could lead to enforcement action. The staff also requested the licensee to provide the following information:
1.
Full justification of qualification.
D 2.
Definite courses of action to meet IEB 79-01.
e.
3.
Schedules for implementing procedures and modifications.
4.
LERs, whenever additional unqualified components are identified.
In response, the licensee committed to the following actions:
