Dear Mr. Martin:
Haddam Neck Plant
Inspection Report No. 50-213/90-80
Resovese to Notice of Violation
On December 12,1990 (reference), the NRC Staff transmitted to Connecticut
Yankee Atomic Power Company (CYAPCO) Inspection Report No. 50 213/90-80.
As discussed in the Inspection Report, the NRC Staff cited CYAPC0 for one
violation of the Commission's regulations for fai mre to assure that
conditions adverse to quality were promptly corrected and failure to aesure
corrective action taken to preclude repetition was adequate.
In addition,
this Inspection Report identified several weaknesses in the effectiveness
of maintenance activities at the Haddam Neck Plant.
Pursuant to 10CFR2.201, and in accordance with the instructions contained
in the Ir.spection Report, CYAPC0 hereby provides the attached information
.
in response to the Notice of Violation cited- in the Inspection Report.
This information is provided as Attachment 1.
CYAPCO's response to the
maintenance program weaknesses identified in this Inspection Report will be
provided to the NRC Staff in a subsequent submittal in accordance with the
instructions provided in the Inspection Report,

Haddam Neck Plant
Resoons! to Notice of Violation
1.
Offerietion o_f_. Violation
10CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI stater in part, that " Measures
shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality
are oromptly identified and corrected
and corrective
...
.
. .
action take.1 to preclude repetition."
Contrary to the above, as of September 21, 1990, the licenne's
measures established to assure that condition adverse to quality are
promptly correctr f and corrective action taken to preclude repetition
were inadequate a. evidenced by the following.
Quality
Services
Department
memorandum
CY-QSD 90-Ill7,
dated
February 2,1990, reported to plant management various 1989 work order
deficiencies, such as poor cocumentation and procedure deviations,
that required corrective action.
HowcVer, the licensee's actions to
promptly correct these deficiencies have not been adequate since
similar deficiencies in various 1990 completed work 9rder documents
3
!
were identified where the documentation of the work performed or the
'
retest conducted was either incomplete or nondescriptive.
-
2.
Reason for Viciation
This violation occurred due to lack of attention to detail by first
line supervision and inadequate management oversight of this function.
'
3.
Corrective Action
The issue of work order package documotation deficiencies has been
discussed with maintenance supervisors,
li.sse dis::ussions, with those
who are responsible for ensuring package completeness, have heightened
the awareness of tiie importece of thorough and complete work order
package documentation,
and have emphasized appropriate procedures
including Maintenance Department procedure HA
1.5-1,
' Work Order
Preparation,
Work Control,
and Documentation."
Deficiencies
on
completed, closed out work orders cannot be corrected.
If proper
documentation was not performed at the time the work was done,
reconstructing is uncertain at best.
CYAPC0 has taken action to
prevent recurrence as described below.
4.
Corrective Actions to Prevent Recurrence
Throughout 1991, the Mai
lance Manager will be performing random
reviews of completed work order packages.
In addition, a series of

work order reviews will be performed by a task force made up of
maintenance personnel from each of our four nuclear units.
The
Quality Services Department will- continue to review a sampling of
-completed work order packages.
We expect these efforts will achieve
improvement in the very near future, and full compilance by the end of
September, 1991.
We expect that this increased level of internal review of work order
packages will achieve the desired result, and alleviate the concern
over reducing QSD involvement in the verk order process.
We feel
strongly that it is important for the per;ple doing work to do it
properly and that there should not be a need for others to ensure it
is done.
Specifically, the supervisors will complete the work order -
documentation thoroughly, and QSD will not -be needed to . review each
package prior to filing,
