Executive Summary
A team of five NRC inspectors from the Performance Appraisal Section conducted
an announced inspection at the Zion Station.and Commonwealth Edison Company
Offices during April 20 - May 15, 1981.
Management controls in ten areas were
inspected. Nine areas were considered average and one area was considered to be
above average.
A sumary of the results of the inspection is given below.
Committee Activities:
Average (Section 2).
Both the onsite and offsite
review and investigative groups were composed of qualified and capable
individuals.
The number of available participants and the practice of evenly #
-
distributing review items enhanced the quality of the review effort.
The
principal weaknesses were the lack of a requirement to document the significant
items discussed or evaluated during the review process, the lack of provisions
for documenting minority opinions or differing viewpoints, and the failure to
routinely review QA audit reports.
Quality Assurance Audits:
A.erage
(Section 3).
The independent auditing oy
offsil.e teams of the same areas audited by the onsite audit staff was a posi-
tive indication of the licensee's commitment to quality assurance. Management
supported the quality assurance function, and employees accepted QC and QA
activities and requirements.
Weaknesses included the lack of formal documen-
tation of the effectiveness of various program elements audited, the lack of
effective trending of audit findings, and the lack of a formal retraining
program for auditors.
Design Changes and Modifications: Average
(Section 4).
An effective program
for the control of facility design changes and modifications had been estab-
lished and implemented. Significant weaknesses were the lack of external
design interface controls and the lack of a system for correcting generic
design deficiencies.
Maintenance:
Average (Section 5).
A maintenance program had been implemented,
and all maintenance was required to be controlled and documented by the use of
maintenance work requests.
Weaknesses included the lack of control cf vendor
technical manuals, the lack of a formalized preventive maintenance program,
and inadequacies in the work request system to keep shift personnel apprised
of 7.3intenance activies.
Plant Operations:
Average
(Section 6).
An effective program had been imple-
mented for the operation of the Zion station.
Personnel interviewed were
knowledgeable of their responsibilities, exhibited good morale, and had a
positive attitude toward plant safety.
Significant weaknesses included
inadequacies in the control of jumpers and lifted leads and the lack of a
method to ensure that all records, identified as being maintained in active
working files, were eventually transferred to Central Files.
Corrective Action System: Above Average (Section 7).
A corrective action program
had been implemented.
Responsibilities were well defined for tracking and
closecut of identified problems.
Corrective action was timely.
Significant
weaknesses were the lack of a trending program, particularly for equipment
failures and malfunctions, and the lack of a comprehensive listing of
standards and guides to which the licensee was committed.
