. As _a result of your Zion Station Requalification Program being rated
-unsatisfactory,.following the NRC licensed operator. evaluations in y
September 1989, Confirmatory _ Action Letter (CAL) Rlli-89-021 was issued.
u Q@~
The CAL' confirmed several corrective measures you agreed to take.. Briefly,-
remediation, ( )) maintaining those operators off-shift pendingJreevaluation.
they included A - removing five operators from licensed duties for immediate y
~
by the NRC, -(C : identifying: and presenting any deficiencies that warranted K*.
enhanced retraining to the entire licensed operator staff.at Zion, (D)
. i providing_the Region with graded copies of quizzes, and (E) completing that j
training by March 31,-1990. An amendment to the CAL was issued on March 11, l
W 1990, following a meeting'between licensee and NRC representatives, to discuss 1
-the extent of-enhanced training to be provided to all, Zion-operators.
V P
Action Items A-and B of-the CAL-were satisfied basedLupon NRC reexamination of 0
the five~ licensed operato'rstin November 1989 and their subsequent authorization-by this ' office to return to licensed duties.. The remainder:of the' CAL action items (C-E) were evaluated by this office through-an' unannounced; inspection by Region personnel and management meetings of April-23,.1989 and-May-10, 1990.'
We concluded that Zion Station made reasonable efforts to fulfill its commitments t
under the CAL..However, we determined-that'certain-CAL commitments were not:
W appropriately implemented.
Specifically,CommonwealthEdison.Companyi(CECO) committed _in Action Item E to provide enhanced retraining to all licensea operators by March 31, 1990 to address any deficiencies' identified by CECO in f
CAL-Action Item C.
The-inspection determined that 26 of 84 licensed operators did not attend all enhanced training lectures. However, the operators that-missed the scheduled training were arovided the lesson materials and given o
quizzes on the subject material. This make-up was' completed by April 27, 1990.-

.1 am= concerned that you did not comply with all aspects of the CAL, specifically providing training to all licensed operators at Zion by March 31, 1990, and furthermore that this was determined as a result of our inspection.. The NRC
- takes very ~ seriously items agreed to by licensees, including schedules, documented in CALs..The fact that all license holders at Zion would not complete all CAL actions on-schedule should have been discussed, in advance, with the Region'.

i Details of thesk findings are documented in Report No. 50-295/90-008; 50-304/90-008 dated June 6, 1990.
Based upon our findings it has been determined that the fundamental elements of CAL-R111-89-021 have been met to our satisfaction and, therefore, the CAL is considered closed.
One point deserves further mention.
You are reminded that NRC takes very c
seriously items agreed to by licensees including schedules documented in p
Confirmatory Action Letters. Deviations from these committments should be discussed with the NRC prior to implementation. The fact that all license
-holders at Zion would not complete all CAL actions by March 31, 1990 should have been discussed in advance with the Region.
In this way the NRC would have been fully aware of the situation prior to an NRC inspector identifying the deficiency.
I was disappointed this did not happen. We trust that in the future we will be able to rely.on Commonwealth Edison Company meeting p
consnitments made in Confirmatory Action Letters.
