Docket No.:50-458/89-31

'

This letter supplements Gulf States Utilities Cmpany's (GSU) response

dated September 29, 1989 to the Notice .of Violation for- NRC Inspection '

.

Report

No.- 50-458/89-31. That response stated that GSU was reviewing,its

methods for contracting certain. outage related work to deteunine optimum

methods for control: of contractors during extended plant outages. .This

letter describes GSU's actions to insure proper supervision. of contract

personnel during refueling. outage 3 (RF-3) .

At the present time GSU is planning to implement a new outage organization

intended to optimize control' of contractors during RF-3.

.For _ bulk work

efforts the General Maintenance Contractor (GMC) will be directed by _GSU

Maintenance at the supervisor level such that: GSU= supervisors .will be.

directing s GC supervisors who-in turn will be directing GC forman. This

organization structure;should adequately control the GC efforts which will-

represent the majority of 'all contractor activities during.RF-3.

I

'

In addition to the new outage organization, the maior outage contracts will

j

be different from those in the past in .that they :: will provide for

~

incentives based on a detailed performance program.. The amount of the

incentive awards will be determined by GSU based on

a.: number of factors-

including procedure adherence.

'A

new concept is also'being implemented

with the refueling and general maintenance contracts in.that-.they?were

awarded for a

three : outage term contingent on satisfactory performance.

This concept may be expanded in the future to include the turbine : contract.

'j

,

based on contractor performance in RF-3.

'Two major 1Eems are planned to eliminate safety tagging violations. The

safety tagging administrative procedure is being revised to make the

clearance . program easier to understand and follow, which should minimize

the possibility. of error.. In addition, training will be required of all

,

contractors, who hold clearances, prior to being placed on the authorized

'

tagging list. This training will include actual on-the-job training which

will demonstrate the contractor's ability to sumit clearances,. check and

accept clearances, and to partial release,

transfer,

and

release

,

clearances.

Contractors who perform maintenance.will be given additional training

according to proceduro MSP-0028 "Oualifications of Contract Maintenance-

Personnel", which will ' include - the maintenance work order (MWo) program

,

(procedure ADM-0028), jtrnpers and lifted leads

(procedure CNP-0042) ,

and

the measuring and test equipnent - (Mt.TE) procram. The training prrrrram will

include on-the-iob training to allow the contractor to demonstrate his

knowledge level by actually performing the activities. -This training will

stress procedural adherence by contractor personnel..

To improve the quality of MWo iob plans, a detailed job plan checklist is

j

used by the' maintenance planner when planning to work. The foreman who

1

performs the work will use the second half of the form to evaluate the

quality of the job plan. This checklist has been formalized and added to

procedure ADM-0023, " Conduct of Maintenance",

as a requirement for the

maintenance planners when planning any M O.

This ccupletes GSU's response to this item. Should you have any questions

regarding this matter, please contact Mr. L.

A.- England at (504) 381-4145.

Sincerely,
