LICENSEE EVF.NT REPORT IMPROVEMENTS :
Arkansas Power & Light's-(AP&L) April 7, 1989, response to Inspection Reporti
50-313/89-02 and 50-368/89-02 identified the following corrective actions:
4
(1) addition of contractor staff as ah interim measure to reduce overdue-
? ,
' Licensee. Event Reports (LERs) and provide permanent: staffing responsible for-
. preparation of. LERs, (2) established a mechanism to keep management informed
~
of the status of reportabla events, and (3) established additional internal
-
guidance to request approp?iate extensions to gubmittal dates and~also
-supplements if submitted LE9s did not contahi all the required information
-
at the time of. submittal,
w ,
11n'a ~ subsequent' July 6,1989, letter documenting discussions in a June 16, 1989,
NRC meeting with AP&L, the Lfo11owing additional actions were- summarized: .
4
/ -1) The need for a more rigorous, up-front: operability determination was .
7 identified.- A new operability determination procedure was implemented
-
B and the shift operations supervisor now documentsnt'e basis:of his- [ ' operability determination.
1 2) iThe Plant Safety Committee LER reviews were movedsto a postsubmittal.
Jreview rather.than:presubmittal, to preclude unnecessary delays.
'
3): AP&L Management is.made aware of Con <tition Report (CR): resolution
progress by a periodically distriV.i.ed status report onca) overdue
action,' b) opu operability / rep ; ability reports and c) . assessment
c
'
reports toLthe Safety Review CF 4ttee.
M '
4) ~ A biweakly report is issued to management listing outstanding LERs ,
with respective due dates and expected submittal dates.
5) If AP&L is not able to meet the required. reporting requirement, this -
.
s . ,
fact will be communicated to the NRC along-with AP&L's proposed schedule
-
N for.subaittal.
Y 6
A review:was: performed of:the LER process from the identification or discovery
-of an event or condition through the reportability determination and submittal-
of-the'LER to.the NRC. The-following Additional program enhancements are
'being implemented to' provide timely determinations of.CR reportability and
submittals of.LERs pursuant to 10CFR50.73:
'
1) Reportable CRs=are-assigned to the responsible manager during the
: daily plant meeting to ensure information accurately ~and completely
F describes'the' event and' root cause evaluations are. assigned. This-
W places' ownership for root cause evaluations and identification of
+ corrective actions.

H q 2): Station Procedure 1000.104, " Condition Reporting and Corrective .
Actions," has been revised to enhance procedural controls for CR:
fil - reportability determinations and for documentation of information
7
required for reportability determination and~LER preparation. The ,
- revision includes complete:and timely. measures to support LER sub-
'mittals to'the NRC.; These measures are consistent with-AP&L's
philosophy of performing comprehensive reportability and operability.
-determinations.:
,
3): . Initial. root cause evaluations and proposed correction. actions from
:the responsible departments are now being required within a timely
-period.(i.e., approximately'14 days) from the occurrence of a' reportable
event'or discovery of a potentially reportable'. condition. -
l
,4) =Longl lead times (e.g.,!3 to 9 months) to obtain required information-
and perform reportability determinations will not be acceptable. It is
recognized that some issues'are complex and require a reasonable time-
~
to evaluate,t: However. immediate evaluation will be performed using-
avai hble information within a reasonable period of time. Engineering
' judgement may.be required to support reportability determination in:a.
timely manner such that an LER can be submitted (within:30 days follow-
.
ing the discovery of a potentially reportable condition. This may
result in.certain reportable conditions' submitted es LERs being
. retracted based on subsequent further evaluation. u
*
Collectively, these measures have enhanced the LER process.
