l MEMORANDUM FOR:
Jack E. Rosenthal, Chief Reactor Operations Analysis Branch Division of Safety Programs Of5ce for Analysis and Evaluation of Operational Data FROM:
Sanford L Israel Senior Reactor Systems Engineer Reactor Operations Analysis Branch Division of Safety Programs Office for Analysis and Evaluation of Operational Data
SUBJECT:
TARDY LICENSEE ACTIONS Enclosed is a Technical Review Report on " Tardy Licensee Actions" that was initiated because of *he delayed replacement of batteries in uninterruptible power supplies at Nine Mile Point Unit 2. The 25 situations referenced in this study were obtained from violations cited in inspection reports in 1991 and 1992. It is noteworthy that nine of these violations resulted in civil penalties. Delays occurred because known plant deficiencies were not brought to the attention of persons having responsibility and authority for initiating action, because schedules were not adhered to for completing maintenance work requests, and schedules were not adhered to for implementing commitments to the NRC.
Most of the violations were based on 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Section XVI, which addresses timely corrective actions as part of the quality assurance program. Thus, the NRC has a mechanism for enforcing compliance with the requirement of timely corrective actions.
These types of deficiencies generally do not get reported in LERs so that the NRC must rely on our inspectors to monitor the licensees in this area. The plants generally have numerous tracking systems and occasionally, management meetings that caa be monitored periodically to understand how swiftly these items are being completed.
The Commission issued a policy statement on integrated schedules within the past year.
f Licensee participation is voluntary. As background to understanding current licensing basis, i

Jack E. Rosenthal NRR is developing a Commission paper on what the licensees are doing in response to selected generic communications based on audits at seven plants. Because of these ongoing activities and the available regulations dealing with timely corrective actions, additional generic initiatives are not warranted at this time.
