Subject:
Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Units 2 & 3 Response to Combined Inspection Report 93-19/19 Concerning Radiological Controls
Dear Sir:
In the cover letter for the subject Inspection Report, you requested a response concerning our actions to address weaknesses noted in the Radiological Occurrence Reporting (ROR) process.
Please find attached, the response to that request.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely, DBM/RKS: bah Attachment cc:

e Response to Inspection Report 93-19/19 The Radiological Occurrence Report (ROR) process was a system under which radiological discrepancies were evaluated for cause and corrective action.
More significant radiological discrepancies were evaluated through the In-House Event Investigation (RE/EIF) process.
Although a more comprehensive evaluation was performed under the In-House Event Investigation process, corrective actions from both processes were effective in resolving most of the events identified. There were a few examples in the ROR process, however, where corrective actions could have been more comprehensive.
This process shortcoming has been addressed by the incorporation of RORs into the Performance Enhancement Program (PEP).
PEP was designed to contain all of the essential elements of an ef fective corrective action program.
It consolidated a number of plant corrective action processes including the In-House Event Investigation l
process.
PEP was implemented September 7, 1993.
PEP is a unified mainframe computer based program that provides a mechanism to ensure that plant events and issues are thoroughly evaluated and that appropriate corrective actions to prevent recurrence and address generic implications are developed and successfully completed.
Any issue determined to have a l
potential adverse radiological impact is reviewed by the Health Physics staff upon initiation.
Additionally, corrective action plans developed to prevent recurrence and to address generic implications are also reviewed and accepted by the Health Physics staff.
Through the PEP process, the evaluation of radiological discrepancies and the development of comprehensive corrective actions will be more effective.
To enhance worker performance in the field and prevent radiological discrepancies, Health Physics technicians were instructed on their role as coaches to ensure work groups meet established standards.
Additionally, middle management will also be held more accountable for improving station performance through increased monitoring and coaching of workers.
An increased emphasis has also been placed on publishing articles in the site daily newsletter on proper radworker practices to heighten worker awareness.
A video that will feature line supervisors communicating management expectations for adherence to established standards in contamination control and proper radworker practices is under development.
This video will show examples of identified improper radworker practices and the correct practice for each situation.
This video will be completed by January 31, 1994.
