Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating System Docket 50-219 l

Response to Inspection Report 93-18 6

Dear Sir:

The subject inspection report was transmitted by letter dated November 1, 1993.

l This transmittal requested GPUN to respond to "The lack of timely corrective actions for some radiological discrepancies developed under the RIR process was considered a radiological controls program weakness"'as stated in the transmittal letter.

In order to improve the timeliness of progress and completion of RIRs, (Radiological Incident Reports) Radiological Controls is making several changes to the process. First, the RadCon/ Safety Director will review RIRs during the investigation / corrective action phase as a preliminary review, following the documentation of the' initial corrective actions.

Second, in order to improve timeliness of closecut and review of the completed RIR, RIRs will no longer be kept open pending completion of.all action items. RIRs_will now be closed when all action items are complete or when remaining long term action items have been entered into a tracking system which provides frequent visibility to all station managers. Third, in order.to provide a useful and effective tracking system, the Logistical Support department has agreed to include the'long term action items _

-from RIRs into the. existing plant wide action item system they maintain, which-t includes frequent updates and frequent wide distribution of status, i

In order 'to define this new process, the RIR procedure is being revised.

The procedure change which is in routing for implementation of the revised 10.CFR 20 has been modified to include the additional preliminary review by the Rad i

Con / Safety Director and ' the new requirements for closecut and. use of the i

Logistica1 Support tracking system. Since this procedure change is required for a

implementation of the revised 10 CFR 20, the change is currently expected to be issued prior to January 1, 1994.
