ENCLOSURE RESPONSE - NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-327/82-05 and 50-328/82-05 R. C. LEWIS'S LETTER TO H. G. PARRIS '
DATED AUGUST 9, 1982 Item C (50-327/82-05-03 and 50-328/82-05-03) 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion II and the Accepted QA Program (TVA-TR75-1, Revision 4), Section 17.2.2 requires a training program to provide for indoctrination of personnel performing activities affecting quality as necessary to assure that suitable proficiency is achieved and maintained'.' The OQAM, Part III, Section 6.1, paragraph 6.1 states that all persons regularly employed in the nuclear power plant shall be trained in the area of Plant Quality Assurance Program.
Centrary to the above, the training requirements for an outage craf tsman specified in AI-14, Plant Training Program, Revision 11, does not require training in the Quality Assurance Program.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I).
1.
Admission or Denial of the Alleged Violation
'TV'A admits the violation occurred as stated.
2.
Reasons for the Violation if Admitted Because the outage craftsmen (Field. Services craftsmen) are temporary employees and the quality related work performed by these craftsmen is performed in accordance with written, approved procedures and instructions, TVA felt that these employees should not receive all the training specified for permanent employees and that our program was meeting the ir. tent of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion II.
3 Corrective Steps Which Have Been Taken and the Results Achieved Action has been taken to initiate a program to schedule temporary employees for training in the qual.ity assurance area.
4.
Corrective Steps Which Will Be Taken To Avoid Further Violations Scheduling efforts will continue in order to train the temporary and permanent employees in the required General Employee Training (GET) areas within the designated 6-month time interval from their initial employment. Administrative Instruction (AI) 14 will be revised accordingly. It should be noted that all temporary employees e

who perform activities affecting quality will be under the supervision of a quality assurance trained individual at least antil their quality assurance training completion.
5 Date When Full Como11ance Will Be Achieved Action was taken to implement the revised GET program for temporary
~
employees on August 20, 1982. It is anticipated that within six months this program will enable us to maintain a 1cvel of completion approaching 100 percent. Full compliance will be achieved by February 20, 1983 when the program will be fully. implemented and procedure changes issued.
