TMIA Response to Licensee's First' Set of Interrogatorieci

-Interrogatory T-25.

(2) . Off-shift reports. produced in discovery outline ztheffollowing' attitude problems:

(a) 2 D-27 ( 403) - Off-Shift Report by Bruce Leonard:

(i) 'GPU has no standard response to emergency situations and Auxiliary Operator standard emergency responses have not been accepted'by operators; (ii) -Operators do not understand that shif t super-visors and shift foremen need-to know where they are at all times.

(b) Off-shift Tour Report by Newton, January 15, 1982:

. There is little or no attempt of supervisors to' work with

~

operators on OJT.

(3) Employees lack! confidence'in the training process as well as in various levels of GPU and management. They also lack confidence in plant procedures, administrative guidelines, and

. corporate policies. See Memo to Arnold.from Long, August 30,

. 1982, Re Lessons Learned from ASLB PID.

(4) Operators fail to appreciate the significance of documentation problems _and their. potential safety significance..

v Interrogatory No. 24(c)

, GPU has failed to determine the root cause or accept Lcorporate responsibility for the cheating failures.

Dr. Long,-D. A. Ross and R. A. Knief, who have positions

. failed to= recognize:the following as issues deserving management attention:

f.

c-

.;. 9 (1)- The.need to demonstrate concern / willingness to help employees; i"

(2) The need for GPUN to davelop standards and guides for site training programs; (3). The need for strengthening of site stress control /
