l Preface lhe review of current and projected expenditures and manpower utilization for CPU Nuclear Corporation conducted by Basic Energy Technology Associates, Inc. (HETA) was issued in a report dated February 28, 1983.

The focus of the review was on resources devoted to ihree Mile Island Unit I and Dyster Creek. A total of ei@ty-five (85) findings resulted in one hundred fitly-six (156) separate recommendations.

This report represents the CNNC Response. The 156 recommendations (paraphrased) have been assigned to one of five (5) broad categoriosa

%eber of Recommendetione I. Oroenization - unders tanding and working within the functional GNN structure. 28

11. nannino - appropriate staffang levels. 30 III. Oper at inuAteneaement Ef f ic iency/Produc t i v i t y 59 IV. Personnel-Related Matters - personnel practices. 17 V. Trainino 22 TI& luInt Within each of the above categories, responses have been placed into one of five classifications (STAIUS CODE):

A. AQree - Complete s agree with recommendation, action is complete.

B. Acree - Action Underway / Goals agree with recommendation, action is underway and/or action is a 1983 goal.

C. Auree - Action to be Scheduled agree with recommendation, action to be taken in the future.

D. Under - Evaluations either recommendation or appropriate action is under evaluation. N E. Disaareas disagree with recommendation.

Ihe GNNC Response Report (sorted by BETA finding) is now completed with this update. This revision contains the first half 185 apdated status. Since the last update, the three remaining open items have been completed.

In total, 150 recommendations have been agreed to and implemented. GNN took exception to six items (which are

===arized on page 3 of this update).

!!I-C (b) Rect Assign system responsibility in Plant Engineerirm) 1. 1MI-l A* Complete l for maintenance tasks.

Resp Our goal remanns to assign responsibility for each plant system to a specific engineers i.e., establish a program of " system experts".

A major reorganization of the Plant Engineering Department wee scheduled for 4th Quarter 19114.

Because of significant efforts required for restart and steam generator repairs, this re-organization was delayed until the 1st 4 1985.

As required by responoe to this finding and l recosamended by lheu Good Practice OP-209, IMI-l i hee assigned an engineer to each plant system. l It is intended that the use of system engineera H create a foundation of technical expertise for ex-h system and at the same time improve the li c-mication ard coordination of efforts between l departments. l Finding Ill-G-2: Ihe amount of stock at IMI is excessive.

Ill-G-2 Rect Purge TMI stock of unnecessary material.  !!!. Admin. A* ltem considered complete.

Resp On June 3, 1985, the office of the President ap-proved a Plan which as geared to the elimination of obsolete IMI warehouse inventory material. The I, Plan represents a three phased approach involving )l the consolidated efforts of TMI-1, IMI-2, QA, M6, l Red Con and Materials Management. Elements of the l Plan are: 1) evaluation of meterial for appro- l priate end use; 2) determination of end use ac- l captability; and 3) final engineering imposition. l Steerang Committee meetings have been held bi- l monthly, beginning in July 1985. ihe Committee l will identify meterials by category, e.g., flanges, I and proceed on en ites-by-item evaluation. While i this initiative will involve considerable work and l l require en extensive period of time to complete, l the final result will be identification of obsolete i meterial, a validation of material to be retained I in the inventory, t.c4 an improved descriptive nomen- I clature (HETA finding III-G-1). The Office of the l President has requested e semi-annual. report on the 1 implementation of this Plan. 1

coglex to change and the conclusion is to not attegt the change.

IV-F-2 (c) Rect Re-evaluate and look to reduce staffing level of Core 11. D. C. E Disagree Management Group.

Resp: Evaluation of requiremente indicates a staffing of six engineers and a manager / supervisor is required.

Reduction of one engineer from Plant Engineering planned for 1984, not specifically from Core Grow.

V41-5 (b) Hect Manager, IMI Iraining, improve accessibility to staff Ill. N. A. E Disagree by relocating office.

Resp: Office is in Iraining Building. Accessibility has been emphasized. Relocation not needed.

Findino VI-E-4: GRJ4's goal to achieve an in-house licensed nuclear design capability may not provide the anticipated advantages.

VI-E-4 Rect Do not develop an in-house licensed nuclear design III. T. F. E Disagree capabality unless GPuNC is willing to restrict fuel selectione to proven technology and not attempt to incorporate advantages in performance until they have been thoroughly tested at other plants.

Resp Technical Functions disagrees with this rec <==andation.

Our plana to develop in-house reload capability have been forwarded to the Office of the President for con-currence and authorization of additional personnel.

Findino VI-H Neither the chemistry group in Technical functions nor the System Laboratory has assumed a leadership role in the IM1-1 or Dyster Creek Chemistry improvement programs.

VI-H (a-1) Heca Hemove System Laboratory from GPUN af ter the Chemistry I. T. F. E Disagree Programs at IMI-l and Oyster Creek have been improved.

Hesps Disagree. Management of activity to benefit both nuclear and fossil activities best served by present location.

Findino Vil-E-2: The Heaponse Force capability at IM1-1 and IMl-2 can be considered to be 10 armed guards (each plant will support the other). Because outside s@ port is readily available, a smaller Response force would meet WC requirements.

VII-E-2 Rec: Combine response force capability at IMI to reduce II. Admin. E Disagree response force total. Negotiate with 4 0 to reduce force to six to eight guards.

Resp Disagree - Separation committed to in Restart hearings and potential for demonstratione make further reductions impractical. We recommend this issue be reconsidered after IMI-l is on line as the agreement with the WC involves separation of Units 1 and 2.
