Dear Mr. Stolz:
Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Unit 1 (TMI-1)
Operating License No. DPR-50 Docket No. 50-289 Generic Letter 83-28, Vendor Interface GPUN's November 8, 1983 response to Generic Letter 83-28 described our intent to conduct technical reviews of all vendor manuals for safety-related components. As discussed in our August 5, 1985 letter, our initial efforts in scoping and planning these tasks have convinced us of a very poor cost benefit return, and that generally the INP0 sponsored Nuclear Utility Task Action Committee's (NUTAC) approach offered a more realistic and beneficial approach. As a result, GPUN has decided to implement the NUTAC Vendor Equipment Technical Information Program.
Pursuant to our letter of August 5, 1985, please find attached our plans and schedules relative to the Vendor Interface issue at GPUN.
Sincer ly,
( ks %----

'4, GPUN VENDOR DOCUMENT CONTROL PROGRAM DESCRIPTION & MILESTONES OVERVIEW GPUN has established a program for Vendor Document Control. -The program provides for the review and dissemination of vendor correspondence, review of Technical Manuals for newly purchased equipment, and review of Vendor Technical Manuals for existing equipment (backfit manuals).
PROGRAM I. Vendor Correspondence GPUN currently has procedures (GPUN Procedures 5000-ADM-7316.02 and 5000-ADM-7370.92) in effect to ensure that vendor documents are properly reviewed for its impact on existing documents (procedures, manuals, policies, etc.) and that the-information is disseminated to the appropriate personnel for action. These procedures will be reviewed and revised'as necessary to ensure that industry generated information such as that discussed in.the INP0 sponsored Vendor Equipment Technical Information Program (VETIP) is properly reviewed, assessed, and acted upon.
II. Technical Manuals for New Equipment GPUN currently has a procedure (GPUN Procedure 5000-ADM-7316.03) in place for the review and issuance of Vendor Technical Manuals for new equipment. This procedure includes a standard checklist for guidance during the review and provisions for returning the document to the Vendor when~necessary for resolution of comments.

2-d III. Technical Manuals for Existing Equipment GPUN will conduct technical reviews of selected Vendor Technical Manuals. The following will be performed during the review process.
Determine applicability of the manual to our equipment Perform check of manual against installed equipment Review existing procedures (Maint., Operations) for consistency with' manual Ensure document reflects the experience / knowledge gained during previous maintenance or. operation routines 4
Contact the vendor to determine if GPUN has their latest recommendations applicable to our equipment Verify document is legible Classify the manual as one of the four established control i
levels described below:
LEVEL GPUN CONTROL MANUAL CHARACTERISTICS I
Controlled Dist.;
Manual is highly technical or specific, vendor Active Vendor normally submits updates, manual is used
- Interface and frequently. GPUN procedures rely on technical VETIP; Revisions accuracy of information contained in manual.
to Manual Controlled II Controlled Dist.;
Manual is highly technical or specific, vendor passive vendor does not routinely update manual, manual is-interface (VETIP);
used frequently.
Revisions to Manual Controlled III Controlled C',t.;
Manual-contains general information, manual is Passive Vendor seldom used, adequate procedures. exist,. vendor Interface (VETIP);
may be out of business.
Revisions to Manuals distributed.
IV Appears on Manual-infreqJently.used, manual is for inventory list equipment not in use or equipment which is not plant equipment (e.g. hot water heater, personal computers, fork lifts, etc.).

. GPUN currently estimates that a total of approximately 350 manuals will be selected for Technical.Re11ew and subsequently placed into the Level I & II categories above. The manuals will be selected from the following areas:
Manuals referenced in safety related procedures Manuals used in conjunction with procedures Manuals for equipment defined as reactor trip systems by NUREG 0800 Manuals on equipment-for which the component replacement cost is high r.
Manuals on equipment for which plant personnel want reviewed / controlled but are not within the above MILESTONES The backfit review project is expected to occur thru 1988 at which time the project will be complete and the selected backfit manuals will have been processed. The following are the key milestones for the backfit project.
Issue implementing procedures for review of manuals associated with existing equipment 4th Qtr. 85 Issue priority list of manuals to be reviewed 4th Qtr. 85 Issue contract for engineering assistance to 3rd Qtr. 85-4 perform reviews
..(Completed) 4 Review / revise existing procedures to ensure 1st Qtr. 86 INP0 VETIP is implemented adequately Complete backfit review project 4th Qtr. 88 2358f L
