M. Taylor and R. P. Denise.
I request that I&E assist Region IV in an assessment of the allegations efforts related to the Wolf Creek Generat.ing Station. The assessment should include the following phases:
1.
An assessment of the structure of the utility program on allegations received by them, chiefly in their Quality First Program.
Attributes -
assessed should include program placement in the utility organization, organizational indepe&nce, delineation of responsibilities within the Quality First Organization, precision and adequacy of decision-making process within Quality First, number and qualification of personnel, formality of effort as reflected in offical instructions, infonnation flow instructions (including alleger notification),
record keeping, management nc.fication, trending, assessment of trends, etc.
2.
An assessment of the implementation of the utility program on allegations received by them, chiefly in the Quality First Program.
This assessment should be focused on a determination of whether the utility program is being effectively implemented, and implemented as planned. The NRC assigned personnel should myiew a significant.
selected sample of allegations received by the utility for verifi-cation of program implenentation. Attributes to be assessed include progress of effort toward resolution (is the backlog maintained at a reasonably low level), priority treatment, timeliness of effort, clarity of corrective actions and other decisions, adequacy of documentation and record retention, adequacy of technical support and rationale for cisposition, etc.
3.
An assessment of the NRC/RIV effort on allegation management and closecut related to the Wolf Creek plant.
