Dear we:

Following a progress check visit to Rancho Seco in September 1985. we worked out arrangements for a second progress check visit in December. 'Our team conducted this progress check, including a review of related corporate activities the week of December 9.1985. A copy of the team's trip report is attached. + My review of the report and discussions with the team indicate that while several areas need additional attention, progress is being achieved in most areas reviewed. Of particular note is the progress to date in the chemistry area. As agreed upon during the team's visit, we will work with you to ~ To assist in arrange for another pngress check visit in early March. preparation for this progress check, we request an updated status of the IMPO corporate and plant evaluation responses by February 28. 1986. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Pat Beard (404-980-3214) or me. Sincerely. Zack T. Pate President ZTP:ke attachment cc: R. J. Rodriguez RECElVED JAN 0 !SE3

Good progress is being achieved in the radiological protection program. ~ Control of maintenance and post-maintenance testing is improving. The team identified the following areas as needing additional emphasis: Non-licensed operator performance during. rounds (draft copies of an observation on Auxiliary Operator Rounds dated 12/11/85 were given to Messers Lowe. Rodriguez, and Coward - see attachment 1) Supervisory involvement with non-licensed operators and some maintenance personnel Development of the Coordinated consnitment List and plant task tracking system Operations department's cooperation with the maintenance and health physics departments Planning and scheduling of maintenance activities ' reflects the status of some specific issues where addition &l attention is needed. In addition, we suggest that SMJD formally adopt the Steam Generator Owners Group Guidelines for secondary chemistry. Details of the team's visit were discussed at a debriefing conducted December 13. 1985, attended by Dewey Lowe, Ron Rodriguez, George Coward and members of the plant and corporate staff. 1 i INP0 FOLLOW-UP ACTION Schedule a followup visit to Rancho Seco in early March - Action - Lu Targer Arrange for an evaluation trip to Arkansas Nuclear One for George i Coward in early Februrary - Action - Lu Targer Provide assist visit in maintenance planning and scheduling in early January (contact - Jim Shetler) - Action - Nick Paleologos maintenance Provide additional materials as requested in training,y and operations - Action - Don E1111spie and Bill Wig.p DLG/WW:ke attachments cc: President's Office

I Finding (OA.3-2) Increased management attention is needed to ensure correction i l of recognized problems. Identified deficiencies and neecec actions are not prioritized and tracked to ensure timely corrective action is taken. As a result, many long-standmg problems have not been corrected. Recommendation increase management -attention to resolve long-standing problems. Prioritize problems, track corrective action to completion, and assess the effectiveness of action taken. Kr,xmse Identified deficiencies are tracked on the Coordinated Commitment ~ List and/or the QA Follow-up List until completion. Additionally, increased management attention will also be used to correct long-standing problems such as those identified in this report in an appropriate order of priority. The scope and depth of the QA audit program are presentif. under. review. Included in this review will be a determination of how the identification of recurring problems can be improved and how the effectiveness of corrective actions can be 1 assessed. Action is underway to implement a priority system for the Coordinated Commitment List and to implement a system to ensure closed items are completed. i Status While a program _has been outlined to upgrade the coordinated (12/13/85) cossnitment list including prioritization of items, it will be difficult to meet the January 1986 date for completion without additional emphasis. Also, further emphasis is needed to implement the plant task tracking system. i i i 2 l

Finding (OP.3-1) Control of disabled annunciator's, computer alarms, and trend

recorder points needs to be upgraded. Control room operaters were not aware of the status of some disabled alarms and trene recorder points or the reasons they were not in service.

Supervisory authorization is not required prior to disabling these devices, and formal documentation of their status is not maintained in the control room. Recommendation Provide formal documentation in the control room of the status of all disabled alarms and trend recorder points, including tne - reason the device is disabled. Shift supervisor approval should be required before these devices are disabled.

Response

Procedures will be revised to include posi.tive supervisory control of disabled annunciators and trenc ' ecorder points. r These controis will include requiring shift supervisor permission to disable any. alarm or trend recorder and requiring the logging of disabled annunciators or trend recorders along with the reason for the action. The disabled alarm and annunciator Icge will be reviewed during shif t turnovers. A method of. logging disabled annunciators and trend recorder Status (12/13/85) points has been established that provides the essential elements of approval and control. However, a spot check of some trenc recorder points showed the logged status was not always accurate. A program to periodically audit the log to ensure accuracy has not been implemented, i .s ' a_

Equipment attendant (EA) and auxiliary operator (AO) perfor-Finding (OP.4-1) mance needs upgrading in the areas of equipment monitoring, material inspection, documenting deficiencies, and radiological practices. Some operators did not note or report plant deficien-cies, and did not check some operating and standby equipment. In addition, some operators did not follow statjon requirements for work,in high radiation or contaminated areas. Instruct EAs and Aos in the proper technique's for monitoring Rweer.;r.eadation and identifying, investigating, and documenting l equipment abnormal conditions. Ensure operators inspect all equipment and spaces on a regular basis and that plant radiological control policies are followed. One-cr,one training, which is 75 percent complete, is being

The on-shift licensed operators will help maintain the level of performance of the non-licensed operators and j future non-licensed operators through the training they receive j as on-the-}ob evaluators / supervisors and through the accredited I training program.

m .s Finding (MA.3-2) Planning and scheduling of maintenance activities need to be upgraded. Problems identified include the following: Job scoping before beginning maintenance is se:cer-a. accomplished. b. Delayr sometimes occur due to incomplete planntrg, inadequate work packages, and lack of cocrdinat.en among plant depa-tments. c. A schedule does not exist for daily maintenance activities. Recommendation improve job planning by on-site job scoping, better definition of work to be accomplished, and use of work packages in job planning. Prepare a daily schedule to improve communication and coordination among oepartments.

Response

The District concurs with the need for better job planning and scoping and endorses the concept of the use of work packages in Job planning. The District currentiy has a contractor performing a study of the site scheduling organization and identifying the planning and scheduling needs for the Rancho Seco site. The results of this study are due to be issued in December 1985 and will define a recommended organizationai structure for per- . forming. outage and maintenance planning and scheduling at Rancho Seco. It is the District % intent to review the study and implement the applicable recommendations during 1986. In anticipation of the increased staffing levels required to a!!cw proper job planning anti work package preparation, both the' Maintenance and Scheduling divisions have requested additional manpower in the 1986 budget. Recognizing that the implemen-

  • tation of the Planning and Scheduling study and hiring of addi-tional staff is a long-term effort, the District has initiated an immediate corrective action in the form of the Daily Work Plan. The Daily Work Plan, coupled with the review conducted l

by Scheduling and operations and the increased management i attention at supervisor meetings, results in added emphasis on l ~ the individual shops to plan their jobs in advance. In addition, it provkfes a mechanism to improve communications and coordina-tion among the departments on maintenance work activities. Status 4. Planning groups have I:een set up in mechanical and electric (12/13/85) maintenance. The I E maintenance department has not established a planning group to date.

b. and c.

A daily schedule is now in use which improves comunicatter between 0P$. maintenance, and HP. Delays have been reduced with the exception et clearance tagging problems. Currently, only-about 2/3 of the clearances requested are approved by operations in time to support daily maintenance activities. d. A review of supervisory tour reports indicate Mechanical ~ and IE maintenance groups are not meeting the requirement: of the plant supervisory tour program. l
