4. . . , FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION REVISED RESPONSE INSPECTION REPORT 86-21 VIOLATION 86-21-01 10CFR50, Appendix B, Criterion V states that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented procedures and shall be accomplished in accordance with these procedures. Training Department Procedure TDP-203, Licensed Operator Requalification Training Program, Revision 3, required that in the event of any unsatisfactory simulator performance as evaluated by simulator instructors during simulator training, training and operations management must evaluate the licensee's overall performance and determine whether or not the person should be removed from licensed duties until an accelerated requalification program is completed. If the licensee is not removed from licensed duties, a written justification approved by the operations manager must be maintained. Contrary to the above, it was noted that during the period of time this requirement was in effect, nine individuals received an overall unsatisfactory simulator performance rating on one of three drill evaluations and that actions required under this condition by procedure , ' TDP-203, Revision 3, were not satisfactorily implemented. This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1). , RESPONSE I Florida Power Corporation's Position Florida Power Corporation concurs with the violation as stated. Apparent Cause of Violation This violation was caused by a deficient procedure in that the procedure was not sufficiently clearly written to prevent misinterpretation. The intent of the procedure was to trigger operations and training management to evaluate an individual's overall perfomance (i.e., classroom, test resul ts , semi-annual evaluations, etc.) if his overall simulator performance was deficient. It was not the intent of the procedure to require this review when a single simulator deficiency was identified. We agree, however, the wording of the procedure could easily be interpreted to mean just that. Corrective Actions FPC immediately conducted further evaluations of the seven operators, the S0TA and the instructor. These evaluations were documented in a memo dated June 27, 1986. Five of the seven operators were immediately given an evaluated walk-through of the " failed" scenario on the control board _>

. ' ,; . - , - 4 mock-ups at the training center, and all five operators performed satisfactorily. The other two operators were immediately returned to the simulator for additional training and were evaluated as being satisfactory on the scenario. As of August 31, 1986, all nine persons in question have returned to the simulator and have been evaluated as satisfactory on the " failed" scenario. Action Taken to Prevent Recurrence Addi tionally, at the time of the inspection, FPC had al ready revised TDP-203 (Revision 5, dated April 1,1986) to clarify the requirements for special simulator evaluations and to prevent misinterpretation of this issue. Date of Full Compliance Full compliance was achieved on April 1,1986 when TDP-203 was revised.
