- AE0u 1RP01 TO'bALP REVIEW FUR CALLAWAY l Introduction In oroer to evaluate the overall cuality of the contents of the g
Licensee Event Reports (LERs) submitted by Callaway 1 during the June 30, 1985 to May 31, 1986 Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) assessment period, a representative sample of the licensee's LERs was evaluated using a refinement of the basic methodology presented in NUREG/CR-4178. The sample consists of 11 LERs, which is half of the LERs that were on file at the time the evaluation was started. See Appendix A for a list of the LER numbers in the sample.
It was necessary to start the evaluation before the eno of the SALP asssessment period because'the input was due such a short time af ter tne eno of the SALP perioo. Therefore, not all of the LERs prepared during the SALP assessment perica were available for review.
Methodology Tne evaluation consists of a detailed review of each selecteo LER to
/
determine how well the content of its text, abstract, and coded fields meet 2 3 4 the reouirements of NUREG 1022 , and Supplements 1 and 2 to NUREG-1022.
The evaluation process for each LER is divided into two parts. Tne first part of the evaluation Consists of documenting comments specific to the Content and presentation of each LER. The second part consists of determining a score (0-10 points) for the text, abstract, and coded fields of each LER.
The LER specific comments serve two purposes: (1) they point out what the analysts cons *lered to be the specific deficiencies or observations concerning tre infomation pertdiriing to the event, ano (2) they provide a Attachnent B I
P
^
Oasis f or a count'or general ceticiencies for the overall sample of LERs.
Likewise, the scores serve two purposes: (1) they serve to illustrate in ,
numerical terms how the analysts perceived the Content of the information that was presented, and (2) they provide a basis for the overall score determined for each LER. The overall score for each LER is the result of combining the scores for the text, abstract, and coded fields (i.e.,
4 0.6 x text score + 0.3 x abstract score + 0.1 x coded fields score = overall LER score).
The results of the LER ouality evaluation are divided into two The categories: (1) detailed information and (2) summary information.
detailed information, presented in Appendices A through D, consists of LER sample information (Appendix A), a table of the scores for each sample LER
( Appendix B), tables of the number of deficiencies and observations for the text, abstract and coded fielos (Appendix C), and comment sheets containing narrative statements concerning the contents of each LER ( Appendix D).
When referring to these appendices, the reader is Cautioned not to try to directly correlate the number of comments on a comment sheet with the LER scores, as the analyst has flexibility to consioer the magnitude of a deficiency when assigning scores.
Discussion of Results A discussion of the analysts' conclusions concerning LER ouality is presenteo below. These conclusions are based solely on the results of the evaluatim of the contents of the LERs selected for review ano as sucn represent the analysts' assessment of each units performance (on a scale of 0 to 10) in submitting LERs that meet the recuirements of 10 CFR 50.73(b).
Table 1 presents the average scores for the sample of LERs evaluated f or Callaway 1. Tne reader is cautioned that the scores resulting from the methodology used for this evaluation are not directly comparable to the scores contained in hUREG/CR-4178 cue to refinements in the methodology.
In order to place tnt scores provided in Table 1 in perspective, the distribution of the overall score for all licensees that have been i
evaluated using the current methodology is provided in Figure 1.
Additional scores are added to Figure 1 each month as other licensees are evaluated. Table 2 and Appendix Table B-1 provide a summary of the information that is the basis for the average scores in Table 1. For example, Callaway l's average score for the text of the LERs that were evaluated was 9.0 out of a possible 10 points. From Table 2 it can be seen a that the text score actually resulted from the review and evaluation of 17 different requirements ranging from the discussion of plant operating g
conditions before the event (10 CFR 50.73(b)(2)(ii)(A)] to text presentation. The percentage scores in the text summary section of Table 2 provide an indication of how well each text requirement was addressed by the licensee for the 11 LERs that were evaluated.
Discussion of Specific Deficiencies A review of the percentage scores presented in Table 2 will quickly point cut where the licensee is experiencing the most difficulty in preparing LERs. For example, requirement percentage scores of less than 75 indicate that the licensee probably needs additional guidance concerning these requirements. Scores of 75 or above, but less than 100, indicate that the licensee probably understands the basic requirement but has either: (1) excluded certain less significant information from a large number of the discussions concerning that requirement or (2) totally failed to address a requirement in one or two of the selected LERs. The licensee should review the LER specific comments presented in Appendix D in order to determine why he received less than a perfect score for certain requirements. The text requirements with a score of less than 75 or those with numerous deficiencies are discussed below in their order of importance. In addition, the prinary deficiencies in the abstract and coded fields are discussed.
The corrective action discussions were considered inadequate in seven LERs, Requirement 50.73(b)(4), even though the overall score for this requirement was 81%. The most consistent deficiency concerning this requirement was that sufficient details were not always provided concerning actions taken to prevent recurrence of the event.

- a. Percentage scores are the result of dividing the total points for a requirement by the number of points possible for that requirement.
(Note: Some requirements are not applicable to all LERs; therefore, the number of points possible was adjusted accordingly.) The number in parenthesis is the number of LERs for which the requirement was considered applicable.
- b. A percentage score for this requirement is meaningless as it is not possible to determine from the information available to the analyst whether this requirement is applicable to a specific LER. It is always given 100%
if it is provided and is always considered "not applicable" when it is not.
- ~ Ah estimate of sne elapsea time of the unavailability of a failed safety system was not provided in two of five LERS in which this
=
reouirement was applicable [50.73(b)(2)(ii)(H)]. Generally, if sufficient cate and time information is provided for all ma,Jor occurrences of the event, it is sufficient to satisfy this reouirement as the duration of the train f ailure can then ne calculated.
B Overall, the LER text ouality is very good. Tne high scores for most of the text reouirements indicate that the licensee has put forth a lot of g effort to ensure tnat the reouirements of 10 CFR 50.73(b) are met.
i Tne abstracts are deficient in two major areas; namely, the summarization of cause ano corrective action information. Six LERs f ailed to adeouately summarize the cause information, and five LERs failed to adeouately sumar;ize the Corrective actions. These are two discussions that must be summarized in every abstract for the abstract to be considereo complete.
The main deficiency in the area of coded fields involves the title, Item (4). None of the titles indicated the root Cause and three failed to include the link (i.e., Circumstances or Conditions which tie the root cause to the result). While result is considered the most important part of the title, Cause ano link must be included to make a title complete. An example of a title that only addresses the result might be " Reactor Scram". Tnis is inaaecuste in that the cause and link are not provided. A more appropriate title mignt be " Inadvertent Relay Actuation During Surveillance Test LOP-1 Cat,ses Reactor Scram". From this title, the reader knows the cause was either personnel or procedural and surveillance testing was the link between the Cause and the result.
Table 3 provides a sumnory of the areas that need improvement for the Callaway 1 LERs. For adoitional and more specific information concerning aeficiencies, the reader should refer to the information presented in Appendices C and D. General guidance concerning these reouirements can be found in NUREG-1022, Supplement No. 2.
l J
- 7Ab& 3. EthMUSl NEEDlhG TMPROVEMENT FOR CALLAWAY l LERs Areas Comments Corrective actions Each LER should include sufficient detail to permit the reader to understand what corrective actions were taken or planned that will i prevent recurrence of the event.
Safety train unavailability Sufficient dates and times should be !
included in the text to enable the reader to determine the length of time that safety system trains or components were out of service (unless this time period is explicitly provided).
Abstracts Cause ano corrective actions information was often inadeauate.
Abstracts should summarize the cause and corrective action information that is oiscussed in the text.
Coaed fields
- a. Titles Titles should be written such that they better describe the event, in particular, the root cause of the event should be included in the title.

- a. The "sub-paragraph total" is a tabulation of specific deficiencies or observations within certain requirements. Since an LER can have more than one deficiency for certain requirements, (e.g., an LER can be deficient in the area of both date and time information), the sub-paragraph totals do not necessarily add up to the paragraph total.
- b. The " paragraph total" is the number of LERs that have one or more requirement deficiencies or observations. The number in parenthesis is the number of LERs for which a certain requirement was considered applicable.

There is no discussion that indicates how long the subject room cooler may have been inoperable prior to the " incidental observation".
- 2. 50.73(b)(2)(ii)(J)(2)--It appears that personnel
< error is involved in this event, but it is not discussea. For example, it appears that the last six month inspection of the room cooler belts may not have been adeauate, given tha statement that the belts do not have a history of failing between normal inspections. If the belt was adeauately inspected at the last inspection and found to have no degradation, it appears the interval for this inspection is too long.
- 3. 50.73(b)(2)(ii)(L)--Identification (e.g. manuf acturer and moael no.) of the failed component (s) discussed in the text is inaaeouate. Information concerning tne fa+1ed belts shoula nave been proviaed.
