te -- 1 Opening Request:

Produce copies of any CPRT-generated checklists that were used during the conduct of the action plan.

Response

All checklists utilized during the implementation of ISAP I.d.2 are attached. The checklists are as-follows:

a. Checklist for Review of CP-QP-21, Revisions 17 and 18 and CP-QP-2.3, Rev. 5 and QI-QP-2.1 -23, Rev. O
b. ~ Checklist for Limited Review-of CP-QP-2.1, Revisions 6 through 16 and CP-QP-2.3, Revisions 2 through 4
c. Qualification Training, and (Re)

Certification of CPSES Non-ASME QC Inspectors Attribute Checklist Approved 4/28/86

f. Qualification, Training, and (Re)

Certification of CPSES Non-ASME QC i

-o J Inspectors Attribute Checklist Approved 8/19/86.

Question:

1. Describe the problem areas addressed in the report. Prior.to undertaking to address those areas through sampling, what did Applicants do to define the problem areas further? How did it believe the problems arose? What did it discover about the QA/QC documentation for those areas?

How extensive did it believe the problems were?

Answer:

As stated in Section 4.1 of the Results Report, the objective of the Action Plan was to ensure that the TUGCO CPSES training and certification program for QC Inspectors complied with FSAR commitments. No action e

was Laken to define the problem areas further other than to conduct the reviews of applicable precedures as required by the Action Plan and as described in the Results Report. A root cause analysis is described in Section 5.5.1 of the Results Report and postulated causes for inadequate procedures are addressed. No QA/QC documentation was examined during the implementation of this Action Plan except for the verification of the implementation of the current TUGCO QC inspector certification program. Results of this evaluation are described in Section 5.2.3 of the Results Report. Problems which may have been caused by

F e ,1 inadequate QC inspector certification procedures are currently under evaluation under ISAP I.d.1, "QC Inspector Qualifications."

Question:

2. Provide any procedures or other internal documents that are necessary to understand how the checklists should be interpreted or applied.

Answer:

No procedures or other internal documents exist or are required to understand how the checklists should be interpreted or applied. In general, the checklists extracted specific requirements from applicable standards, Regulatory Guides, and procedures. The checklists were used by experienced personnel, knowledgeable of the specific requirements, as aids in conducting reviews and evaluations and as a method of documenting results. In some cases, the same individual who prepared the checklist used the checklist.

Question:

3. Explain any deviation of checklists from the inspection report documents initially used in inspecting the same attributes. (This question is applicable only to construction Results Reports.)

Answer:

, 3 This question is not applicable to this Results Report. The checklists were not inspection checklists nor were there any original TUGCO documents or checklists comparable to those used by the QA/QC Review Team.

Question:

4. Explain the extent to which the checklists contain fewer attributes than are required for conformance to codes to which Applicants are committed to conform.

Answer:

The checklists were based upon the requirements of ANSI N45.2.6-1978 and Regulatory Guide 1.58, Revision 1 and do not contain fewer attributes than are required to verify conformance to their requirements.

Question:

5. (Answer question 5 only if the answer to question 4 is that the checklists do contain fewer attributes.) Explain the engineering basis, if any, for believing that the safety margin for components (and the plant) has not been degraded by using checklists that contain fewer attributes than are required for conformance to codes.

l j Answer:

This question is not applicable because of the answer to Question 4.

Question:

l l

. t

6. Set forth any changes in checklists while they were in use, including the dates of the changes.

Answer:

No changes, except for corrections of obvious typographical errors, were made in checklists while they were in use. These corrections were marked by hand on the checklist by the reviewer and are included in the Results Report files.

~

Question:

7. Set forth the duration of training in the use of checklists and a-summary of the content of that training, including field training or other practical training. If the training has changed or retraining occurred, explain the reason for the changes or retraining and set forth changes in duration or content.

Answer:

No training was conducted in the use of the checklists nor was any required. The checklists were prepared for use by personnel familiar with the requirements of the codes / standards / procedures and were used by personnel who also were experienced with the requirements contained therein. The purpose of the checklists was to provide a list of requirements and space on which results of the evaluations of the documents could be recorded. This is turn provides a record of the review and ensures the important

, i requirements are not overlooked during the evaluation process.

Question:

8. Provide any information in Applicants' possession concerning the accuracy of use of the checklists (or the inter-observer reliability in using the checklists). Were there any time periods in which checklists were used with questionable -

training or QA/QC supervision? If applicable, are problems of inter-observer reliability addressed statistically?

Answer:

No inform.ation is available concerning the accuracy of use of the checklists, or concerning inter-observer feasibility.

Question:

9. Summarize all audits or supervisory reviews (including reviews by employees or consultants) of training or of use of the checklists. Provide the factual basis for believing that the audit and review activity was adequate and that each concern of the audit and review teams has been resolved in a way that is consistent with the validity of conclusions.

Answer:

Two internal ERC audits, both of which covered use of checklists by personnel implementing the Action Plan, were conducted. These audits were as follows:

a. ERC Audit 86-05, August 18-22, 1986

- , I

b. ERC Audit 86-06, September 15-19, 1986.

No findings of deviation or Audit Action Requests were issued as a result of the audits.

Question:

10. Report any instances in which draft reports were modified in an important substantive way as the result of management action. Be sure to explain any change that was objected to (including by an employee, supervisor or consultant) in writing or in a meeting in which at least one supervisory or management official or NRC employee was present.

Explain what the earlier drafts said and why they were modified. Explain how dissenting views were resolved.

Answer:

The initial drafts of the Result Report were prepared by the Special Evaluation Team (SET). Upon SET's departure in May 1986, because of medical and personal commitments, the status of the draft Results Report was evaluated by the Externe.1 Source Issues Deputy Program Manager. As a resttlt of this evaluation, the following additioaal actions were undertaken by the QA/QC Review Team:

a. CP-QP-2.1, Revision 17 and CP-QP-2.3, Revision 5 were reviewed to comply with the latest documentation requirements of QA/QC Review Team procedures issued l

l

, i subsequent to the procedure reviews conducted by SET

b. CP-QP-2.1, Revision 18 and QI-QP-2.1-23, Revision O were reviewed to comply with the latest documentation requirements of QA/QC Review Team procedures issued subsequent to the procedure reviews conducted by SET. This review also verified these revisions appropriately resolved the QA/QC Program Deviation identified during the review described in paragraph a above
c. A verification of the adequacy of implementation of the current TUGCO CPSES TUGCO QC Inspector Certification Program was conducted.

The draft Results Report was then totally rewritten to describe initial SET activities and the results of the additional actions undertaken by the QA/QC Review Team described above. This revision did not substantially change the description or conclusions of SET's activities described in the previous draft Results Report.

It did provide additional documentation as

_g_

e :- 8 required by the latest QA/QC Review Team procedures and identified a QA/QC Program Deficiency not previously identified in the original draft Results Reports.

No changes made in the draft Results Reports were objected to by any employee, supervisor or consultant during the course of the development of the final issued Results Report.

Question.

11. Set forth any unexpected difficulties that were encountered in completing the work of each task force and that would be helpful to the Board in understanding the process by which conclusions were reached. How were each of these unexpected difficulties resolved?

Answer:

No unexpected difficulties were encountered in implementing this Action Plan.

Question:

12. Explain any ambiguities or open items left in the Results Report.

Answer:

There are three open items resulting from the implementation of this Action Plan. These items, which are discussed in Sections 5.5.1 and 5.5.2 of the Results Report are as follows:

,, e

a. The question of whether senior TUGCO management was remiss in assigning inexperienced personnel to the QC inspector certification procedure development activity will be addressed during the collective evaluation process.
b. The possible certification of unqualified inspectors will be addressed during the implementation of ISAP's I.d.1 and VII.c,

" Construction Reinspection / Documentation Review Plan," and evaluated during the collective evaluation process,

c. The determination of whether other inadequate QA/QC procedures existed will be finally evaluated during the collective evaluation process using information from this and other Results Reports as well as results from any additional investigations which may be warranted.

These three items have been formally transmitted to the QA/QC Review Team Collective Evaluation Supervisor for follow-up and closure.

Question:

13. Explain the extent to which there are actual or apparent conflicts of interest, including whether a worker or supervisor was reviewing or evaluating his own work or supervicing any aspect of the review or evaluation of his own work or the work of those he previously supervised.

Answer:

No actual or apparent conflicts of interest were identified during the implementation of this Results Report.

Question:

14. Examine the report to see that it adequately discloses the thinking and analysis used. If the language is ambiguous or the discussion gives rise to obvious questions, resolve the ambiguities and anticipate and resolve the questions.

Answer:

The QA/QC Review Team is unaware of the existence of any ambiguities or obvious unanswered questiotis other than those addressed in Question 12 above.

BACKGROUND The Texas Utilities Generating Company (TUGCO) procedure CP-QP.-2.1 addresses training non-ASME QC Inspectors at the Comanche Peak Steam-Electric Station (CPSES). Based on ANSI N45.2.6, "1978" and Regulatory cuide 1.58 Revision 1, it establishes the methods to train, qualify, and certify those individuals designated to perform non-ASME QC inspection functions. Specifically, revisions 18 and 21 of the referenced TUGC0 procedure require field proficiency examinations be administered by a cognizant individual certified to a Level III in that activity / discipline. Revisions 19 through 21 require personnel to receive training in.any revisions to the inspection procedure / instruction in which they wera initially certified.

This attribute checklist provides guidance _when verifying the qualifications of those individuals administrating and. assessing field proficiency examinations and determining whether training in revised inspection procedures / instructions is conducted as required.

Supplemental attribute checks may be added. When applicable, the source of each attribute check is indicated in parenthesis.
