Gentlemen:
Thank you for your letter of August 27, 1987, in response to our letter and the
attached Notice of Violation dated July 30, 1987. As a result of our review,
we find that additional information, as discussed with your Mr. G. Trevors,
during a telephone call on September 3,1987, is needed. Specifically, we
request that you provide copies of the training records which were missing at
the time of our inspection and clarify the exemptions from training (i.e., for
whom, for how long, and why were exemptions granted). Additionally, we request
that you describe what measures you have taken to assure that records, which
are removed for audits, are traceable.
Please provide the supplemental information within 30 days of the date of this
letter.
Sincerely,
4

Subject: NPPD Response to IE Inspection Report No. 50-298/87-12
Gentlemen:
This letter is written in response to your letter dated July 30, 1987, which
transmitted IE Inspection Report
No.
50-298/87-12.
Therein you indicated
that certain of our activities were in violation of NRC requirements.
Following are the statements of the violation and our responses in accordance
,
with 10 CFR 2.201:
A.
STATEMENT OF VIOLATION
Failure To Follow SRAB Instructions
Criterion XVII of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and the licensee's approved
Quality Assurance Plan require that, " Sufficient records shall be maintained
to furnish evidence of activities affecting quality."
The Safety Review
and Audit Board (SRAB) Guidelines and Instructions, dated March 11, 1986,
require that the SRAB administrator maintain records demonstrating that
each member of SRAB received at least 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> of training annually.
Contrary to the above, review of the SRAB administrator's training records
for 1986, showed that three SRAB members were not documented as receiving
the required training.
This is a Severity Level IV violation.
(Supplement I)(298/8712-02)
REASON FOR VIOLATION
During June and subsequent to the NRC inspection, an audit of the SRAB
training
records
was
performed
by
the
District's Quality Assurance
Department.
This audit indicated that the members of SRAB, except for
those exempted, had met the 20 hour2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> training requirement.
Due to the
closeness of the two inspections, the Acting SRAB Administrator had not
properly refiled the training records thus not all were available fo'r
review by the inspector.
The records have been reassembled and the
documentation again exists to validate that the training requirement was
met.
At the October 1986 SRAB meeting when the training records review
was discussed, it was noted that the SRAB member which was appointed in
August 1986 was exenrpt from the requirement.
The minutes inadvertently
0
failed to indicate that the new member appointed in September 1986 was
j
@pl
g.g
g also exempted.

CORRECTIVE STEPS TAKEN AND THE RESULTS ACHIEVED
The District does not concur that there was a violation of the SRAB training
requirement.
All training received by ' SRAB members, which is credited
towards the 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br />, is formally documented on a special form and approved
by the SRAB Chairman.
.At the next scheduled SRAB meeting, a correction
to the Meeting 112 minutes will be made to also include the exemption
of the September 1986 appointed member.
l
CORRECTIVE STEPS TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER VIOLATIONS
A new SRAB Training Record form is now being used to document training
by SRAB members.
In addition, all of the 1986 and subsequent training
records have been converted to the new form.
DATE WHEN FULL COMPLIANCE WILL BE ACHIEVED
NPPD is currently in full compliance.
If you have any questions regarding this response, please contact me or
K. C. Walden.
