Robert D. Martin, NRC, diverted from his planned presentation on "Recent NRC Initiatives" in his luncheon talk at the Symposium to provide l
some comments specific to records management issues.
According to Martin, your records must be accurate and correct to assure that your plant was built in accordance with public health and safety regulations. You must look at record systens carefully to attempt to assure that records developed in 1980 can answer the questions asked in 1990, he explained. Martin also j
J said that records systems and methods are vital in preparing all types of required documentation.
"As Records Managers in the Nuclear field," he said, "you have very responsible duties in meeting the demands for recorded and. historical data that can be readily available, properly recorded and in j
excellent shape."
Martin pointed out to the audience that the concern for the agency regarding Record Issues is to insure " excellence in your performance."
"The scrutiny of records within the agency is extremely high," said Martin, noting that they serve as a bridge of quality assurance between the observa-tion of work in progress.
Other points made by Martin during the talk were:
(1) Senior management often does not get involved with record systems until a serious problem happens and when those records must be searched for and retrieved; (2) Records I
retrieval systems within our industry is not at all what it should be to neet industry needs, much less those of NRC inspection; and (3) You must take your current file index and make it " user friendly" to create a retrieval system that all management can use--that is accurate, relevant and dynamic.
