1 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attention: Document Control Desk Washington, DC -20555 Gentlemen:
Subj ect: NPPD Response to Inspection Report 50-298/89-05 This letter is written in response to your letter dated March 2, 1989, transmitting Inspection Report 50-298/89-05. Therein you indicated that i
certain-of our activities were in violation of NRC requirements.
i Following is a statement of the violation and our. response in accordance with j
Statement of Violation Failure to Maintain Training Records Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 and the licensee's approved qua?ity assurance program description require that activities affecting quality shall be' accomplished in accordance with documented instructions.
"SRAB Training Program Guidelines," Change 2, Attachment 3 to the "SRAB Instructions and Guidelines," requires that records will be maintained of the 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> of training that SRAB members participate in each year.
Contrary to *he above, the NRC inspector found from the review of records that one member of SRAB had not completed the 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> of required training in the year 1988.
This is a Severity Level V violation.
(Supplement I) (298/8905-01)
Reason For The Violation-The District believes that the subject violation should more properly be l
i characterized as a failure of a SRAB member to rece1/e the 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> of SRAB Training required by the District's Safety Review and Audit Board Instructions and Guidelines rather than as a failure to maintain training records.
The SRAB training records accurately reflected the 14.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> that the SRAB member did received. The violation occurred as a result of the particular SRAB member's inability to schedule himself for the requisite hours of SRAB training due to conflicts with his normal duties i

NLS8900134 U.S. Document Control Desk Page 2 and the fact that the Board itself did not schedule 20 or more hours of formal SRAB training in 1988 and ensure that all members had the opportunity to attend.
SRAB members were encouraged to obtain the training hours on their own.
Corrective Steps Which Have Been Taken and the Results Achieved I
All members of SRAB were counseled on the importance of meeting the SRAB Instructions and Guidelines training requirements for 1989.
The SRAB Chairman reviewed the training record of the subject SRAB member and concluded that the missing 5.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> of training for 1988 did not prevent him from performing as an effective member of the Board.
Corrective Steos Taken To Avoid Further Violation Training requirements for SRAB are currently under review with the aim of documenting them in a Training Program Description (TPD) under the formal Nuclear Training Program.
It is anticipated that the Training Program Description for SRAB members will be closely related to that which is being developed for the Station Operation Review Committee (SORC).
The SRAB Instructions and Guidelines will then be changed to reflect the revised training requirements.
In addition, the SRAB Chairman will schedule at least 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> of formal SRAB training during 1989 and ensure that each SRAB member meets this current minimum requirements until the new TPD program is put in place.
Date When Full Compliance Will be Achieved The revised training requirements for SRAB will be in effect prior to the end of 1989.
In the interim all SRAB members are expected to received et least 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> of appropriate training during calendar year 1989.
