ATTACIMENT A OPEN ITEM 454/89008-04 AND 455/89011-04 On June 7, 1989, a meeting has held with Security, Maintenance, and Process Computer Systems in order to identify an approach to resolving communication alarm issues.

The root cause for the majority of the communication alarms is directly linked to card reader malfunctions.

In an attempt to reduce these malfunctions, the following acitons have or will take place by the following dates:

1) The Instrument Maintenance and Operational Analysis Departments have developed an on-site computer simulator to test card readers ut. der plant conditions. This simulator will be used in conjhetion with present test equipment to identify card reader problems and ensure they are properly repaired.
2) The Station will develop a list of individual parts / components needed to repair the card readers.

Expected completion:

9/29/89

3) Any necessary parts /compcnents not currently in the inventory at Byron Station will be ordered.

Expected completion:

10/6/89 Items 2) and 3) are required since Byron Station intends to repair cardreaders on site rather than contracting repairs to a vendor.

In addition, the station will test new cardreaders when they are received on site. This will ensure that new cardreaders function properly when installed, and thus reduce the number of communication alarms.
