SUBJECT:

EFFECTIVENESS OF LICENSEE CONTROLS IN IDENTIFYING, RESOLVING,

AND PREVENTING PROBLEMS INSPECTION REPORT 50-440/98002(DRS)

Dear Mr. Myers

On January 30,1998, the NRC completed an inspection of effectiveness of licensee controls in

identifying, resolving, and preventing problems at your Perry, Unit 1, facility. The enclosed

report presents the results of that inspection.

Areas examined during the inspection included the corrective action program, the operational

experience feedback program, the self assessment program, and safety review committees.

Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and

representative records, observations of activities, observations of equipment material condition,

and interviews with personnel. In addition, the team assessed corrective actions taken for

prob l ems previously identified in the resident inspector reports and the NRC Architect / Engineer

design inspection.

Tne team concluded that the corrective action program at Perry had shown improvement in the

past year. Improvements were noted in identification, resolution, and prevention of problems.

The corrective action program was accepted by the organization at alllevels and functioning

well. However, continued attention will be required for effective resolution of ongoing personnel

error and corrective action timeliness problems.

The team also noted that implementation of recent correction actions had resulted in

improvements in severa, areas, such as, preparation of design change packages, plant material

condition, and Maintenance Rule implementation.

I

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that no violations of NRC

requirements occurred.

\\

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its

enclosures, and your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
