| | ATTACHMENT CAT FOLLOWUP ITEMS The following is an explanation of the various columns used below-I |
| | * Item Number: This is an artificial number assigned to each major observation or finding-that appears in either of the above inspection reports and will be used in the future inspection reports to document our review and closure (if warranted). Note that these numbers have been assigned to broad observations which may embed several specific deficiencies leading to the overall observation or findin * Type: Those observations by CAT that did not rer. ult in Potential Enforcement Action items have been labeled FI-(for follcwup item) follwed by one or more letters indicating the discipline involved such.as E for electrical. Findings which did relate to Potential Enforcement Actions have been labeled with the appropriate PEA number. In those instances where the initial followup (NRC Inspection Report 50-498/86-12;50-499/86-12) confirmed a CAT; PEA and it subsequently-appeared in the Notice of Violation issued on August 20, 1986, a V has been place'd"in the colum , |
| | indicating that the item resulted in a violation. " |
| | * Closure Report: This column denotes that the item is fully closed (the C i |
| | appearing after 86-12) or that the item was . examined during |
| | ' |
| | the course of Inspection 86-12 and.will.be tracked in.the future as an item pertaining to 86-12. Where nothing appears in the column, the item will be tracked entirely via the CAT repor Subject: A short summary title of the overall observation plus a: |
| | cross reference note to allow easier tracing from the CAT report to the followup repor * Report Ident: The numbers appearing in this column reflects, in the case of the CAT report, the paragraph number appearing in the detail sections of the report that appears to most satisfactorily capture the CAT inspectors observations. In those instances where 86-12 is indicated in the first column, the last column indicates the paragraph number contained in the Notice of Violation followed by another numer indicating where the finding was discussed in NRC Inspection Report 50-498/86-12;50-499/86-1 Item Closure Subject Report Number Type Report Iden FIE' Electrical Separation II.B.I.b(1)-1 85-21-02 FIE Conrnon supports for redundant raceway II.B.1.b(1)-2 |

Dockets: 50-498 50-499 Houston Lighting & Power Company ATTN: J. H. Goldberg, Group Vice President, Nuclear P. O. Box 1700 Houston, Texas 77001 Gentlemen:
The purpose of this letter is to provide a common identification of Construction Appraisal Team (CAT) followup items in order to facilitate an orderly review by the NRC staff. The attached listing includes items found in the Construction Appraisal Team inspection (NRC Inspection Report 50-498/85-21; 50-499/85-19), the Region IV initial followup thereto (NRC Inspection Report 50-498/86-12;50-199/86-12), and the Notice of Violation forwarded to you on August 20,1986, (Enforcement Action 10) which will require further followup by the NRC staff in order to ascertain whether appropriate corrective actions have been take ;
, We understand that during the course of the CAT inspection, your personnel I generated various records of the observations of the CAT personnel for f followup. These have been collectively labelled as the CAT Action List (CAL)
I and amount to in excess of 500 specific observations. To the extent that it can be done, these items should be grouped to coincide with the items listed in
~
'
the attached document. It is not necessarily our intent to followup on each of the 500 or more items but rather to do so selectively and sufficiently to assure ourselves that your actions are appropriate to the circumstance
Sincerely, Original Signed D2 J. E. GagliardO J. E. Gagliardo, Chief Reactor Projects Branch-Attachment: As stated cc w/ attachment: (see next page)

ATTACHMENT CAT FOLLOWUP ITEMS The following is an explanation of the various columns used below-I
- Item Number: This is an artificial number assigned to each major observation or finding-that appears in either of the above inspection reports and will be used in the future inspection reports to document our review and closure (if warranted). Note that these numbers have been assigned to broad observations which may embed several specific deficiencies leading to the overall observation or findin * Type: Those observations by CAT that did not rer. ult in Potential Enforcement Action items have been labeled FI-(for follcwup item) follwed by one or more letters indicating the discipline involved such.as E for electrical. Findings which did relate to Potential Enforcement Actions have been labeled with the appropriate PEA number. In those instances where the initial followup (NRC Inspection Report 50-498/86-12;50-499/86-12) confirmed a CAT; PEA and it subsequently-appeared in the Notice of Violation issued on August 20, 1986, a V has been place'd"in the colum ,
indicating that the item resulted in a violation. "
- Closure Report: This column denotes that the item is fully closed (the C i
appearing after 86-12) or that the item was . examined during
'
the course of Inspection 86-12 and.will.be tracked in.the future as an item pertaining to 86-12. Where nothing appears in the column, the item will be tracked entirely via the CAT repor Subject: A short summary title of the overall observation plus a:
cross reference note to allow easier tracing from the CAT report to the followup repor * Report Ident: The numbers appearing in this column reflects, in the case of the CAT report, the paragraph number appearing in the detail sections of the report that appears to most satisfactorily capture the CAT inspectors observations. In those instances where 86-12 is indicated in the first column, the last column indicates the paragraph number contained in the Notice of Violation followed by another numer indicating where the finding was discussed in NRC Inspection Report 50-498/86-12;50-499/86-1 Item Closure Subject Report Number Type Report Iden FIE' Electrical Separation II.B.I.b(1)-1 85-21-02 FIE Conrnon supports for redundant raceway II.B.1.b(1)-2
