| Failure To Complete NRC Commitments
| |
| Within The Committed Schedule
| |
| The purpose of this letter is to notify the NRC of two commitments which were
| |
| not ccepleted within the schedule committed to in previous NRC correspondence .
| |
| This deviation from commitments was discussed with the NRC resident inspectors
| |
| on August 12, 1993. Each of the commitments is discussed separately below.
| |
| Commitment 1
| |
| Pricr to the 1992 NRC-observed operator requalification examinations,
| |
| individuals designated to participate in the examination inadvertently
| |
| received training from an instructor who was under the Pre-examination
| |
| Security agreement. This is discussed .n the NRC Requalification Examinatict
| |
| Report No. 2S2/0L-92-02.
| |
| In our response to the Requalification Examination Report, dated November 15,
| |
| 1992, we identified two actions to be taken to preclude a further occurrence
| |
| of this type. One of the actions committed to was the review of this
| |
| violation during the first quarter of 1993 with all licensed operators and
| |
| operations instructors.
| |
| Following the submittal of the November 18, 1992 response, the subject
| |
| c omr:i t n:ent was entered into the plant commitment tracking system with a
| |
| required completion date of March 31, 1993 However, no Request for Training
| |
| Se rvices was initiated. This form is the normal mechanism for requesting
| |
| training to he performed by the Prairie Island Training Center. The form is t
| |
| '
| |
| used ::y the training center to identify, schedule and track training requests.
| |
| This lack of a Request for Training Services in comhination with mis-
| |
| communication within the training department resulted in the required trainir.g
| |
| not being completed in the first quarter of 1993.
| |
| A contributing cau e of the failure to meet the committed date was the
| |
| inadequacy of the current commitment tracking system monthly reporting process
| |
| for ensuring that commitments with firm completion. dates are completed per the
| |
| committed schedule.

| Act .t 24, 1993
| |
| Page 2
| |
| The committed review will be performed during the six-week training cycle
| |
| immediately preceding the 1993 operator requalification examinations and will
| |
| be completed by September 24, 1993. This schedule will meet the intent of the
| |
| original committed action by completing the review prior to the next
| |
| requalification examination.
| |
| Commitment 2
| |
| NRC Inspection Reports 50-282/92022 and 50-306/92022 included a Notice of
| |
| Violation concerning design and construction of a new building wall. In our
| |
| response letter dated January 19, 1993, we committed to training on the
| |
| subject to be completed during the first quarter of 1993.
| |
| Again, as in the situation described above, no Request for Training Services
| |
| was initiated following submittal of the commitment. In addition, this
| |
| commitment was not entered into the commitment tracking system in a timely
| |
| manner. The subject commitment was discussed with the Training Department
| |
| prior tc submittal; however, the lack of a Request for Training Services , the
| |
| failure to enter the commitment in the tracking system and miscommunication
| |
| within the training department resulted in the required training not being
| |
| completed in the first quarter of 1993.
| |
| This training has now been scheduled and will be completed by August 27, 1993.
| |
| Actions to Prevent Recurrence
| |
| Site personnel will be reminded of the proper use of the Request for Training
| |
| Services.
| |
| While miscommunication was a factor in these deviations, it was only a factor
| |
| because the formal Request for Training Services process was not used.
| |
| Therefore, no corrective actions are deemed necessary to address
| |
| miscommunication.
| |
| A process re-engineering effort has been initiated to strengthen the process
| |
| for development of outgoing correspondence to the NRC and commitments that may
| |
| be contained in that correspondence. It is anticipated that as part of the
| |
| new process, commitments to the NRC will receive increased management review
| |
| during development of the correspondence and that the responsibility for
| |
| completion of the commitment will be more clearly defined before the
| |
| correspondence is submitted.
| |
| The current process at Prairie Island for the tracking of NRC commitments is
| |
| being evaluated to identify any improvements that can be made to ensure that
| |
| NRC commitments are entered into the system in a timely manner and that
| |
| periodic reminders are sent to personnel assigned to complete commitments.
| |
| The review is being conducted concurrent with the conversion of the commitment
| |
| tracking system to the new plant information computer system. Necessary
| |
| revisions to the commitment tracking system will be incorporcted during the
| |
| conversion process.
