Report 50-244/87-09

R.E.Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Docket No.50-244 Dear Mr.Russell: In accordance

with your request contained in USNRC Inspection

Report 50-244/87-09

paragraph 4e, regarding the presence of non-technical

reading material in the Control Room, the following response is submitted.

Following notification

of the observation

by the Resident Inspector to the Operations

Manager, on 5/27/87, a thorough review was conducted.

The observation

was a subject of discussion

at a Shift Supervisor's

and Control Room Foreman's Meeting on 6/2/87.As was ment'ioned

in the Inspection

Report, the current administra-

tive procedure guidance limits reading material to that authorized

by the Shift Supervisor.

This policy along with the observation

have been reviewed with Shift Supervisors.

It was conveyed to the Shift Supervisors, that use of non-technical

reading materials such as paperbacks

or magazines is not acceptable.

All operational

and on-shift activities

are continually

supervised

.by the Shift Supervisor, Control Room Foreman, and'Statioh Management.

They continue to be motivated and dedicated indivi-duals.With this in mind, it seems prudent that this type of concern should only surface when and if it is observed to effect operator activities

and performance.

As was the case, the observation

only involves the presence of non-technical

reading material and no other data to conclude that operator attentiveness

was or could be in question.g708070077

between all levels of operations

and plant management.to maintain the.highest performance

standards.
