i ITEM B (44578M 6-D-03; 446/8622-D-01)
: 8. Section 4.1.2 of ISAP 1.d.3, Revision 0, requires, in part, that ERC' perform an evaluation of the craft training procedures including training and retraining, and that the following items will be considered during_        4 this evaluation:                                                              l
:l "How craft personnel become aware of changes'in design and construction      J requirements and how retraining occurs "                                        !
                "llow craft personnel are informed and become knowledgeable of QA/QC        )
requirements / criteria and changes to those requirements / criteria."
l J
                .Section 4.1.3 of the ISAP also states, in part, " Based on this review (of    l procedures), conclusions will be drawn by the QA/QC Review Team Leader as to the adequacy of both past and current practices used for craft selection and training. If current procedures are determined to be              ,
inadequate, recommendations for improvement will be provided to TUGC0          j prior to the closure of this action plan."                                    i I
In deviation from the above, ISAP 1.d.3 Results Report does not provide a      l recommendation that TUGC0 revise the Bahnson Service Company's craft          !
training Procedure QCI-CPSES-013, " Indoctrination and Training of              l Personnel," which does not assure that: (1) " craft personnel become aware of changes in design and construction requirements"; and (2) " craft requirements / criteria and changes to those requirements / criteria" (445/8626-D-03; 446/8622-D-01).

      .s_        Page 2 of 5 REVISED RESPONSE ITEM B (44578626-D-03; 4W/8622-D-Oll TV Electric agrees with the alleged deviation and the requested information follows:
: 1. Reaso_n for Deviation This deviation occurred because the ISAP I.d.3 Results Report did not recommend that TV Electric revise the Bahnson craft training procedure QCI-CPSES-013, " Indoctrination and Training of Personnel". The reasons for not making the recommendation are:
1                      1)    Revision 0 of ISAP 1.d.3 dated January 24, 1986, instructs the QA/QC l                            Review Team Leader to ..."If current procedures are determined to be inadequate, recommendations for improvement will be provided to TUGC0 prior to the closure of this action plan." The Action Plan Change i                            Request for Revision 0 of the ISAP dated August 27, 1986, removed this requirement. The Results Report was written according to the precepts of Revision 1 of the ISAP. At the time the NRC identified the alleged deviation, Revision 1 was not formally approved by the SRT, but was being used by the Issue Coordinator.
(TV Electric recognizes that this situation is not in accordance with Revision 3 of the CPRT Program Plan which was in effect at that time). This is discussed further in our response to N0D Item C l                            (445/8626-D-04; 446/8622-D-02).
: 2)    Revision 1 of ISAP I.d.3 was designed to broaden the scope of adequacy assessment and to address use of results from other ISAPs.
Section 4.1.2 states, in part, ..."The assessment of craft personnel training pro procedures, interviewing grams was accomplished                                                                byand craft personnel, reviewing crafttraining observing    training activities." Section 4.1.3 states, in part, ... The QA/QC Review                                            "
Team used results of their activities to draw conclusions about the adequacy of past and current craft personnel training practices.
These conclusions may be modified if shortcomings in the training of craft personnel are determined..."
Based on the above, the net result of the analysis performed in I.d.3 indicated that adequate re-training did in fact occur for Bahnson personnel even through QCI-CPSES-013 lacked specificity regarding re-training of craft personnel. Therefore, ISAP I.d.3 did not recommend a revision to the Bahnson procedure. However, upon further consideration of this matter, TV Electric agrees that the Bahnson procedure should have been revised to state clearly how re-training should occur. This would provide assurance that training and re-training would continue to occur in a timely and prudent fashion.
However, since Bahnson is no longer onsite, revising their procedure is no longer a concern.

N00 ITEM C:                                                                            ,
L                Your. response to Item C of the NOD does not address how the SRT was aware of:
                .ISAP changes which were made in,the Results' Reports. In addition,' you state
                . corrective action was taken with the SRTlon May 20, 1987.1 Either this date is-in. error.or your corrective actions,were not timely. Therefore, we requesti that.you revise your response to this deviation to address the above two-concerns.
NOTICE OF DEVIATION ITEM'C (445/8626-D-04; 446/8622-D-02)-
C.      The W. G. Counsil letter (CPRT 207) to the NRC, dated January 27, 1986, regarding CPSES. submittal of Revision 3 of the Comanche Peak Response Team (CPRT) Program Plan;and ISAPs, committed that, "...further substantive-modifications to'these' documents (CPRT Program Plan ISAPs)lwill require
                        - the approval of the Senior Review Team prior to implementation."-
Change Notice.001 to Comanche Peak Project Procedure CPP-024,;" Issue
: Specific Action Plan Revision," dated April 4, 1986, requires that "...the-SRT approves substantive changes prior to implementation."
In devi'ation from the above, substantive changes to ISAP I.d.3 were          !
implemented prior to approval by-the Senior Review Team (SRT). For example, in April.1986 the Special Evaluation Team's effort was transferred'to Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC): Review Team
                          . personnel and the issue coordinator was changed; however, the SRT did not
                        - approve these and other changes until August- 1986 (446/8626-D-04; 446/8622-D-02).
REVISED. RESPONSE ITEM C (44678MB D 047 44Ti/8622-0-02)
                -TV Electric agrees with the alleged deviation and the requested information follows:.
: 1. ' Reason for Deviation All substantive changes to CPRT Action Plans are approved by the SRT.          l However, on occasion, Action Plan changes have been implemented prior to receiving formal SRT approval, which is inconsistent with the guidance delineated in CPRT-207, PAG-01 and CPP-024. Therefore, on occasion, the SRT has deviated from program requirements by not formally approving          l substantive changes to Action Plans prior to their implementation. These deviations have occurred due to an oversight by the SRT.
