conference was announced in a letter to the licensee dated August 25, 198 Mr. Jack Martin informed the licensee of the outline and scope of the conference. Messrs. Kirsch, Dodds and P. Johnson then outlined for the licensee the various specific violations and concerns which were to be the subject of the conference. These included: Repeat violations in the areas of:

1) Control of combustible materials 2) Control of measurement and test equipment including apparent violations in the control of HP test and measurement equipment 3) Tool inventory, tool control and cleanliness control invclving work on open systems Apparent violations from the Equipment Qualification team inspection includtng:

1) Missing conduit plugs in Rosemount Model 1181 pressure transmitters 2) Limitorque motor operated valve operator deficiencies 3) Equipment Qualification of Rockbestos cables 4) Improper documentation of Westinghouse containment penetration tests 5) Several procedural deficiencies Violations identified during the June 1986 Region V team inspection

.

. NRC concerns based on the above violations, including:

1) The effectiveness of licensee corrective actions for violations and identified deficiencies 2) A perceived difficulty in implementing plant procedures 3) NRC's perception that the licensee QA/QC organization has strained resources, is understaffed, has no detailed plan to review corrective maintenance and needs to be more aggressive in inspecting corrective maintenance Mr. J. B. Martin emphasized the need for effective attention to identified weaknesses and adherence to facility procedures. He also stressed the importance of active management involvement and followup to ensure that management's expectations are properly understood and implemented by Supply System personne Mr. A. Johnson then discussed the NRC enforcement polic Mr. J. Baker proposed and the NRC agreed to a meeting at an unspecified later date between the NRC and licensee technical experts on Equipment Qualification issue Mr. Baker also stated the Dow Corning Silicon Foam had been applied inside the Rosemount transmitters in March 1986 such that they met equipment qualification requirements. When queried by NRC representatives concerning the acceptability and testing of this method,

l requirement Messers C. . Powers, J. Baker and D. Feldman dis' cussed the licensee's plan for long term program upgrades'as outlined in the attachment.

j Mr. Mazur then 'gave the concluding remarks for the license Mr. J. B. Martin noted that the enforcement conference, as conducted, had also encompassed'the scope of matters to be discussed regarding the

"

latest Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) for WNP-2, and that a separate meeting would not be. convened for that purpose. He
