NOTICE OF VIOLATION

ITEM (446/8511-V-03)

SUPPLEMENTAL REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

As a result of review made during followup inspection of your corrective

actions, we find that a clarification is required relative to your response to

Item D in the Notice of Violation.

Specifically, the stated reason for the

violation correctly indicated that TUGCo Nuclear Engineering (TNE) Procedure

TNE-AD-4 was not followed concerning maintenance of duplicate copies of

engineering documents. The response does not address or consider, however,

that the NRC inspector was informed by an engineering supervisor during the

inspection that, due to organizational changes, Procedure CP-EI-18.0-4,

Revision 0, had been deleted and shipment was made without a procedure being

in effect.

In that this information is believed to have a bearing on the

scope of required steps to avoid recurrence (i.e., was training given to

engineering personnel concerning procedures in existence in the organization

to which they transferred?)...

SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO ITEM D

In our previous response, we noted the creation of an engineering instruction,

TNE-AD-4-6, to specifically control the transmittal and duplicate retention of

pipe support calculations and measures to assure accountability.

These

actions have been completed. We have verified that the training of the

personnel who implemented TNE-AD-4-6 was conducted and covered the period of

implementation of the procedure.

We have verified that the training program of the SWEC pipe support

organization includes newly transferred employees.

In examining the

circumstances surrounding the statement by the engineering supervisor

interviewed by the NRC inspector, we have concluded the supervisor was not

trained in the requirements of TNE-AD-4 until December 1985 due to the period

of transition.

Subsequent corrective measures involving the specific

supervisor are no longer appropriate as the individual is no longer active

within the engineering organization.
