Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19101 Gentlemen:-
Subject: Combined Inspection 50-277/82-06; 50-278/82-06 i
This refers to your May 19, 1982 reply to our April 22,1082 letter.
'
!
Thank you for infoming us of your corrective and preventive actions. Those ac-tions will be examined during future inspections.
As you requested, we have re-examined Violation A.3, a citation for not adequately I
safeguarding against radiation exposure to workers. We recognize that there was I
an administrative control over reactor water level and that the operators knew how to maintain that level. Your evaluation that the citation is based on the reactor i
operator not knowing why he was to maintain level as specified is correct. This
!
is an essential aspect of safe plant operation and personnel radiation protection -
knowing not only what to do under normal conditions, but what to do if unusual cir-
.
'
cumstances develop. Because the operator did not know about the valve work, he was not in a position to notify the workers of the potential contaminated and ther--
mally het water source if level control difficulty developed. Because this speci-fic instance did not have a high likelihood of a significant radiological conse-quence, we have reclassified the Violation at Severity Level V.
In general, how-ever, we remain concerned about assurance that operators know about any unusual i
conditions and evolutions and are knowledgeable about the potential consequences.
We will emphasize this area during future inspections.
We have also re-examined Violation A.1, a citation for failure to perform the ve-i locity meter calibration for two hydraulic snubbers. Your information indicated
'
that there was a valid calibration check of the indicator. That infomation has beer verified by our resident inspectors. Therefore, we have downgraded the Vio-1ation to Severity Level V.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely, Original signea ay
