Duke Power Company ATTN: Mr. H. B. Tucker, Vice President Nuclear Production Department 422 South Church Street Charlotte, NC 28242 Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
REPORT NOS. 50-369/88-13 AND 50-370/88-13 Thank you for your response of July, 8, 1988, to our Notice of Violation issued on June 9,1988, concerning activities conductea at your McG' ire facility.
We have evaluated your response and found that it meets the requirements of 10 CFR 2.201.
We will examine the implementation of your corrective actions during future inspections.
While we accept your response, there are some additional comments we would like to make concerning the calibration of stopwatches, which we considered a minor part of the violation.
There is no question that in most instances human error will greatly exceed any inaccuracy produced by a stopwatch.
However, it is our understanding that as stopwatch batteries near depletion inaccuracy may become much larger than you report.
It is for this reason that our citation referred to your failure to have the watches checked or maintained to preclude battery depletion rather than simply questioning the lack of any calibration.
Periodic calibration is an acceptable means of assuring. stopwatches are adequately checked and maintained.
We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely, 8808240177 880816'
