Dear Mr. Dugger:

i Violation dated May 5,1997. We have reviewed your reply and determined that your

letter specified that your interim corrective action had restored compliance to requirements.  ;

However, you did not provide a date, as required by 10 CFR 2.201(a)(3), by which full  !

.

compliance will be achieved. As discussed with Mr. Early Ewing of your staff, we understand that a supplemental response will be forthcoming to specify the required j completion dates.

Sincerely, L ^

. meet that criterion. LER 97-012-01 adequately addresses violation 9704-01. LER 97-010-00 adequately addresses violation 9704-02 and LER 97-001-00 adequately

.

L flow rate was adjusted to be within Technical Specification range and the  !

! surveillance test was re-performed. Detailed corrective actions are included in LER l - 97-010-00.

l The third violation, 9704-06, concerns inadequate 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations which

resulted in crediting an EFW Flow Control Valve for containment isolation, without j having position indication as required by RG 1.97. An instance was identified which

exceeded the allowed outage time of TS 3.3.3.6 " Accident Mooitoring

{ Instrumentation", resulting in a violation of the TS. The Technical Requirements i~ Manual and the Final Safety Analysis Report were revised to address this issue.
