Dear Mr. Keiser:

SUBJECT:

INSPECTION NOS. 50-387/90-81; 50-388/90-81

This refers to your response to our Notice of Violation (NOV) associated

with the subject

inspection report which was undated, but notarized on March 28, 1991

This letter also

acknowledges receipt of your letter dated December

12, 1991, which updates your letter of

April 29, 1991.

The latter letter was in response

to the weaknesses

identified by the subject

inspection,

In reference to your letter dated December

12, 1991, you advised us of your revision to the

estimated completion dates for the I&C Planning Guideline and the I&C Procedure Writer'

Guide.

We find this change in the schedule which was originally provided in your

April 29, 1991, response to be acceptable.

In your letter responding to our NOV, you agreed with Violation Numbers

1, 2, 3, and 5,

and example "a" of Violation Number 4. The corrective actions willbe examined during a

future inspection of your licensed program.

You did not agree with example "b" of Violation Number 4 because it was not an indication

of inadequate work planning.

You stated that there was recognition of the leakage potential

of the butterfly valve HV-11024B1, since the leakage would be into a nonsafety system..Our

inspector was observing the installation work on the valves 110060, 110061, and 110062

when the flooding occurred.

During this work, he observed the worker response

to quickly

complete the flange make-up for the 110060 valve in order to stop the flooding. This

reaction resulted in damage to the valve's flange gasket, which was subsequently

replaced.

Our inspector also noted that the workers were unaware of the potential for flooding when an

emergency service water pump was started to perform testing for another work activity.

Mr. Harold W. Keiser

The planning process had provided no precautions on the work authorization or Equipment

Release Form (ERF).

The ERF merely stated, "Sign on System Permit 1-90-1033."

Based

upon the apparent lack of coordination between the two jobs, we concluded that'work

planning and instructions to the workers were inadequate,

and the intent of ANSI 18.7-

1972/ANS-3.2 was not met.

Thus, we conclude that Violation No. 4, example "b," should

stand.

Thank you for informing us of the corrective and preventive actions documented in your

letter.

Your cooperation with us is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Marvin.W. Hodges, Director
