SUBJECT:

RESPONSE TO NON COMPLIANCE ITEM FOR DPR-25 (DRESDEN UNIT 3)-,

References:

(1) Letter to Mr. Byron Lee, Jr. from Boyce H. Grf.er, dated 6/19/72.

(2) Letter to Peter A. Morris from W. P.- Worden, dated 4/5/72.

Dear Mr. Grier:

In answer to your request for information regarding the non compliance item in Reference (1), the following is presented.'

At the time of the incident, immediate action was taken to correct the situation as specified in Reference (2).

Following the incident, both doors were locked, except during authorized use.

At the time of your inspection, on May 17, 1972, the rail-road lock doors were unlocked because a work crew had been using the lock to transport material into the reactor building, and had not relocked it while on a coffee break.

The Shift Engineer had authorized unlocking the doors.

The inner and outer doors will continue to be kept locked except during authorized use.

An operating procedure was issued detailing the use of the railroad lock doors, including authorization required, on June 9, 1972.

We feel that the step taken above will minimize the possibility of further occurrences.
