APPENDIX A COMMENTS
Response
to A. 1:
(Page
2 of 21)
Under "Corrective Action to be Taken" it is stated that
no further corrective action is planned.
Can
we assume
that the actions
discussed
in Appendix
C are intended to
correct the root cause of this violation?
Response
to A.2:
(Page
3 of 21)
Under "Corrective Action Taken" your discussion
does
not
address
those currents
which were too high for the trip
times
documented
in the surveillance tests,
e. g., valve
RRC-V-16A.
Response
to B:
(Page
4 of 21)
The corrective action taken
does not describe
any action
to check for similar problems
on other tanks at the site,
nor is the root cause
addressed,
e. g., the
need for
effective independent
design
review.
Response
to C.2:
(Page
8 of 21)
Same
comment
as to A.l.
Response
to C.3:
(Page
10 of 21)
Your response
states
that the present installation of two
electrical terminations is acceptable
for drain lines.
This appears
contrary to the manufacturer's
(Raychem)
recommendation
that drain line terminations
should
be
covered with Heat Shrinkable
Tubing (HST).
Therefore,
we
request that you provide additional clarification
supporting your position that these drain lines are
acceptable
as currently installed.
Also, include
an
explanation
addressing
how circuit integrity is
maintained if the exposed wire is not properly covered
with HST.
Response
to C.4:
(Page ll of 21)
Your discussion
under "Corrective Steps
Taken"
does not
recognize
the
need for enhanced sensitivity by plant
operators
and supervision to improper plant
modifications.
This is more than
a housekeeping
issue.
