Attachment to NRC-820 i,

REPLY TO A NOTICE OF VIOLATION NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-400/93-03 Re orted Violation:

10 CFR 50.54(q) states that a licensee authorized to possess and operate a

nuclear power reactor shall follow and maintain in effect an emergency plan which meets the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50.

10 CFR 50.47(b)(8) requires that adequate emergency facilities and equipment to support the emergency response are provided and maintained.

Section 3.1 of the Shearon Harris Emergency

Plan, which implements 10 CFR 50.47(b)(8), states that adequate emergency facilities, communication, and equipment to support emergency response are provided and maintained.

Section 3.5.3.b of the Shearon Harris Emergency Plan identi'fies ERFIS consoles, capable of displaying plant data, Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS),

and Radiation Monitoring System (RMS),

as Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) equipment to be maintained.

Contrary to the above, when an operational demonstration was requested by the inspector, EOF ERFIS terminals 1,

2, and 3 did not operate.

Corrective Ste s Taken and Results Achieved:

The maintenance work request to repair the faulty switch panel which was the component that prevented the EOF ERFIS terminals from operating at the time of the inspection was completed on February 6,

1993.

Corrective Ste s Taken to Avoid Further Violations:

A modification to replace the current ERFIS switching system between the EOF terminals and the ERFIS computers with, a more reliable system has been

'ccelerated from a 1996 schedule to 1993.

Until this modification is completed, the EOF ERFIS terminals are being checked each work day to verify proper operation.

Improvements in the productivity of the ERFIS computer maintenance staff and overall system reliability through hardware upgrades (i.e.

reduced instruction set computer (RISC) processors and new disc drives) has contributed to a

reduction in the number of outstanding ERFIS related work requests.

In addition, management has emphasized to the computer maintenance staff the importance of maintaining reliable service to the EOF ERFIS terminals.

Date When Full Com liance Will Be Achieved:

Replacement of the ERFIS switching system between the EOF terminals and ERFIS computers as described above is scheduled for completion by December 31, 1993.
