Thank you for your response

of July 14,

1994,

concerning activities conducted

at your Harris

facility.

We have evaluated

your response

and found that it meets the

requirements

of 10 CFR 2.201.

In your response,

you denied that you were in violation of 10 CFR 50,

Appendix 8, Criterion XVI which requires,

in part, that conditions

adverse

to

~

~

~

~

~

quality are properly identified and corrected,

as described

in Violation B of

the subject Notice of Violation.

After careful consideration of the bases for your denial of the violation,

we

have concluded, for the reasons

presented

in the enclosure to the letter, that

Violation B,

as stated

in the Notice of Violation did not occur.

Accordingly,

we will adjust our records to reflect that

no violation of regulatory

.

requirements

We will examine the implementation of your action to correct the violation

stated

We appreciate

your cooperation

in this matter.

Sincerely,

On June

17,

1994,

a Notice of Violation (Notice) was issued for a potential

violation identified during

a routine

NRC inspection.

Carolina

Power

and

Light Company

(CP&L) responded

to the Notice on July 14,

1994.

CP&L denied

that they were in violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI which

requires,

in part, that conditions

adverse to quality are promptly identified

and corrected.

Restatement

of Violation

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI requires that measures

shall

be

established

to assure

conditions

adverse to quality, such

as failures,

malfunctions, deficiencies,

deviations

and non-conformance

are properly

identified and corrected.

The licensee's

Corporate guality Assurance

Manual, Section

12, requires that

significant conditions

adverse

to quality be identified and corrected.

Contrary to the above,

on January

22,

1994,

an emergency

plan implementing

procedure

which contained

a condition adverse

to quality regarding the

improper designation of a deleted

watchstanding

as

a replacement for the shift

supervisor

when acting

as the site emergency coordinator

was not promptly

corrected.

Summar

of Licensee's

Res

onse

The licensee

stated

in their response

that the roving

SCO position

had not

been deleted

and therefore

a condition adverse to quality in the emergency

plan implementing procedure

did not exist.

Operating

procedures

continued to

reference

the roving

SCO watch station which would be manned

when sufficient

personnel

were available.

NRC Evaluation

The adverse

condition report

(ACFR-94-348) stated that shift manning levels

may not support

emergency

plan requirements.

The

ACFR stated that in some

instances

senior reactor operator positions of SSD and roving

SCO were not

manned.

These

personnel

were listed

as potential

replacements

for the

SEC if

the

NSS were to become

incapacitated.

In all situations

a qualified

SRO

(control

room SCO) would have

been available to replace

the

NSS.

Based

upon

previous discussions

with licensee

management,

the roving

SCO position

had not

been routinely manned for the previous

two years

and was not intended to be

manned

in the future.

The inspectors

therefore

considered

the emergency

procedure to be deficient

as non-existent

personnel

were listed to replace the

SEC in the case of incapacitation.

The

ACFR was voided based

upon

a statement

from the operations

manager that shift staffing adequately

supported

the

emergency

plan.

The deficient condition was not corrected

and therefore

a

violation was issued.

Enclosure

The licensee

has provided

new information which indicates that the roving

SCO

position

was never intended to be deleted.

Discussions

with senior licensee

management

supported this statement

as they indicated that the roving

SCO

position

may be utilized in the future as manpower resources

permit.

The

inspectors

noted that in Hay, June,

and July 1994,

the roving

SCO position was

manned

as shift staffing levels were supplemented

with newly licensed

SROs.

Since the roving

SCO watch station

was

an actual position listed in the

licensee's

operating

procedures

and licensee

management

intended to use this

position in the future

as

manpower resources

permitted,

the staff concludes

that

a procedural

deficiency did not exist.

NRC Conclusion

For the

above stated

reasons,

the

NRC staff concluded that

a violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix 6, Criterion XVI did not occur.
