Eldon J. Brunner, Chief 2 -

3-19-80 Contrary to the above, data recorded for the cali-bration of TE-421 A/B No. 12 Reactor Coolant Loop Delta T/Tavg.

Protection Channel II, performed August 30, 1979, data for two output monitor points required to be at 3.000 vo*lts +20 millivolts were recorded as 3.988 and 3.989 volts-respectively; and data recorded for channel functional test of lPT-505 First Stage Turbine Impulse-Pressure - Channel I, performed April 30, 1979, data recorded for lBS-512 Steam Flow greater than reference flow to Safety Injection required to be at 3.169 volts +32, -22 millivolts was recorded as 2.178 volts.

Both completed procedures, which contained the above data, were reviewed and signed by a supervisor; and, in addition, one data sheet was stamped and verified as correct by a quality control inspector.

The errors were not observed nor was corrective action taken as result of the supervisory and quality control reviews.

Reply to deficiency:

1.

The cause was a personnel error on the part of the.Per-formance Supervisor and *QC Inspector. * *

2.

To correct the situation, the two procedures in question were completed again.

The results indicate that the data had been improperly recorded by the technician, during the tests in question, ratJ;ier than being out of specification~

3.

To prevent future items of noncompliance, all Performance-

  • :i:&c Supervisors and QA staff members have been reinstructed as to the importance of an accurate data review, especially if the review is conducted at the completion of a procedure.
4.

We are riow in compliance.

Sincerely, CC NRC Office*of Inspection and Enforcement Division of Reactor Operations Inspection Washington, DC 20555 Mr. Boyce H. Grier, Director*
