RESPONSE TO VIOLATIO~S LISTED IN IE INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-280/78-22 AND _50-281/78-22 A. NRC CO~*[MENT:
Technicnl Specification 6.4.D requires that detailed written procedures provided for normal unit startup, operation, and shutdown shall be fo]lowed.
Contrary to the above, Surry 2 facility procedures were not followed on A?ril 8, 1978, in that:
- 1.
The initial reactor startup on Control Bank 'C' below the Technical Specifications 3.12.A minimum insertion limits, was r.ot logged nor was the reason for the event and corrective actions ta~en entered in the operator's or Shift Supervisor's log as
-::-2cai.::::-ed by Section 29.1 of Administrative Procedure 29.
- 2.
A c~:culation of the estimated critical position and documen-tatic~ of the actual critical condition was not completed on 0?-lC for one of the three reactor startups made on April 8, 1978 cs required by Operating Procedure 1.4.

T':-.= it=~ ~s correct as stated.
Although an ECP (OP-lC) had been cal-c~~a:~~ ~o:- the initial approach to criticality of Surry 2 on April 8th, t~e ~:? ~as never completed and the event was never logged in-the Control
?.::-::,:J.,>:,-:::-~:o-::-'s or the Shift Supervisor's logs.
It should be noted t~2: es~i=ated critical condition calculations were made for the subsequent a??:-~ac~es to criticality, however, a separate OP-lC was not filled ot1t as :-e~ui.:-ed.
Instead, corrections were made by line out on the earlier 0?-~C.
- 1.
Correction steps which have been taken and results achieved:
- 2.
- 3.
The F:CP procedure, OP-lC, w;:is changed on Aug. 23rd to provide a step for review and signatures immediately after calculo.tion nnd prior to completion of the procedure.
