e RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION REPORTED IN INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-281/80-24 Attachment Page 1 A.
NRC CONCERNS:
As required by 10_ CFR 50 Appendix B, Criteria V activities affecting quality must be accomplished* in accordance with approved procedures.
Section 5.1.S of the VEPCO Nuclear Power Station Quality Assuranc~ Manual requires the Supervisor of Engineering Services, or ~is designee to review test results for completeness, to determine if the. established.
acceptance criteria _has been met and _to recommend final approval. by the Station Nuclear_ Safety and Operating Committee.
Contrary to the above, the. two auxiliary steani generator feed pumps, 2-FW-P-3A and 2-FW-P-3B, failed to meet the start time acceptance criteria as stated in Steps 6.2.2.3 and 6.4,3 of ST-78.
The discrepancy was not noted in the procedure nor was any change of acceptance criteria written.
The* outside recirculation spray pump, 2-RS-P-2B, failed to start due to an improperly racked-in circuit breaker. Problem resolution_
or required retesting was not identified.
This is an infraction.
VEPCO RESPONSE:
The infraction is correct as stated; however, even though the requirement for retesting was not written on the Special Test, corrective steps were being pursued.
Safety Committee review on June 11, 1980 was followed by retesting on June 13, and June 25.
