VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY SURRY POWER STATION UNITS 1 & 2 CLARIFICATION OF COMMITMENT Serial No.

90-329A 50-280 50-281 DPR-32 DPR-37 NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-280/90-07 AND

  • 50-281 /90-07 It has been called to our attention that a discrepancy exists between a written

_response provided to your inspection team and the documentation of that response in Inspection Report Nos. 50-280/90-07 and 50-281/90-07 dated May 22, 1990. The discrepancy concerns temporary *action taken to correct a weakness identified by your

  • inspection team in our electrical equipment post-maintenance testing program. Our response, dated March 30, 1990, read "The process will be formalized by a revision to SUADM-M-27 which will require system engineering review of, electrical post-maintenance testing for concurrence and to specify any additions if required." System engineering review of the assigned testing was deemed necessary due to the limited guidance provided by SUADM-M-27 for specifying electrical post-maintenance testing for safety-related components. Inspection Report 90-07, however, further identifies that "qualified electrical system engineers" will specify post-maintenance testing in these areas.

In accordance with our March 30, 1990 response, a procedure change to SUADM-M-27 was approved and implemented to satisfy this commitment. The procedure change did not require ".qualified electrical system engineers" specify post-maintenance testing* as stated in the referenced inspection report. The procedure change only required that system engineering review the specified testing and make additions as required.

i I.

We have subsequently determined that a more efficient and consistent temporary method for specifying post-maintenance test requirements could be implemented. A matrix has been developed which provides guidance for specifying safety-related electrical post-maintenance testing. The matrix has beer:i incorporated into SUADM-.

M-27 for use by the Planning Department and the Electrical Maintenance Group.

Implementation of the test matrix to determine post-maintenance test requirements supersedes our March 30, 1990 commitment for system engineering review.

If you have any further questions, please contact us.

Very trul
