r-- e e RESPONSE TO* INFRACTION

• a LISTED IN IE INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-280/78-01, 50-281/78-01 NRC Comment Surry Power Station Technical Specification 6.6.2.a. states that reportable occurrences which require prompt notification be followed by a written report within two weeks.

Contrary to the above:

The licensee submitted the written followup report on November 15, 1977,

• for a valve. pit flooding incident which occurred -on October 11, 1Q77 (LER 77~021/

01-T-0) approximately 3 weeks in excess of the requirement.

Response

The infraction listed above is correct as stated in the inspection reports.

1. Corrective steps which have been taken and results achieved.

A review of the functions of the operations.support staff at the corporate offices has been completed. It has been determined that one individual should be dedicated to follow up all correspondence required for the office of Inspection and Enforcement. An individual has been identified to fill this position. We believe that this will minL~ize the possibility of similar violations in the future.

2. Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further non-compliance.

We believe that the.above listed corrective steps will be sufficient.

3. Date when full compliance will be-achieved.

Full compliance has been achieved in that the subject LER has been sub-mitted to NRC Region II.
