0 Metropolitan Edison Company Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Docket No. 50-289 License No. DPR-50 Inspection No. 77-05 Apparent Violation A Unit 1 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI states in part, " Measures shall be estab-3 lished to assure that conditions adurseto quality.... are pro =ptly identified and correeded".

Section 6.7 states in part: "The Station Superintendent is directly responsible for.... insuring that conditions adverse to quality, when identified, are corrected for all activities involving operations, =aintenance, repair, refuel-ing, testing, and site engineering."

Contrary to the above, the corrective action delineated in Metropolitan Edison Company response letters to NRC:I Enforcement Correspondence dated May 28, 1976 (Inspection No. 76-11) and August 27, 1976 (Inspection No. 76-19) had not been co=pleted as of February 25, 1977 Specifically, for Inspection No. 76-11, administrative procedures vert to specify the review frequency for operational procedures and the mechanis=s to insure these reviews were to b:s in effect by November 24, 1976, and for Inspection No. 76-19, all Maintenanc a Department personnel whose work could involve lifting leads or placing ju=pers were to

be trained or retrained in the requirements and responsibilities imposed by Ac=inistrative Procedure 1013 by November 1,1976.
