DPR-71 AND DPR-62 DOCKET NOS. 50-325 AND 50-324 RESPONSE TO IhTRACTIONS OF NRC REQUIREMENTS
Dear Mr. O'Reilly:
In your letter of February 15, 1979, you forwarded a copy of IE Inspection Reports 50-324/79-4 and 50-325/H-3 for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant Unit Nos. I and 2.
We have reviewed this report and find that it does not contain any information of a proprietary nature.
The report identified two items that appear ta deviate from requirements to the NRC.
The items and Carolina Power & Light Company's response to them are addressed in the following text:
Infraction As required by Technical Specifications 6.5.1.3.A, the Plant Nuclear Safety Committee (PNSC) is responsible for reviewing the written procedures required by Specification
- 6. 8.
Technical Specification 6.8.1.a requires that the applicable procedures of Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33 1972 shall be established.
" Appendix "A," Section H.2.b(5) lists surveillance test procedures for the standby gas treatment system tests including filter tests.
Contrary to the above, the PNSC did not review the contractor's procedure for performing the surveillance tests of the standby gas treatment system filters and absorbers prior to the performance of the tests in October,1978.
