Subject:

This refers to your letter dated December 31, 1979, in response to our letter

dated December 5,1979.

As the result of a telephone conversation on January 10, 1980 between Mr. T.

Stetka of this office and Mr. W. Conway of your staff, it is our understanding

that the following corrective and preventative actions will be accomplished.

(1)

Operations personnel shall be re-instructed in the necessity and importance

of adhering to the Technical Specification requirements relative to alter-

nate testing of systems and voluntary entry into a degraded mode of operation.

(2)

This re-instruction will emphasize that the sampling requirement, that is

unique with the Residual Heat Removal Service Water (RHRSW) system, shall

be completed and the alternate system testing begun prior to removing a

componert from service.

(3)

This re-instruction will be completed by January 16, 1980.

If our understanding is incorrect, please contact us promptly.

These actions will be examined during a subsequent inspection.

Your cooperation

with us is appreciated.

Sincerely,
