Metropolitan Edison Company

Parsippany, New Jersey 07054
Gentlemen:
Subject:
Combined Inspection 50-289/79-16 and 50-320/79-20
This refers to your letter dated October 8, 1979, in response to our letter
dated September 7, 1979.
Thank you for informing us of the corrective and preventive actions documented
in your letter.
With regard to your response to Deficiency E, our position
continues to be that the biennial review of procedures for Unit 2 should have
commenced at the time of commercial operation and that all Unit 2 procedures
should have been incorporated into the schedule so that those which were due
for review at that time were reviewed promptly.
Your Administrative Procedure
AP-1001 does not conflict with this, and ANSI N18.7-1976, to which you are
committed, states that the review is to be done "no less frequently than every
two years." Your interpretation would permit a procedure which had not been
reviewed for two years at the time of commercial operation to exist for as
much as an additional two years without being reviewed.
Additionally, you responded that station procedures applicable to both units
are being reviewed by the station staff as part of the Unit 1 "2 year review
program," and that this satisfies the Unit 2 "2 year review program" requirement
also. This would not be true for common procedures which were revised as a
result of the review unless the revised procedure was approved by the Unit 2
PORC.
This apparently is not a feature of your Unit 1 "2 year review program,"
since our inspector made specific inquiry in this area and your staff could
not produce any documentation or procedure to the contrary.
Your actions will be examined during a subsequent inspection of your licensed
program including those applicable to the Recovery Mode.
