Mr. James P. O'Reilly Gentlemen:
The Georgia Power Company hereby submits the following in response to Mr. C. E. Murphy's letter dated April 21, 1980, concerning I&E Report 80-13 item numbers 366/80-13-01 and 366/80-13-02.
Response to Item 366/80-13-01 The NRC inspector reviewed the inservice inspection (ISI) program for the March-April 1980 Unit 2 maintenance / surveillance outage to determine whether the program had been approved by Georgia Power as required by Hatch procedure HNP-904, " Inservice Inspection Program". Discussion with responsible Georgia Power personnel revealed that the ISI project plan had been reviewed and the examination agency, Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), had been given permission to start work.
Formal approval by Georgia Power of the ISI project plan had simply been overlooked.
Upon being notified of the discrepancy by the NRC inspector, the respon-sible Georgia Power personnel took immediate steps to rectify the situation. The ISI project plan and comments regarding the plan's accuracy and completeness were submitted to the Hatch Plant Review Board for their review and approval. The plan was subsequently approved and a letter, PM-80-247 dated March 19, 1980, was forwarded to the SwRI Hatch Project Manager acknowledging that the project plan had been reviewed and found acceptable.
No further corrective action will or needs to be taken as a result of this discrepancy. This was strictly an oversight in that procedural requirements failed to be met.
Programmatic changes would not prevent a recurrence.
Response to Item 366/80-13-02 During his inspection of Maintenance Welding activities during the Unit 2 maintenance / surveillance outage, the NRC inspector reviewed the quali-fication records of the Butler Services' contract Quality Control (QC) personnel hired for additional QC coverage during the outage.

' Georgia Power d United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of Inspection and Enforcement May 9, 1980 Page Two noted that the contract QC personnel had not been certified by Georgia Power Company as required by Hatch procedure HNP-823 for inspection activities or American Society for Non-destructive Testing standard SNT-TC-1A for non-destructive testing activities.
Upon being notified of this discrepancy, the QC supervisor took immediate steps to rectify the situation. All Butler Services personnel perform-i ing inspections were certified in accordance with HNP-823 and the two Butler Services personnel who performed NDE were qualified in accordance with HNP-6918 for liquid penetrant examination.
1 The NRC inspector's finding was primarily a paperwork problem. All Butler Services personnel records had been reviewed for compliance with inspection requirements as required by ANSI N45-2.6 and the required time and experience for NDE inspections as required by SNT-TC-1A.
The problem was that plant personnel failed to certify the Butler Services personnel for use of the plant's procedures.
No further corrective action will or needs to be taken as a result of l
the finding. However, more attention will be given by the responsible personnel in order to prevent such recurrences. This was strictly an oversight and programmatic changes would not prevent a recurrence.
If you have any questions or comments in this regard, please contact my office.
