Dear Mr. Davis:

We have received your letter of August 17, 1973 concerning certain activities at Oconee Nuclear Station that apparently were not conducted in full compliance with AEC requirements. Attached is our reply to the specific concerns identified within your letter. We have taken several actions to improve the effectiveness of the quality assurance program and administrative procedures at Oconee Nuclear Station.

Based on infor=ation obtained at the June 21, 1973 exit interview and our appraisal of the operating situation at Oconee Nuclear Station, activities that were strengthened were:

(1) Station Review Committee review of safety-related items (2). Classification of equipment and actions as " safety-related" (3)' Procedure for station modifications

'Ihe following changes have been made:

(1) The. Station Review Ccemittee membership has been expanded to include additional members.

This will have the effect of providing additional expertise within the committee membership and will provide additional members for discharging the committee's duties.

(2)'A number of the violations cited n the e e

1973 letter were the result o In certain cases a miscellane DUPLICATE DOCUMENT to testing of a safety-relate cm eviously entered yo e e it er e
