De'r Mr. O'Railly:
a We offer the following in response to the apparent Item of Non-I compliance in the referenced Inspection Report.
" Technical Specification a.1.3.3.a.1 requires that thermal power be reduced to a maximum-of 60% of rated power, within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />, when,a reed switch position indicator chan-nel is operable. ~
Contrary to the above, on June 29, 1977, during operation of the facility in mode 1 thermal power was not reduced belov,
60L for approximately 9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br /> when the rod 3 group 6 indica,-
tor channel was inoperable."
This occurrence was reported in our Licensee Event Report #LER 77-62.
As notet'. in that report, the cause of the violation was failure to anticipate the potential for equipment problems which retard power reduction to less than 60% in the requirad 8 houi time frame.
Initia1' corrective steps which were taken included verbally reprimanding the responsible individual and explaining the importance of adherence to the letter and intent of Technical Specifications."
1.s corrective action to ' avoid further noncompliances, a written memor-
~
andum was distributed to'all supervisors, requiring a review of the Licensee Event Report, and an order to heed Technical Specification requirements as to time frame limits more conservatively; and to take t
s necessary steps to insure these time limits are met. -
