50-277/78-25 50-278/78-30 Mr. Eldon J.
Brunner, Chief Reactor Operations & Nuclear Support Branch U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region I 631 Park Avenue King of Prussia, PA 19406
Dear Mr. Brunner:
Your letter of November 14, 1978, forwarded combined Inspection Report 50-277/78-25 and 50-278/78-30.
Appendix A to your letter lists one activity 'hich did not appear to be in conformance. tith Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements.
This item is an Infraction and is listed below with our response.
A.
Techuical Specification 6.5.2.8, states in part,
" Audits of facility activities shall be performed under the cognizance of the O&SR (Operation and Safety Review) Committee.
These audits shall encomp ass:
...c)
The results of all actions taken to correct deficiencies occurring in facility equipment, structures, systems, or method of operation that af ect nuclear safety at least once per six months 7901020078'
m
- ..a.
Mr. Elden J. Brunnor Page 2 Contrary to the above, the audits performed by the O&SR Committee during 1976-1973 did not constitute performance of the specified audit at least once per six months in that:
The interval between the last two performances of each audit was between nine and twelve months; and, Seven of the eigh t audits most re c e n t ly performed were last completed during the period November 16, 1977 - Jaauary 4,
1973.
Resoonse The Operations and Safety Revieu (0&SR) Committee has always been aware of the auditing requirement of Technical Specification 6 5 2.8.c and has been fulfilling it by reviewing actions taken to correct deficiencies occurring in f acility equipment, s tru ctu re s, systems, or method of operation that affects nuclear saf ety du ring each regular meeting.
The regular meetings are held no less frequently chan once per six months.
Furthermore, the Operation and Safety Review Committee is presently conducting audits as delineated by the Nuclear Audit Plan.
These audits include " actions taken to correct deficiencias...".
In order to inprove availability of the records of these audits, however, the Nuclear Audit Plan has been amended to include a separate audit specifically covering " actions taken to correct deficiencies." This audit will be performed at least once per six months.
The Quality Assurance Division has been assigned this responsibility, under the cognizance of the O&SR Committee, with their firs t audic scheduled for coupletion by January 31, 1979.
Very truly yours,
