B. Davis to C. Reed
Dear Mr. Keppler:
Reference (a) transmitted an inspection report regarding an inspection conducted on May 27-29, 1980 by Dr. M. J. Destmann of your office of activities at Zion Station.
That report identified four apparent items of noncompliance with NRC requirements.
As indicated in Reference (a), action had been taken to correct one item of noncompliance (Item 1) and to prevent recurrence.
Thus, no reply to that item of noncompliance is required.
Attachment A to this letter contains Commonwealth Edison Company's response to the other items of noncompliance.
Please address any additional questions that you might have to this office.
Very truly yours, D. L. Pe ples Director f

50-304 ATTACHMENT A Item 2.
-SectionL 6.2. A.7 of Appendix A, Technical Specifications, requires that detailed written procedures including applicable checkoff lists covering surveillance and testing requirement shall be prepared, approved and adhered to.
a.
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to standardize the sodium hydroxide solution used in the boric acid titration on two occasions (March 6 and May 23, 1980) in accordance with chemical procedure ZCP-23.
(Infraction) b.
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to conduct the required analysis of certain conductivity of the reactor and secondary coolant on seven occasions during April and May 1980, in accordance with ZCP-213.
(Infraction) c.
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to provide documentaion that the required gas bottle surveillance had been conducted for January and February 1980, ira accordance with ZCP-216.
(Deficiency)
Corrective Action Taken and The Results Achieved:
a)
This non-compliance resulted from a misunderstanding of the chemfcal procedure, ZCP-23.
This. procedure has now been revised to require the sodium hydroxide standardization only for those shifts when a boron analysis is done.
Previously the procedure was not accurate in inferring that a standardization was required even though a boron analysis was not being done.
b)
The surveillances were missed.
Surveillance requirements are now monitored more closely by the Laboratory Foreman and checked by a clerk to asertain that they have been conducted.
c)
.The required documentation for this surveillance cannot be located., although the surveillance was conducted.
The reco'1 retention procedure has been modified to improve record keeping controls.
Corrective Action To Be Taken To Avoid Further Noncompliance:
a)
Same as indicated above under corrective action taken.
i t)
Same as indicated above under corrective action taken.
y b
c)
The-subject procedure is being eliminated since bottle surveillance is conducted by other means.
