Dear Mr. O'Reilly:

We offer the following supplemental information to the Item of Non-

compliance noted in the referenced inspection report:

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

As required by Technical Specification 6.8.3, temporary

changes to procedures may be made provided the intent of

the original procedure is not altered.

Contrary to the above, on March 26, 1980, a temporary change

to Operating Procedure 414, Revision 5, Nitrogen and Hydrogen

System, was used to supply helium to the "B" Steam Generator

which was not in the original intent of the procedure.

The attached memorandum, distributed to all plant personnel on 8 May 1980,

,

defines the purpose and the intent for making temporary changes to plant

j

procedures.

It is felt that this memorandum adequately addresses the generic corrective

action concern to preclude a recurrence of this event.

Should there be any questions, please contact us.

Very truly yours,

FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION

O

A recent inspection by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission resulted in

,

an infraction regarding a violation of our Technical Specification in

reference to temporary chat.e:s to plant procedures.

The purpose of this memorandum is to re-emphasize the intent of the

temporary procedure change process.

Administrative Instruccion AI-400

states that the temporary changes to procedures are tempotary, minor

changes which do not change the intent of the original procedure.

The

same paragraph goes on to define a change of intent as any change which

will affect the purpose, aim, or design of the procedure.

Situations

or circumstances falling within these guidelines may include, but are not

limited to: adding or excluding major parts or components affected by the

procedure, changing the methodology used in the procedure, or changing

the acceptance criteria of the procedure.

It is of the utmost importance that all plant personnel fully understand

and auhere to this procedure as well as all plant procedures.

Any conflict

or doubt arising, concerning the inter,c of a procedure, should be brought

to the attention of the supervisor responsible for the content procedure

for resolution.
