RESPONSE TO VIOLATION NUMBER 416/80-29-01

" CONTROL OF TEMPORARY ALTERATIONS"

1.

Admission Or Denial Of The Alleged Violation

Mississippi Power & Light admits that the report of the violation was

correct as stated.

2.

The Reason For The Violation

The responsible Checkout and Turnover Organization (CTO) Engineer

misinterpreted the CTO Manual requirements and failed to tag or log the

temporary modification after completing the system flush procedure.

Bechtel CTO Manual, Chapter 4, Section 11, para 4.2.1, states temporary

modification tagging is not required if modification is perforaed as part

of a flushing procedure.

CTOM, Chapter 5, Section 9, para 8.1, states

system to be restored after flush to the condition required by current

operating conditions. A differential pressure gauge was installed across

temporary suction strainer per requirements of flush procedure and was

left installed in the system at the request of Start-up Test Supervisor to

be used in subsequent test. At this point, the CTO Engineer

misinterpreted the CTO Manual requirements and failed to tag or log the

temporary modification af ter completing the system flush procedure.

3.

Corrective Steps Taken And Results Achieved

No other temporary tag log errors were noted on this system and the

subject modification has been corrected.

4.

Corrective Steps Taken To Avoid Further Noncompliance

The responsible Engineer has been instructed on the correct interpretation

of the CTO Manual.

5.

Date To Achieve Full Compliance

Full compliance was achieved by February 12, 1981.
