Region II - Suite 3100 RII: JPO 101 Marietta Street, NW 50-321/50-366 Atlanta, Georgia 30303 I&E Inspection Report 80-31 ATTENTION:
Mr. James P. O'Reilly Gentlemen:
f The following information is submitted in response to Inspection Report 50-321/80-31 and 50-366/80-31 concerning 2 infractions.
INFRACTION A.
As required by Tech Specs 6.8.1, procedures controlling the operation of safety related systems are required to be implemented.
F "..n t procedure HNP-1-1118, RHR - Standby Condition, requires minimum flow manual isolation valves to be open.
Contrary to the above, and as reported by the licensee, minimum flow manual isolation valves were found improperly shut on "B" and "D" RHR pumps on June 22, 1980.
This is a repeat infraction. A similar item was brought to your attention in our letter dated July 25, 1980.
RESPONSE
Upon discovery, the valves were returned to the locked open position.
A standing order was issued to tag by clearance any valves that must be changed from normal position. Proper valve lineup for the major flow paths and minimum flows of all the ECCS systems was verified on both Units 1 and 2.
The ECCS procedures have been reviewed to reflect the standing order.
The procedures were in effect as of September 1, 1980.

INFRACTION (366/80-31-01)
B.
As required by 10CFR50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, and FSAR Section 17.2.2.2 Item 1, and implemented by Hatch Quality Assurance Manual, Section 16, Paragraph 16.1, measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected.
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to correct seismic deficiencies in safety related RHR service water and plant service water systems identified by the AE on January 2, 1979, until February i
This is an infraction.
RESPONSE
Several steps have been taken to improve our responsiveness to similar situations:
1.
Notifications of deficiencies by Architect-Engineers have been made more explicit as to the consequences of a deficiency.
This aids the plant staff in evaluating the deficiency for significance, reportability, and urgency.
2.
All notifications are now accompanieu by a proposed design change request (PDCR).
The PDCR carries a unique number which simplifies tracking. The subject of the infraction was not handled by a PDCR.
3.
As a result of recent problems, the plant staff is now more l
aware of the significance af seismic concerns.
4.
Through substantial increases in the size of the onsite engineering staff and creation of a dedicated Plant Hatch staff at Southern Company Services, individual workloads have been reduced.
This should reduce the possibility of important items being missed or lost for a significant time period.
We believe these steps will adequately prevent future recurrences of this problem.
If you desire additional information, please coatact this office.
Sincerely, h
W. A. Widner ff REB /mt 3
