Dear Mr. Ymuth:
Ily a letter dated May 21, 1973, to Mr. F. E. Yn esi, Mr. R. C.
Youngdahl transmitted internal correspondence which addressed areas of apparent noncompliance with AEC requirements identified during the August 1972 inspection at the Big Rock Point Plant. A misunder standing caused an incorrect reporting of the corrective action taken by our opernting personnel.
Specifically, the attacment to Mr. Youngdahl's Mr.y 21, 1973 letter reported the corrective actPn taken for Item 6.b as:
" Testing cf automatic controls and instrumentation associated with these valves has been performed as required by the Technical Specifications (except Main Steam Drain Valvo M0-7065 which is closed and not used). This testing has been perfomed and recorded on each reactor start-up (Reactor Protection Check Sheet C-3).
Reactor start-ups have historically oe-curred at approximately quarterly or more frequent intervals. Again, the difficulty apparently arises in that the check sheet does not provide enough detail. The check sheet did not specify the indi-vidual valve actuation circuits, but rather a general category for these valves. The check sheet has been revised to require specific entries for each individual valve. "
The corrective action taken was actually:
Testing of automatic controls and instrumentation associated with these valves has been perforned as' required by the Technical Specifications (except Main Steam Drain Valve MO-7065 which is closed and f/0//00 N
k.
Mr. D. F. Ksuth, Dir:ctor 2
Dock:t 50-155, LicIn33 DPR-6 Big Rock Point January lk,1974 not used). This testing has been performed and re-corded on each reactor start-up as shown on Check Sheet C-3 for the reactor protection system and it has been performed each month during power operation as shown on the monthly reactor protection system tests and recorded as Test No T-30-1.
The problem appears to be that the documentation is not clearly identified as meeting the requirements of the quarterly automatic control and instrument test.
Both the Check Sheet C-3 and the Test Form No T-30-1 have been revised to include a note signify-ing that certain steps in the two documents satisfy the requirements of the quarterly tests.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the incorrectly stated response.
Yours very truly, Ralph B. Sewell (Signed)
