Docket No. 50-285/81-09

Dear Mr. Seyfrit:

This provides Omaha Public Power District's response to the Notice of Violation, Appendix A to IE Inspection Report 81-09, dated May 27, 1981.

Violation A. Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted during the period of April 1-30, 1981, and in accordan e with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FC 66754 (October 7,1980), the following violation was identified:

l Technical Specification 5.8.1 requires that " Written procedures . . i be established, implemented and maintained that meet or exceed the minimum requirements of Sections 5.1 and 5.3 of ANSI N18.7-1972 and Appendix A of US NRC Regulatory Guide 1.33. . ."

Standing Order G-7 establishes the Operating Manual and states in Section 1.3 that " adherence to (the) Operating Manual is mandatory."

Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to restore valves SI-223 and SI-224 to their proper position as required in step F.1.b(2) of surveillance test procedure SI/CS Pumps and Valves performed on flarch 17, 1981.

Response

1. Corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved.

l The surveillance test has been revised to ensure that the pressure I gauge isolation valves have been repositioned to their desired i

position after testing. The open instri: ment isolation valves did l not represent a degradation of a safety system. In order to ensure the accuracy of the subject pressure gauges for ISI testing, these

( valves are normally closed so that the gauges are not continually exposed to system pressures. It shc,uld be noted that the normal alignment of the valves in question is a desired position not a j required position.

2. Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations.

Surveillance test procedures will be reviewed in accordance with the normal operating nanual biennial review sched.21e to assure that sufficient detail exists in return to normal valve line-ups.

3. Date when full compliance will be achieved.

The Omaha Public Power District is presently in full compliance.

Sincerely,

/
