Subject:
V. C. Summer Nuclear Station Unit #1 - Response to 50-395/NRC Audit Report 81-13
Dear Mr. O'Reilly:
This is in response to your audit report No. 50-395/81-13. As discussed with your Mr. W. H. Miller, Jr. on August 17, this letter is to document the status of SCE&G action on items contained in report 81-13.
The following should be noted as relevant and important to' ultimate closcout of items contained in report 81-13.
1.
In Amendment No. 27 which is scheduled to be issued on August 21 the raaponse to FSAR question 421.77 and Chapter 9.5 is being revised to clarify that tha QA/QC program applbs to " fire protection equipment and systems for areas containing safety related eouipment."
2.
To address NRR's questions on SER open item 1.6.10, the apparent 'iscrep-d ancies with the written version of the SER, and the NRC's concerns on
' Appendix R, SCE6C provided on July 16, 1981, a letter to Mr. Harold Denton.
A copy of this letter is attached. NRR's review of this submittal is currently in progress and will be addressed in the next supplement to the SER.
3.
In response to Deviation 81-13-02, SCE&G has identified the cause of the conditions noted as interpretation of the commitment reflected in FSAR question 421.77. At the time of preparation of the QC inspection program associated with fire protection systems, SCC &G's program was developed based 2-on the words " procedures similar to those used for safety related work" meaning that coverage would be applied to the installation to the extent
- that a high degree of confidence existed that the installation was adequate (allowing for some discretion with respect to scope of inspection for non-l safety systems).- The interpretation, used by the I&E inspector was that inspection.of certain items and systems was required _ for "similar to those used for safety related work", resulting in the deviation.

Page 2 August 20, 1981 To correct the' conditions noted in the deviation, SCE&G has clarified
. the definition as to the equipment and systems covered by the OA program as described in item 1 above. We have also established an !
ction program to address the items noted in the deviation.to avoid iurther interpretation problems. These inspections are either done or in process with an anticipated completion date of approximately one month.
SCE&G has determined that no' actions are required programmatically to prevent recurrence of.this problem since the problem was isolated and specific to the fire equipment noted and not the inspection system.
Also, the solution is specific to the items noted with no generic implication 3.
SCE&G considers this letter a final response to Deviation 81-13-02 with tar-geted completion of inspections in a month.
If any.of the above circumstances are known to change,. SCE&G will apprise the Region via supplemental correspondence.
The NRC Resident Inspector will be kept advised of progress on this subject and documented evidence will be made available to the Regional Inspcc. tor upon his return to the plent site.
If any questions arise concerning the information contained herein, please call.
Yours very truly, g/
