SUBJECT:
Grand Gulf Nuclear Station Units 1 and 2 License No. NPF-13 Docket Nos. 416/417 File 0260/15525/15526 I. E. Report 416/82-60 of July 19 - Auguht 13, 1982 AECM-82/432
Reference:
MAEC-82/202, 8/30/82 This letter provides our response to NRC Violation 416/82-60-01, 416/82-60-02, and 416/82-60-03 transmitted by your letter dated August 30, 1982.
I.
ADMISSION OR DENIAL OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATIONS Mississippi Power & Light Company (MP&L) admits to the violations as stated.
II.
THE REASON FOR THE VIOLATIONS IF ADMITTED A.
Violation 82-60-01 Plant Administrative Procedure, 01-S-06-4, Access and Conduct in the Control Room, originally required that an access list be provided to manually control the personnel entry into the Control Room. Subsequent to the installation and operation of the automated physical security systems, access to the Control Room is maintained via card readers. The above noted procedure was not updated to indicate the new control system.
B.
Violation 82-60-02 Contrary to direction and information provided in the Operations Section Procedure 02-S-01-5, Shift Logs and Records, there were 8211150529 821021

PDR Member Middle South Utilities System
Mr. J. P. O'Reilly AECM-82/432 NRC Page 2 some e'ntries on some of the. shift logs that did not prov'ide all of the information regarding evolutions on the given shift. Although the minimum requirement of.a log entry was made, it is recognized that additional information is required to provide a historical record of events on a given shift.
C.
Violation 82-60 During the period between the receipt.of the Operating License and Fuel Load,-a large number of surveillance testing activities were required to meet the prerequisites for loading fuel. Due to the fact that the plant was not in an operating condition, i.e. there was no fuel in the reactor, this technical specification for working hour guidelines was inadvertantly exceeded.
In addition, there was one circumstance during fuel load that required an operator to exceed the 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> in 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> requirement.
This was done due to the fact that only three operators were being utilized for movement of fuel in order to assure the i
highest level of expertise for this very important evolution.
i III.
THE CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND THE RESULTS ACHIEVED 2
A.
Violation 82-60-01 The Security Supervisor has been directed to review the access list that corresponds to the various levels for the card reader system with the intent of reducing the number of personnel who are authorized access to the Control Room via the card reader system. Section Superintendents have been directed to review the access control lists and to submit to the Security Supervisor the names of those personnel who must continue to maintain permanent access to the Control Room.
B.
Violation 82-60-02 3
Night Orders have been forwarded to the shif ts indicating that each Shift Superintendent must assure that adequate log entries i
are provided in the Shift Superintendent's logbook as well as the Control Room Operator's logbook. A memo from the Assistant Plant Manager was also-forwarded to the Shift Superintendent reiterating his concern about the lack of information contained in these logs. The Operations Superintendent has personally counselled each of the Shift Superintendents on the importance of providing adequate log entries.
l C.
Violation 82-60-03 i
To prevent exceeding the Tech Spec guidelines, Standing Order 82.0011 has been issued and a memo has been issued to all mv
, =,_
3 I
Mr. J. P. O'Reilly AECM-82/432 NRC Page 3 Shif t Superintendents and Supervisors giving additional guidance on the subject. In addition, a form has been implemented to aid the Supervisor in keeping a record of the operators' overtime. Since the issuance of this j
standing order, no additional violations have occurred.
IV.
CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH WILL BE TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER VIOLATIONS A.
Violation 82-60-01 i
Plant Administrative procedure 01-S-06-4, Access and Conduct in the Control Room, will be revised to delete the requirement that the Operations Superintendent maintain a current access list in the Shift Superintendent's office.
B.
Violation 82-60-02 The Operations Superintendent and/or the Operations Assistant will periodically review and comment on copies of'the Control Room Operator Log and the Shift Superintendent Log to obtain appropriate feedback on the adequacy of log entries.
C.
Violation 82-60-03 Additional personnel have been approved.for the Operations Section. Two Nuclear Operator A's have recently passed their NRC license; these personnel will assist in relieving excess overtime.for licensed reactor operators. Other operations personnel are now actively in training to increase Licensed Operator personnel to further alleviate the problem in the future.
V.
THE DATE WHEN FULL COMPLIANCE WILL BE ACHIEVED A.
Violation 82-60-01 Full compliance will be achieved by October 15, 1982.
B.
Violation 82-60-02 4
Full compliance will be achieved by October 31, 1982.
