Dear Mr. Brunner,
This refers to an inspection conducted by your Mr. John
~
Streeter on June 21 - 25 and June 29 - July 2, 1976 of acti-y:f ':ies authori::cd by MRC Licence Uc. DPR-64 at our Indian Ed. int Station.
Your July 27, 1976 letter stated that it-ap-
. N^
peared that certain of our activities were not conducted in full compliance.with NRC requirements.
These particular ac-(#
~
tivities were enclosed as Appendices A & B to your letter.
With respect to the item identified in Appendix A, the follow-Ing is offered:
)
During the Inspector's review of the test results of the
~
power ascension program, he noted that field changes to the test procedures were not being approved in accordance with l
INT-TP-ADMIN-1.0, The Administrative Guidelines for the Test l
Program".
ADMIN-1.0 requires that field changes be jointly
(
agreed to by Wedco and the con Ed Test Supervisor who is the l
Watch Foreman after the issuance of an operating license.
Contrary to this requirement, personnel other than the Watch Foreman had approved several non-safety related changes.
The changes approved were either clerical or non-safety related.
The personnel making the changes were the Con Ed shift Test Engineers who were considered to be more techni-cally qualified to make these types of changes since they were involved in the preparation and approval of the origi-nal procedures.
