MR. P. J. KELLOGG Gentlemen:
The following is submitted in response to telephone discussions on December 18, 1981 between Messrs. R. C. Lewis and A. Cunningham of your office and Messrs. W. A. Widner, L. T. Gucwa and S. C. Ewald of Georgia Power Company. This response provides supplemental information concerning an item of non-compliance cited in your inspection report 50-321/50-366 No.
81-24 dated November 4, 1981.
VIOLATION Environmental Technical Specification 5.3.2.2 requires that audits of facility activities shall be performed at least once a year under the cognizance of the SRB to ensure conformance of facility operation to all provisions of the Environmental Tec:inical Specifications (ETS).
ETS-3.2, Table 3.2-1, specifies the performance of an analytical program.
Contrary to the above, audits of the analytical program were not performed in 1980 and 1981, through October 6, 1981.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement VII.E).
RESPONSE
(1) We acknowledge that the identified item constitutes non-compliance with Environmental Technmical Specifications 5.3.2.2.
Further review of our activities has revealed that, while QA audits of contract activities are performed by the contactors, the results of these audit activities have not been reviewed by the Safety Review Board.

(3) Georgia Power personnel will-assess contractor QA activities and programs by April 1, 1982. For contractor QA programs that are acceptable, arrangements will be made to have the results of' these activities stbmitted to the SRB.

program is not adequate or reports cannot be submitted for periodic SRB review, Georgia Power Company representatives will perform routine annual QA audits and report to the SRB.
(4) By April 1, 1982. Georgia Power will develop a program to.

provide for ennual QA audits of contractor activities related to the environmental monitoring.
