Gentlemen:
Thank you for your letter of March 28, 1990, supplementing your April 11,
1986, response to our letter and Notice of Violation dated March 7,1986. We
have reviewed your reply and find that, although this new commitment is a
- l ~
reduction from the previous consnitment you made in your April 11, 1986,
response, we concur with your conclusions and find that your modified commitment
is still responsive to the concerns raised in our Notice of Violation. As
discussed with Mr. D. Lorfing of your staff, GSU p%ns to remove the hold
points in the electrical maintenance work requests for Category I electrical
equipment panels and replace them with a quarterly, random sampling of
_
accessible control room panels during plant operation and a random sampling of
1
Q-Class 1 electrical panels, located in the power block, prior to plant startup
following any planned outage. We will review the implementation of your
corrective actions during future inspections to determine that full compliance
!
is maintained.
Sincerely.

Gentlemen:
River Bend Station - Unit 1
Refer to : Region IV
Docket No. 50-458/ Report 86-04
This letter supplements Gul f StatesUtilitiesCompany's(GSU)
April 11, 1986 response to the Notice of Violation contained in
Inspection
Report
No.
50-458/8604-01,
" Failure
to
Administratively Control Temporary Circuit Alterations."
To
correct the unauthorized use of lif ted leads and jumpers, GSU
stated: "As of January 7, 1986, Operations Quality Control
(QC)
has instructed QC Planners and Lead Inspectors to include a hold
point on Electrical Maintenance Work Requests for Category I
Electrical Equipment Panels. This will allow for inspection upon
completion of work for
' lifted leads, jumpers, cleanliness,
proper termination and separation'."
A review of maintenance history and QC Inspection Reports since
revising ' Operations
Quality
Procedures
and
Instructions
(0CI)-3.7, " Quality Control Inspection Planning", which includes
a section describing the use of the QC Planning Review Checklist
to establish QC Hold Points where required or applicable, and
General Maintenance Procedure (GMP)-0042,
" Circuit Testing and
Lifted Leads and Jumpers", which requires the use of serialized
tagging to provide better control and accountability for lifted
leads and jumpers, .has shown a steady decline in the number of
unsatisfactory conditions noted by OC.
GSU is confident that
this trend will continue. GSU is modifying instructions for QC
inspections of electrical equipment panels as stated below.
" Quality Control, on a quarterly basis, will conduct a random
sampling of all accessible control room panels during normal
plant operation. Additionally, a random sampling of Q-Class
1 electrical
panels located in the power block will be
conducted prior to plant start-up following any planned
outage."

This change will allow QC to identify any negative trend, should
..
it occur in the future.
GSU believes that the corrective actions
included in the original
response to the Notice of Violation
along with this modified action will prevent recurrence of future
violations.
