REPLY TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION

'

Violation

s

Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50 (10 CFR 50), Appendix B, Criterion V, states, " Activities affecting quality shall be .

prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings. of a type

,

appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished In accordance

.

,

with those instructions, procedures, or drawings .

"

..

Nuclear bivision' procedure"(NDP) 100-13. " Operating Experience Review -

Program". Section 5.1.B.1,' states, ". . .'It=is the responsibility.of the-

recipient to ensure that the Operating Experience Review Program (OERP)

1

_ Coordinator receives a copy of all incoming operating experience

.,

inferination.

Typical sources of this information include:

. .- .

i

  • -

c. Vendor Information . . . 4.

.Limitorque,;.-. ."

. .

Contrary to the above, at~the tiseIof'the inspection,'Limitorque

7

. Maintenance Update Numbers 88-2, 89-1, and 90-1:were received by

individual Portland General: Electric Company staff who' did not' forward

?

the documents to the Operating Experience Review Program Coordinator for

control and future retrieval.

.,

.*

Resnonse

1.

Reason For The Violation:

'

.

<.

The reason for the specific violation,was personnel error:in thatitheL

~

engineer who received the Limitorque Maintenance Updates did not

,

follow Portland General Electric Company's- (PCE) procedural

,,

requirement to place " vendor operating experience information" into-

the OERP.

A contributing:cause for this violation'is a procedural weakness in-

+

that the = requirements concerning vendor information are_ not specific

as to what documents should be forwarded for-consideration within the

OERP.

-lp

.

2.-_ Corrective Steps Taken And Results Achieved:

'

The-subject Limitorque Maintenance Updates'have been processed

[

through the OERP for documentation and review. Limitorque has been

instructed to address future correspondence containing technical

infoemation to the Manager, Nuclear Plant Engineering (NPE).
