This letter refers to the violation in the subject inspection re-port which states:
"As a result of the inspection conducted on April 16-May 15,1982, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, 47 FR 9987 (March 9, 1982), the following violation was identified.
Technical Specification 6.8.1.a requires that written pro-cedures shall be established and implemented. Adrinistra-tive Procedure No. 16 " Conduct of Operation - Operations Group" states that plant procedures shall be adhered to in the conduct of all plant operations.
Contrary to the above, on May 10, 1982 plant procedure FNP-1-ARP-1 " Annunciator Response Procedure" for annuncia-tor alarm " Monitor Light Box, Engineered Safety System (ES$)
Valves off-normal position" on the main control board was not utilized to determine which ESS valves were in the off-normal position. This resulted in the centainment spray system being inoperable for six hours and fif ty-five minutes."
