JOHNE MAIE H Y E L E P'+0V v.,>, o m 4ar a coor vs 546-2700 September 15, 1982 Mr. Eldon J. Brunner U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of Inspection and Enforcement Region I 631 Park Avenue King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406
Subject:
I & E Inspection Report 82-14 Notice of Violations Overdue Surveillance Test Performance R.
E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, Unit No. 1 Docket No. 50-244
Dear Mr. Brunner:
In accordance with the above subject which stated "During inspection on July 1-31, 1982 and in accordance with NRC Enforcement Policy, 10 CFR 2, Appendix C (47FR-9987), March 9, 1982, the following violation was identified.
Technical Specification 4.1.1 requires that effective upon completion of the Spring 1982 refueling outage, a monthly surveillance test will be performed of the loss of voltage-
/ degraded voltage protection for the 480 volt safeguards buses.
Contrary to the above, as of July 16, 1982, the monthly surveillance test for the loss of voltage / degraded voltage protection for the 480 volt safeguard buses had not been performed; a period in excess of one month af ter completion of the Spring 1982 refueling outage (May 25, 1982)."
the following is submitted in response.
Corrective action to address this violation is as follows:
As stated in the Notice of Violation regarding performance of the initial test of the Loss of Voltage / Degraded Voltage protection system, a violation of Technical Specification 4.1.1 did exist.

SHEET NO. 2 DATE September 15, 1982 Mr. Eldon J. Brunner To Discovery of this violation was made by the Licensee and corrective measures were being taken when the oversight was pointed out by the Resident Inspector.
It should be pointed out that these systems had gone through exhaustive acceptance testing just prior to criticality on May 25, 1982.
The monthly test was ir the process of being developed from these acceptance tests at the time when the missed surveillance interval was identified.
Using the May 25, 1982 date as the basis for establishing the monthly interval would require performance of the test (one month plus 25%) no later than July 2, 1982.
The test of all four 480 Volt Safeguard Buses was actually completed on July 17,1982.
In an effort to ensure complete adequacy of this procedure, a draf t was distributed to the off-site Engineering Department so it could be reviewed by the Respon-sible Engineer and an assistant who had been charged with writing the initial acceptance tests.
This, unfortunately, added to delays due to other post-outage activities and the fact that cognizant individuals were on vacatien at the time.
The initial monthly test was performed satisfactorily and has now been added to the regular monthly schedule for the Test Department.
Very Truly Yours, bkb Joh E.
Maier Subscribed and sworn to me on this 15th day of depte ber 1982.
