Mr. James P. O'Reilly NRC Notice of Violation NRC Report 82-49 Page Two November 18, 1982 ATTACHMENT I RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION A INSPECTION REPORT 82-49 1.

ADMISSION OR DENIAL OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATION South Carolina Electric and Gas Company is in agreement with the stated violation.

II.

REASON (S) FOR THE VIOLATION The Operator Logs, which are used for performance of frequently required surveillances such as Service Water Pond level, were recently revised.

In this revision process, the Service Water Pond level entry was omitted by personnel error.

III.

CORRECTIVE STEPS TAKEN AND RESULTS ACHIEVED Monticello Lake level readings were obtained from 5he Fairfield Pumped Storage Facility Control Room for the time?in question 3

in order to document that the lake level was within the Virgil C.

Summer Nuclear Station Technical Specification limits for Service Water Fond level.

(Monticello Lake surrounds the Service Water Pond on three sides.

Because of a 36" connecting i

pipe, both bodies of water remain at approximately the same level.)

This assures with a high degree of confidence that the Service Water Pond level was within Technical Specification limit for the period of September 22, 1982 through September 29, 1982.

The plant was in Mode 4 for this entire period.

1 i

IV.

CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER VIOLATION The following corrective actions have been taken to prevent recurrence.

1.

The Operator Logs were revised to include the Service Water Pond level requirements.

I 2.

On September 30, 1982, Operations personnel performed a comparision between the log sheets and GTP-701,

" Surveillance Test Master, " in order to verify that all assigned surveillances were included on the logs.

GTP-701 is the master plant document which identifies the I

applicable procedures and/or program, where Technical Specification surveillance requirements are addressed.

No discrepancies or ommissions were discovered.

l l

Mr. James P. O'Reilly NRC Notice of Violation NRC Report 82-49 Page Three November 18, 1982 ATTACHMENT I Continued 3

On November 7, 1982, the SCE&G Quality Assurance Group performed a surveillance of Operator Logs versus Technical Specification surveillance requirements.

As a result of this surveillance, three additional items were discovered.

Condensate Storage Tank level, as required by Technical Specification 3.3.3.8, was not being addressed for Modes 5 and 6.

The Channel Check for the Turbine Building Sump Radiation Monitor hM-L8 was not being performed.

This is required by Technical Specification 3.3.3.8 for all Modes.

Also, the Channel Check for Reactor Building Purge Radiation Monitor RM-A4 was not being performed in Mode 5, as required by Technical Specification 3.3.3.9; 4.

The Station Surveillance Test Coordinator, who.is responsible for the Surveillance Test Program, performed a detailed review of Technical Specification su,rveillance requirements versus the Operator Logs.

No additional discrepancies were noted; however, some clarifications were made (i.e., listing all applicable Technical Specification surveillance requirements on the logs for each log surveillance).

5 The Quality Assurance Group will be included in the review cycle for all log changes f.nvolving Technical Specification surveillance requirements.

Also, Quality Assurance will be added to the log distribution list per Operations Special Instruction.

V.

DATE OF FULL COMPLIANCE All nece::ary log revisions will be completed by December 1, 19d2, and all necessary procedure / instruction revisions will be completed by December 30, 1982.

ADMISSION OR DENIAL OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATION South Carolina Electric and Gas Company is in agreement with the stated violation.

II.

REASON (S) FOR VIOLATION The reason for the violation is attributed to an administrative oversite.

The subject tag out was prepared as required and presented to the Tagging Authority for authorization.- The Tagging Authority reviewed the tag out against plant conditions and returned the tag out to appropriate personnel for the placement of tags, but failed to sign the fonn as, required.

Due to the routine nature of the tag out, the personnel i

performing the tag out failed to note that the form had not been signed.

III.

CORRECTIVE STEPS TAKEN AND RESULTS ACHIEVED An audit was performed on the t'ag out Log Book in order to identify any similar problems.

No additional problems were discovered, therefore, indicating that the subject condition is an isolated case.

counselled on the importance of completing the administrative requirements associated with the Danger Tag
