Response to Inspection Nos. 50-443/82-04 and 50-444/82-04
Dear Sir:
In response to the violation which you reported in Reference (b), PSNH offers the following:
Notice of Violation:
(443/82-04-02) 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V and the Seatrook Station PSAR require that activities affecting quality be accomplished in accordance with instructions and procedures. Fischbach-Boulos-Manzi (FEM) procedures, FECP-511 and QCP-511, indicate that the 125V station control batteries shall be installed, to include torquing, per Manufacturer's specification and shall be inspected to same.
Quality Control (QC) witness of torque application is required.
Contrary to the above, as of June 11, 1982, two 125V station control batteries (1-EDE-B-1A and IB) were inspected and accepted despite visual evidence that the installation did not conform to specific items in the Manufacturer's (Could) specification and procedural requirements, as follows:
Terminal and cell connector bolt hardware was not torqued on both the head and nut sides, as required by Gould.
QC witness was not provided for torquing inter-tier cable connector (i.e.: jumpers) bolt hardware.

o United Stetce Nuclear R:gulatory Commission July 15, 1982 Attention: Richard W. Starostecki Page 2 Certain inter-cell connectors were inctalled upside down relative to the position on the battery cell posts as required by the Manufacturer's specification.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement II).
A.
Response
Corrective Action Taken and Pesults Achieved The installation contractor has re-inspected the installed batteries, identified discrepant conditions and performed appropriate re-work and re-inspection to assure that contract and component manufacturer requirements have been satisfied.
Fischbach-Boulos-Manzi has issued an interim change to their procedure for inspection of battery racks (Q. C. Procedure QCP-511) which incorporates appropriate manufacturer's specification.
Corrective action was completed on June 25, 1982.
Very truly yours, YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPAh7
