Mr. James P. O'Reilly GENTLEMEN:

1983.

This report was ir, regard to the failure to submit a special report t

as required by Technical Specification 3.7.6.1.

One violation wcs identified and considered applicable to Plant Hatch Unit 2.

VIOLATION:

1 Technical Specification 3.7.6.1 requires tnat a spacial report shall be submitted by telephone within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> if more than one sater supply of 4

the fire suppression water system is inoperable.

Each water supply must have a minimum contained volume of 270,000 gallons.

Contrary to the above, on December 31, 1982, a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> telephone report l

was not submitted within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> when both water supplies to the File Suppression Water System were below the Technical Specification requirement of 270,000 gallons for each supply.

This is a repetitive occurrence (last previous occurrence on November 27, 1982).

This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I).

i

RESPONSE

i Admission or denial of alleged violation: The violation occurred.

Reason for violation:

The event was caused by a Unit 1 equipment malfunction that resulted in the decrease of fire tank level for

[

Unit 2.

Operating personnel evaluated the results of this malfunction as related to Unit 1, but failed to make a proper evaluation of the event as related to Unit 2 requirements.

The failure to maintain tank level was caused by a 1A cooling tower deluge system trip, and the evaluation conducted was centered around the failure of the Unit 1 equipment.

It was not until reviews were conducted on January 3,1983 that the failure to take actions required by the Unit 2 Technical Specification was noted.
