Subject:

Inspection 83-07

Reference:

NRC Letter to Boston Edison, dated May 2, 1983.

Dear Sir:

This responds to the one violation identified during a routine safety inspection conducted between March 22, 1983 and April 18, 1983, and communicated to Boston Edison in Appendix A of the reference.

Notice of Violation A (Inc 83-07-02)

Technical Specification 6.8. A requires that written procedures be implemented that meet or exceed the requirements and recommendations of USNRC Regulatory i

Guide (R.G.) 1.33.

Regulatory Guide 1.33 requires _ procedures for equipment control and maintenance.

Station Procedure TS 82-43, Resin Removal From the i

Reactor Building Vent Duct, Revision 2, requires the redundant ' A' Standby Gas Treatment System (SGTS) train be demonstrated operable prior to removal of the

'B' SGTS train from service for inspection and cleaning.

Contrary to the above, on March 30, 1983, Procedure TP 82-43 was not implemented

-in that the redundant SGTS train (' A') was not demonstrated operable prior to inspection and cleaning of the 'B' IGTS train.

Response

Our immediate corrective action was to demonstrate operability of SGTS train (A) by acceptable performance of surveillance test Procedure 8.7.2.6 (One Train. of Standby Gas Treatment System Inoperable) in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specification 3.7.B.1.c.

This action was completed March 30, 1983.

In addition, the Chief Operating Engineer counseled the personnel involved for l

failing to implement the requirements of Procedure TP 82-43 (Rev. 2) and on the importance of procedural adherence and maintenance of an accurate status (aware-ness) of plant conditions.

This counselling was completed on March 30, 1983.
