Reply to a Notice of Violation 4
Violation 50-369. 370/94-18-01 Technical Specification 4.0.5 requires inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1,2, and 3 pumps and valves in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable addenda as required by 10 CFR 50.55a. The licensee specified the pumps and valves to be tested to meet these requirements and the test frequencies in the Unit 1 and 2 inservice testing program effective March 1,1994.
Contrary to the above, on July 1,1994, the licensee identified that inservice testing had not been implemented on about 55 pumps and valves which were specified to be inservice tested by the Unit 1 and 2 inservice testing program effective March 1,1994. The licensee's identification of the failure to implement the testing was documented in McGuire Pmblem Investigation Process 0-M94-0756.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).
Reolv to Violation 50-369. 370/9418-01 1.
