Dear Sir:

.This ~ submittal is to clarify a commitment 'date, provide a brief- summary of pro-1 gress on the commitment, and' revise a commitment date. It responds to a request contained in Reference (B)'.

. . Response of February 17, 1983 In Reference (A), we trarismitted the following in response to Item of Non Com- ,

.pliance 82-04-03:

t 1. Procedure 8.2.3, " Visual & Manual Inspection'of. Primary Containment Isolation

-Valves 1" and Smaller," will have all of the valves identified in the procedure  ;

transcribed ;into the Appendix A valve checklists of the affected system pro-cedures by 6/1/83.. At the conclusion of this work item,- Procedure 8.2.3, Visual & Manual Inspection of ' Primary Containment Isolation Valves '1" and Smaller, will be retired.

2. . All of the ' verified sketches associated with Procedure '8.7.1.5, " Local Leak ,

Rate Testing of Primary Containment Penetrations and Isolation Valves," will

.be. redrawn and retyped to incorporate new data identified as a result of this

. effort by 6/15/83.

3. The affected systems with valves located outside of the primary containment will have t' eir n Appendix A valve checklists updated to incorporate the devia-j tions identified between them and the Procedure 8.7.1.5 sketches by 7/15/83.

l The affected systems with valves located inside the primary containment will have their Appendix A valve checklists updated to incorporate the deviations identified between them and the Procedure 8.7.1.5 sketches af ter the next

-refueling outage. This delay is necessary because, in some cases, the actual location of the valves (a requirement of the valve checklist) must be identi-fled by a plant walkdown; therefore, this item will be scheduled as a task for the next refueling outage.

Present Status and Clarification All of the system procedures referred to in Item _ I have been updated and emplaced

, with the exception of one. This procedure is currently in the Operation Review Committee (ORC) pre-review cycle, and is to be emplaced by July 15, 1983.

A review of the Item 1 commitment indicated that a strict interpretation would

-imply that not having all the subject procedures completed by June 1,1983 would be a deviation.

Boston Edison therefore wishes to clarify Reference (A).

We believe that to ensure a meaningful set of procedures in a timely manner neces-4 sitates that Item 3, the updating of checklists to reflect the current configura-tion of Pilgrim, be performed concurrently with Item 1.

I Item 1 was an interim step consisting of attaching the existing Appendix A check-lists from Procedure 8.2.3 to system procedures. This would produce a product which could then be updated through the effort described in Item 3. This process would ensure that procedures accurately reflect the existing Pilgrim configurs-tion before being reviewed by ORC and implemented.

We do not _believe a deviation exists because the sequence described above is

-logically dictated, and we regret that Reference (A) inadvertently implied that the completion of Item 1 would be by June 1,1983 rather than the correct date, July 15, 1983.

We also wish to submit a new completion date for Item 2, the redrawing and retyp-ing of new data into Procedure 8.7.1.5.

This commitment has been adversely impacted by a . variety of demands on the cog-nizant personnel.- _ The data for upduting has been developed, but the formal

!' redrawing and retyping has slipped behind schedule; therefore a new schedule has q

' been developed, _ and completion will be August 15, 1983.
