Docket No. STN 50-482 Subj: Response to Inspection Report STN 50-482/83-14
Dear Mr. Seidle:
This letter is written in response to your letter of June 15, 1983, which transmitted Inspection Report STN 50-482/83-14. As requested, the violation identified in the Inspection Report is being addressed in three parts:
a) The corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; b) Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and c) The date when full compliance will be achieved.
Violation Finding: Failure to Provide Procedures for Startup Activities 10CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, states: " Activities
.2fecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.
Instructions, procedures, or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished."

Mr. W.C. Seidle KMLNRC_83-091 July 15, 1983 Finding (continued):
" Operations Documents" requires:
"The Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS) staff and other divisions shall provide written procedures and drawings as required for the operating phase.
(The Wolf Creek Operations Quality Assurance Program (WCOQAP) is invoked during startup activities).
Contrary to the above, on May 18, 1983, KG&E Startup realigned the (NK) 125 volt DC Class lE system. The RRI observed that all four NK busses were being fed from one battery charger. No procedure was available for this operation. The systems were being aligned to support repairs to the other battery chargers.
All alignment was being done by the Startup engineer without a procedure or any of the controls of a planned procedure.
Response
KG&E Startup Administrative Procedure ADM 14-405, " Temporary Modification Control" is the controlling procedure for temporary modifications such as described in the violation.
This procedure was revised by Administrative Change Notice (ACN) 002 issued on May 24, 1983, to require additional authorization and implementation controls for temporary modifications. These additional controls are now implemented when temporary modifications change system design operating characteristics or could impact system chemistry.
a) Corrective steps which have been taken and results achieved:
ADM 14-405 was revised by ACN 002.
The revised procedure requires review and concurrence of an authorizing document before certain temporary modifications are put in p g These additional measures provide added assurance that temporary modifications are applied in a controlled and properly authorized manner. Construction Work Permit NK-89-E was issued on May 24, 1983, to provide additional documented authorization and direction for the temporary NK system realignment.
b) Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations:
All corrective steps are described above.
