NRC COMBINED INSPECTION 50-272/83-13 AND 50-311/83-19 SALEM GENERATING STATION NO. 1 AND 2 UNITS JUNE 9 - JULY 12, 1983 The following is our response to the notice of violation identi-fied as a result of the rout ine res ident sa f e ty ins pe ct ion conducted June 9 through July 12, 1983.
ITEM OF VIOLATION Item A Technical Spec ification 6. 8.1 requires that written procedures he implemented for surveillance and test act ivit ies of sa f e ty related equipment.
i Surveillance Procedure SP(O)4.5.2g, Emergency Core Cooling ECCS Throttle Valves, requires that the correct pos ition of the ECCS Throttle Valves be verified within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> following each valve strok ing operat ion, maintenance or at least once pe r 18 l
months in accordance with Technical Spec ification 4. 5. 2g.
1 Contrary to the above:
On June 29, 1983, it was determined that the ECCS Throttle Valves had been operated and Surveillance Procedure SP(O)4.5.2g was not subsequently implemented to verify the correct position (s) of the valves within four hours.

Reply to Item A i
on June 29, 1983, during an NRC systen walkdown of the Unit 2 Safety Injection System, it was determined that the ECCS Throttle Valves 21-24SJ16 were not in their correct positions, and that Surveillance Procedure SP(O)4.5.2g had not been performed following maintenance, as required.
A subsequent investigation revealed that a footnote on the Tagging Request and Inquiry System (TRIS) worksheet for Unit I required the operator to reference Surveillance Procedure SP(O)4.5.2g, wh ich includes determination of throttle valve position, valve stem height, and bench mark natching.
- However, due to oversight, the Unit 2 worksheet required verification of valve position only.
r a.
Corrective steps which have been taken and results achieved Immediately upon discovery, the ECCS Throttle Valve positions were corrected and verified, in accordance with Surveillance Procedure SP(O)4.5.2g thus placing PSE&G in compliance with the specif ication.
P In order to prevent the recurrence, the valve stem height measurements were added to the TRIS data base, in addition to the throttle valve pos ition.
Also, the TRIS worksheet footnote was changed for all Unit 1 and Unit 2 ECCS Throttle Valves to require positioning of the valves in accordance with procedure SP(O)4.5.2g within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.
This procedure requires that the throttling positions be recorded from the last ECCS flow balance tes t, Surveillance Procedure SP(O)4.5.2.H.
i b.
Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further j
violations None required.
c.
Date when full compliance will be achieved We are now in full compliance.
I Sincerely, A.
