Mr. Richard W.
Starostecki, Director Division of Project and Resident Programs Gentlemen:
NRC COMBINED INSPECTION 50-272/83-13 AND 50-311/83-19 AMENDED RESPONSE SALEM GENERATING STATION NO. 1 AND 2 UNITS JUNE 9 - JULY 12, 1983 In our August 29, 1983 response to the subject notice of viola-tion, PSE&G stated that, as part of the corrective action taken, valve stem height measurements were added to the Tagging Request and Inquiry System (TRIS) data base.
It was subsequently deter-mined, however, that the continuous updating of the data base that this would entail would be counter-productive.
Consequent-ly, the valve stem height measurements have since been removed from the TRIS data base and a change was made to the footnote on the TRIS worksheet to refer the operator to Surveillance Pro-cedura SP(0)4.5.2g which requires a determination of throttle valve position, valve stem height, and bench mark mapping.
In view of the above, we have amended our response to the sub-ject notice of violation as follows:
ITEM OF VIOLATION Item A Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures be implemented for surveillance and test activities of safety related equipment.
Surveillance Procedure SP(O)4.5.2g, Emergency Core Cooling --
ECCS Throttle Valves, requires that the correct position 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 stroking operation, mair.tenance or at least once per 18 months in accordance with Technical Specificatior. 4.5.2g.

- U.5;. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 9/22/83 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 On June 29, 1983, during an NRC system 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, which includes determination of throttle valve position, valve stem height, and bench mark matching.
- However, due-to oversight, the Unit 2 workstaet required verification of valve position only.
a.
Corrective steps which have been raken 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 specification.
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(0)4.5.2g within 4 l
hours.
This procedure requires that the throttling i
pocitions be recorded from the last ECCS flow balance test, i
Surveillance Procedure SP(O)4.5.2.H.
b.
Correctivo steps which will be taken to avoid further violations None required.
i c.
Date when full compliance will be achieved We are now in full compliance.
Sincerely,
. A.
