Attachment Page 1 Serial No. 626 RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-3'33/83-18 AND 50-339/83-18 NRC COMMENT:
(
Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires written procedures to be established, implemented, and maintained.
Contrary to the above, the following procedures were not implemented:
RWP-83-ST-27 was not followed on July 13, 1983, in that a worker entered a radiation area without the proper protective clothing.
EMP-P-RT-125 and D'F-P-RT-12 7 sections on 86-25H6 and 86-25H7 lockout relays were not properly functionally checked, on August 3, 1983.
EMP-P-RT-208 checkout procedure was not correctly implemented on the 86-25H6 and 86-25H7 lockout relays in that it did not list the proper reference material, which made it impossible to comply with.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I), and applies to Unit 2 only.
RESPONSE
(1) ADMISSION OR DENIAL OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATION:
This violation is correct as stated.
(2) REASONS FOR VIOLATION:
The failures cited were due to personnel error.
The Radiation Work Permit for the access to the basement of the Quench Spray Pumphouse was revised.
The Operator did not review the new RWP and acknowledge its change as required prior to entry.
The failure to properly execute the provisions of the Electrical Maintenance Procedures and provide the necessary follow-up of documenting deficiencies was due to the technicians unfamiliarity with the established document and deficiency control program.
Theee technicians were from the System Protection Control Operations Group and although they had completed the General Employee Training, they were not properly instructed or supervised in how to handle these events.
(3) CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH HAVE BEEE TAKEN AND THE RESULTS ACHIEVED:
The personnel involved in each of these events were counseled and reinstructed in the need for adherence to procedures.
The deficiencies noted on the checkout procedure (EMP-P-RT-208) have been corrected by procedure revision.

(4) CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH WILL BE TAKEN TO AVOID FURThER VIOLATIONS:
The System Protection Supervisor has baen instructed to provide closer surveillance of the work activities of support service personnel under his cognizance and to ensure assigned personnel are aware of the requirements for procedural adherence.
The failure to adhere to the posted RWP appears to be an isolated event.
All Station Personnel are trained and periodically retrained in the requirements for adherence to posted RWP's.
In addition, the need to review RWP's every time an area is entered, to become aware of changes, is emphasized. Therefore no further corrective actions are necessary.
(5) THE DATE WHEN FULL COMPLIANCE WILL BE ACHIEVED:
Full compliance has been achieved.
