o, ENCLOSURE (l)

REPLY TO APPENDIX A OF NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-317/83-21 50-318/83-21 We have reviewed the incident involving lack of proper notification and out-of-specification chemical analysis results described in the Inspection Report for any programmatic weaknesses in our current procedures. As a result of our review, we have taken corrective actions ensuring that events similar to those described are not repeated in the future.

With regard to the improper notification of the Shif t Supervisor and the Supervisor-Plant Chemistry, we have determined that the guidance currently containea in RCP l-20t+ is adequate. The identified violation involves failure of chemistry technicians to properly

~

implement the controls provided by the procedure. As a result, the technicians who were involved in the incident have been counseled on the importance of logging ull rnalytical results as well as notifying the proper personnel in a timely manner in the event out-of-specification analysis results are discovered.

An investigation of the incident indicates that the cause of the out-of-specification analysis was a result of contaminated reagent used in performing the boron chemical analysis. Prcicedure changes have been implemented which require a boron standard to be analyzed on a daily basis to verify the purity of the reagents used in boron analysis.

Ful! complimce was achieved on September 8,1983.
