Subject:

I&E Inspection Report 63-24 Notice of Violation - Failure to Determine the Iodine Ecmovag Efficiency of the Post Accident Charcoal System at 286 F as Fequired by Technical Specifications.

Dear Dr. Murley:

i The Notice of Violation contained in Inspection Report 83-24 states the following:

" Contrary to the above, (Technical Specification 4.5.2.3.1.c) the surveillance test performed on December 4, 1983 to determine the iodine removal cfficiency'of the' post accident charcoal system was measured under test conditions of 266 F

.rather than 286 F as required. Further, the' test report documenting the incorrect test temperature was reviewed and accepted'by supervisory personnel from two responsible departments."

'In'accordance with:our purchase order (PO Number N-EG-26852) the - contractior , NucleartConsulting Serviceg,-Inc.-(NUCON) was

- -requested to perform this analysis.at'286,F. NUCON - per forras

' similar; analyse's for several other nuclear power plants and confused.our test' requirements:with the standard. requirements

Compounds." These standard requirements specify a . test temperature

-as'.beingLequal.to saturation temgerature' corresponding ~to'a pressure of-3.7natmospheres.(266 F). It should be noted that ,
