Report aw ars 50-348/84-05 50-364/84-05
Dear Mr. Lewis:
This letter refers to the violation cited in the subject inspection reports which states:
"The following violations were identified during an inspection conducted on February 6 - March 16,1984. The Severity Levels were assigned in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C).
10 CFR 50.59 allows the licensee to make changes to the facility as described in the FSAR without prior Commission approval provided-that the change does not involve a change to the Technical Specifications or constitute an unreviewed safety question. The licensee is required to maintain records which include a written safety evaluation which provides the basis for determining that the change does not constitute an unreviewed safety question. The spent fuel pool design features are described in the FSAR, including design features to prevent dewatering.
Contrary to the above, the licensee did not perform a written safety evaluation prior to transferring water from the spent fuel pool to the transfer canal using a submersible pump. The submersible pump is a change to the spent fuel pool as described in the FSAR."
