.S Washington, DC 20555 DOCiGT 50-255, LICENSE DPR-20 PALISADES PLANT EFIm COPY On July 21, 1975 we transmitted an Abnormal Occurrence Report (AO-75-15) which described the unavailability for service of LPSI Pump 67 B due to incorrect valve positions. Since that transmittal further discussions among our staff and telephone conversations with members of the Division of Reactor Licensing staff have 1 cad us to conclude that additional emphasis on our corporate re-solve in the areas of operations inspections and surveillance is desirable.
Topical Report CPC-1 presently covers operations inspection and surveillance in QA Program Policy 10 which requires that the plant superintendent direct the preparation of an operations surveillance program. The program requires that inspection and surveillance be performed to assure that the plant is being op-erated in accordance with documented procedures, the Technical Specifications, th'e SAR, and Quality Assurance Program requirements. The program also requires that the inspection and surveillance be performed by qualified personnel.
The Plant Quality Assurance Superintendent audits to assure that plant operations inspection and surveillance activities, including start-up testing, are per-formed according to the program and that results are documented.
As no other departments were involved, a QA Program Procedure in Volume III van originally not considered necessary. Upon review, in light of the problem identified in A0-75-15, we have concluded that a procedure in Volume III would clarify and emphasize our corporate resolve in the area of operations inspec-tions and surveillance. The development, review,. approval and issuance of such a procedure is scheduled for completion during November 1975 The requirements of this procedure vill be incorporated in plant operating procedures by early December 1975 The independent verification required in this procedure will provide assurance that valve lineups are conducted properly and also provide a mechanism for detecting systematic discrepancies.
