Dear Mr. O'Reilly:
SUBJECT:
Grand Gulf Nuclear Station Unit 2 Docket No. 50-417 License No. NPF-13 File 0260/16694.4 Violation 417/84-01-01, Failure to Provide a Procedure for the Control and Evaluation of NRC Bulletins, Circulars and Notices Affecting Unit 2 AECM-84/2-0001 Our response to NRC Violation 417/84-01-01, Failure to Provide a Procedure to Control and Evaluate NRC Bulletins, Circulars, and Notices Applicable to Unit 2, is as follows. This response was originally due on March 9, 1984, but a one week extension was granted on that day by Mr. D.
- Verrelli, 1.
Admission or Denial of the Alleged Violation MP&L admits that procedures to control and evaluate NRC Bulletins, Circulars, and Notices applicable to Unit 2 were not in place for Unit 2 Project Engineering at the time of the Inspection. However, as stated in the Inspection Report, no examples could be identified where MP&L had failed to evaluate appropriate bulletins, circulars, or notices.
2.
The Reasons for the Violation, if Admitted When the organizational structure was changed to separate Unit 1/ Unit 2 activities, the need for separate Unit 2 procedures to control and evaluate NRC Bulletins, Circulars, and Notices was not recognized.

The Corrective Steps Which Have Been Taken and The Result Achieved Quality Assurance issued Corrective Action Request (CAR 827) requesting the Unit 2 Project Manager to issue procedures to address the NRC concern with respect to the control ar.d evaluation of NRC Bulletins, Circulars, and Notices and to evaluate other activities on Unit 2 for possible procedural deficiencies.
Project Engineering Procedure (PEP)-5 was issued on March 14, 1984. This procedure specifies the requirements for the control and evaluation of NRC Bulletins and Notices. Since the NRC will no longer use Circulars as a mechanism for the dissimation of information, Circulars were not included in this Unit 2 procedure.
The Unit 2 Project Manager will perform a thorough review to provide assurance that all previous NRC Bulletins, Circulars, and Notices have been answered, even though no missed bulletins, circulars, or notices were identified during the inspection.
Quality Assurance issued CAR 841 to the Vice President - Nuclear requesting that an indepth review of Unit 1 areas of responsiblity, as described in the applicable upper tier requirements, be performed to identify.those 4
areas which require Unit 1/ Unit 2 interface and that a list of these areas be provided to the Manager of Quality Assurance. CAR 841 also requested that areas of procedural inadequacy be identified and that procedures be developed to address these deficiencies.
Since Nuclear Services is responsible for the receipt of NRC Bulletins, Circulars, and Notices and their distribution for evaluation', Nuclear Services Administrative Procedure (NSAP)'9.2 has been revised to address the Unit 1/ Unit 2 interface with regard to-the control and evaluation of
'NRC Bulletins, Circulars, and Noticea. Revision 2 of NSAP 9.2 was issued e
on March 16, 1984.
4.
Corrective Steps Which Have Been Taken to Avoid Further Violation l
PEP-5 was issued by' the Unit 2 Project Manager. NSAP 9.2 was. revised by the Manager of Nuclear Services to include a Unit 1/ Unit 2 interface for control of NRC Bulletins,, Circulars, and Notices. -
5.
The Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved Full compliance has been achieved at this time.
Yours truly, A
'L. F. Dale Manager of Nuclear Services fD6 KDS:dr L
