BALTIMORE GAS AND ELECTRIC CHARLES CENTER. P.O. BOX 1475 BALTIMOR5. MARYLAND 21203 FINANCE DEPARTMENT November 28, 1984 Mr. Ira Dinitz Insurance Indemnity Analyst Licensee Relations Section Office of State Programs M/S AR 5037 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C.
20555 Re Docket Nos. 50-317 and 50-318 Agreement No. B-70
Dear Mr. Dinitz:
In response to your letter of November 27, 1984, enclosed are two (2) copies of the following nuclear liability endorsements which your letter stated had not been received:
Endorsement No. 40 to MF-76 Endorsement Nos. 15 and 50 to NF-216 As to Endorsement No.15 to NF-216, please note the attached copies have an ink overprint on the Endorsement No. line. This Endorsement and Endorsement No. 14 were stamped in on the same day, August 2, 1974, and both had the number "14" typed on them. The correction must have been made by me subsequent to mailing both to the NRC.
I apologize for not having made the correction to your copies.
For your reference, I have enclosed one (1) copy of Endorsement No. 14.
The number is circled in red. This Endorsement you must have since you did not request it in your letter.
Also attached is a copy of my letter of May 21, 1982 to you transmitting Endorsement No. 50 to NF-216 and Endorsement No. 40 to MF-76.
The fact that we never received from you the acknowledgement copy of this transmittal does not indicate non-receipt. The May 21, 1982 letter was the last requesting acknowledgement of receipt because only once did we receive a signed and dated receipt. On several prior occasions, we telephoned and found you had received the applicable endorsements. My records indicate the next batch of endorsements was sent to you on January 6,1983 to your current Mail Stop AR-5037.
It may be the endorsements referred to above never got to you because they were sent to Mail Stop AR-2016.
It would be helpful to licensees if letters frvu the Commission would contain the appropriate current Mail Stop designation.

~ NOV 2 71984 Docket No. 50-271 Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation ATTN: Mr. Warren P. Murphy Vice President and Manager of Operations RD 5, Box 169 Brattleboro, Vermont 05301 Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection 50-271/84-10 This refers to your letter dated August 9,1984, in response to our letter dated July 12, 1984. Thank you for informing us of the corrective and preventive meas-ures documented in your response. These actions will be examined during a future inspection of your licensed program.
The violation concerned a failure by Instrument & Control (I&C) technicians to complete a calibration of the torus narrow range level channels in accordance with the instructions of OP 4374.
In your response, you disagreed that an actual vio-lation of OP 4374 occurred since the actions by I&C personnel to postpone the com-pletion of the calibration until the following day was not specifically disallowed by the procedure. You stated that previous experience with that particular cali-bration showed it was customary to defer final verification that the instruments were properly returned to service for about 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> until after ' thermal stabiliza-tion of the reference legs could be assured.
We agree that the circumstances particular to the torus level channels necessitate a wait period for thermal stabilization prior to final verification that the chan-nels were properly returned to service. Two hours is sufficient to assure thermal statilization and it would be proper to observe this wait period as part of the OP 4374 instructions. We believe that the actions to defer the final check to the next day was not only unnecessary to assure thermal stabilization, but also ex-cessive.
However, the length of the wait period was not the point of the violation, nor does it characterize the concern we had in bringing this matter to your attention. Our concerns regarding the activities on May 8, 1984 involve the incomplete and infor-mal manner in which test activities were terminated following the calibration, which left the duty Shift Supervisor unaware of the status of testing, and unaware of the status of instruments important to safe operation of the plant.
- Further, the high pressure coolant injection suction valves were found out of normal align-ment after 4:00 p.m. by operations personnel during shift checks. These valves were apparently out of position as a result of the incomplete status of OP 4374.
We believe that your management directives in OP 4374 were violated because the procedures does not explicitly allow stopping the test and deferring final verifi-cations. Whether a test is stopped at the end, middle or beginning, we consider it a violation of the procedure requirements and your management directives if the OFFICIAL RECORD COPY 50-271/84-10 REPLY - 0001.0.0 42%[o k
