RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION ITEM REPORTED DURING NRC INSPECTION CONDUCTED FROM OCTOBER 9 TO 17, 1984 INSPECTION REPORT 50-338/84-37 AND 50-339/84-37 NRC COMMENT:
Technical Specification 6.5.7.6.a requires that the SNSOC review periodic test procedures.
The accepted QA program, Section 5.3.2 requires that procedure revisions be reviewed.
Contrary to the above, adequate reviews of two periodic tests were not performed since the tests were issued and performed with certain steps in error, specifically 1-PT-94.7 (Revision 1, steps 4.12, 4.19.1, and 4.19.2) and 1-PT-94.5 (Revision 1, step 1.1)
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement 1).

ADMISSION OR DENIAL OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATION This violation is correct as stated.

REASONS FOR THE VIOLATION The procedure review and approval process requires that the new or revised procedure be submitted in draft form for safety reviews and approved by the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee.
When approved, the procedure goes through a typing and proofreading process until issued in its final form. The reviews conducted during the typing and proofreading process, to ensure that the final product was the same as the approved draft and that the errors were corrected, was not adequate, 3.
CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND THE RESULTS ACHIEVED The errors that were noted in the inspection report were corrected by revising the procedures.
In addition, the procedures in question were reviewed to ensure that errors that could obscure or confuse the intent and purpose of the procedure did not exist.
4.
CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH WILL BE TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER VIOLATIONS In order to strengthen the procedure review process, more explicit
-direction to reviewers will be provided in the processing procedure for new and revised procedures and in the procedure that governs the periodic review program for all station procedures. Supervisors will be reinstructed on the importance of.the final review process.
