h ATTACHMENT COMMONWEALTH EDISON COMPANY RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION As a result'of the inspection conducted from March 18'through March 22, 1985, at' Quad-Cities Station, the following violation was

' identified:

Item of Noncompliance l1.

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, as implemented by Commonwealth Edison Corporate Quality. Assurance Manual, Chapter 5, states that measures to assure that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions.

-Contrary to the above:

a.

The licensee did not have administrative instructions assigning responsibility for implementation of the pump and valve inservice test program under Section XI of the ASME code, b.

Instructions prescribing test program technical details were not adequate in specifying requirements to meet the ASME Code.

c.

The use of pump and valve inservice test data (such as for trending analysis and evaluation) was not prescribed by instruction to assure the prompt identification and correction of conditions adverse to quality.

Corrective Actions Taken and Results Achieved The QAP 350 series of 1,1 service. testing program administrative procedures which provide program technical instruction are being revised.

Changes to these administrative procedures include the

-following:

1.

Assign the overall responsibility for the Inservice Testing Program to the IST Coordinator, which includes maintaining a program of trending appropriate test data.

2.

Assign the responsibilities of initial operability determination and initiating corrective actions as appropriate to the Station Control Room Engineer.

~

6., g,

fd v '

'3..

Specify that the first valve stroke will be used as the surveillance-test stroke time for the record, for initial-operability determination, and for trending.

4.. -Specify that the corrective action for' valve testing required at. cold shutdown will include an evaluation by the Station-Control Room Engineer.

If the evaluation indicates.a valve.

to be-inoperative, the condition will be corrected before startup.

A retest showing acceptable operation shall.be run

.following any required corrective action before the valve is returned to service.

5.-

Revise the procedure valve lists, QAP 350-S3 and S4, to include all applicable valves that are in the IST program.

The Station Modification Checklist, QTP 500-S8, is to be revised to identify ~the requirement for IST review for adding or modifying testing as a result-of plant design changes and modifications.

. CORRECTIVE ACTION TO BE'TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER~ NONCOMPLIANCE A station IST Coordinator will be designated.

He will ensure the.

long term viability of the Inservice Testing Program.

Date When Full-Compliance Will Be-Achieved Partial compliance will be achieved.by June 30, 1985, when a station IST Coordinator is designated.

Full compliance will be achieved by August 1, 1985, when all necessary procedural changes are implemented.
