Gentlemen:
The purpose of this letter is to request that you notify us when 90% of your
-surveillance procedures in support of Technical Specifications are approved
for use.
Preliminary review of the results of the recent team inspection (April 29-
. May 3,1985) indicated that there was a shortfall in the preparation of
procedures to implement Technical Specifications. We are still assessing the
results of this inspection; however, preliminary review indicates that there
were more than 300 open items identified by this inspection. The majority of
these open items concern your procedures for implementing Technical
Specifications.- Additionally, some of the problems found were with procedures
which purportedly have been through your review process and were ready for
use.
It is.our experience that many operational problems experienced by newly
licensed plants can be prevented by the careful preparation of procedures and
a meticulous review of procedures prior to implementation.
The reinspection of Technical Specification implementing procedures is a large
inspection effort.
In order to plan this effectively, it is requested that
you keep us closely advised of your progress toward the 90% completion point.
Sincerely,
oritrM rb~a h
