SUBJECT:

I&E Inspection Report 85-12

REFERENCE:

NRC Letter, Johnson to Lee, dated 05/07/85 (G-85174)

Dear Mr. Johnson:

This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation received as a result of inspections conducted at Fort St. Vrain during the period April 15-19, 1985. The following response to the items contained in the Notice of Violation is hereby submitted:

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by, and accomplished in accordance with documented procedures. This requirement is implemented, in part, by Administrative Procedure G-2, which requires compliance with authorized procedures or initiation of action to obtain changes if compliance is not possible.

Contrary to 'ie

.. above, the Authorization Sheet to Rework Task 1 of FHPWP-100-11 had not been filled out or signed by the shift manager and health physics prior to starting work. Step 11.0 of that Rework Task also was not signed by health physics.

Task 42 of FHPWP-100-39 was completed without the health physics notification signature required in Step 42.0.

> .~

s, Task 15 of FHPWP-100-39 was signed out at 5:00 a.m. on April 17, 1985, and not signed in by the end of the shift as required by that procedure.

This is a Severity Level V Violation. (Supplement I)

(267/8512-01)

(1)The. corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved:

Discussions were held with all CR00A Refurbishment Program Shift Managers and- contractor superintendents emphasizing the importance of the administrative procedure controls sited as having been violated. Since the responsibility for ensuring that such signatures were obtained had not been specifically assigned previously, the responsibility was placed on the contractor superintendent. Additionally, a practice of keeping the contractor superintendent and lead QC representative over to verify that all paperwork associated with their assigned shift's work was properly signed-off was established. This practice has proven very effective in precluding procedure violations of this nature.

(2) Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations:

No further corrective actions are anticipated.

(3) The date when full compliance will be achieved:

May 15, 1985.

Should you have any further questions, please contact Mr. Frank J. Novachek, (303) 571-7436, ext. 201.

Sincerely, J. W. Gahm Manager, Nuclear Production Fort St. Vrain Nuclear Generating Station JWG/djc
