S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region I 631 Park Avenue King of Prussia, PA 19406
Dear Mr. Starostecki:
Appendix B to your letter dated June 14, 1985 addresses practices which were identified by Inspection 50-277/85-15 as weaknesses with respect to Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Unit 2.
Our response along with the actions taken to improve these practices are discussed below.
l Restatement of Weakness (1)
No provision was made to perform a final systematic review of open problem reports (quality assurance findings, quality control nonconformance and noncompliance reports) to ensure disposition prior to plant restart.
Response
l Admission We acknowledge that a formal administrative program was lacking for systematically reviewing open problem reports prior to plant restart following the outage for replacement l
of IGSCC sensitive primary system piping in Unit 2.

F Mr. Richard W. Starostecki, Director Page 2 Reason Philadelphia Electric Company relied on site QA Supervision to -review open problem reports without the benefits of a formal program.
Significance The reliance on~ site QA Supervision to review open problem reports without a formal program could have allowed inadequate review of'some open problem reports prior to plant restart, following the extended outage.
Corrective Actions Taken For Improvement In This Area A computer program has been developed which will include all.
This Quality Assurance Tracking and Trending. System (QATTS) has the capability of listing all items that have been identified as impacting startup.
Following extended' outages _for plant modifications, site QA l
Supervision will review the QATTS listing of open problem reports and advise the Superintendent-Operations of those reports that could impact plant restart.
The QATTS iisting of open problem reports and the review of.
the list by site QA Supervision will provide the needed systematic review program.
Date When Improvement Is Planned All QA and QC problem reports are being entered into the new QATTS data base.
The listing of all open problem reports which are identified as impacting. plant startup will be reviewed:by site QA Supervision prior.to restart following major modification outages which-begin after January 1, 1986.
Restatement of Weakness (2)

Response
Admission We acknowledge that the requalification program previously did not require that the senior licensed staf f members preparing the requalification examination were periodically administered an examination themselves.
Reason The requalification examinations were prepared by the same staf f members each year.
Therefore these staff members could not be requalified through its use.
Significance We consider the significance to be minimal.
The individuals who'were not administered an examination are trained professional senior staff members active in the day-to-day operation of the plant and are members of the Plant Operating Review Committee.
Corrective Actions To Be Taken For Improvement In This Area Four senior staff members have been designated to prepare / review examinations in the future.
These four senior staff members will systematically rotate the requalification examination preparation / review, which will ensure that all staff members are examined periodically.
The staff member who has not been examined for four years will be examined during the next examination scheduled to start in January, 1986.
Date When Improvement Is Planned Full compliance will be achieved following completion of the next examination which is scheduled to start in January 1986.
