As audit was conducted betveen the dates of 11/27/78 and 1/17/79 for the purpose of assessing the adequacy cf and ce=pliance with the Technical

.Specificatics Appendix A i=plementing precedures at TMI Units 1 a. d 2.

Since the Unit 2 Technical Specificatics had set teen issued at the ti=e of the last A;;endix 3 audit, the sce;e was expanded to include Unit 2 A;;endix 3.

"he c;erating and startup precedure for both units appear to accurately reflect the limits of A;;endix A.

All of the reviews required by the Unit 2 Teci.:ical Specificatics Appendix 3 are being cc: ducted by the M-GOA er his designee.

The culy proble= identified is that GF 0019 dces act refleet current practice l

in that the GRC-2 performs the envirec= ental i= pact review of changes to the CC-2 Inrire== ental Technical Specifica 1ces.

A.5 A formi post audit review vas not censidered to be necessary.

Results vere discussed with individuals during the course of the audit.

Note that the period during which this audit was conducted extended beyced the corresponding period of the previous audit. This was due to the personnel shortage within the QA section.

V.

Detailed Reviev

~

A reviev of the respective unit operating and startup proce'dures was con-ducted to ensure that they reflected the Technica.1 Specification LCO's.

This reviev was satisfactory in that all of the LCO's checked vere accurately reflected.

The audit tea = vas concerned about the lack of an adM M strative procedure which specifies the responsibilities for the identification, reviev, and follev-up of necreutine and reportable events. The T!C-2 staff had pre-vicusly responded to the sa=e questien during NRC Inspection 50-320/78-2h.

Their response vas that these functicus are inherently performed by plant

=acase=ent, PORC =e=bers, and licensed operators based en their knowledge of Technical Specification reporting require =ects.

Reportable events are referred to the Unit Superintendent and PORC for review and evaluation.

If required, PORC Action Items are issued to track the corrective action.

Based on acceptable past performance, the NRC Inspector felt this was acceptable.

Ecvever, QA feels that such an ad=inistrative precedure-is i

needed. This precedure(s) should also specify the responsibilities for the 1

review and follov-up of NRC identified'ite=s.

Because the Unit 1 Technical Specification Appendix 3 Inviron= ental Monitoring Progrs= had been audited (in Nove=ber 1977 - audit 77-28) prior to the issuance of the Unit 2 Tech. Specs., the Unit 2 Appendix 3 vas included in this audit.

However, since the sa=e ad=inistrative controls are being uti-liced, this audit restricted itself to ensuri:g that the reviews required by paragraphs 5 3 and 5 2 are being preperly conducted.

The audit revealed that except for one case all of the required reviews are fer= ally conducted in e.ccordance with approved procedures or instructices.

The one area act found to be satisfacterJ' is the review of proposed Technical Specification Appendix i

3 changes for their envirec= ental impact. This review is being accomplished by the GRC-2.

The M-GOA stated in,GCM h618 (10/9/78) that the GRC-2 charter (GP 0019) veuli be revised to include this review functics so as to for= alice the i=plementation of para. 5 31.d which requires this review.

Eevever, the audit tes= found that both the currently approved revision, Rev. O, and the revisien viich is being sent around for the approve.1 signatures do not contain this ch sse.

As a result, it appears that propcsed changes to Appendix t

3 do not receive for-ai environ = ental reviews (see finding 1).
