RESPONSE TO NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-341/85037 Stat.queAt._Qf_Xqncomlian.qc_15.Q11_02 Technical Specification 4.3.1.1 states, "Each reactor protection system instrumentation channel shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by the performance of a CHANNEL CHECK, CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST, and CHANNEL CALIBRATION operations for the OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS and at the frequenc.tes shown in Table 4.3.1.1-1".

Table 4.3.1.1-1 requires the channel functional test to be performed weekly for shutdown conditions

~

(Modes 3 and 4) for the intermediate Range Monitors (IRMs).

Contrary to the above, on September 6, 1985, the licensee failed to perform the required weekly channel functional tests on IRMs B, G, and H within the required time interval as required by Technical Specification 4.3.1.1.

C OIJ;.qc t.LM.t_ hCRLQ D_3Ak CD._qnd_RqGU.1L.G._b9hlC2D_4 On September 7, 1985 the IRM surveillances for channels B, G and H were successfully completed.

All three IRMs were operable when tested and would have performed their intended function.

CD rJ.cgi.ile_AQ.tiDIL_to_bA_TaLq11_to_2Y9.ist_E91AhcI_Rqussmli aAqe To minimize the possibility of recurrence, surveillance Performance Forms are now posted with the critical completion date (that date when Technical Specification allowed overrun expires) in addition to the scheduled completion date previously posted.

The weekly surveillance schedule is now included in the Plan-of-the-Day with overdue surveillances posted for emphasis to the operating shift and plant management.

A new scheduling printout noting desired completion dates, critical completion dates, and previous completion dates is provided daily to the Nuclear Shift Supervisor for all surveillances.

Discussions have been conducted with Nuclear Instrumentation and Control Foreman to emphasize the importance of meeting critical completion dates and to clarify their role in assisting the operating shift to ensure surveillances are performed on time.

QatAJibCIL.Eull._CQI:LO1LQDSA Will D9_AthiAV_qd Full compliance has been achieved.
