2.

Reason for the violation if admitted:

i f

j h violation of Technical Specification 3.0.3 occurred because the Omp11ance Section did not delete the interpretation of T.S. 3.0.3 when the i

i Bases for T.S. 3.0.3 was amended cn June 21, 1988 h error occurred when f

l the responsible personnel in the ccmpliance section over-looked this change j

j durir.g a turnover of responsibilities. Also, contributing to the violation, j

Operaticns management personnel did not recognize that the change in the Bases on June 21,1988 for T.S. 3.0.3 invalidated the interpretaticm, and l

therefore, failed to provide training on the change in the T.S. Bases for l

Operations Cbntrol Ibcn personneA.

capleted during this refueling outage into one required reading package, and i

to distribute it at the end of the outage.

On July 23, 1988, Operaticos
