Re: Reply to Notice of Violation

Violation B
1. The nuclear safety officer, Mr. Connolly was under the mistaken
impression that daily visual inventory of the machines was
acceptable.
2. Tne corrective steps include noting the location of the gauges
on a 6 month basis coinciding with the leak test schedule. The
inventory results will be noted on a calendar maintained for
this purpose.
3. Mr. Connolly ' offered his assurance that he will personally
maintab the leak test and inventory schedule or will delegate
this task in writing if physically unable to do so.
4. The corrective measures have been in full force since May 19,
1988, the date of the semiannual leak test. >
Violation C
1. The nuclear safety officer, Mr. Connolly was under the mistaken '
impression that the leak test was an annual event. He is rather
well aware thit this is not the case and has assured me that the
semiannual leak test is now his policy.
.
2. The corrective steps included a verbal reprimand of Mr. Connolly
and his marking of a schedule / calendar for leak testing in 1988.
3. Mr. Connolly has offered his assurance and physically indicated
the calendar in question to me. He further states that Mr.
Pusich will perform the tests if Mr. Connolly is not present to
do so.
Violation D
1. The reason for this violation is related to our filing system.
Nuclear records were co-mingled with clerical / payroll records
for these periods and were subsequently misplaced.
2. We have tightened up procedures by adopting an in-house rule
that Ms. Florence Johnson will obtain and file the monthly film
badge records in accordance with the system initialed in July
1987. We have ordered from the film badge test company the
missing test records and requested that copies of these records
be forwarded to J.F. Pang of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Walnut Creek, Calif nia.
