10 CFR 2.201 INFORMATION

PUBLIC SERVICE ELECTRIC AND GAS

HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION

RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Your letter dated March 14, 1986 identified one Violation of

10 CFR 50 Appendix B Criterion XI, Test Control. As stated

therein, the Violation was the result of a failure of test

procedures to incorporate all requirements and acceptance limits

contained in applicab,le design documents. Specifically, Startup

Test Procedure TE-SU.ZZ-041(Q) " Full Core Shutdown Margin Demon-

stration" Revision 0 was issued without completely addressing the

,

requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.68, Revision 2.

1. PUBLIC SERVICE ELECTRIC ANE GAS DOES NOT DISPUTE THE

VIOLATION.

2.

THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE VIOLATION WAS FAILURE OF THE PROCE-

DURE AUTHOR TO ADDRESS APPLICABLE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

ADEQUATELY IN PREPARING THE TEST PROCEDURE AND FAILURE

TO IDENTIFY THE NOTED DEFICIENCIES IN THE REVIEW AND

APPROVAL PROCESS. .

3. IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:

a) Revision 1 to test procedure TE-SU.ZZ-041(Q) was

issued on March 8, 1986 properly addressing each

of the identified deficiencies.

b) By January 31, 1986, the Power Ascension Manager

4

had counseled and reinstructed his personnel in their

responsibilities to ensure that the Power Ascension

Program and implementing procedures are in complete

compliance with the governing documents.

c) A Technical Review Board (TRB) was established within

the Power Ascension Department to provide a detailed

compliance review of all existing and future power

ascension test procedures. The TRB has completed its

review of all open-vessel test procedures.

4. LONG TERM CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:

a) A Power Ascension Test Matrix has been developed for

-

use in procedural development. This matrix facili-

tates the identification of applicable Regulatory

-

Guide 1.68 requirements and FSAR sections for each

test procedure.

b) By memo dated March 31, 1986, the Power Ascension

!

,

Manager advised all Power Ascension personnel of the

nature of this violation and our corrective actions.

5. FULL COMPLIANCE WAS ACHIEVED ON MARCH 31, 1986.
