NOTICE OF DEVIATION Centerior Service Company Docket No. 50-440 Perry Nuclear Power Plant License No. NPF-58 During an NRC inspection conducted on July 21, through August 27,1997, deviations of your Generic Letter (GL) 89-13 commitments were identified. In accordance with the

" General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG 1600, the deviations are listed below.

A. PNPP response to GL 89-13," Service Water Problems Affecting Safety-Related Equipment," PY-CEl/NRR-1121, dated January 26,1990, stated that "... The ESW air-to-water heat exchanger (HPCS room cooler) will be inspected and cleaned at each refuel outage, fin and tube side, as an alternative to performance testing."

This commitment to clean and inspect the heat exchangers was identified in the Perry Regulatory Information Management System as commitment LO1181.

Contrary to the above, as of March 27,1997, there was documentation that the HPCS room cooler was inspected, however, there was no documentation to substantiate that the room cooler was cleaned as committed in PY-CEl/NRR-1121 and confirmed in PY-CEl/NRR-1734L. The licensee stated that to their knowledge, inspections were performed, but no cleaning was done on the HPCS Room Cooler.

B. PY-CEl/NRR-1734L, dated April 8,1994 Implementation of GL 89-13, " Service Water Problems Affecting Safety-Related Equipment," states "With available improvements in methodology cited above, the HPCS Room Cooler will now be tested, or alternato monitoring methods will be determined in accordance with Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) NP-7552," and "PNPP will maintain the present testing frequencies of once per cycle until such time as our testing demonstrates that a reduced frequency is warranted."

The HPCS Room Cooler was tested in June 1995. Calculation M39-6, HPCS Room Cooler Performance Test Results 1995," deemed the test results inconclusive. From June 1995 through August 27,1997, no other operability test was conducted. The licensee had not been successful in establishing a performance test program for the HPCS room cooler and had reverted to the inspection program, but had extended the frequency beyond each cycle without a history of testing to demonstrate that a reduced frequency was warranted.

Please provide to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region lil, and a copy to the NRC Resident inspector at the facility that is the subject of this Notice, in writing within 30 days of the date of this Notice, (1) the reason for the deviation, or it contested, the basis for dispating the deviation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further deviations. and (4) the date when your corrective action will be completed. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
