Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
REPORT NO. 50-424/86-132
-
Thank you for your response of February 27, 1987, to our Notice of Violation
issued on January 29, 1987, concerning activities conducted at 'your Vogtle
facility. We have evaluated your response and found that it meets the require-
ments of 10 CFR 2.201.
We will examine the implementation of your corrective
.
'
actions during future inspections.
We have reviewed your justification with regard to why this violation should be
re-classified as a Severity Level V rather than the stated Severity Level IV,
and have concluded that Severity Level IV is the appropriate classification.
This violation involved failure to meet regulatory requirements for more than
one Quality Assurance Criterion.
The documentation discrepancies concerning
operability of the remote shutdown panel were, alone, considered to be minor by
the inspectors during review of the test results in that NRC personnel were
present when the remote shutdown panel preoperational test was performed. The
validity of the test results would have been questioned, based on the
documentation discrepancies, if NRC personnel had not been present during
performance of the test. The area which was of greater concern to the
inspectors was that the documentation discrepancies were very obvious when the
test results were reviewed by the inspectors, but these discrepancies were not
identified during your review process. We do not consider violations involving
inadequate review of test results to be minor in that the review of completed
test results packages represents the last opportunity for appropriate members
..
'. of your engineering and management staff to ensure that systems and/or
components have been adequately tested to meet design requirements and other
commitments prior to issuance of the operating license.

Therefore, since the violation failed to meet more than one Quality Assurance
Criterion, and, had more than minor safety significance, it meets the Severity
Level IV Category listed in Supplement II to 10 CFR Part 2. Appendix C.
We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
.
