SUBJECT:

PERIODIC INSPECTION OF SEISMIC MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION As the enclosed memorandum from J. G. Partlow indicates, some recent concerns have developed regarding the operability / reliability of seismic monitoring instrumentation. The regions have been asked to conduct periodic inspections of maintenance and testing of such instrumentation. The purpose of this memorandum is to outline the inspections we will perform in this area until such time as our routine modules have been revised per our request to Mr. Partlow (copy enclosed).

Initial Inspection (to be completed by September 30,1986)

Complete the enclosed form for each plant and submit to W. G. Guldemand. No more than three inspector hours per facility are to be expended in this request.

Periodic Inspection l

1 Annually, review the most recent maintenance and surveillance data on seismic monitoring instrumentation and verify: 1) that the equipment is operable; 2) required tests are on the licensee's test schedule;

3) any needed maintenance has been scheduled; and 4) any equipment failures have been appropriately documented. Physically inspect accessible instrumentation for evidence of deterioration or inoperability. Document the results of these inspections in a routine Resident Inspector report.

Please add item 2 above to your Master Inspection Plans.
