KMLNRC 86-019 Re: Docket No. STN 50-482 Subj : Response.to Inspection Report STN 50-482/85-37

Dear Mr. Johnaon:

This letter is written in response to your letter of January 2, ~1986, which transmitted Inspection Report STN 50-482/85-37. As requested, the violation (50-482/8537-01) identified in the Inspection Report is being addressed in four parts.

(a) The reason for the violation if admitted; (b) The corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (c) Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and ,

(d) The date when full compliance will be achieved.

N J$ 1. Violation (50-482/8537-01): Nonseismic Glass Level Gauge Not Isolated Fi8' oo Finding:

on CD J 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V states, in part, " Activities nu affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions,

@O procedures, or drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances ..."

o<

N The Checklist (CKL) EG-120, Revision 5, " Component Cooling Water System

$$ Valve, Switch, and Breake- Lineup," has been established in accordance CD O C with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V.

Contrary to the above, CKL EG-120 was inappropriate to the circumstances in that Valves EG-V 160, 161, 171, and 172 were opened in accordance with Checklist A of-CKL'EG-120 when the valves should have been closed due to the level gauge between the valves being nonseismic.

. i Mr. E.H. Johnson KMLNRC 86-019 Page 2 January'31, 1986 Reason For Violation If Admitted:- '

This personnel error occurred because the need to isolate ' nonseismic level gauges was not recognized in the procedure preparation / review process.

Corrective Steps Which Have Been Taken And Results Achieved:

L Checklist CKL EG-120 has been revised to show .the four valves ' locked closed.

• A review of all safety-related tanks was conducted to identify -similar nonseismic level gauges. Five additional tanks'were identified:

Containment Spray Additive Tank (valves'were closed but not locked)

Emergency Fuel Oil Day Tank A Emergency Fuel Oil Day Tank B Jacket Cooling Water Expansion Tank A Jacket Cooling Water Expansion Tank B ,

The appropriate checklists have been revised to require the level gauge isolation valves locked closed.

All affected valves have been locked closed. Each has been added to procedure ADM 02-102, Control of Locked Component Status, to ensure proper positioning.

Corrective Steps Which Will Be Taken To Avoid Further Violations:

Corrective actions discussed - above provide adequate assurance that further violations will be avoided.

Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achived:  ;

Full Compliance has been achieved. '

Very truly yours, Glenn L. Koester +
