RESPONSE TO IE INSPECTION REPORT 86-023 On October 27, 1986, Consumers Power Company transmitted a response to the violation contained in IE Inspection Report 86-023, for the Palisades Plant.

Subsequent discussions with our NRC Resident Inspectors regarding that initial response have resulted in the preparation of the following revised response.

Item 1:

Violation (255/86023-01)

Administrative Procedure 5.01, " Processing Work Requests / Work Orders", A, Block 46 through 50, requires that maintenance which can affect the performance of Q-listed equipment, structures, or systems must be properly preplanned and performed in accordance with written procedures, instructions or drawings appropriate to the circumstances.

Contrary to the above, written procedures and instructions were not properly preplanned for the following maintenance activities to ensure adequate controls appropriate to the maintenance circumstances:

1 (1) On August 15, 1986, Q-listed Work Order No 24606289 controlling the maintenance activity for relocating auxiliary fuses in a station power breaker was inadequate such that links that were opened were not reclosed.

Palisades Plant Response to IEIR 86-023, Rev 1 December 23, 1986 (2) On August 23, 1986, Switching and Tagging Order No 86-1414 was inadequate to cut out one of the IC bus undervoltage relays prior to a Q-listed maintenance activity, similar to the above, commencing.

(3) On August 27, 1986, Q-listed Work Order No 24606631, controlling the installation of a turbine thrust bearing trip device, was inadequate since it failed to state the opening and reclosing of the link that defeats the automatic diesel generators start.

Response

Corrective Action Taken and Results Achieved i

Administrative procedures have been revised to provide enhanced controls during the maintenance process. Documentation of the following items is now required, when applicable: slide links opened / closed, leads lifted /

landed, blank flanges installed / replaced, spool pieces removed / installed and temporary hoses installed / removed. Any individual who signs for the completion of an activity assumes the responsibility for assuring, through personnel observations, that the activity has been completed as intended.

Corrective Actions To Be Taken To Avoid Further Violations A working level group of planners, engineers, etc. involved in the planning /

performance of maintenance activities will be assembled to evaluate the potential problem aspects of the preplanning process. Appropriate corrective actions will be determined subsequent to completion of their evaluation.

Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved A revised response will be submicted during the week of February 2, 1987, detailing the results of the ev.iluation and necessary corrective actions to be taken. The determination of a full compliance date will be available at that time.
