Subject:
NPPD Response to Inspection Report 50-298/86-01
Dear Mr. Gagliardo:
This letter is written in response to your letter dated September 8, 1986,
transmitting Inspection Report 50-298/86-01.
Therein you indicated that one
of our activities was in violation of NRC requirements.
Following is a statement of the violation and our response in accordance with
STATEMENT OF VIOLATION
Preventive Maintenance Procedures
Cooper Nuclear Technical Specification, Section 6.3.3,
states that
procedures shall be provided for preventive maintenance of plant
equipment that could have an effect on nuclear safety.
Contrary to the above, preventive maintenance procedures had not been
provided for all of the plant equipment that could affect plant safety.
REASON FOR TIIE VIOLATION
The statement of violation is correct in that preventive maintenance
procedures do not exist for all safety related plant equipment.
It should
be noted, however, that most of the vendor recommended preventive
maintenance is performed on the majority of safety related equipment
through either the CNS Preventive Maintenance (PM) Program, or the
CNS Surveillance Program.
The violation occurred because the station
did not have procedures which prescribed the manner in which the
existing PM Program had been developed, nor did procedures exist which
required the station PM Program to be maintained current with changing
vendor recommendations.

CORRECTIVE STEPS TAKEN AND RESULTS ACHIEVED
A PM upgrade program has been initiated which, when completed, will
cause the existing station PM requirements to reflect those recommended
in the safety related vendor manuals.
The program consists of:
1.
Comparing the existing station PM requirements to the vendor
recommendations, and
2.
Resolving the differences either by generating new PM's or
surveillance procedures or by an engineering evaluation to
provide a documented disposition for not performing the
vendor recommended action.
Presently, the program is approximately 65% complete.
CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH WILL BE TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER
VIOLATIONS
The upgrade program described above will be completed to make the PM
program current.
It will also be maintained current in the future by
establishing formal procedural controls.
DATE WHEN FULL COMPLIANCE WILL BE ACHIEVED
Formal procedural controls for maintaining the program will be in place
by December,1986.
The upgrade of the present program will then be
implemented by January,1987, and full compliance will be achieved as of
that date.
Should you have any questions regarding this response, please contact me.
