Region IV

Arlington, Texas 76011

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

10CFR2.201.

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.

Sincerely,
