Gentlemen:
SUBJECT: REPORT NOS. 50-321/86-20 AND 50-366/86-20
Thank you for your response of September 19, 1986, to our Notice of Violation
issued on August 20, 1486, concerning activities conducted at your Hatch
facility.
We have evaluated your response and found that it meets the
requirements of 10 CFR 2.201.
We will examine the implementation of your
corrective actions during future inspections.
After careful review of your request for reconsideration of the severity level of
the violation from a Severity Level IV to a Severity Level V, we have concluded
that the assigned severity level should stand as stated in the Notice of Violation.
Our basis for this decision is that the violation was the result of inadequate
design and installation controls of the Unit 1 Control Rod Drive Hydraulic
Control Units (HCUs).
This was a Quality Assurance problem which we do not
consider to be of minor significance especially when our inspectors found that
all Unit 1 HCUs were installed without the required plain punched washers. Also,
the safety significance of the installed HCU configuration was not known at the
time of the finding.
It was subsequently evaluated by your staff and determined
to be acceptable in that the installed HCU configuration did not represent a
problem with respect to continued safe operation of the unit. We do agree with
that evaluation, however, the Quality Assurance problem necessitates a Severity
Level IV classification.
We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Ihr
