Mr. J. E. Gagliardo, : Chief Reactor. Projects Branch U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region IV 611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 1000' 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.

'. Mr. J. E. Grgli:rdo Octtber 7,1986 Page 2 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 j
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 WIIEN 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, h
J. M. Pflant Technical Staff Manager Nuclear Power Group JMP:JRF:ss i
