UFSAR, Revision 6, Section 17.2.1.1.1.7.F states the Safety Review Board (SRB) shall be responsible for reviewing significant operating abnormalities or deviations from normal and expected performance of plant equipment that affect nuclear safety.- Section 17.2.1.1.1.7.H also states the SRB shall review all recognized indications of an unanticipated deficiency in some aspect of design or operation of structures, systems, or components that could afTect nuclear safety.
l Contrary to the above, during SRB meetings conducted on December 18,1996, and Apri130,1997, incidents or events associated with UFSAR Sections 17.2.1.1.1.F and H were not reviewed unless they also resulted in an audit finding, event report, violation, or special report."

The three events identified in the inspection as not having been reviewed by the SRB were reviewed by the SRB on August 29,1997.
2.
Procedure VSRB-05, " Safety Review Board," has been revised to provide guidance as to what specific items need to be reviewed to meet the two SRB review criteria discussed in the deviation.
