,
elements;to-be energized after the pressurizer was drained. . Failure to perform
.
q
an'. adequate review of a, safety analysis is.a violation of Technical
!
.
1 Specification requirements.
Response by the operations staff to the energizing;
- of;the heaters was rapid and effective, limiting the. total event time to-
,
- approximately 6 minutes. However,fthis. citation is being issued-because the-
'
Linadequate_ review of the safety analysis was not discovered prior-to the-
self-disclosing consequences of the event.
You.are required to respond t.o this letter and should follow the instructions-
4
specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing.your response.
