VIOLATION

'

The OCNGS Technical Specifications, paragraph 6.8.2 in part:

"Each

procedure ... shall be reviewed ... and approved ... prior to

implementation and periodically as specified in the Administrative

i

Procedures."

j

The OCNGS Station Procedure - 107, paragraph 3.3.4 requires:

" Review

I

shall be performed at least once every two years ..."

Contrary to the above, as of July 2,1987, sixteen Operations Engineering

d

Procedures, five Mechanical Engineering Procedures, three Fire Protection

J

Procedures,and twenty-one Maintenance, Construction and Facility

J

Department Procedures were not reviewed within the required two year

l

period and were overdue since December 1986.

RESPONSE TO VIOLATION

I

f

GPU Nuclear concurs with the violation as stated.

1)

Corrective steps which have been taken and results achieved.

a.

All responsible reviewing department heads have been informed of

the violation. The need to meet procedure review

responsibilities has been re-emphasized,

j

i

b.

The listing of overdue procedures which had been issued monthly,

1

is now being issued weekly.

The listing is sent directly to

i

personnel responsible for the procedures,

j

c.

Overdue procedures have been declared invalid.

Responsible

Reviewing Department heads have been notified to promptly review

these procedures and not use them until they have been

reviewed. The Document Control Center has been notified not to

issue any of the invalidated procedures until they have been

reviewed.

d.

The list of procedures overdue for review has been reduced to 9

as of August 27, 1987. Three of these procedures were overdue

prior to the month of August 1987.

Only one of these three was

overdue prior to January 1987.

This procedure has been

determined to need extensive revision prior to re-use.

As it is

a hydrotest procedure, it will not be needed until the next

refueling outage, presently scheduled for the third quarter of

1988.

The procedure review is in progress and scheduled for

completion by September 14, 1987.
