Gentlemen:
l'
We reviewed Mr. Berry's' response of'Octoberil, 1987 to the Notice.of Violation
1
'
issued with our Inspection Report No. 50-155/87019. Aseindicated in:the-
inspection report, we'had carefully' considered the circumstances.ofLthe event-
in light' of the guidance of' 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C,- cited by,Mr. ' Berry.
1
-
We concluded then, as;now, that the issuanc'e of .theLNOV.was" warranted.
The
>
decision was taken because in this event three independent personnel errors
'
..
were,made.by.two different operators; the Auxiliary Operator erred:in assessing.-
'
the' valve' position and he did not. checkithe. flow monitor;oand the ControlLRoom
- )
,
Operator did.not properly interpret the radiation: monitor reading. :The: event
'
-
would have been promptly identified if any one of!these errors'had:not'been
made. However, the problem was not found = for appro'ximately four hours, at
j
7
which time the discharge had been-completed and the shift changed.
It'is o'ur
1
opinion that the cumulative personnel errors represented weaknesses in'the
j
operations program due to deficiencies in the' procedures and an apparent lack
of attentiveness of the operators to the job.
Mr. Berry stated that all corrective actions taken to prevent. recurrence have
been completed. These actions will be reviewed by the NRC Resident Inspector.
