Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
DOCKET NOS. 50-424/87-11 AND 50-425/87-07
Thank you for your response of March 31, 1987, to our Notice of Violation
issued on March 3,1987, concerning licensed activities conducted at your
Vogtle facility.
We have evaluated
your response to Violation B and found
that it meets the requirements of 10 CFR 2.201.
We will examine the
implementation of your actions to correct Violation B during future inspections.
After careful consideration of the basis for your denial of Violation A, we
have concluded that the violation is the same issua as the deviation discussed
in your March 31, 1987 letter, and is, therefore, withdrawn and our records will
be so amended.
Based on the conversation between Mr. Charles Hayes of your staff and
Mr. W. P. Kleinsorge of this office on July 15, 1987, it is our understanding
that you will provide a supplemental response for the devittion discussed in
our letter, dated August 29,1986 (50-424/86-59 and 50-424/86-26) to this
office.
After careful consideration of the basis for your request that the Severity
Level for Violation B should be reduced to Severity Level V, we have concluded,
for the reasons presented in the enclosure to this letter that the Severity
Level stands.
The response directed by this letter is not subject to the clearance procedure
of the Office of Management and Budget issued under the Paperwork Reduction
Act, PL 96-511.
We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Original Signed by
Luis A. Reyes

STAFF ASSESSMENT OF LICENSEE RESPONSE
~
Restatement of Violation B (50-424/87-11-02 and 50-424/87-07-02)
10 CFR 50.55(e)(3) requires the holder of a construction permit to submit
-
a written report on a reportable deficiency within thirty (30) days.
The
report shall include a description of the deficiency, an analysis of the
safety implications and the corrective action taken, and sufficient
information to permit analysis and evaluation of the deficiency and of
the corrective action.
Contrary to the above, the licensee did not submit a report with
-
sufficient information to permit analysis and evaluation of the corrective
actions in that the licensee was unable to identify the 120 deficient
heating ventilating and air conditioning duct supports reported in
Construction Deficiency Report (CDR) No. 82-32 of September 30, 1982.
Summary of Licensee's Response
After careful review of the severity categories prescribed in Supplement
-
II to 10 CFR 2, Appendix C, and evaluation of the event cited in
the violation, GPC has concluded that a more appropriate severity
classification is Severity Level V - violations that have minor safety
or environmental significance.
Since GPC's corrective actions relative
to CDR 82-32 were determined to be adequate by the NRC, the violation
identifies a document retrievability discrepancy that has minor safety
significance; therefore, the Severity Level should be reduced to Severity
Level V.
NRC Evaluation
The violation was a failure to provide an adequate report of significant
-
construction deficiency which is contrary to 10 CFR 50(e)(3) which was
exacerbated by a document retrievability discrepancy.
NRC Conclusion
Violation B was appro,priately categorized as a Severity Level IV.
